Since I'm basically a 'slug' for the next couple of months I've been watching a lot of Blu Ray movies & listening to my favourite CD/SACDs on all 3 of my Axiom systems.
This has gotten me out of heavy duty gardening this spring, ha!

I didn't need this during my healing period. One of my favourite cats - Tuxedo - succumbed to an aggressive form of cancer this week. Three weeks ago he seemed normal & vital, then two weeks ago he started limping with a sore right front leg. He was gone last Monday. We couldn't believe that it went so fast. He adopted us & became a wonderful companion over the 13 years that he spent with us. We miss him dearly... TAM

Sorry for you loss tam, pets are family at least at my house. When our dog died my dad vowed never to have another pet until it could outlive him.

What others think of me is none of my business.

Yup, I hope that my 3 remaining felines can outlive me as they often can make 20 years.
One is 13 so probably has 7 more good years (hopefully) & there is a good chance that at least 2 of them will as they are only 7 years old. If the life expectancy stats are correct, I expect that my wife will outlive me & will be with them till they are gone...

Well no one knows for sure. My dad got cancer 5 years ago and is 80 now and still rides his BMW MC regularly. I fear he may outlive me LOL.

Holy crap - a couple of weeks ago I suffered a 'stroke'. I experienced several 'brain pharts' over a day that included some memory loss, unable to type & some speech anomalies etc.
Luckily within a day everything started coming back to where I'm fully back to normal as far as I can tell. My personal nursing staff (wife & daughter) advised that only 10% of stroke patients come out unscathed so I'm indeed fortunate.
Unfortunately my new motorcycle with only 3 trips on it had to be unregistered, although it seems that I'll be back in the saddle within a month...

Wow thats crazy tam, glad you got through it what a ride this has been for you. Is there anything you can do to prevent further strokes. My aunty had one and she did not fair so well. I hope you can get back to riding before you cant ride anymore. My dad has had to stop riding (83) and his 45k beemer is now worth nothing, people just aren't that into cycles anymore. Keep us updated so we can keep you in our prayers.

I've already been on Aspirin & now added Plavex to the mix for 3 months.
These 2 meds should decrease the chances of any further clots in the brain. Anyway, all is well for the time being...
