In a one months time I managed to make a visit to 4 different NH emer rooms A couple of good things came out of this. One they managed to keep me from looking at the grass from the bottom and one of the hospitals made chicken soup from scratch that would make you almost want to visit their emer room. Have a nice day Don K

Glad your still with us !
Just a perspective, i am 62, and still quite able to do most anything i want day to day.
But do to asthma, and a body that makes kidney stones frequently, I would probably have died 15 or 20 times by now without the ER,s of various local Hospitals.
It is a strange world we live in, ...tj

I've been relatively healthy these 60+ years. Been to an ER twice. Got up and left under my own power the first time. Second time was a kidney stone. Just had my 2nd colonoscopy . Have yet to be in a hospital long enough to be served food. My wife is the best cook I know and for 8-9 months a year she will make soup. Too hot at the moment. But her chicken soup starts with a whole cooked rotisserie chicken. Her only "short cut". Come cooler weather this fall time, we'll have to have a full blown soup thread !

A man told me "I prefer looking at daisies as a flower instead of a root"

RE: Kidney Stones
I suffered with kidney stones a lot in my younger days. After my last visit of 4 days in the hospital, out of desperation I started looking at what I could do at home about them. Came across an 1880's medical book of home apothecary recipes that suggested the following...
1 cup lemon juice (or lime is fine)
1 cup light oil (I use olive oil)
Mix well and drink
This has kept me out of the hospital at least 4 times now. When you feel the pain start, drink this mixture. In about 4 hours you will feel the pain subside. The citric acid eats at the stone and the olive oil lubes the tract for it to come out. At most I have had to do this twice in one day but it works like a charm! (Really sucks having to drink it though. Does NOT taste good.)

Hmmm, that's how my marinade for grilled turkey tenders starts, hehehehe.... just need soy sauce, Sprite and a few spices.  I've been in the hospital too many times. If I was born in the 1800s or even early 1900s I may not have made it this far. Overall, it's been a very good life.  |

" If I was born in the 1800s or even early 1900s "
The other day my daughter said to mom "Mom, you were born in the nineteenth century (1979)"

That would be 20th century... I had to be corrected on that point when I was a youngster, too.

AT 82 LIMITED IN SOME THINGS BUT CAN STILL SHOOT BUT STAY AWAY MOSTLY FROM BIG STUFF. MOST SIXGUN LOADS .44/.45 ARE HELD TO .45 ACP LEVELS. THIS MONTH MY CARDIOLIGIST SAID SEE YOU IN A YEAR; MY REGULAR DOCTOR SAID SEE YOU NEXT YEAR. MY CAT SCAN ON HOW THE REPAIRED AORTA FROM ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO IS HOLDING UP SHOWS STILL WORKING FINE. I AM BLESSED. GETTING TO WHERE IT WAS HARD (IMPOSSIBLE?) TO HEAR ANYTHING WITH MY ONE EAR WITH 25% LEFT (THE RIGHT EAR IS DEAD) AND A HEARING AID SO WENT TO MIRACLE EAR. WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED THEY COULD HELP ME BUT I BOUGHT A NEW HEARING AID ($3200+) AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS. CAN EVEN HEAR THE GREAT GRANDKIDS TALKING NOW. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT EVERYTHING. CAN HEAR MUCH ON TV WITHOUT THE CLOSED CAPTIONS. COST ABOUT AS MUCH AS A COLT SAA + A PRE-29 BUT WORTHIT.

My parents and their peers didn't share ailments(weaknesses), and such, so learning as I go ! But it is good to find someone or three, ahead of you on this path of life. For tips, advice and wisdom. So, John ? I've tinnitus more than hearing loss. My E-muffs seem to be telling me hearing aids, not yet but.., will they also magnify the tinnitus ? NOT a happy thought.

Well I have been in hospitals thousands of times cause that was what I did for work, it is different when your on the other side. The next birthday will be # 90 so I am lucky that most stuff still works. This move to Colorado is mostly to make it a little easier on family members due to time and distance, besides my oldest has a two hundred yard range in the back yard and I have a SBH in 218 Mashburn Bee due in from D Clements about the time I get settled so I expect to have a good couple months with that. Have a nice day Don K
