Eh?

So, spent yesterday with many doctors, again!, I really am tired of doctors!

Seems my flu which flattened me last week was actually food poisoning and it took me a few hours to trace back dining at Denny's on Tuesday.  I had not liked the smell or taste but I was hungry and had never been made actually ill by eating there before.  URP!  This plus a little problem I had there back in 2013 with items being stolen from my car while I was there ..... and later observed in the possession of one of the cooks ..... I can pass on ever eating there again.

My sinus infection which set in last week also, well, yeah it is.  So now on my favorite antibiotic!  URP!  But, it should be cleared up by surgery day next week.

And then I went in for a hearing test ....  Yeah, functionally deaf if you are a soft spoken female!  LOL!

It seems all of those years shooting for the Army back in the 1970's, quite literally millions of rounds, as they trained me to be as natural with my Model 21 rifle - as pointing my finger!  Yeah, I knew my rifle well ....  But, then that was the point of those three years and that sea of brass I had to produce each week (5,000 rounds per afternoon!)!

I guess that once I can walk again, perhaps around mid-May, I will think about twin hearing aids - sigh ...  I get to be the first ever in my family line to ever use one, since the 1880's and great-great-grandfather Scott.  He had a cool horn he carried around :)  Were it not he was owner of a custom gun manufacturing firm, as well as a brewery, I would go for the idea of being a pirate - with a horn ...  LOL!

Man, growing old sucks!

But, at least the hearing aids will help me if someone is whispering or is female ... don't much need to worry about females, outside of my daughters none talk to me much anyway and none of my daughters are troubled by being quiet!  LOL!
