Few experiences with shrapnel. Fellow teaching me how to be a scout pilot flew us through a really large tree so I got a ride on a Medevac to DaNang. Dysentery during the second tour. The latter was one of the most bizarre adventures of all time. One learns how to land lightly when so afflicted.
Ripped on my left ring finger long time ago. What I refer to as a brutal divorce, and it ended my guitar adventure.
4 styles of cancer over the years. Large B Cell & Follicular Lymphoma, prostate and skin
I am..........disturbed.

Currently down for the count with double pneumonia (non-covid) for the last 10 days. Not sure how long it will take to clear this, but it's a lot more serious than I first thought. I went down in early January. My oxygen levels started staying above 95% in mid April. Had an X-ray done in early May and the report said my lungs were normal for someone in my age bracket. It's probably going to take a couple months to get back to normal.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It's probably going to take a couple months to get back to normal. I went to the Dr on Thursday this week. He ordered x-rays for the next day and gave me prescription. Got the x-rays on Friday. The x-ray lab tech came out immediately with concern and told me to go see my Dr. Within 10 mins of that the Dr. calls me with a new , much more powerful prescription and a word of warning to get some rest or I'm going to be admitted. Another appt. on Wednesday this week and more x-rays to chart progress. The sweats when sleeping are 2nd to none. I got up in the middle of the night last night just to towel off.

Broken bone outside edge of left foot playing racquet ball. Needed a stainless plate and some screws to fix that.

Been a type 1 diabetic since age 2 and now paying for thinking that I was immortal all those years. I'd love to have traded for type 2 as that's easy cruising comparatively. Had double pneumonia 13 years ago that left my lungs scarred and asthmatic which makes everything difficult if you get even mildly winded. I know that dialysis will be in my future someday with the way my kidney numbers are going. Fuggin sucks.

Aortic aneurysm
It took emergency open heart surgery and the installation of a plastic graft to replace my upper thoracic.
I will require more surgery in the future to replace my leaking aortic valve.

Told family Dr. I wanted bump removed from the side of my nose. He said it's gettin a bit big for me to burn off, I'll send ya to a guy. Went to specialist & he said it's got to go, it's cancer.
Blood work & EKG for surgery. Got a call from nurse friend of mine wanting to know when I had a heart attack. Never I said. She said you've had one, maybe 2 according to the test.
Turns out the heart attacks were minor silent ones & the skin cancer removal was successful.
I'll have to admit that I was on edge for a week or 2.

I count my blessings. Very little health wise for me. Lost a finger tip and thumb tip in separate accidents. High cholesterol. Wife is another matter. Having to deal with all the things that accompany being the spouse of someone with dementia. Forced me to retire early to care for her. God bless you
