Good Morning Everyone!!
A really pleasant, clear, breezy 46ºF for today’s low temp; a clear and breezy 70ºF presently; probably close to today’s predicted high temp. I saw a really good looking 6 point buck while walking Brogen this morning; luckily for me Brogen did not, but he smelled it. I picked the bush beans and watered the herbs before the sun became too direct. It smells like the Tundra despite the +2 hours of cleaning yesterday will require the services of a “professional” detailer

:embarrassed: It was made very clear that tomorrow is the day for detailing.
Drew- congratulations on the sale of your tractor and for the price you wanted and thanks for sharing the flowers and Randy’s rehab.
Farmer- Nice looking pile
“… Ohio State U. study that finds a statistical link between statin use and Type 2 diabetes.”- Billy My previous PCP and I have been talking about statins for a couple of years. It could really mess with my well maintained blood sugars. Big 10 Football rocks.
“…. To go private rooms would mean cutting capacity in half. The hospital had private rooms.”- BEF I am happy that your self advocacy resulted in a new room and decent roommate. I hope that your progress continues and you return home soon. There is a lot of turnover of patients in rehab facilities. I believe the national average is length of stay is/was ~30 days. Length of stay seems to be a function of insurance coverage for the disabling challenge(s). Unfortunately there is almost as much turnover in the direct care staff. The only way to get a private room in an inpatient rehab facility is to beat up one’s roomie. The single room placement is usually short term; and one gets new meds, a “visit” from a guy like me, and usually a transfer for a 10 day stay in a less desirable facility for “stabilization.”
“…. I started taking CQ10 a few month ago. Do not take statins. But do see less muscle pain”- RonJH I am in no rush to get on statin medication, but I have been taking CoQ10 on the advice of my doctors to address my auto-immune challenges. Those 3D cards amaze me. Thanks for sharing
Rick- I have low tolerance for craziness. Recent and current events reflect craziness on a global scale. The media does not help. I/We have an unused FB account which was helpful in rescuing our St. B’s and nothing else.
RNG- Good luck with the ladder while chimney cleaning.
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers for all especially those dealing with “not the usual” challenges of aging.
