The first was to the Dr. that knocks you out. They are wondering how Big of a Hammer to use on me. Then another EKG and a Chest X-Rays did I say wait. Hey I got all day so I’m good. We had great service at Hines VA Hospital and I can say first hand this VA Hospital puts Veterans First !!! I did hear some complaining but some people are Never Happy !!! Well my appt. lasted Two hours as they crossed the T’s and dotted the I’s.

Then on up to see the Dentist. Man O Man I’m scared of them too. I failed at the X-Rays too. The girls in the clinic are the best too, as they dealt with me.Dentist said well there is a lot to do in my mouth. I told him of our Winter Plans, to that he responded the teeth will wait. They said I should schedule a cleaning OK. Now catch this one Tech  say’z I’ll get him now. Woo That my friend is service !!! Well to top that off the Lady was a fellow RVer.

WOW not Again

Well last Thursday was a bummer. I started out the day doing nothing. Ok I thought let’s get ready for Solar on the RV. I got the ladder out and climbed to the roof to check spacing of panels. Things looked good as we want two big panels up there.

Ok off the roof and back in the house, well I started dinner cooking that was. I started getting the Pain in my arm O O. Felt like the Heart Attack pain not good. I took an Aspirin well that didn’t help. I tried waiting and relaxing, nothing. Marti said maybe we should go to the hospital. I agreed and we went off to the Hospital, they asked what was bothering me.I said Heart Attack. Wow I was in a wheel chair and off to the ER.

I couldn’t have had any better help !!! The crew was all over me, I am so Thankful for the Crew at St. James Hospital they are the Best. I’m Happy to say No Heart Attack !!! I stayed over night followed by a sleepless night. My blood was tested a bunch of times, I started to think I was a Pin Cushion.

I had a Stress Test  Friday and by 7:00 PM I was  on my way home. A quick dinner and off to bed for 12 hours. Wow I told you I was tired. Well I have to take it easy for a couple days so I have updated my blog. Tomorrow I have to go to the VA for some more tests, o’crap I better go study.

I’m Thankful for my family all three of them and the fine people at St James Hospital

OK now you know what I know

We made a pit stop on the way home from Michigan Rally. we stopped to see friends Joann and Jim from Michigan. They have become Full Timers as in their RV is their home. They homestead Sunny Brook RV park in South Haven Michigan and Texas in the winter. The park is really nice too, I always think it would be nice to have a home base. Well I guess we do here at Soaker Farm with free rent.
