    I'm giving away my age with this comment.  This was the theme song chosen for my HS senior prom.

    I posted this song a couple months ago and I remember you said it was your theme song at your senior prom. Great tune! 

     

    See, I'm old and senile.  I repeat myself again and again repeatedly.

    Okay, children, Daddy's home and all is well.

    Seems like i was poisoned by something fishy, but after a dozen tests, a like number of shots, a bevy of blood draws (every two hours for two days), no food, little water, and a whole pile of good care from all the staff, they still aren't sure what got me.

     

    Thanks for all the prayers and good feelings.  They always help.

     

    I have to say, though, that I didn't realize so many of you are such phony grumps and hard cases.  I am beholden to so many people these days thatI can''t count them.

     

    Now, about those nurses: they are everywhere, faster than lightning and amazingly gentle.During a shift change the out going nurse rattled off everything that was going on with me without reading a single note.  The oncoming lady asked her a whose mess of thins to clarify what was happening.  Amazing skills.

     

    And they all very observant.  For instance, one was walking by my room at a crisp pace and stopped to step in and pick up a pen I had dropped and almost never broke stride.

     

    Again, Thanks to all.  I am touched.

     

    Glad to have you back, pard.

    In the case of my day today, the bird had a bad case of diarrhea and made it to the ceiling fan, which was mounted directly over my head and perched on one of the blades.......for 12 hours

    time for an EMT question

    My experience is ancient.  That being said, no we would not have carried nitrous in the ambulance or response vehicle.  We would not have had any need to calm a patient or render them unconscious.  On the contrary, you need your patient conscious so they can tell you where it hurts and take effective vital signs.  Things have changed since I left the field, so I can't tell you for certain.

    Bad Medical Commercial?

    I am not a doctor, nor did I play one on TV.  That being said, I have some ancient paramedic experience.  What I can tell you is exactly what was stated above.  Yes stay away from this approach, for exactly the reasons stated above.  There are a lot of variables in "caring" for your emergency kit like temperature extremes (How many of your prescriptions tell you to keep in a cool, dry place........)  Antibiotics are effected by extreme heat and cold.  Leaving the kit in your car could cause issues with the efficacy of the medicines, or worse.  While the concept is good, if you think about practical applications based on where you live, it is not likely to work well in real life.

    Ok, here's a boot question

    If you're coming to Tucson, there always Cowtown Boots right off I-10, and there's Boot Bunkhouse on Pima to check out. BONUS!! Boot Bunkhouse is two buildings down from Second Amendment Sports. There's also a new place, Cavender's, at Oracle and Limberlost. I've not been there, as they've not been open long, but it might be worth looking at.

     

    I used to shop Cavender's in St. Louis and loved them.

    What is your kin going to do when their spots disappear and their manes start growing in? B)

     

    Well, he does still live in Cali.  We'll see.

     

    They are two and four.  I understand they are very sweet but still true to their Bengal heritage.  Very active.  I'll check in with him this week and see how things are going.
