Hi gang.......Yes, I'm ready to hear all the I told ya so's and I well deserve them. To those whom have it's me this past week, thank you for listening to my babbling, frustrations :yadayada: and yes even a few cuss words.

I have houseguests . Couldn't exactly say no as I was their only resort. I was told by nephew that it would be for 2 weeks. They arrived on 1-14 so their 2 weeks is up on 1-28 and I'm holding them to it without a doubt. There have some upbeat points to them being being here but for the most part it's been much grief and aggravation as you all warned me it would be.

It has been necessary for me to vocalize (to put it mildly) my frustrations and rules/regulations. I try to focus on being able to help out and the good we're doing but it does stink to be quite honest. I'm not going to recount all of my issues with the 2 of them as I would be here until after they moved out listing them.

I had another health related issue come up. I saw the Cardiologist on 1-15 who I was referred to by my PC. I was impressed with her. On 1-31 I will be having a heart cath done. My Cardio believes there is a blockage which was indicated in the nuclear medicine portion of the stress test I had on 1-24.

Plans are to relieve the blockage during the catch. If this occurs, I will be kept in the hospital overnight for observation. Should anything else be wrong that can't be rectified during the heart cath, we'll discuss the plan of action to take. On the plus side, I really haven't experienced any severe symptoms. I have had here and there some "pressure" but that could be psycho-somatic too (I hope).

When I returned home from the appointment on 1-15, Kristi and I talked about it. Bless her heart...she looked upward and announced "No touchy...she's my Mommy". I cried (blubbered) :Sob: then as well as a few other times since. What if we were brought home so there would be family near for Kristi as my "number" may be called. As I have discussed this with others (you know who you are), I've been told that my purpose here is not done yet and that I have much work to do. I feel the same; but I'm still nervous and apprehensive.

Not only will my "guests" 2 weeks be up on 1-28 but I want them out of here when I go into hospital. My house, my stuff if you know what I mean. I have placed a password on my access onto the computer as my Auntie advised me that "I " was on-line 2 am Friday morning. I was not - I was asleep and so was Kristi. As the cats don't use the computer you can take a good guess as to who the culprits were. I wasn't even asked if they could use the computer either.

On a quite positive note I received my power chair from the Scooter Store. It's the jazzy select model. The base is metallic candy-apple red with the chair gray and black. My doc prescribed a gel cushion so it will be comfy. Right now it's parked in my dining-room. I'm practicing and getting the hang of maneuvering it around. Once I can get it situated in the basement that's where it will be stored and charged so I'm able to cruise my part of the world. As of now and in the future (God willing) I will not have to use it daily within the house. There are accessories I can get for it, which I hope to be able to do over time.

Oh well......enough rambling and babbling :out_of_here: later.
