Busy, Busy...Or Why I Haven't Had Time To Blog

October 13, 2009 — This month has been a busy one so far. I am not taking the time to blog much right now as there is so much going on...not an excuse just a fact.

I continue to have medical issues that crop up. For instance, the other day as I was substitute teaching and I noticed some problem with my "plumbing system" (if you know what I mean). I went to the VA clinic the next day and sure enough a urine test confirmed there was a problem I needed to have looked at immediately. So Wanda and I had to make a quick trip to the VA hospital at Temple, TX that afternoon and I had my bladder scoped out. Nothing wrong there, so they have scheduled a CT scan to look at my kidneys and put me on some antibiotics.

Then for longer that I can remember I have had problems with my feet. It started way back in my Navy days and I have had them looked at I don't know how many times both while I was in the Navy and since I have been out. Nothing that has been done has ever made any difference. So, I go again today to see a VA podiatrist. I am hoping some measure of relief can be found as they are really getting to be a "pain in the foot" so to speak.

Tomorrow I will have a CT scan done to look at the nodules in my chest that were discovered back in June. It has been the plan all along by my pulminologist to do a CT scan at this time to see if there has been any growth or major change. I am anxious for this to happen, the CT I mean, and to know what is going on.

So the parts seem to continue to wear out. I guess that is to be expected as you grow older. Outside my medical issues I have begun developing a web site for my VFW Post. I am not a professional web site designer/developer, but I do view it as a hobby and it's something I love to do. I will be advertising the site here in the blog when it is complete and online.

Well there just hasn't been much time left to blog. That's okay though as I was getting way to political there for awhile and bit on the grumpy side. I've told myself all along that this blog needs to be about those things in my life that really matter. I think I have been doing justice to that so far and I don't want to get off task...it's what really matters!
