    You the one who works at Utility?

    Question for ya,

    When painting the trailers are they primed with an etching primer first? How is the aluminum treated prior to painting?

    If a primer is used, got a part number?

    How about a color code for the white paint?

    Don, believe it or not there is more than one shade of white so keep your comments to yourself [8D]

    Thanks for asking.

    I've just been laying low.

    I've been feeling pretty crappy lately. Easily out of breath, Oxygen starved, fatigued, no energy, stamina etc.

    Work has been an ordeal every single day. I've just been trying to make it through them.

    I've no additional info for you, on when my procedure will be.

    That is all on me, as I've been apprehensive to contact my Cardilogist/Thoracic surgeon because I know the next step will be to schedule my Mitral valve replacement.

    Yeah, I know stupid.

    I've gone through it once, in 2005. It was a pretty major ordeal. I'm not looking forward to going through it again.

    I'm hopeful they will be able to do a Cath insertion, new Valve roll out. (That a couple Members here clued me in to.) That would be best case scenario. Since my Valve has already been worked on with a Gore-Tex "door frame," I'm not sure that will be possible.

    It's on my list of things I need to do. [^]

    I feel your pain...

    I have to start making calls Monday

    The home nursing program - supervisor has discharged me from their care as of Friday

    Weeks ahead of schedule and they were only out once every 7-10 days for a brief 30 minute assessment

    But the next step is to sign up for and start the intensive physical therapy program - inpatient locally at a brand new high tech office in the same complex as my primary care doc and my surgeon and the imaging lab...

    I am told that the sessions will be unpleasant and painful and leave me exhausted - that they will push me

    I need to do it - but am apprehensive.

    We both need to make the calls and schedule the treatments.

    I don't expect you to die or have complications from your surgery.

    I expect that it will be unpleasant - and cause pain - and you will need a recovery period...

    But I / we believe you will get through it with flying colors and that your health and life and ability and stamina and outlook will improve...

    You got this covered - your strong and determined.

    And you don't need us to remind you that the longer you put it off the worse things will get.

    Will you have to stay in the hospital / how long do they anticipate you will be in the hospital???

    Who will take care of the dog???

    As long as you have a WI-Fi signal and your phone or a laptop we will be here to talk or distract or listen.

    Mike



    Thanks Mike.

    I know I've got this.

    (Been through it before and kicked it's A**.)

    Believe it or not, "Who is going to take care of my dog?" Has been my biggest obstacle/concern, and reason I have not proceeded.


    I do know though, I need to move on this.

    Thanks all.

    I've just been being hard headed.

    Nothing new there. I've always tackled things on my own terms.

    One of the hardest things for me has been letting Makaila help...

    Not just help but be involved in decisions.

    I too have always tackled things on my own - on my own terms - been my own advocate...

    For god's sake she's a trained health care proffesional and accomplished nurse - you would think I would be happy to let her help make decisions or allow her to care for me...

    I am just stubborn and recalcitrant and contrary.

    Both girls mostly let me be - let me handle my own business - but do help when I allow it or need it.

    Just as long as you know we are in your corner and pulling for you and have your back...

    Most of us anyway.

    Mike




    Thanks Mike.

    I'm well aware of the "most of you."

    I appreciate it very much.

    Thank you Kimi.

    I appreciate all of the good wishes.

    I'm good. [:D]


    As Hillbille has stated, "my issues do not hold a candle to some here."

    I'd agree with that.

    My Prayers go out daily/nightly to about 5 or so of our Members here. I count myself lucky.
