Home!!!
Finally arrived back home, vacations are great but spending them in the Hospital while feeling crapy is not my idea of the "perfect vacation"
Not feeling quite so crappy now and I would like to thank my sister Linda for relaying to everyone what was going on. I could read the comments but could not post and would like to thank you all for your kind words and prayers.
Just waiting for the home nurse to come so she can show me the portable machine that keeps me full of stinky penicillin. I will take stinky pee over messed up heart any day though.
Got a lot of things to do so I will try to do them in no particular order or speed. I will try to post soon with the gory medical details of what happened over the last week.
Thanks again everyone............Chris
Follow-up
Well the blood test results came in, showed mostly normal except for two of thhe tests. Doc wants to rule in or out whatever he thinks is going on so I have to have another round of the vampires sucking out my lifeforce! Also I get to be bombarded by yet more radiation. He wants a chest x-ray.
I told him tonight that at least I am not depressed over all this and I still feel okay. Well my body does not feel okay but my mind does. Do not know how long I will feellike this before I start feeling both crapy in the body and mind.

About 10 months after 911 my youngest daughter (7 years old) had to go for a two week drum course at the collective school of music in New York. I did not want to stay in a hotel so I rented an apartment on the Lower East Side. I think out of all my trips this was the only one I really felt like I was like everyone else.

4) 1998 Nissan Wingroad Station Wagon Replace my Daihatsu Charade in February 2005. Another great car, the main problem is I have little experience with fuel injection systems. But I have started to tinker with it now!
I have had about 2 or 3 more cars as well but……….
Thanks again.
Thanks every one for all your kind words, I felt a little better today but now I have caught a cold. This thing I am fighting is not the flu, Flu like symptoms but it is not the flu. Managing to go to work everyday but the only way I can make it thru the day is by keeping Mr. Tylenol in business!
Went back to the doctor a week ago and he ordered up a bunch of blood work. The last results should come in tommorow, so maybe he will have a better idea on what is going on with me. I hate feeling like this, slow and slugish, hot and cold, maybe it's the male version of the change of life!
Early Morning Picture Time
Decided to take some pictures at work this Morning.
All I have to use is a old 3.1 megapixel kodak. But
it has a great feature, Time exposure. These are all
shot at between 1.5 and 2 seconds.
I like these two shots, I call em squiggs. Top one reminds
me of ice cream sundays
Top Loader and Reach Stacker loading "cans" 20 foot
Containers onto our trailers
One of our company trucks, how i got to shake in a V pattern
is beyound me but I like the effect!
In Memoriam:Ramona Bell
I am a big Coast to Coast AM fan, Art bell has hosted the most popular late night talk show for a long time. George Noorey had taken over the show with Art doing weekends. Recently Art has been doing just a couple of Sundays a month. His most recent show was his December 30th and December 31st prediction special, in which callers would make their predictions for the upcoming year. One caller made a prediction about Art and his family, at first to me it sounded very negative then he seemed to turn it around so it would be more upbeat...................
I turned the monitor on this morning, moved the mouse and woke up the computer, I went to see what was on
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/ and was shocked to see this
In Memoriam:
Ramona Bell
Art Bell's beloved wife of fifteen years, Ramona, died unexpectedly last night after an asthma attack. At present, the exact cause of Mrs. Bell's death has not been determined. It apparently took place during her sleep.
Until her death, Art and Ramona Bell had not been apart a day since they were married. Mrs. Bell had suffered from asthma for years, and took her normal steps to control the attack, which occurred sometime last night in Laughlin, Nevada where the Bells were taking a brief vacation. Ramona Bell was 47 years old.
Our deepest condolences to Art and his family. Damm!!!
