Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

Thanks all for the eclipse pictures.
Not a pleasant morning at doctors office. Blood pressure had sky rocketed. Several test and blood draws. Appointment with Cardiologist tomorrow. Never had problems before. I guess getting to be 75 has its rewards.

Good luck, Ron. Hope all turns out well.

I just turned 78 and have an appointment Tuesday for a "wellness visit" as Medicare calls a general physical.

But tomorrow I have to get my wife to the surgery center at 11 a.m. for the doctors to implant a neurostimulation system. They ran the test system a month or so ago, so now she gets the permanent one. If anyone would like to know what that is, here's the website of the equipment provider.

Amazon gets $106.45 for one, but J&B Tool Sales sells 'em for $97.32 shipped with no tax, so that's where I ordered mine. I'll let you guys know how it works out. The 6V battery on the Trail 90 hasn't seen a charger for several months, and should be a good candidate for the revive from the dead routine.

Tried to order a 2365 lcd from JBtools this morning. Out of stock. So I ordered from the other Amazon seller for $106.

Bird- Good luck to both you and your wife. I hope the implant procedure goes smoothly and your wife can soon begin to live life again without pain.

Prayers for your wife.
Our doctor will only do 1 Wellness a day. Because all the paper work that is required. So we have to make 2 appointments on different days to get ours done. Hope yours goes well.

Prayers for all in need. And thanks for the prayers for me.

Sorry to hear of the BP issues, I use to have a real case of white coat HBP, not much anymore, I’d catch myself getting tensed up because I knew it would be high, so it was. Several times after a few minutes the doctor would check it and it would be way down. Losing 55 lbs over the last year has helped mine more than anything.

My BP also can be high, then 5 min later normal.

I sure wish I had the will power to lose 55 or 60 pounds. What method did you use to do that?

Randy- Congratulations on the weight loss. It's not easy. I should lose about the same amount myself. I could easily if I made only a couple of changes in diet and lifestyle. Wifey and I are working on that.

Ate fewer calories than I burned.:laughing:

Actually cutting out junk at night did me more good than anything, cutting the amount on my plate, which is self fulfilling, the less you eat, the more you lose and the quicker you get full.
