15556. wonkers2 - 6/20/2005 2:31:05 PM If he lives long enough, he'll soon find himself hooked up to an oxygen tank for emphysema. 15557. thoughtful - 6/20/2005 3:18:01 PM It's a real toss-up as to what will kill him...the diabetes, the clogged arteries, stroke, the booze, lung cancer, heart attack....so many options there! 15558. wonkers2 - 6/20/2005 3:26:23 PM He apparently has a death wish! When I see smokers huddled in doorways outside their office buildings in the winter, I think what a bunch of losers! (No offense intended to moties who may be smokers!) 15559. Macnas - 6/20/2005 3:47:48 PM Just out of interest, why no offence? 15560. judithathome - 6/20/2005 3:48:18 PM ...he has a lot of difficulty getting words to come to him when he's talking. That's not coming back.
My son had this difficulty after his stroke and it DID correct itself. His may have been milder than your brother's though. 15561. wonkers2 - 6/20/2005 3:57:59 PM Macnas, well, I have had several friends who have not been able to stop smoking (one still alive, the other prematurely dead from emphysema after 5 years hooked up to an oxygen tank). I found it counter-productive (both to stopping smoking and continued friendship)to rag them about their habit. 15562. Macnas - 6/20/2005 4:18:34 PM Never mind me wonkers, I've been called worse. 15563. Ms. No - 6/20/2005 4:56:43 PM
Some of my best friends are Negroes. 15564. judithathome - 6/20/2005 9:24:57 PM Doctor just called me and asked how the leg is doing and told me they are setting up an apointment for a bone density test next Tuesday. He said he thinks the pain, which is lessening a bit, is a Baker's cyst that burst and that there is nothing to do for it except wait for the pain to subside. Great. 15565. Magoseph - 6/20/2005 9:59:00 PM I just looked up about the Baker's Cyst--it's better news than a clot--why will you have a bone density test? 15566. judithathome - 6/21/2005 12:23:16 AM To see of the Miacalcin nose spray is helping my bones at all. If it's not, then I will have to discontinue it. 15567. arkymalarky - 6/21/2005 1:01:55 AM Mags, you didn't confuse Judith and me. I posted earlier. Glad to hear everything's ok. The dust mask is a must when you have allergies. I don't do any of the yard work, but I'm not very allergic to dust, so housework is no problem (at least not because of allergies). 15568.

Digging for a lake room

 15572. Magoseph - 6/21/2005 3:33:10 PM Well, the new lake room at my son's place will be 12X44 feet with windows all around from where they will see the lake much better than they did previously. The living room will have an arch to the lake room (so they call it--no more old porch!). 15573. Ms. No - 6/21/2005 4:25:34 PM How exciting!
Now if I could only get my dad to send me construction pics. He finally dropped off a couple of disposable cameras full to be developed yesterday but who knows when he'll actually get the discs mailed to me. Seems like no matter how many times I show him or walk him through it he can't email the pics to me.

They have a crew there and several machines now-here's the first one on site. Anyway, my son and his wife won't stop improving their place for a long time--After this is finished, they will add a second floor with his and hers office and I suspect a bedroom/kitchenette/bathroom for a certain lady in her old age.
15575. Magoseph - 6/21/2005 4:47:27 PM Well, they have no children and she has no parents and they both have plenty of money. The only thing is that they work too hard and too much, in my view, of course.
