Side Tracked
So, you might have noticed that I was absent for a week.
Not on purpose, mind you.
But just a product of my body failing again,
And God saying,
"No, not yet ..."
I went to my cardiologist for answer to the question of why is my left leg healing so slowly?
Next thing I know,
I am on table and surgical staff are talking about whether to restart my heart again!
Yeah it utterly stopped four times!
A two hourr exam became a solid day in critical care and a lost week!
In the end, we did find I had no open arteries to my left leg.
They opened them again.
So, with restored blood flow shpild come restored healing to my left foot!
Guess we will see!

Monday
Monday was an utter disaster!
Went to dialysis for my usual five hour visit -
Only they had to pull me off the machine at 90 minutes!
Yeah, I was itching so bad I could not sit still
And kept pulling the needles out!
Yeah. freaks them out everytime!!!!!
It was noon by the time I got home -
Completely covered in HIVES!
Oh dear oyd that was just misery!
And the more you scratch,
The more you itch!
I guess my Phosphorous levels were high .......
Now I had thought it was Potassium which did this to you.
So, for two years I Have been dutiful in keping track of my Potassium.
Phosphorus is a little harder to track.
The government does not require it being tracked.
So almost no one does!
I know dairy products are high in phospherus,
As is meat.
Total sum of my knowledge!
But heat and eat meals are high,
and chocolate, with dark being the wirest.
Oh, yeah:
And Cola products.
So Monday, I had a chocken pot pie,
With a Coke,
Some heritage cereal - with Cream.
Yeah everything I ate on Monday morning had
Bathed in Phosphorus
And was completely poisonous to me!
So gotta go and use the door frame as my personal backscratched!
Oh yeah .....

Sleepless in Seattle
Again.
sigh ....
Yeah, but has been about a month since a full nights sleep.
Usually, I only can manage 60 minutes,
With a sleeping pill, maybe 2 hours.
If I am lucky!
My doctor thinks I am stressed out over my health.
Yeah, he is a bit clueless.
But, then I decieded I would save him from the real me.
So, I know it is not stress!
My sleeplessness is just that,
Sleep for 90 minutes then I am awake.
And it is with a sound that always awakens me:
Like a small explosion.
And there never is .....
Too weird.
If you research this,
You find that this is considered by people whom should know better,
To be your harbinger of your pending death!
Now where on Earth do they find these experts?
(I take that back, if I die this weekend! )

Musical Saturday Morning
I thought a little Falco would be good, but which one!?!?
So many 1980 hits,
In both English and Austrian!
Finally I went a live video of him doing his first English hit.
Though my chpoice would have been the Austrian version
Because it was more interesting.
sigh
Anyway, enjoy .....

Pandemic
The Pandemic here locally has been picking up slightly.
We only 8 cases of COVID in the first go around,
And the all got the disease in Seattle!
Of all the people I know,
Only Swede has had the disease,
And he caught in his Bible study!
That study had 26 people go down with it!
Luckily, no deaths we know of.
Locally, we have had nothing.
So my medical friends have told me.
And it appears we are set for round two!
Yeah, all those whom were so certain there was no danger.
So, here in my little town:
Four engineers at Gaelic Girls work have succomed
Two at Youngest Daughter's store are ill
But with so few,
Most of the hospitals are closing their special units.
My local hospil was prepared for 180,
Per government prediction.
Of course, six is hard to call a pandemic.
Of course business is at the mercy oy our over-reacting leaders.
Whom are jerking around bisiness as much as they can!
So by and large everyone does what they want to -
Let the courts figure it out later!
Unfortunately, you as a customer are on the buble.
You never know which businesses are open which days,
Much Much less which times,
Nor how many they will let in at a time!
Sigh, how does one even shop for food when your store:
Might be open from 10 to 4 only,
Has a maximum of 35 peop[le allowed in at a time,
And you are only allowed 20 minutes before you have to go requeue!
And that is another 3+ hour wait for your turn again!!!!!
So, pretty much it is off to grocery stores at 6 am.
Be at restaurants when doors open.
And good luck ever going to a hobby store!
But at least bookstores are open and not popular!
As for church,
It is going to open ..... But:
Only allowed a 25% occupancy - or - no more than 200 people at a time
And must be deep cleaned after each service!
So, I am just not going to attend any services for at least this year.
But if we look at our last pandemic,
It lasted for 3 years,
Before it finally died out in the arctic areas!
So, will COVID run the same course?
Scientists are banking on a yearly flu model,
One year - then a mutation to deal with later.
Unlike the swine flu aka Spanish Flu model of:
You got forever!
Until it dies off!
Of course, it was not a threat to everyone,
Nor is COVID!
Spanish Flu, like the Plague,
Was limited only to people whom do not carry the D-34 gene.
Yeah, unlike popular victim based science,
Not everyone is going to get it!
If your ancestors survived the Black Plaque,
So will you survive!
Of course it is the foolish man whom gambles!

Longing For old days!
Wow, what a sleep I had!
Did not get up until 4 pm Tuesaday,
Ate a latrge dinner at the local cantina,
Went back home and to bed!
Yeah, not like me at all!
Well,I am known for my sleeping:
Any place
Any time
In any position!
You would be amazed what I have been known to sleep through.
Of course today is dialysis,
So, 6AM at the kidney center,
11AM bac home,
Eat some lunch
Then lay down for a few hours!
But I have to get appointments for me and the car.
This ought to be fun!
My cardiologist is impossible to schedule!
His p[lanner makes appointments without talking to you
Then gets pissed off if you are not available at her scheduled times!
sigh
It is just amazing at what local medicine has become with this COVID stupidity!
Theory X people have reappeared from the woodwork!
Waiting to get slapped down again,
Just as they were at the end of the 1990's!
Be nicer when the problem finally goes away for good!
