Jack’s operation went well and he can see better than me now. The showoff is reading the tiniest of print just to prove it too LOL I am busy giving him drops throughout the day. We have also had a couple more doc appointments that has kept us busy this week.
One thing they did find is that is heart is only registering every 3rd beat. Scared the hell out of the staff at the hospital and they rushed him to emerg to check it out. A cardiac doc was on duty and she checked him over. Because his heart problem is asymmetrical (meaning no symptoms), he hasn’t felt that anything was wrong except for the shortness of breath, which worsened this winter. He now has 2 appointments next week with her for tests. She thinks there may be a blockage in one of his arteries. Although it was a scary situation it proved to be a good one as he has now jumped the waiting list line to see a cardiologist specialist and that means we will find out what is wrong sooner rather than later.
Today he saw a dermatologist for the markings on his temple and back. You know they tell you to alert your doc when you find these things. And the one on his temple has been growing 3 dimensional which has worried me. But the specialist told us today we have nothing to worry about as they are most likely age related. Still it was better to find out, right. No one on Jack’s side of the family dies of natural causes as EVERYONE for the past 3 generations have died of some form of cancer.
His diabetes numbers are good now, with the help of the meds. We are still waiting to see that specialist. Waiting times in this country is what kills you! There just are not enough docs anywhere. Even if we were still in Mississauga, even being next door to Toronto, the waiting times would be just as bad.
The weather has been horrible. Winter has returned. It goes down to 0C at night and north of Toronto and even some parts of Toronto have snow. Even in Ottawa which is only 100km away they had freezing rain and snow flurries. Living by the water helps keep our temps a bit milder and so we have only rain. Although we may have to drain the pool again!
South of us in North Carolina they had 62 tornados in one day. Over 45 people are dead so far. That severe storm system and another one coming from Texas (where all the bad weather starts) is keeping us in winter conditions here in Canada. Still I would rather have that then those dreaded tornados. Even my girlfriend in Texas who called me yesterday said they are under a Toronado watch and she lives just outside of Dallas. Major cities rarely see this kind of weather. So everything is crazy down there.
I think I am going to hibernate in Dolton and never come out! So far *touch wood* it has stayed dry. I have a few units up on bricks, which I brought with me from Mississauga. The back end wall had a leak this winter which I believe was backup of snow because of the pool. Once that is gone, there should be no more problems. *again touch wood* I would hate to jinx it.
Anyway this afternoon I have been in Dolton, yet another rearrangement. I keep saying this one is the last. But another idea comes to me that I think might be better than the one before and there I go again moving stuff. Just like the old Dolton, in order to move one thing, 15 other things have to be moved so you can get your body in and have an area to shift the item to where you want it moved. I am hoping with this latest lay out I can get the last wall unit built and it will have a spot. So then everything will be put together and in place. Oh I forgot about the friggin' boxes. Well their turn is coming, trust me on that one LOL
No luck with the lottery, the $50 million has been split 3 ways. That's good cos $50. is just too much IMO, although I bet I could spend it *grin* Just as well cos if I won I would have to pack Dolton up again for it's new home that I would buy with the money. And right now that is the last thing I want to do. Rich or not. Some of you would say, oh just hire people to do it for you! Would you let someone else pack up your dolls? Yeah I didn't think so.
So now I've had a little break from moving furniture it's time to get back into the fray. My dollies are really getting annoyed with being knocked over and falling and being bumped into. I bet they all have bruises LOL I know I do!
Take care everyone and stay dry.
