Met a new health care provider this afternoon. I presented my case and issues and he told me that my chest pain is from rib injury and someday the pain will go away. I should start taking ibu now as my kidney can tolerate it and my pain will go away. He said the big concern is still falling. I can increase my activity level. Shop for doctors to get what i want to hear. No, really, the drs have been consistent. I have gone running to one anytime I feel some pain that i don’t understand.
So tomorrow another easy ride out Sheepsbridge road. Keep hr down & smooth out the bumps.
Watched the GU WSU game on internet tonight. ( Thanks Tom) A dog & cat fight w/ GU finding the where with all to come from 15 down to win by 5. Impressive win. Dickau made the game & was interviewed. Ya got to know Zag basketball to understand.
Had fun getting my propane system fixed today. Working w/ local people that have history and friendship with other local people and me getting involved was fun. So far I have enjoyed my stay here.
New blood pressure med, not the big beta blocker killer, that will not compete w/ my exercise.
Insurance company is contesting the hospital claims by asking for more info. They believe my injury is from an accident, which it was.
Weather is still favorable w/ dry, clear skies, temp in upper 50s & lows a bit below freezing. However the wind makes itself felt. i have been parked in town and the van has been rocking sideways.
I will be here at least until Tues. AM. I am thinking. Subject to change.
Addendum:
2 days ago after dinner I learned that i had a companion aboard. I was sitting @ my table when a mouse scampered up onto the dresser. How did it get in? No idea. The mouse crept up to my computer. How to get it to leave? I put a piece of cheese on the table w/in arms reach and put on a long fingered riding glove on my right hand and all but cupped the cheese. The mouse returned after awhile. I closed my fist but the mouse was quicker and escaped. It didn’t return. It was climbing around behind the bed pedestal where I could not reach it. I accepted the fact that the darn thing would be scurrying around all night. Next day it would be all out effort w/ a trap. I put the bed down, crawled in, and started reading while hearing the nails scratch on metal 7 wood. It figured how to get out: right where I was sitting. Several times it crawled on my bed. I flicked the bedding causing it to catapult into the air and then run away. I blocked it’s scurrying out of my mind for a fitful sleep. Yesterday @ the local ACE I scored the savage spring trap made in Lititz, PA, next town to Manheim where I used to live. I baited it w/ peanutbutter and set it out during the day. No mouse activity, maybe it left. I watched the Zag game last night w/ the 2 traps set on the pedestal. Sometime during the game the mouse returned and the trap did it’s work. Mouse gone. I drove out to camp spot. I crawled into bed for reading. Darn, a mouse appeared. A peanutbutter baited trap was on the dresser. I watched the mouse sit on the trap and eat the peanutbutter off the release. I kept flinching my eyes waiting for the snap and splat. The mouse scored. I got up & rebaited the trap w/ more peanutbutter. Mouse returned and again feasted on the bait. No snap. Finally the mouse triggered the release which caught a rear leg. It crawled away w/ the leg trapped trying to get behind the bed. I grabbed the trap w/ mouse, opened the door, and released it outside. I wonder if I have an outside opening somewhere that allows mice to get in. Or, did they jump in when the door was opened and I didn’t notice? I hope the later.
Mice are amazing animals, had one in our Honda Fit that was less than 6 months old. Mom crawled up the plastic air intake to the filter, made a nest, had babies which somehow made it around the filter into the car. I caught both babies and hucked them out of the car. They had chewed up the lining in the car. Mom died in the filter housing which resulted in god aweful smells in the car. Good luck with the mice.
