Good news, Dr Ney's office called
to give me the Date of October 7th for my slice and dice. That gives
me plenty of time to lose the 16 lbs I need to lose. Plus
works best for all concerns schedule. My daughter won't miss
much at the salon, because my wife will not be able to watch
the baby on Saturday. ( although I don't know why not, cause I can
keep myself amused at the hospital the day after surgery. Michael
will only miss two days out of his schedule to open his new business
. I will be able to come back Monday or Tuesday, where
as the Doc say 2 weeks ( foolish mortal) . They are sending me a
packet with info about pre and post surgery stuff. So for any of you
guys possibly facing this and not to this stage of info. I will let
you know.
If you recall an earlier post I
spoke of a friend in Oklahoma who was waiting on a biopsy.
Well his results are back and he has it too. The difference in
treatment options is amazing between private care and the VA. I was
in the doctor the next day to discuss my options. My friend was told
that his appointment is not till Aug. 23rd to discuss his
surgery ( not his options). Apparently the VA also does not
pay for all the surgery.

Nothing new to report, Haven't
discovered a magic leaf yet. I only need to drop 10 more lbs to meet
Dr Ney's goal set for the surgery. I have an appointment on Friday
at the heart hospital. They are trying get my Blood pressure to
level out before the slice and dice day. One reading will be
145 over 95 and a few minutes later it is 88 over 55.
Well we will see what the hell kills me 1st. I'm on duty tomorrow
serving warrants and such. Luck to all I will give you more
when I got it.

Attempted to play at boy today.
I made it thru the 1st warrant by pure guts. I had to excuse
myself after that because I was endangering my team members. Nothing
worse than yelling "Police let me see your hands" while the room is
swimming in circles. Went home and took a nap for the 1st time
in my life since I was in diapers. If I do not improve soon I will
have to pull myself from duty or I'm going to get someone hurt.
Nothing new from the doctors they are all on a hold pattern
until the rest of the tests are done and keep messin with my
medications. Blah- Blah- Blah. Luck to all! Enjoy your
family, life is too short to stress the little crap.

Still working on losing the
last 10lbs that the surgeons want me too get rid of before surgery.
I have been at this level for about a week and a half and just don't
seem to be able to fall over the hump. I had my appointment
with the cardiologists. Yep you guessed it "More figgin tests" They
can't figure out why my pressure won't stabilize. They know this is
causing me to be dizzy when I stand up or bend over. They
aren't sure why I'm tired all the time or have no energy. I
attempted to drive to a location 90 miles away. Didn't make it, the
boss had to take over and I felt like I was beat to hell when we got
there. In fact fell asleep a couple of times while sitting at the
Black jack tables. I guess I scared the hell out of the dealer and
they had an on staff EMT come over. So Now I limit myself to
driving to and from work and had myself put on sick leave from
Police Boy work. Trying to keep positive about it all, but I'm
gettin real sick of being sick.
(whine, whine, whine). I still can
enjoy my grand daughters more matter how bad or low I feel the
little monsters make me feel better.
My friend in Oklahoma is
schedules for surgery the same week as myself. He is attempting to
get his moved up because he is put his name in for a transfer to
Hawaii ( damn now what a place to recover!). Well luck to all
If I learn anything new or want to whine some more I will post for
you.
