OhGod/OhGod/OhGod....adinfonitum...

This is all I remember going through my Head/Hearing on the Night of  Monday 29 August 2011.

And some crazed Doctor yelling in my ear...Live or Die...something about my Kidneys Shutting Down...
He wanted permission to put a Stint in my Neck to Clean my Blood (Dialysis)...I finally said 'YES'...I wanted too LIVE...
Needless to say I was one Sick Boy...

I have vague memories of the next few days...In and out of whatever...not real sleep. As soon as some one came near me or in my room my eyes would open. As near as I can Figure about the 4th of Sept. (6 days) I started to recognize people Doctors and Nurses...Good and Bad. And think, speak and answer questions.

It seems that at the time I had a Very Large Blood/Puss Absess moving around my Left Stomach Area.
I had this Drain in my Left Side...a Foley Catheter for Urine and a Balloon up inside me for Poop.

Let's jump back a few Blog Pages....  http://theoldreprobate.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-have-returned.html and myalterego-glenn.blogspot.com/2011/04/diverticulitis-or-severe-lower-stomach

It seems that I still had the diverticulitis going on and the Hematoma took off on it's own....

They let me come home this past Monday Night...12 Sept. 2011...I still have swelling of my Stomach Area...and some swelling of my legs these are going down It's all Fluid...

I seem to be getting better...no real pain...at a slow pace...But I guess It's GOD's Time...that I am still HERE.

GOD HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER DAY...


Just an Addendum to this it is Two weeks that I am home...26 Sept. 2011...I still have swelling of my Stomach Area...and also Leakage from where the Drain was in my side...It is Clear/Sticky...The Leg swelling has not gotten any better...as long as my legs are raised the swelling in my feet goes down...I put my feet on the floor and 10min. later they are swollen. I go to see my Primary Care on Wednesday the 28th my BD. Hopefully we can get this straighten out...

I have Returned...

Yes I am back from my Recent trip to the VA Hosp.

Last Friday Evening Aug. 11th. I was having some Extreme Stabbing Pain in the Lower Left Side of my Abdomen Area...I was also having some Colon Problems...

Similar to what occurred back at the End of March. myalterego-glenn.blogspot.com/2011/04/diverticulitis-or-severe-lower-stomach.html .

As I said it was Similar but not the Same...Now an Area on the Left side Felt Warm, Hard and Distended...Very painful to Touch...

Well Friday Night they Ran some Tests and X-Rays and Admitted me...On Saturday they did A CT Scan...
That Showed that the Pain was NOT part of my Colon....

What they Believe is that somehow I Broke a Blood Vessel in the FAT/Mussel Area next to the Abdomen Wall that put Pressure on the Colon...Think Blood Bruise or Hematoma...Large about the Size of a Child's Fist...

So now I'm Home...With Orders to Rest, Take Pain Pills, Rest...

It could have been Worse, but Life Goes On...I'm Thankful to GOD and the Doctors and Nurses at the VA Hosp.

Independence Day 4th. of July 2011

We here in America celebrate the Forth of July as our Independence Day...From England...

A Smart Ass Friend (a Liberal/Democrat) says to me the other day that, "The Only reason Americans fought the Revolution was that a group of Fat, Rich, White Guys did not want to Pay their Fair Share Tax's"...And wanted to Keep all the Money here in America and Not Help the Poor Farmers....

I almost Hit this Guy...I have found that there is 'NO Arguing' with this kind of Logic...just let the Fool Run on...I did ask him WHY he Celebrated the Day...

Oh Yes there were Tax's involved...But they were called Act's...The Stamp Act...there were quite a few...almost everything that came into this Country had an Act or Tax on it...But when the Colonists wanted a say in what was going on in the English Parliament or Had to Live by the Kings Rule with no way of Addressing these Laws...

King George III

And it was not so much of the Rich Guy's but the Average guy in the Town and the Farmers that were against the Tax's...

A small group of Colonists Disguised as Indians Raided a Few Ships in Boston Harbor and Dumped a Few Cases of Tea into the Harbor....This was the Boston Tea Party...This more or less Started the Whole Revolution and It Escalated from there...

It Encompassed the Eastern Sea Boards 13 Colonies....The Rest they say is History...

I do Not Believe It was Started By a Bunch of

Fat, Rich, White Guys...

History Lesson on Your Social Security Card

By:
Dick Kantenberger
Gifted Education Writer
Examiner.com


Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this.
It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it.  Be sure and show it to your family
and friends. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter
whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts.

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and
card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the
United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the
message, NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION, was removed.

An old Social Security card with the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message.

Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary, 
No longer Voluntary 


2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program, 
Now 7.65% 
on the first $90,000

3.) That the money the participants elected to put
into the Program would be deductible from
their income for tax purposes each year,

No longer tax deductible 


4.) That the money the participants put into the
independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and, 
Under Johnson the money was moved to 
The General Fund and Spent 

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed
as income. 

Under Clinton & Gore 
Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed 

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
now receiving a Social Security check every month --
and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
away' -- you may be interested in the following:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
controlled House and Senate.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the  US

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
giving annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right! 

Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.  
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
even though they never paid a dime into it!

------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA),
the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want
to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! 
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
evolve. But it's worth a try.

How many people can YOU send this to?

Day Light Savings Time vs. Spring Shift and Fall Shift

I think this is one of the Dumbest things I have ever heard of...First off you are NOT saving anything...There will be just as many Hours and Minutes...Tomorrow as there are Today...And we will be Adding Minutes of Daylight maybe one or two more every day till the Summer Solstice...day of the year with the longest period of daylight.

The Earth in It's Day n Night turning, wile it travels around the Sun is Tilted...So that at times the North Pole is leaning closer to the Sun giving us in the Northern Hemisphere Spring n Summer...and the opposite is True when the South Pole is Closer....

A lot of Countries use DST...The United States did not really get into it Totally till about 1966...

There are a lot of Pro's n Con's about It...I kind of like It...

So we are left with what I feel is a 'misnomer'...

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

I would like to propose that we Start Calling It Spring Shift and Fall Shift

February 2011

So far this has been a Busy Month for me...But I have Survived and Stayed Sober doing it...LOL

One of the Things that I am kind of Proud of is that on the 6th of February, I had 17 years of Sobriety...

I did not do this Alone...I do have a Higher Power that I Call GOD...

I do Believe that He/She has kept me Alive and Sober for a Reason....

What that reason is I have know Idea...But I don't have too Know...

With everything going on I kind of lost track of my Program, No not like that, just what I am doing and why am I here....Kind of took the Easier Softer Way in a lot of things...using my not feeling well too just sit back and coast along...When making a choice of which path to follow...

The only Point being that as soon as you do go down one Path your Thinking that you should have taken the other one...LOL

But as we all Know Life is Not that Simple...

Very Often we are offered many Paths from which to choose...

This is when we have too Listen too Hear God Talking too us...

I have found that there are Times...That God my Higher Power wants me too Forge Ahead just knowing

that He/She is with me but I must make my own Road....

These are the Times that Test a man...

But I have Faith...and Trust in God.."My God"
