Good Morning & happy Saturday. Feeling a bit better. Had a little relapse on the cramps etc; front but not too bad. Got permission from my Cardiologist to take Immodium if the problem persists. Today is Carol's Birthday. Gave her a card with cash to spend ON HER SELF. Gave her strict instructions to spend it on herself and not the apartment. Anna, glad you are getting settled in. Watch out for the gators. Patsy, on the real estate subject. People in the slope are being offered 1 to 3 million dollars for their homes. It is nuts. As soon as the developers get title and permits they practically tear down the old house, not just gut it, and then build 3 or 4 stories with a condo selling for a million or more on each floor! Terry, we have a few couples here in our complex who came from Staten Island. I could talk old times with them about the YMCA Camp Pratt which was on Princess Bay. Judy & Deb, hope you are enjoying the summer weather.

Good morning, friends
Doing laundry now & than getting dressed
To go to Mildred's for the weekend .
Just her & I going shopping, out to eat
& maybe a movie over the weekend.
We're also invited to a friends house in
S.I. Tonite. Looking forward to some fun.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Enjoy!! -
Wish I could report some good news but...... On Thursday I received some good news and some bad news from my Uroligist. There were NO cancer cells in my Urine specimen so my bladder cancer looks like it is still in remission. Will know better in February when he does a Cystoscopy. Meanwhile my PSA more then doubled. It is still very low comparatively speaking but doubling is a danger sign so I will go back on the Hormone shots this coming Thursday! On Friday I saw the Cardiologist who put me in the Hospital and changed my Heart medicine. The medicine is NOT doing what was expected. I will have to make some tough decisions on what to do next if it continues to fail expectations. The so called Golden Years. Guess I bought that gold in Woolworths or Kreskes.

Good morning friends
Warren prayers for you!
Trust The Lord to make the right decision for you. Take care of yourself. Love to Carol.
Hi everyone,
Enjoy your day!!
I had a great time at Mildred's this past weekend. We visited friends for dinner, got to see my sister Angela before I left NJ
& me & Millie did lots of shopping!
Fun time!! -
Good morning friends
Have a great day!!
Warren, hope you're feeling well. -
Patsy, thank you for your concern. Actually I am not feeling too bad right now. This afternoon I have to get a hormone shot in the BUTT. That has some side effects but nothing I have not dealt with before. Had one of those annoying calls yesterday from a third party telling me I have a balance due on the hospital bill. I find that quite upsetting. I have my Insurance forms showing me I do not owe anything. I have had this happen before and they keep insisting you owe even after you send copies of the insurance payments! Tomorrow I hope to find out what we are going to do about my heart medicine. Is it working or not? That is the question. If it is not, then that whole hospital stay and the price (HIGH) of the new medicine was a waste. And then, what do we do next? Different medicine? Another Ablation heart surgery? Hopefully I will have some answers shortly.
34,000 at the little league game last night in Williamsport PA. 13,500 at the major league game last night between the Rays and Tigers at Tropicana field in St Petersburg. The ball park is in the wrong place. Hard to get to from the most populous areas around here. The ballpark itself is fine. Comfortable in all weather. No posts to hinder your view of the game. It is domed. Absolutely necessary in Florida between the heat and rainstorms. Hopefully they will come up with an answer before the team moves to Las Vegas or another city!!!! -
Hi Warren
I know the right decisions concerning your health will be made.
I said a prayer for you.
Hope Carol is well.
Keep us posted, please.
Have a great weekend!!

Hi Patsy.....how are you? Had a busy weekend.

Have a great day -
Hello All,
In a sad mood. One of our friends here at The Courtyards Independent Living Facility passed away last night. Came as a shock. We were at a party here last night and walked home with her & her husband. She was complaining of a pain in her eye. Left them at the elevator at 8:30pm and we went on to our apartment. This AM when Carol saw her husband come into breakfast she went to him to ask how "Terry" was doing. He then told Carol that Terry died last night. Quite a shock! Please, do not ignore unusual pain or discomfort especially in or around your eyes.
I will see my Cardiologist tomorrow and try & find out what exactly is going on with my medication change etc:. Weather here the last couple of days has been hot but drier than earlier this month when we had thunderstorms every evening.
Typical August Florida weather. I hope Anna has learned how to deal with the Florida sun. You can only be exposed to it some days 10-15 minutes before burning. Sun Block Lotion is a must if you are going to be out in the sun any length of time. Carol has been having a bit of a rough time with her Migraines and digestive problems. Please take advantage of all the days you feel well.
Despite all the upset I have been having I must admit that I am not feeling too bad at all. -
Good morning, friends
Warren so sorry about your friends passing. I said a prayer.
Glad you are doing well. Say hi to Carol.
Stay well.
Hi Judy
Looking forward to seeing you guys at the reunion. Hope all is well. -
Good morning, friends
"Happy Labor Day"!
Enjoy your weekend -
Good morning, friends
"Happy Labor Day".
Hope the weather holds up.
Talk to you soon! -
It is Labor Day. Thanks to all the HONEST Labor leaders for battling to get benefits for their workers & their survivors. Labor Unions get a bad rep because some of the leaders were dishonest. Is there any field where there are not a few rotten apples in the barrel? People, especially younger people do not realize what it was like to work and not reap the benefits of their Labor. Florida is a Right To Work State and Labor Unions are few & far between. Yesterdays paper showed that Florida is still way behind most of the country in wages & benefits Hmmmmm!
