Time has come

 Well with the heart cath out of the way and a visit to my Cardiologist visit , I'm happy to report that everything is ok.  He did say tha one artery had 45% blockage, but the standard procedure is they will not do anything until it gets to 75% blocked. 

I'm still watching the NCAA Tournament and there has been much exciting times with the upsets along the way.

I've been going to the storage yard where the motorhome is stored to do some needed repairs as we are going to be traveling again this summer.  As they say "all good things come to an end" this does look like the last trip in the motor home.

I have read the you will know when it is time to hang up the keys and that time has come for me.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Vicki was here

 Nancy is not feeling well these days as her constant headache is still with her.   Because of her faiing kidney she has to be careful of what pain medicine she takes.\

I'm doing about as good as an old fella is suppose to be, I guess.

I will be 84 next month and I just do not know how a person is suppose to feel at that age.

                                                                 

I still eat good "real good".   Like each morning I start off with a cup of coffee, then sausage, egg croissant with Hungarian Pepper, tomato and a few tater tot's.

I've been keeping myself busy with watching the NCAA sectional tournaments and really enjoying it.

I took Vicki our daughter to the St Pete Airport to catch a plane back to Lexington Kentucky.

She has been here for a couple of weeks to help us while I was on the recuperating from the heart cath.

Thanks Vicki for being here, your Mom and I enjoyed having you here visiting us very much.

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.  

 

Heart Cath

Not much as usual has been going on.

I did have the heart cath on this passed Wednesday and everything looks good,

Although the Artery has 45 percent blockage doctors will not do anything until it goes to 75 percent before they will clear it out.  So in the meantime the report on the all is ok.

That is the report also on the heart valves all looks good, no problem.

I'm a little sore on the groin incision but other wise doing good as expected.

As I have mentioned before this is a good time of year for me, with the NCAA Basketball Tournaments going on.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Small Park

 As usual I'm still into the college basketball games with not many games until the big tournament.

Nancy is doing a little better but still very weak.  She pushes herself to do some work but tires very easy. 

I guess we are getting old but, that should not be any reason for getting so tired as we do.

                                                     

I did get out the other day to see some of the Gulf water at a small park behind the Walmart store where I did a little shopping.

                                                    

It sure did feel good with the spring type breeze coming off the water.

It is so soothing to look out upon the waters.

It doesn't need to be an ocean, it can be a river, or lake even a small creek with a waterfall.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

           

Happy Valentine's Day

 Yes its that time of year did you remember to get you loved one a box of candy or some flowers.

If you go to any of the stores I don't see how anyone could forget to by anything with the way they have the flowers and candy stacked up right in the door as you enter.

I do hope you have a wonderful day with that special person.

Well , I now know when I'm scheduled to go into the hospital for my cath.  It will be on March 2 and if the Doc finds anything he will go ahead and take care of it while he is in there looking it all over.

I'm still all caught up on my College Basketball games with most of the teams having just six more games before the Tournaments.

I'm still doing a few things around the house plus now since Nancy isn't feeling well I have her few things to take care of.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Mostly Doctor appointments

I still have not heard anything from my Cardiologist when he is going to do the catheterization procedure.

When I left the office the only thing they said was that it would be on a Wednesday or Friday and they would call and let me know. 

I guess I may have to call them, sometimes that happens with doctors.

                                                                 

Nancy had us some pinto beans with onions and slaw the other day .  She always leaves it up to me do do the slaw.

I did get around to repair the leaking faucets in the bathtub.  I put the new nobs and the trim on.

I'm still going up to the storage place where we have the motor home to do small things in it.

The solar that I have its the batteries fully charged.

Nancy had a fall in the house the other day that gave her a few bruises.  So I guess she will be sore for a while.

Still keeping up with the college basketball games for a season the has a new number one every now and then.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

              

 

Cardiologist Report.

                                                                  

Monday I when to see my Cardiologist to see what all my blood work and the rest of the things I had showed up anything.  The doctor said that it looked like there is a restriction in the blood flow and that he would have to do a catheterization procedure to see what its all about.

Now I'll have to wait until I get a call on when to go into the hospital to have it done.

I'm in hopes that will up me not to get so tired after I do a little work time.  Its no fun taking two days of work to do one day of work.

Anyway everything on the college basketball front is looking good.  Still a lot of upsets going on. 

                                                                 

This caught my eye at the Walmart store the other day.

I guess it depends on what side you get the green pepper is what you have to pay.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Nasty Weather

 Woah Nellie, I was up at 4:50 am this morning due to rain and wind, lots of that stuff and I did not go back to sleep.  That lasted until a little after 9:00 am.

So after breakfast we turn on the tv and the weather guy was reporting about the tornado action in southern Florida.  The thing was that water spouts were forming out in the gulf and forming the tornadoes

when hitting land.  

Tornadoes were doing a lot of damage and one destroyed a trailer park close to Fort Myers area.

Right now we have a temperature of 67* and sunny with low winds.

Wherever you are located please stay safe.

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

 

Getting along

 About the same old grind here but that's the way life is when you get to a certain age.  Not complaining just saying you know what I mean.

Well my time of the year has got off to a good start with the basketball season in full swing and I have to say some of the games have been very exciting.  

Staying at the number one this season of the college basketball rankings is difficult.  Teams that are not ranks are knocking off some of the top ranked teams.

                                                                 

I did finally find time to put a few ribeye steaks on to grill the other day and they turned out pretty good. 

Our weather has turned a bit cool for the nights with the temperature getting in the middle 50's but the day time going up in the 70's so no complaint on the point.

Also I'm slowly--very slowly-- taking care of a few problems with the motor home.

With getting older things seem to take a little longer getting finished, of course going to be 84 in a couple of months may be the reason.   Why doesn't 84 seems as old as when you were in your 30's?

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day. 
  

Getting around

 I guess a lot of people made their New Years resolutions that they will not keep for long. 

I would say there are a lot that will try to go on that diet one more time promising that this time they will stick to it, then failing to do so again.

Nancy and I never have as far as I know made any promises to ourselves as I know of?    We just do as we do.

 We started the New Year right where we left off on the old year with Nancy getting blood drawn for the Nephrologist to keep a check on her.

As for me I have an appointment tomorrow to have an carotid ultrasound for the Cardiologist to see how that part of me is doing.

Yesterday I got into my pattern for the new year by going to a few places.

First up was to Publix to get a few Hungarian Peppers with Publix being the only place to sale them.

The next stop was to pick up Nancy's medication from Walgreens which the Nephrologist called in.

Next was number 3 to "HSN" which i the Home Shopping Network discount store where they have large discounts of leftover and return items.  Like the small two quart air-fryer I bought for Nancy that sold online for $49.95, my price was $13.49. Did not find anything this time

Next stop number 4 Dollar Tree That is going to have to change the store to $1.25 Store, where I picked up as few items. 

Number 5 was Walmart for a few groceries.

The last one was The Salvation Army Store to mostly just to look around without buying anything.

Thaks for stopping by and have a great day.

Anniversary # 65

Yeah, that is not a  typeO.  Nancy and I have been married that long and lasting through the tuff time and good times, we are more in love each day.

We will be staying home this evening instead of going out for dinner, because Nancy hasn't been feeling very well for the last week.  So I think we will get a meal "to go" from Bob Evans.

Also later on in the evening I will be making Cabbage Rolls for tomorrow's meal.  

As you celebrate New Years Eve today and night please be careful.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
