I am about to whine. Go past if you don't want to hear it.
Let's see, cancer 3x, check; mini stroke, check; irregualr heart beat, check.
So, my mammogram last week showed \"something\", I needed a biopsy. I won't describe the procedure as it isn't the usual biopsy and would make guys squeemish. I haven't gotten the results yet, but next day woke up with a terrible back ache. As it was Saturday, I had to wait to go to the doctor. Went today and he took one look at me and said it's not your back, YOU HAVE A MAJOR CASE OF SHINGLES. The back ache was the virus affecting the nerve endings.

Then while spooning instant coffee into a cup I hit my arm and the coffee went all over the floor. I cleaned that up. While carrying my bowl of cereal and cup of coffee to the table I started to spill the coffee and as I was concentrating on that I spilled the cereal and milk.

Metric people, just try to follow along.
I always buy a half-gallon of orange juice for my breakfast. While sitting in my usual groggy state the other morning I really looked at the carton. It says \"59 ounces\" When did a half-gallon (64 ounces) become 59 ounces? Is it the same way a 7 ounce can of tuna fish became 5 ounces? I guess next a gallon of milk (128 ounces) will become 122 ounces. Manufacturers must bekieve we are all stupid and never read labels.

He immediately sent me to the emergency room. I was admitted to the hospital. Here is how my stay went.
Thursday 6am--someone grabbed my foot and yelled \"wake up\". I came up with a jolt. Turns out the woman in the bed next to me had gone \"CODE BLUE\". This was a small room with a lot of equipment as it was in cardiac intensive care. So some of the 15 people had to climb over me to work on her and I couldn't get out of the room. She didn't make it. Next we had a man running around screaming that this was his house and his property and he wanted us all out or he was getting his gun and calling the police.
They put a 94 year old woman in with me and she ripped open the curtains at 2am crying because this was not her house. They had a bed alarm on her and the rest of the night was spent listening to it go off.
Next, we had an elderly man running the halls naked. Then this am there was a woman in the room next door crying non stop \"I'm thirsty\". When a doctor came in I told him to get me out of this place and let me go home where I could have a heart attack in peace and quiet.
And this is the most highly rated hospital in the area. I don't know how the nurses can deal.","comments":"https:\/\/pclu2004.livejournal.com\/104034.html?view=comments#comments"},{"guid":"https:\/\/pclu2004.livejournal.com\/103925.html","pubDate":"Sun, 06 Jul 2014 19:24:58 GMT","title":"LIONS AND TIGERS ETC.","author":"pclu2004","link":"https:\/\/pclu2004.livejournal.com\/103925.html","description":"Well, the black bears are back.
