More Ramblings from TW


Heyz to everyone, thanks for stoppin by. I haven't been bloggin much lately, I've just been a little under the weather. Miss Judi has been makin me stay pretty close to home so she can keep an eagle eye on me. Sometimes she can be a pretty tough cookie. Looks like I'm gonna have to check into the hospital and get a lil plumbing installed on the 25th of Feb, I'm gonna try to get em to overhaul me while I'm in there. As most of you know I have Pulmonary Hypertension and its gotten to the point that oral meds aren't doing any good so they're gonna put a Hickman Catheter in me and start me on Remodulin. Hopefully these new meds will make me run like a Chevy.....lol. Anyway thats enuff about me.
Have yall ever seen such screwed up weather in ya life. One day it's freezin cold and the next ya have to run the A/C. What ever happened to the old days when we used to have seasons. And this year with all the record breaking cold temperatures, people dying from exposure and all that. Ya know in my younger days people could cope with things like that because you could always build a fire to stay warm, but nowadays everyone doesn't have fireplaces and most everything is dependent on electricity, which we all know is the first thing to go it seems like. Don't get me wrong I think the guys and gals who work at the Power Companys do a great job, but no one can control the weather, or falling limbs, ya know things like that.
Well I'm ramblin again huh, laffin, they say thats what crazy people do, if thats so I'm complety insane.....lol.
Well i guess i need to get off this puter and do some chores before checkin in to the Med motel next week. If yall don't hear from me for a while I'll be incognito, but I'll be back as soon as I can. Thanks for droppin in, and remember if you're ever this way be sure to stop in, my door is always open to my friends.

Just Rambling


Hello everyone, hope all of ya are doing good. Things on Poverty Hill have been sorta quiet and laid back since hunting season is over. I've been catching up on my rest. The truth is I'm glad hunting season is over, I was gave slam out. Gettin up at 4 am every morning and hunting untill dark was getting old quick. Both my boys love hunting as well as my oldest Grandson so I figure I have to get up and go with em. Anyway now I can rest up, well that is after I catch up on the honeydo's that I neglected while hunting season was in.

I've been reading and watching on TV about the record colds that they're having up North, isn't that just terrible? I just absolutely could not live in that kind of weather, I'd make a terrible Eskimo. I was talking to someone the other day and they were saying, "Oh they are used to that kind of weather, they were raised in it."
Well I disagree with that, I don't think they've had all the power outages and water outages like they've been having lately. This is serious business when its freezing cold and you have no heat, thats life threatening. I know how the power outages are because of the hurricances we have down here and its terrible, but the fact that its freezing cold up there makes it so much worse to me. I feel for the people up there and pray that they all make it through these hard times ok. I think they need to take some of that bailout money the government is throwing away on these banks and buy everyone up there a generator so that they can stay warm and eat, it'd be a whole lot cheaper and do a helluva lot more good for the people.

Well its that time again, for those of you that don't know I have Pulmonary Hypertension and once or twice a year us PHer's have to have a right heart cath to check the pressure between our heart and lungs. Well its time that time again and although the procedure isn't very painful, I'm dreading getting it done. I know my pressures have gone up again due to the distance I can walk have gotten much shorter and my ability to do certain things has declined. Oh well, my doc was wanting to put me on a different medicine, looks like the time has come...we'll see after the heart Cath. Its just the fact that the options are getting slimmer. The meds he's talking about is called Remodulin, which is taken Sub-Q or by Catheter. Anyway that enuff about that, I'll cross that road when I get to it. It's nothing but a thang.

I've been reading the PHA boards more here lately now that hunting season is over and I see that there's lots of newbies to PH posting. I can remember when I first started posting and asking questions, so I know how scared most to them are. I hate seeing new people join us but I'm glad they found their way to us so that they know they are not alone. I wish I could be of more help to them, but I try to help in any way that I can. Maybe in some way to repay the help that PHA and its member have given me.

Well, I'm ramblin all over the place so i recon I need to just shut up.....laffin.
Best wishes to all of ya from Poverty Hill, ya come when ya can, the door is always open to my friends.
