You will feel so much better and not be as tired. <br />I loved the early birds dinner and cracked up at the poor ole cowboy. LOL <br />I thought the not saving story a true one. I found several unworn items that Mother was saving when she passed in 98. She should have enjoyed those items and I took the lesson to heart. <br />PeaceLady Di Tnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314994067842063387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-66108074254834079272010-04-27T16:45:51.013+10:002010-04-27T16:45:51.013+10:00Get better soon.

Ken had one put in about 8 years ago, and he has had several angiograms since then (where they go through the groin). He said they don't bother him now because he knows it doesn't hurt, and there is nothing to worry about. His Mum who is 97 has had several stents implanted, and she also had no problems with the procedure. So if your doc. says it should be done, don't hesitate! <br />Ken went to bed about half an hour ago, and I just woked him up when I cracked up over that cowboy joke - good one!Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898025342845778058.post-48297064540891481072010-04-25T12:08:51.923+10:002010-04-25T12:08:51.923+10:00I'm looking forward to retardment.

If they just go up through your vein, you'll be back here blogging in no time.<br /><br />Aren't New Zealanders called Kiwis? I thought we ran into a few of them in London.

There is a nice little article which is fairly easy to understand here: (you will have to copy and paste it into your URL toolbar)<br /><b> http://www.vascularweb.org/patients/NorthPoint/Thoracic_Aneurysm.html </b> <br />I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm which isn't so close to my heart. It sounds like you are going to get a stent placed inside of it. <br />My stent was put in in 2001. That technology was pretty new back then. It sure does beat open chest surgery and a graft or a hose implanted. I have not had a bit of trouble with it but I do have to go for checkups and tests most every six months.<br /><br />I really did laugh (LOL even) at the lesbian cowboy. He probably was a Texas Aggie cowboy. Our Aggies, students or alumni from our Texas A&M University in Austin, Texas< are real smart but they learn things wrong. So that makes them the butt of a lot of jokes down here.<br /><br />Next was the "Every day in your life is a special occasion" story. It is true. The retardment center story as told by the little boy was precious. I'd like to got there someday too. When I do I hope the guy at the gate will let me come and go.<br />Cheers, :)<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
