Good morning!!!!

He also thought I didn't have a stroke but something else, because strokes usually have physical deficits, not widespread confusion, and don't go away overnight.
So he's ordering another brain mri on me in January but said he wasn't worried, clearly I had worked my way out of whatever was bothering me.

My Dad had the same thing - they could not call it a stroke because it was missing some key stroke symptoms, they settled on "transient global amnesia".

Low was 32 just after midnight, got to 59 today.
No pop ups for me but the site freezes sometimes on my iPhone and I have to reboot to get it going again. Not happened on the iPad so far.
Took down Halloween stuff and threw away some mums, for some reason my winter pansies are not thriving like usual. Got the flag back up after all the wind.
Did a little work on the El Camino, very little.
My son in Front Royal just connected to fiber optic, he’s getting close to a GB of download speed, and they tell him when they’re finished local install it will go close to 2! I thought the 210 MB I got the other day was fast.
Ordered a pair of Roku boxes to see what I can do with them. Tired of paying Comcast bills on bedroom TV”s that get used twice a year.
Will check out election results later, not about to watch it all night.

Have a good evening!

Is it amnesia if you post it twice?

My dr who retired told me to call in nov to get with a new Dr. so I called today, and the same practice told me they weren’t taking any more patients, and didn’t want to hear about me being an existing patient for over 20 yrs. said if an emergency, I can make appt with nurse practitioner. They said they are getting new drs joining them in January. I have enough meds till then , but dr always did blood tests to check due to the meds.

Good evening! Shop time was productive! I got all the glued up planks planed down. Only had a problem with one... a big chunk came off the edge. Glued it back on, will see how successful in the morning. Then got all the filler spread on. Sanding will begin tomorrow. I will be missing my 36" drum sander for sure. I sold all of my large stationery woodworking equipment before we moved out here.... a big mistake. I didn't think so at the time.

Here is a pic of the dust collector I made. It worked fantastic! Emptied 1 1/2 full trashcans. Very little, like a dustpan full, escaped onto the shop floor. I am very pleased! I have a new wet / dry vac ordered, twice the power and capacity. For anyone thinking about getting a wet/dry vac DO NOT get a ShopVac brand.... found out they went out of business a few months ago.... a shame. They made a good product.

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

Drew, that's great news! Keep up whatever your doing!

 

[LS Tractor Owner]

BEF, sorry to hear about the Dr's office.... maybe they don't have the files all figured out yet. Hope you can get it straightened out.

I am heading in for a shower, then have a big chunk of homemade brownie with some vanilla ice cream, sit in the recliner, and wait for the results of the election.

I was wondering why it was stalled when I posted quick reply. It was making an extra copy. I deleted duplicate post.

Better get a Jethro sized bowl of brownies and ice cream, it might be a few days until they declare. Unless Sodamo's hopes come true.

Good report Drew, glad you didn't have to wait to vote ...

I headed down to the polling place around 14:00 ... no line, only one guy ahead of me ... but there were two workers at the check-in so no wait at all.

After voting I took The Woman's car over and got the oil changed at Valvoline Instant Oil Change.

Called Woman to see if she needed anything and she reported that all the wildlife was out back grazing.

Came home and noticed the birds have emptied the two sunflower seed tube feeder in just slightly over 24 hours.

Guess word has gotten around ... :laughing:

Woman made more noodles for the stew and more oatmeal-raisin cookies ... :thumbsup:

After dinner settled in to watch coverage of tonight's festivities.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Good evening all. 42F for the start, mostly clear, light breeze. Light wind, moderate gusts, Few high clouds and high temp of 76F. Voting first on agenda, took 3 trips, had signed up for mail ballot and did not realize I had to bring ballot to vote in person, back to house, retrieve ballot return to polling place. Get there wife calls, they messed up paperwork and she has to go back. Retrieve wife and voting goes smoothly. Gopher harassment next, made 3 tbsp castor oil, 1 tbsp dish soap, 1 gal on water. Hard to get mixed but poured in 3 holes gopher pushed some dirt out within 2 hours. Plan to repeat tomorrow. Bike ride, then trip to Sherman, wife needed new threads for wedding, I got solvent and 2 new microsd chips. Then had dinner at Red Lobster, which she really likes.

