The Old Folks Home

[Nomadicus]

Good morning to the Old Folks Sanctuary. I'm feeling a super sized nap coming on. How about you?

Got the test results back from the biopsy. It's not a new cancer, just more of where my breast cancer has metastasized. Not really good news, but not the worst possible either.

That’s good and I’m so sorry! I guess at least you know what you’re dealing with huh? I hope I’m not saying all the wrong things, I just want to make sure you’re heard and supported even if I risk sounding like a jerk doing it!

You’re a few time zones ahead of me but I’ll be ready in a few hours! Although it’s cool so far this morning so that makes it easier to keep going!

Hey oldsters! Hope everyone is staying cool calm and collected today!

@getaclue. You know we are all here for you, praying for you and have shoulders for you to lean on when you need to vent a bit.

None of us are in this game alone.

I know so little about this kind of situation, I can only wish you the very best and keep you in my prayers.

Good morning, OF. Today is a 'town' day.

Went and did ‘town’ this morning and now finishing lunch.
Mowing this afternoon!

I started college in 1964...

Hmmm, that might make you the person with the most life experience in the old folks home. You can impart wisdom to the younger folks

Dh did some checking, and after a bit of digging, it's a known problem. They sell a part for $150.00 to fix the problem. I have no idea why the fix wasn't free, since it's a known problem, and FIRE HAZARD, or why we weren't contacted, or sent a notice, or something. What part of FIRE HAZARD didn't sink in to the manufacturer? It's not like it didn't have the potential of burning up someone's kitchen, house, etc.

Yikes! Yes, a KNOWN fire hazard should have not only a free repair but a recall.

pert, Dh said the same thing, that the breaker should have tripped, BUT it didn't.

Not sure why it should trip. The microwave was running with nothing inside, not shorting out. I think I would also have replaced it with a different brand even though the fix would have been cheaper. I don't think I would ever trust it.

Sorry about the so-so cancer diagnosis.

Hey good morning Old Folks.
Had a town day yesterday paying bills today.

Annual physical was this morning, with fasting blood work. I'm due for a colonoscopy, and the Doc said I could do the "poop in a box." Ie, Cologuard. Yippee. I've done the "cleanout the day before" kind, and this sounds much better.

I think the worst part of the physical is the fasting. One cup of black coffee, on an empty stomach is not a good combination for me.

It's done for another year. Just waiting to see the numbers on the blood work.

@getaclue, I have nothing to complain about. <-- doing this to myself.

Some hugs for you.

 

[getaclue]

Sally, you have plenty to complain about. That cleanout, fasting, etc. is NOT fun. You fuss about it all you want.
