Hiya April 25th

 And the 25th is on us already yes. 

Finally getting to know what the monitor and sending unit like on charging and keeping the 30 foot distance limit in mind though I do forget that once in a while. Ha ha ha ha. 

Did go See my Bro in law Jackie Taylor at  Harbor Hospice in LC town a couple days ago.  Spose to be going home as soon as they get all the stuff to keep him alive a bit longer in place.  

Did get my appointment set up for this morning yesterday.  Teeth cleaning and inspection to see what's up with that piece that came loose and out a few weeks ago. Sigh! 

Da Bride doing better with the back and shoulder every day but the dizziness is still there and memory is almost gone for present things unless reminded.  But, I'll take care of that.   Told her a few times,   " If you forget something a thousand times, I remind you a thousand times. No problem. "

Well onwards with the rest of this day. 

And a band at the Founders Park tonight. ;-)  So probably me and my gals will be present.

 Wow! Over half of April gone and I forgot about this blog. Well , let's catch up. 

The main thing that happened this month was me going out for a few minutes while sitting, sipping wine and watching TV at the LA Bar in Lake Arthur. The TV going out of focus and me blinking my eyes and it goes worst and after about 3 blinks next thing I know was my friend Linsey shaking my shoulders and yelling at me to talk to her. Came back like nothing happened and all was good. She told me what happened and then the police showed up to see what the 911 call was about. So, I stood up and talk to them and even done a couple deep knee bend squats to make sure all was good. 

Next the ambulance came to check me out and a quick EKG and a blood sample all proved good and normal. Hmmmmmmmm. 

So , next day got to see my doctor and another ekg and blood work. All good! Next day to the hospital for more scans and ekg and blood work. No results. 

So a call from my heart doctor's people in Lake Charles moving my appointment up due to what happened. More tests and an appointment for heart monitor and PET scan in May. And me with a heart monitor for 2 weeks. Hmmmmmmmmm. 


So, continuing with my normal life style of sipping wine in the afternoons, doing some gardening and cleaning vehicles when needed. 

The other thing happening is Da Wife hurt her back lifting on plants containers. And no wanting to stay still to let it heal. Found my old back support we had to wear when working offshore years back and giving her a ruff times about staying still to let the back recover.  ha ha ha ha. But tis getting better even with her overly pushing it when it does not hurt lots. 

And the memory problem and dizziness still there and at times bad and better. We'll just deal with it. 

Gardening coming along slowly and kumquat tree looks to be coming back but no flowers yet.  The satsuma tree is good below the graft but nothing above but it did the same a few years ago after a freeze. So waiting for it to show up. 

The Fig tree! Wow! Gonna have a crop this year for sure. I'll be trading figs for other stuff to make wine with for sure. 




The dew berries are coming along and already have 7 in the refrigerator.  The early ripened one with many green ones happening. 



So that about catches us up for what's happened so far this month.
