Hi Guys (and Gals),
Sandy just left me a message (sorry I couldn't get outta bed fast enough to get to the phone). I'm ok. Not great but, ok. I have uncontrolled atrial fibrillation (afib) and tire very eaaily so I have been napping a lot. The gave me Xaralto to keep me from clotting and are running a bunch of test. I had the Holter thingy that you wear for 24 hours the day before yesterday and am scheduled for some more tests next week. The cardiologist is concerned about the circulation in my feet and says there is a bit of gurgling in the arteries in the right side of my neck. He has an excellent reputation and seems like a great guy. First thing he told me was not to worry, we can fix this.
Just been keeping quiet and relaxing. Not doing much of anything which sux because I have bunches of stuff that needs doing. I apologise for not keeping you all better informed and I promise to do better.
I'm way behind here too so if I miss some messages from anyone please, don't take it personally. :)
Finally!

Hopefully they'll get you all fixed up quickly with the bonus that they finally got you off your feet for a rest.

Thanks for stopping in and giving us an update. Some of us have been silently apprehensive about your welfare. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.

Don't be silent just call me or text me Sandy and Iffy have my number and are welcome to PM it to any of the usual suspects if ask. I text more than anything for quick updates but call if you wanna jaw a bit. If I don't answer leave a message cause I'm not good at answering unidentified phone numbers but, as soon as I get a message from someone I know they go into my contacts list. Problem solved. :)

In case anyone is interested. Tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary off of the stinkies! I'm super proud. After over 22 years of smoking I can say with certainty I'll never go back!

Sometime in March. He's still waiting to sew on which is what they call it now when you get promoted. He can't do it till he is set up with a date for ALS Airman Leadership School which is in New Mexico so he is trying to get a waiver so he can re up as E5 6k difference in bonus plus he wants to do it over there so there will be no IRS bills but he has 30 days to do it once he is back. He's got 5 1/2 years in of a 6 year enlistment going to re up for 4 more. The ALS is 5 weeks but he has to have 2 weeks at home when he gets back. He'll go for the 5 weeks to NM coming home on the weekends it's a 2 1/2 hour drive each way. USAF is a lot tougher on rank then the Army it seems to me. I think he will be able to work on it more now that he is back in Kuwait with his computer.

I think that drive will take a little more than 2 1/2 hours! Hope it works out for him.

@Uncle Willie hmm must be mental telepathy, that's what we're watching right now. The Shining. It's gotta be something mental not sure what though.

We like to call that "Back Porch Mind Meld" .. ;)

It has a long and storied History ::

Yeah but he'll be back in El Paso then can't remember what she said it was to the AF base in NM and the bridge from Kuwait is not quite ready yet.

That is stupid beyond belief... if a person is born with a penis it's male, if a vagina it's a female.. no matter their later-on proclivity....just my take on it....
Now wait you are a sweet little old lady. Right??
