A quickie, More Tomorrow

It has been a strange week or two. I ended up in the ER last week because of atrial fibrillation. It's not bad but it has caused times of zero energy. Long story somewhat short, pills and more pills, some of 'em inhibit clotting. Which make my normal "If I'm not bleeding I'm not working" even bloodier. I tried to fill my shoes with blood this morning after dropping the bath vanity top on my shins.

BTW, the bath room re-do is almost completed, the vanity top is in glue up, the tile is down, the room is painted and just waiting for me to finish the vanity.  Maybe finished in a couple or three days.

The mail man left a couple of nice things today...A new dovetail saw from Bad Axe and a name stamp from Finest Engraving LLC. I've wanted a name stamp for awhile, they are not easy to find.

Here is a photo of both the stamp and the new saw.

More in a post when I have some time,

  2. Thanks Sylvan,

    The AF is just a function of getting old, at least now I know why I was getting fatigued at times instead of just being lazy.

  3. Glad to read you survived the ER visit. I didn't know that AF caused fatigue but I did know about the pills you have to take for it.

  5. Thanks guys,

    It's just part of being older than dirt. Biggest problems are it doubles the number of pills I have to remember to take, tough when you are a forgetful old fool, and the cuts bleed longer as I expect Ralph can attest to.

    At least I know what is happening.

  6. Get yourself one of those pills container divided in days/AM-PM or whatever you required. It is a lot easier to keep track and avoid dangerous double dose if you forget. Learned this one the hard way with my blood pressure meds :-)

    Take care of yourself and remember blood corrode metal fast, another of those things I somehow learned...

  7. Bob,

    I'm lucky so far, everything is once a day so after making coffee I shake a pill out and put the bottle on the counter top. Once all bottles are out of the cabinet I take the pills in hand leaving the bottles out to remind me. Then I put the bottles away after finishing coffee. Works so far, hate to think of taking more, I'd need your container.
