Just an update for all concerned

[1olbull]

Hi Steve and all fellow enthusiasts - update required? Okay, well nothing much has changed since the last posting about throat stretching. That has worked quite well and so far, no evidence of it shrinking. Saliva production is still limited BUT is improving very very slowly! Patience is the order of the day on this one. As for the latest check up (last week) this was merely a telephone call (due to covid etc) to check on progress. Next full check up and tests is on 29th April. A full day on the scanners, being made radioactive again, blood tests etc. This will be the15 month check up after treatment and if clear, points the way to being cured. Any recurrence or change, spread of the condition normally shows up in the first 9months but they hold out for the longer period of 15 months. Fingers crossed and all that crap!!
So while you lot are roaring around the country side, eating, drinking, and making merry I'll be short of blood, full of holes, and radioactive!! 👍👍👍👍🍾🍾🍾🥂🍻

Perhaps, send a photo of you glowing in the dark?

[Grumpy Old Codger]

my son asked if I could stand at the top of the stairs and act as a night light for his children. Had to refuse on health and safety grounds

[Old N’ Grumpy]

God bless you.

How often do we have to tell you? Just because it glows red does not mean it's family safe. I shall have to speak with SWMBO. Yes her! the the Gin Smeller Persuivant.

Glad you are doing well. Sorry I didn't see this especially if I'm just laying around here doing nothing.
I can't wait till this is over fucking hospital food is many times worst then the food we used to serve at the prisons.

[Grumpy Old Codger]

WOW!!! Get well soon my friend. You need the sympathy and thoughts of the good people on this forum far more than I do.

[1olbull]

What's happening, Amigo?
Your Barba tis looking Bueno!

[barbagris]

So make a shank, stab somebody and get a transfer to the better food!.

[Tripps]

You're in the hospital again?

[Old N’ Grumpy]

What happened???

[Tripps]

He thinks he needs some heart rotorooting.

[EasTexOutlaw]

Really? Well, prayers up Scott

[Mighty Mouse]

I'm ashamed. Every time grumpy Ole Codger mentions throat stretching I get a twinge down in man land. 😉

[Tripps]

Well, he is from California always keep that in mind

[barbagris]

Mrs GOC has usually scraped the breakfast cardigan clean by the time he's allowed into society.

[Grumpy Old Codger]

Not always, I have found an escape route..

[Mighty Mouse]

I thought this was a non judgement zone. I'm straight but throat stretching? (Shit, there it goes again)

[Tripps]

We are judgemental motherfuckers, don't ever forget that.

[Dr.D]

Warp did you have an accident? Covid got you?

[Old N’ Grumpy]

Something with his heart. He tells a little about it on the other site.

[Dr.D]

Yes I finally saw it, glad he is home and doing better.

Please tell Warpo when is able,
to haul his ass over here and do some 'splaining.

[Old N’ Grumpy]

I will do that.

[Warp9.9]

And he did. Of course it took some time to sink in. I had another event and thought I'd get the doctor's to look at it. Called insurance found a place in network. Went in to the walk in and well next thing you know after all them preliminary basic (non proctological test I might add) test. I was on a gurnee riding across the parking lot as quick as they could travel. I could have walked but not at that speed and not with one of them little shopping carts that double as a undercover walker.
cold wet sweating . After 3 nitro pills within the proper time you 1 wait 2 wait and 3. I was geeling a little better then the ambulance showed up to transport me to a larger hospital. Pretty much felt like a electricution followed followed by the sweat chest pain anginia I might have been able to take 4 or 5 steps before I would be on the deck really feeling bad. Any long story lots of different test and when they did the echocardiogram they found one part of my heart was not beating as fast as the other! So the next day they went up a artery in my arm right after the wrist with a catheter of course I manned up and was conscious thru the whole ordeal. Fentanyl its amazing. So it looked like he pulled a 3 foot tape worm out of my arm and decided to go not further. It seems I have a heart defect while I was in the oven. And some of my heart muscle grew over one of the aortic ateries. Its supposed be be on the out side but it more like in the wall. This I called intramyocardial aortic bridge. So basically you tur on the hose at your house with a sprinkler on it and the quickly back over and back on the garden hose. So the heart muscle flexes and the aortic atery gets kinked off and on. Not to good it cuts down on that red stuff flowing around and well my brain is already in ruff shape so it doesn't like tje lack of oxygen thing going on there. So the for starter the basturds are killing me with the heart healthy diet shit. Its worse then prison food. Got to do some cardiac rehab and meat with a specialist. And see if I'm a candidate for surgical inovation or if my insurance company is going to write me off as past warranty fase. I hope they have a update kit thats better then the one Joey had. It was unusual but he did leave a sten in thru the section in the heart wall. Its like the dilithium crystals are not in alignment but I'm still here the doctor said in case I didn't know it I'm a old fart. She was pretty so I overlooked her errors

[barbagris]

There is a definite PLOT here - This pretty Doctor - Nurse - and now even Lawyers - thing. But basically you need some big bore pipes and a blower.

[EasTexOutlaw]

Oh I know the hard part for you will be be laying off the good cholesterol laden food that you cook so well. It’s tough but it can be done. I’ve put myself through many rounds of dieting off the fat ass version of myself. Make all those healthy foods using lots of spices, that makes it tolerable 🥺
As tough as you are you’ll get through this too as you have all your other “setbacks”
I’ll be praying for a quick recovery brother!

[BREEZE]

and all this time I didnt even think you had a heart glad you found the trouble,and it all works out for the good you have way to much knowledge and helped to many people out to go anyplace and I heard you are a pretty good person to boot

[Warp9.9]

Thanks guys! I can not explain why. I should have had myself looked at hard a while ago. I truly believe it should be a warranty recall. If I was still in the hospital I'd have them sweeties scratching my back by now. Lordy they lined up to shave my groins All I got left is a mohawk

[Mighty Mouse]

I'm certain they called it a landing strip. A very, very short landing strip. 😁

[Dr.D]

I am very surprised to hear of your heart issues. You have always seemed so spry and energetic. I glad to see that you are getting the help you need.
