pictures finally!
a weekend of adventure!!!
well ive been alittle out of pocket lately. Seems this business that life gives you kinda takes over and first thing you know, you don't do anything but hurry to this or that and go to work. Maybe that's what vacations are for....or heart attacks...
okok so im 55, and in great shape, and just passed with flying colors, the heart check up, and tread mill test and all of that. I walk an average of 12k steps per day, not counting the steps, stairs, and ladders I climb. Part of my average work day may be spent on a roof top, or on my knees. But despite my physical work life, my rugged outdoorsyness, and super hero aura, I actually had a heart attack last sunday. I know right?? It was very painful, and I apparently am quite funny while high on morphine. In the ER room, I told the 5 nurses working on me, that it was every mans dream to have 5 women take his pants off...which they were doing. I also told them not to cut my GOOD work paints off of me... I must say the helicopter ride is over rated, and probably way to expensive, as the little horizontal "sleeper" they placed me in with the 6 point harness was not very comfy. not to mention barfing to do the amount of morphine they gave me. Anyway, an hour later, I had 2 stints in and surgery was over, and I was in the room. My main nurse, "Crystal" was absolutely perfect! I told her before she gave me shots in the stomach...(not rabies!) she should bring 2 needles, cuz Id probably bend the first one with my abs of steel. many nurses laughed at this statement.... I didn't think it was THAT funny... Thank you Oklahoma Heart Hospital, and Crystal.!
So I have some extra time on my hands as Im not allowed to go back to work just yet. So nearly dying...well I always wondered what itd be like to do that. you know, like..how Id react to it...I found out. ha. I asked God to just take me, as I was ready, mostly due to the pain. I guess that was kinda chicken hearted to say, but anyway, He made me live another day. Im not sure why, but I can just guess I have something or things yet undone.
So I have my to do list here....vacuum, home depot, etc. Wait... housework will be working ...and that is not allowed per drs orders! Today I intend to get out of this house though! Even if it kills me! lol. So have you wondered what your last day on earth would be like? Mine would have been nice... nice weather, mowing the yard, being productive... I remember I was ready to go. I wonder if the reader of this blog is? Seems the best a man can do, is to be productive, and enjoy as much of the day as what it brings, and not worry much about tomorrow. Just keep going I guess. The pace will change as I age, or so my knees tell me. But notice the sunshine, or something good... like grandchildren, pretty women, I don't know...sports cars. lol. okok... grand kids... laughter...
I am trying to figure out how to put more pics on this thing...but I only could do it once.....
