The range of temps is large. So far, for me, -29 to 119°. 119 degrees in Nebraska? Does not seem possible. That's Death Valley temperatures. |

On this day in 1969 I paused on the way out the door to listen to some guy somewhere say Houston. It was kind of a big deal.

It's supposed to shrink her liver to make the surgery easier. Doctor seems to know his stuff. He does about 7 of these a week and has only glowing reviews. |

Prayers to the wifey, Ron.
But I figure all will go well without a hiccup. Him who upholds all things, knows that Ron needs seeing on… so there is a providential orchestrator tapping the shoulder of The Missus to keep you in check!

Are Smoothies OK or must it be thin liquids like juice and clear soups? |

After just clear liquid for 10 days, then just liquid for 5 weeks I think. |

That's what I thought, but the pros insist that she won't want to eat, that she will have to force herself to take food. But I am worried about it for sure. |

One other mention of my doc that I forgot to include earlier. I thought it was mildly humorous. I told him I could no longer have red wine for supper as the diuretic effect caused me to get up three or four times at night to pee. His response? “Have it at lunch.”

One time I missed my Drs appointment because my Catahoula chewed a plastic water line and had to call a plumber. Rescheduled and Dr asked Bradley why did you miss your appointment, told him my Crazy Catahoula chewed my water line, he turned to the wife and said Miss Billie he has a crazy Dog, Doc she says he made that dog crazy, he halfway turned and had a big smile on his face!!

That doctor was so old he prescribed Cognac for Dad's angina. Seriously. |

Had a pretty decent day today, at least it was a break from the killer heat. We had rain this morning, a slight mist that never hit the ground. Sigh. it was only 85 at 2pm.

On this day in 1969 I paused on the way out the door to listen to some guy somewhere say Houston. It was kind of a big deal. Yea it was a big deal, 6 years old and watching it on the TV, I'm not that old, but it seems to be a century ago compared to all the changes at that moment in time. Wow, this makes me a bit sad, and at the same time, it makes me happy with all the great things that have come about in this moment to help humanity in general, What a Great time in history, and what a Sad time at this moment. God Please Help Us All. P.S. some of us want to live in the past, maybe because we lived in a safe environment, that maybe we thought was safe, and It brought us comfort, think Dr Grabow days, Yea I'm daff, but I speak the truth. Pay no mind to the man behind the curtain, He may be a bit drunk, and a bit nostalgic. |
