Today [6]

[Hopalong X]

I'm better than last Thursday.

My pain has been at kidney level. So they did some tests today. They did chest x-ray, blood work and urine test.
Checking for pneumonia or kidney infection.

Jusy got a call from doctors office like 5 minutes ago. No apparent pneumonia on x-ray.
No apparent kidney infection.
Maybe kidney stones.
So ultra sound in the morning to check that.

They put me on an antibiotic anyway just as a precaution with my heart problems.
Levaquin. That is the one you hear about they pass out to everyone during the anthrax attacks here in the States.

So if it is Anthrax I'm cured. LOL

It still could be infection just not showing up. They did a CBC to check for elevated white cell count. It wasn't.
Mine never elevates much when I'm really bad sick. So that is not much help for diagnosis on me.
I told the nurse on the phone if mine were elevated then there would be something to worry about.

So anyway I'm hanging in there.
Take my antibiotic and drink lots of water to flush the kidney stones or bacteria out.

Mike,
Good to hear you are under good care. With all the test they ran you didn't mention the pregnancy test. Did the rabbit live?
Who's taking care of Topper while you are under doctor's care or are you both seeing the same Vet? hehehe just a little humor for my sick friend.

That's what neighbors are for Jim!!

 

[jfar]

Yes Tom, but you know yourself, some neighbours can sometimes come out with the biggest load of rubbISH, when you do not want them to.

 

[DocBrown]

Jim + Nabors :roflmao::haha:

 

[Hopalong X]

Thanks LPt, Carl and Dennis.

We will be fine. Just painful in the mean time.

Found my gambling winnings from my account today. Angie is back home tomorrow, so she gets a nice evening out with wining and dining as promised this weekend.

It's nice to take her out nowadays when I have a valid excuse not to dance...

Hey Boo,
How and Where do I sign up to be one of the tester's and taster's?
Kari can't or shouldn't be allowed as he is on medication that prohibits alcohol.
Especially the blood thinner meds.
I have thick Irish blood so would be a great candidate for this test.

Enjoy the evening. I can relate to the dancing thing. I am not a dancer either.

Today I was having an exam at the faculty

I hope you did well!

dennis I believe Mr McKay has finished it already , at Christmas

 

[Kari]

That would be a dream come true to be able to taste that whisky. The oldest in my bar at the moment is a bottle of 30 year old Talisker, a nice single malt from the Isle of Skye.

Dennis, blood thinning operation is why I need whisky... The more whisky in my veins, the less blood?
