Thread: what a day

Tweet

got to spend yesterday at the ER
i was laying on the floor doubled up in pain. so i went to urgent care.
they thought it was an appedicitis attack.
after sonar and a CAT scan showed nothing.
it turns out i have a stress induced ulcer.
... after being at the docs for 10 hours.
i got to drive home all jacked up on morphine. (there was no one else to drive)
BTW morphine does not make you feel good.
not one of my best days.
but on the bright side.
i dont need surgery.



i must be getting old.
i have the 3 signs
dont like loud music
have an ulcer
and i have a AAA plus card.

Well, no surgery is a really good thing! Sorry you had to go through such a day, which likely added to the stress that's causing the problems. Need to get that engine reliable so you can go for some long, soothing rides in the high country!!

Glad you don't need surgery. Hope the ulcer mends. I hate going to the Dr's office or the hospital! (maybe it's because I work at one!

Sorry to hear of the troubles Billy.. hope you can mend quickly and get back to the rod!

Oh, and the final sign of getting old is forgetting.. um, what was I going to say ???

i am seriously considering just replacing that engine.

Hey Billy, got to learn to relax a bit!!! Life is far too important to be taken seriously!!!! Sometimes we need a wake up call before we learn to start taking care of ourselves!!!!!!!!!!!

true
in 8 months i
quit my job
sold my house
got engaged
buried my brother
institutionalized my mom
moved three times
totaled a car
cashed in retirement savings to pay for that car
and then got diagnosed with a stress related ulcer.

so now
as a defensive posture
i decided that i dont give a crap about what happens to anything or anybody.
i am at FULL-STOP
the world can take care of itself
i am done.

There ya go, Billy!!!! I get to play with my granddaughters and build Hot Rods, don't really give a hoot about much else!!!!!!

Sounds like a good stop gap measure, Billy.

Find your balance.

Yeah,Billy..Thats not a good eight months..Ya only get one bite at it..Live life as it comes,and try to have fun..But Uncle Dave didnt mention the pain he went through to get his sweet little grand daughters in a good loving home..
Incidentally,Dave..We must be about due on an update,arent we???

Ain't it funny how age catches up with us. No problems until around 50 and then watch out. stress, work,fixing your cars, etc. plays hell with the whole body. Just take it easy for a bit and the ulcer should heal itself. I know because i've been there. Good luck.

Just last night I was sittin on the couch flippin channels thinking about this gettin old chit and how I sure would like to find a ride for this Fridays midget races
. Came across a movie with the "new" Burt Reynolds in it. Got me to thinking maybe this age ain't so bad, At least I can say I'm now better lookin than Burt Reynolds and Kenny Rogers.

my new house
it is real close to the river.


gun room





dinky garage

Well ya got the re-loader set up and we all know that's a step in the right direction! Keep takin' it one day at a time Billy and remember, "the only thing that's the end-of-the-world is the end-of-the-world!"

Any fish in that river? I always find a bad day fishin' is better than a good day workin!!

Take care friend,
Glenn
