She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure over a year ago. One med helps the heart pump better but fluid can still back up into her lungs. So she's also on a diuretic to help keep the fluid down. And there's kidney medication to help them deal with the extra stress of a full time diuretic.

She's doing really well all things considered and still has great quality of life. However, just one missed dose of the heart medication can really be debilitating for her.

Happy Tuesday everyone :hello:

Played some pickup basketball for the first time in over a decade last night. Didn't play terrible but not good either. My mind was working a lot faster than my body was that's for sure :icon17:

Checking in….

Alive and well in Central Florida with good news to share…Last Thursday, I had my 6 month post treatment scans and they were all clear. :tup:

Cancer free at 6 months out was extremely nice to hear. My previous two bouts of this stuff each reoccurred at only 3 months.

Still have my g-tube for all my food and drink but it’s not to bad. I am speaking fairly well but it sounds like I have a bad lisp due to them chopping out half of my tongue back in August of 2020

All in all, I’m still a kickin’ and a scratching down here in the swamp…

-Spoiler

(….:tiphat….. Chris A. )

hell yeah dude, fantastic news brother..

About time you checked in. Was worrying about you. When you go dark. People start to think bad things. So glad to hear that you're doing good. :tup: You don't want to do a baronsmokes on us. Go totally dark. :icon14:

I’m here… but always wondered about the Baron myself too…

Last he said, he was having health issues and went dark. Don't know if he's still kicking or not. Same thing with old fart. :icon14: Sold his Z and that was it.

Great news man! I’m looking forward to hanging out (and meeting you) in January for our “Daytona dayz” meet. :tup: Hopefully all the FL peeps are able to make it, and of course anyone else on here as well. :driving:

Good Wednesday Morning All. 81* for a high with 0% chance of rain here in Austin for the day. :bowdown: Just a few more days to go until the weekend. So time to get this day rocking!! :happydance: Hope you all have a good one. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands. :tup:

morning all! :hello:

Winterizing lawn sprinklers and outdoor faucets today. ( 5 outdoor faucets and 43 sprinkler heads ). This is a new system installed by a reputable local business who did the install for me this past summer. He's coming over but using my compressor/tools and just overseeing the operation this one time so I can perform myself correctly in the future. ( My first lawn system I had it was imperative that the zone/station valve was already "opened" prior to applying air as not to put pressure on the valve while opening... that was 20 years ago... will find out today if winterization of this system is the same or not ).

Other than that, SSDD! :tup:

Haven't heard from him in a long time! I just assumed he became a permanent traveling groupie for that band he liked so much... Sarah's Twin or Gemini's Sister or Twisted Sister? I can't remember the name. I really hope he's doing well!
