Re: "How are you feeling today? Hopefully gradually stronger in small increments.."I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. We tend to make light of colds, but as we age the likelihood mounts that one of them will prove serious. Gotta deal with colds and flus quickly before they develop into something worse.

I have a cardiology appointment in about two hours, so maybe I'll learn more about how I'm doing. I seem to be doing really well, but my ribcage still hurts. Nights remain the worst since I can't lie on my sides at all right now and lying on my back for very long has always been problematic.

I have a persistent problem with dehydration, and when I lie on my back for more than a couple of hours, it starts to feel like all the wet tissue (lips, tongue, eyes) in my head is mummifying. It causes me to wake up with migraines, too. I've had a dozen of them since the surgery when I only had one in the prior year. Maybe the doc today can shed a little light on that, but I don't think it's his specialty. The surgery only made the dehydration an issue because of the way it has forced me to sleep. Tossing and turning has always helped - it evens out whatever part of me is most dried out - but now I can't toss and turn.

Last night I tried sleeping on my side. That's been hard because it's painful. If you consider that my ribcage is wired together up the sternum you'll understand why that is. But I got onto my left side and was fairly comfortable when the whole torso suddenly went "*crack* *crack* *crack* *crack*" over about two seconds. It didn't hurt but it worried me enough that I rolled onto my back and didn't try that again. I hope I didn't do anything stupid like break whatever it is that's holding me together - but I feel well enough today so I doubt it. I'm probably fine.

The heart itself feels odd. As best I can describe it, it feels most of the time as if there's a Master Lock hanging off my neck like a pendant. When I lean back, I'd swear there was something pushing on my chest. It's not exactly painful, but it's incessant. It usually gets worse toward evening, and it usually tips me off that it's time to take some tylenol. I'm taking pills 4 times a day now...

I slept a little better last night, actually sleeping from 2 a.m. until 6 a.m. That's the best rest I've had since the operation. Usually I'm up every 90 minutes, so 4 hours was great.

My heart is sometimes audibly pounding. It's apparently because the pericardial sac which surrounds the heart was cut upon during surgery, as it must be. The surgeons don't seal it again after heart surgery since doing so can prevent the heart from being able to fully expand. The result of it being open is a sometimes disconcertingly loud heartbeat. I'll get used to it.

That's the quick summary. Thanks for asking.

Good morning De!

How are you feeling today? Hopefully gradually stronger in small increments..

Finally over my mild pneumonia and feel about 75% human again... Getting older and getting these things is different than say 20 years ago.... You would know that as well as anyone!

You can tell that dipstick lib professor likely never bothered to study any history or the writings of any of the founders period.

As yous aid, they seem to believe that they are so much better to offer their non-substantiated views and we are supposed to be wowed by BS 101 degrees issued by institutions of lower learning and zero expectations of real educations, which means learning real lessons and truth from the past....
