I Think We're "Closing In" On Halloween, Y'all!

By Bill Craig
So first, here's a picture of "The German Boy" after his sleep study!



Puffy eyes, no make-up, no lipstick, no eye-shadow, hair all matted-up, but I had some GREAT dreams. *LOL*

We'll know the results in two weeks, but my Polysomnographer told me I entered into "severe apneic territory" several times during the night!

Pulmonary Oxyen Saturation dropped to 72% at one time. (Normal for me is 92-96% or greater). 72% is heading toward respiratory arrest.

So this is the latest I am doing about this!

I still have so much to give!

Okay Eff all of that shit! Just help me take care of feeding the 4-footers, please?

My first thought when I read your sleep study review was that you must be REALLY tired. That could be adding to your depression-- or the depression could be in part responsible for your sleep problems. I hope you get this solved soon.

About 6 years ago, I developed a condition for which I had to take prednisone every day. During those 4 years, I put on 80 lbs and developed problems with my sleep. Did the sleep study, and then used the CPAP machine for 2 years.

My condition went into remission (for want of a better word), I lost some weight-- though not all of it as yet, and I'm now off the machine and finally getting some good rest.

I wish you a speedy return of good sleep, and recovery from the other problems that have been plaguing you.

P.S. When I was badly sleep-deprived, I often felt as though I was becoming senile: forgetting things, people, words, making mistakes. I'm definitely better now, so you can only imagine how inept I must have been during that period. :)

P.P.S. I've been voting for Paulding Humane Society every day, often twice a day (from the office)

Whoa! I think I scared everbody off with that picture! Only 9 views today!

Margaret, stress on top of stress is wearing me out and making me tired.

Thanks for sharing that part of your life with me/us. I know it cannot have been a pleasant time for you either!

Today I picked up applications for Medicaid and Food Stamps. Also checked on and ordered a package from Angelfood Ministries. (28 bucks for a month's worth of 3 prepared meals a day!)

I want to be as less a burden than I can on my sweet wife, so at least this way, she can save on feeding me!

I miss being able to help others, especially the 4 footed ones as I once did.

I have cast a lot of my pride to the winds, and now I'm just "maintaining".

Thanks for your note, Hon. I am always happy to hear from you and you and the others REALLY help to keep my spirits going!

Thanks!

PS: Thanks also for voting and feeding!

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

My EOAD Support FORCE

==================================================================================== I am so very fortunate to have some wonderful friends making this journey with me, and here are just three of them: That's me with my grandson Julian at the Georgia Aquarium, next is my Grand Niece Madison born just this year, and the third picture is my Grand Nephew Matthew.I call them "The Nukes" (for "nuclear family"), and as I add entries to this blog, I invite you to send me a picture to add to my EOAD "FORCE". I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in which I told her that heretofore seemingly insignificant things have suddenly become very important to me, and these "things" are "people". Wonderful people such as my EOAD buddy "Tom T" whom I met through the message board of alz.org, and whose comments you have read on this blog. Also my friend from "Down Under" who calls himself "The Loaded Dog", but who's real

President Biden Plans To End Covid Emergency On May 11th

 Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye.  So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here  are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from  January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do
