Gotta knock the front and back yard down before it starts raining. Gonna use the diesel salad shooter and make quick work outta it. 60" beats 42" when it comes to time.

Big, I was 125 pounds coming outta high school. Took one year of tending a plastering crew to bulk me up to 154. Not an ounce of fat, either. About the time I hit 36, I got over the no fat thing.

I miss bell bottoms. Wish they were still being mass produced.

Morning
I know you and I do not always see eye to eye, but I was in the medical field and know a little. If I were you I would not wait any longer if you feel as bad as you say, you could be doing irreversible damage to your body and organs. You need to have another round of blood tests to see if things have gotten worse, (it does happen).
The more time that passes the more damage can be happening.
You can walk into any lab and get tests done if you have decent health insurance. Or if you are a Vet get to the VA. Don't wait.
Again Best of luck, I will not bother you again.

We’re good roster, not heaving today and slept well… I have my blood test scheduled for about three weeks out because the doctor said there’s a cycle that goes on in the body. They were able to tell that I had some sort of event in my body almost 2 years ago by the results of the test that I’ve had in the past. I will call the doctor on Monday if this weekend becomes any more difficult than it has been…

You were a little fellow, I weighed 185 in 10th grade , mostly muscle
The Love handles were my problem never seemed to go away.
When we use to travel people thought I was a famous football player....LOL
Got free car service and a few meals. I must look like someone famous .

Thanks Boo,
Believe it or not , I consider you a Brother and would hate to see you suffer or worse. Hope the Pups are doing OK.
I spent 8hrs in emergency room with mine yesterday, it was so crowded I felt like I was in real human hospital.
Problem is like a real hospital the Vet (pet) hospitals now know how much money they can make pushing as many patients or the ER doctors at a time.
Most of them do not last long before they break and more on.

Leo is sleeping as we speak after a small procedure , should be fine when the drugs are out of his system. Big dogs of his breed are known to be very bad with medical anesthesia

golf time

Roster, I could tell you horror stories about the amount of money that I have spent on Ivan since he’s become part of the pack. It cost more to care for a dog that does a human being and the vets know that. It appears today will be another day of icing my back and putting a heating pad on my belly. I am not used to leading a compromised life and feel miserable and guilty about watching life past me by for the time being. I am fortunate that Ivan is a daddies boy and prefers to be by my side, he’s becoming a real asset and comfort in my life

Have you considered pet insurance for emergency only
Like 50 bucks a month
My Vet just gave us a place she uses for her own dog.
If I had it from the beginning after all we have spent on him, I would say it would have been close with or without insurance so far.
We had costs of 3500, 2000, 1500, and now another 1500. Pet insurance would have been good for what happened to Ivan. Too late now

yeah, both Ivan and I are damaged goods...he's a strong willed dog, very resilient and full of energy...I think he senses I'm not feeling right, he's been laying at my feet for the last week if he's not outside...I gave thought to checking out my garden but just don't feel the love for it today...it may not be long until i'm dark for the first time in 23 years...

Is there a good friend who could tend them for a split ?
Rather than lose the whole batch, but has to be a good one.
That sucks, see how you feel in a day or so.
Remember as much as you will hate it, if it gets to bad go to hospital they do save lives, Ambulance if you must, you may get a guy like I was ....

Feel better , and I will even be saying a prayer for you.

Yard is done. It was shaggy enough that I used the MDD with the rear grass catcher. The 60" would have made a quicker job out of it, but it would have left all sorts of grass clippings behind.
Think I'm gonna toss some Gouda and Swiss cheese in a fondue pot and dip those meatballs I made the other night. Got a friend that makes killer Italian sausage, so I took a pound of it and a pound of ground round, tossed in an egg and some Italian bread crumbs, and cranked up a batch. Taste pretty good, but the cheese always makes things better.

I'm whipped.