26 right now...snow showers this morning, then in the upper 40's this afternoon

Been up since midnight due to cramps in my right leg...hurt enough to wake me up. I'm no doctor, but the symptoms are like peripheral artery disease. Think I'd better get this checked out ASAP. My right leg is the one paralyzed when I had my stroke 21 years ago. It's always given me trouble, but not cramping. The good thing is, both legs feel warm...well, I guess that's a good thing.
Getting old is a *****, ain't it...?

 

[Eric Salop]

Good morning, a frosty start to the day, roof slates white over against a pale blue sky.

Roy, hope it proves to be something benign.


Got called into the doc's yesterday to get my second "present" from them for passing 65 - a jab of pneumococcal vaccine. My first and the nurse said my last ever too, unless I happened to loose my spleen, in which case she said she would be happy to stab me every year. She was a very nice nurse - do I really need a spleen ?

I had to answer multiple questions before the unseen receptionist would unlock the door of the almost deserted building. They were tough ones to hear let alone answer. Either she was softly spoken with a lisp, not helped by an intercom that added it's own hisses and crackles, or more likely my tinnitus was just out to have a bit of fun. "Do you have a cough ?", "Have you lost your sense of smell?", "What is the capital of Bolivia ?" (?? she probably didn't ask that last one - mask elastic around hearing aids does wonders for the imagination ).

LS, I am intrigued with your dust collector, is there a fancy vortex swirling gizmo inside ?

 

[Buppies]

Mostly try sulfur in powder form blow in their den he/she will leave

44 high of 64 today clear skies. Have to get one more estimate on wifes car then hopefully get it fixed

Prayers for all prayers for our country

 

[Buppies]

Eric every time I go to the doctor I get stuck with something sharp

 

[Buppies]

Roy if I walk too much my hamstrings get cramps generally at 2:00 in the morning hope nothing serious

 

[riptides]

36 outside this AM. Heading to upper 60's. Looks to be a nice day. May get the lawn mower out.


Just plodding along on the porch front. No real break-neck progress. Sigh....

Hope all have a great day. Be safe.

Buppies, what to say, that's some pricey damage. I had a truck once, called it the deer slayer. Final count was 5 deer. Took 3 hits on one trip. Hence the nickname by the mechanic. I thought that event would total the truck. The insurance thought otherwise. Go figure. Good luck.

good morning all
chilly 34 going all the way up to 64 today in sunshine, should be a very nice day.
waiting on plumber this morning, coming back a second time to fix well pump air tank, which only worked properly for two days
after last time they fiddled with it. Also having a new kitchen faucet put in, replacement almost as cheap as Delta oem cartridge, so decided to just
swap out existing one for same model. Existing one squeaks and leaks, just worn out.

after plumber has gone, heading downtown to run some errands, pick up drycleaning, and then home to mount my weather station on side of garage.
Also need to rehang a downspout that blew off in the winds.
and for sure check in on elections, another close one.

am finding my beard is much tougher now and hair is just starting to grow back on my head. :thumbsup:
Think I'll let my beard grow in for the winter, helps keep me warmer. Comes in white as snow.

Roy, best wishes for a quick improvement.

one of the problems with hitting deer and the resulting cost is that headlights today are so expensive. 650 bucks on my Ram truck, almost 900 on my Avalon.

Good morning folks

30 now high around 49 and mostly sunny today.
Supposed to be in the 60’s for the next several days.

There was some black ice on the roads yesterday morning when I went to pick up groceries, made for a few interesting moments!

Not much for wind today so will be a pick up sticks day. Most of the leaves are off the trees and with the wind the last few days they wound up in the woods.

Enjoy your day everyone
