A few have asked, so here is a health update.
Quality of Life: 50%
Reason: TWO Kidney Stones, one on each side, LARGE ones.
Reason for Quality of Life: Old, for one thing, some sort of a tube sticking out of my left side. Two Stents ... Bathroom break (a nice way of saying it) about every ten minutes, sometimes less. No appetite, lost 20 pounds.
Ambition level: 10%
Problem for the Day: I have a doctors appointment on Friday, in Columbus, Ohio, at the OSU Hospital with one Doctor Knudson, a Kidney Stone Specialist.
The Problem: Getting there. My dear wife, who has Afib, and is a source of great concern, wants to go with me. One time, not long ago, she accompanied me for a test, I was signing in at the Surgery Desk, a nurse took one look at her, put her in a wheelchair, and took her to Emergency. She spent her time there while the tests were performed on me.
I "lose" a little each day, I feel like something is gradually "poisoning" my system, possibly some leakage from all of my plumbing problems. As of today, I am not even sure I am going to be able to, or feel like, going on Friday.
So, I am not confident enough to go by myself, so I need someone to take me there, wait, and bring me home, and someone to babysit my wife while I am away.
Old age is ....... well ..... old age, a problem of its own.
