Got up yesterday morning and almost immediately went down like an air raid victim. My wife called Dalilah who got me to the local Hospital where for the rest of the morning they took every medical test known. They even pushed the bed thru the big cylinder, took all kinds of X Rays, etc. In the final anylasis they couldn't anything wrong. At one point I had an appalling incident, I got light headed again and thought that I might even befoul myself and asked the nurse if I could get up and go to the bathroom, she pointed to all the wires and tubes I was connected to and said, "Out of the question!" She returned shortly with a portable doniker on wheels then she and another nurse got me up and backed me into this device. One raised the lid while the other already had the toilet paper in hand. As I sat there I thought, "Lord, what have I done to offend Thee, that you should treat your faithful servant thus?"
Buckles: This is how I felt when I had my stroke. You seem to have come through everything okay. Welcome to the golden years.
Little John: I've been looking for a post from you so I could ask about those 80¢ vouchers that Publix gives you for a hundred pennies. If you took those same 100 pennies to the cashier and bought something, wouldn't they be worth a dollar? Or do they just not accept a hand full of pennies on a purchase?
Chic, odd that you should mention that. My wife and Dalilah constantly complain that I don't drink enough water. Particularly after walking on the tread mill or riding the lawn mower.
I have given birth to EIGHT (count 'em) Kidney Stones over the last thirty years. I have been assisted in this endeavor by four different urologists and one jeweler who offered to make me a necklace at cost.
Room service sounds like it was good, but how was lunch? The golden years aren't for wimps but how fun is it to share the experience with fans world wide? Ole Whitney: I take buckets of change to Publix thanks to our Native American friends at Hard Rock. Between the Seminoles and Publix the natives are ahead but Hard Rock always sends me free play money so I'll come back.
Actually it's a fine little hospital, less than a mile from where we live. The people are very nice. I had my last visits there with my sister in law Bille, Jimmy James and Bill Strong.
The great George Burns told me, "Getting old isn't for sissies. You can't help getting older but you don't have to get old". According to him I was still a kid. A great philosophy that got him to 100. Glad you're better. Bob Momyer

Clearly you must have been pretty
lightheaded to have asked that
last question of the Allmighty
Although the greater part of your
lifetime has past the Lord never
forgets what we may choose to
Now you really have us concerned
Any chance you were dehydrated
Often can cause such symptoms
Keep the humor in all things and things will often time go better than not! Hope that they find NOTHING and that everything goes well. ~frank

Dehydration can be the underlying
cause of a vast array of stuff
It was the primary problem in
my developing my 1 & only kidney
stone long ago which provided me
with an incentive to drink more
It can be the cause of delirium
in some of us seniors by altering
the chemical balance of the
electrolytes in the blood
Although water is the approved
fluid it is not the only choice

By the way Buckles I've heard that
riding lawnmowers can be quite a
hazzard to our mental health
Get a couple of goats
Chic: Stop- you're making me cry.

Water drinker... Only takes one excruciating kidney stone to make you a believer!
Hey Whitey I gather you must have
quite a bit invested in all those
precious stones which would make
that necklace nearly uninsurable
Sounds like the jeweler's portion
might have been the only bargain
Hope we never go through it again
