New Medical Fun & Games

[CZ93X62]

For the past week or so I have been dealing with what I thought was a displaced lens in one of my eyes. I saw the eye doc Tuesday, and the lenses are just fine--that's the good part. What's not known yet is why the whole eye and lid wants to tweak out of alignment. That is being chased down via blood tests and a cranial & orbital MRI at zero-dark-thirty on Monday morning. The truly miserable part of this is the apparent ocular migraines that come and go and prevent sleep--fatigue screws me up something awful. I'll be 69 in a few weeks, and mine was not a gentle lifestyle. We all know why the medicos want MRIs in the Brain Housing Group, too. Nicely enough my physical faculties seem unaffected so far, it's just mizzable when the headaches hit and nausea follows.

I say this to let y'all know that my verbose and opinionated prose might not be as regular and constant until some resolution of this latest Range Rover payment sequence for the MDs is completed. Y'all drive careful, now--ya hear?

Sorry to hear this!
I wish you the best of luck!

Best wishes, Allen, for an accurate diagnosis and painless remedy.

Dangit. I was hoping to hear about more desert adventures and powder burning this summer. So now you need two guns, one for each target.....maybe it isn't all bad?

Really sorry to hear of the challenge Al. As I hope you are well aware, your presence at Winnemucca is sorely missed!!

 

[KeithB]

Get well brother!

 

[Petrol & Powder]

Get well. Hopefully the doctor's Range Rover will be paid off soon.......

 

[Urny]

The challenges of the aging body keep us busy and poorer, do they not? Seems to apply to minds as well.

I pray that diagnosis and treatment are quickly successful.

 

[shuz]

Praying for a great resolution to your eye problem Al.

 

[fiver]

keep us appraised of the situation.... or have Marie drop in.

 

[Missionary]

That sure is a plate full. My God give those doc's wisdom and the solution simple.

CZ; if your Doc hasn't got you on Zofran for the nausea you might suggest it to him/her. Always works for me for ANY kind of nausea.

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

Sorry to read this my friend. Sending Prayers.

Dammit Allen, just dammit. Of course I'm prayin' for you although sometimes I fear I may be on the Good Lord's ignore list.
I thought this whole 10 ft. tall and bullet proof concept was 'sposed to get us to at least our 80's. Good luck sir.

 

[Matt_G]

You're in my thoughts and prayers Allen.

 

[Rick H]

One day at a time. You have my prayers.

Update from Marie (Al's better half)
Al's been hospitalized since Monday, he's doing well, and responding to the meds the docs have given him. He's looking so much better and the affected eyesight issue is resolving. He wanted me to let you all know. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes.

 

[Matt_G]

Thanks for the update Marie!!

 

[462]

Excellent news, Marie.

Hang in there, Allen.

 

[Petrol & Powder]

THANK YOU for the update and best wishes for Al's speedy recovery.
