Update on Tinner

Shop vac and material sitting under 6" of snow yesterday during my visit. Sad.

Tests yesterday weren't too encouraging. Pacemaker only thing keeping me going. As the turned it down, I slowed down. Tester even showed wife how she could turn me off and on like a dimmer switch and offered to give her a remote for it if she wanted it. :woohoo: Upper heart chamber not registering on EKG, and the dreaded 'transplant' word entered the conversations a few times. We'll see. Next 2 weeks will be lots of tests, visits, etc. Definitely going in on a Mon. when a full, 'refreshed' team of Docs will be on hand to 'handle anything', and not too worry.?? :blink: Most minimal procedure will be implanting a PM, or PM/ Defirbrilator device. :woohoo:

Dang Frank, from what I can see from the pics, you need a pacemaker on your eyes.

These are the pix I couldn't post before. I wasn't able to take a pic when I went back because somebody was in the roof with the view, but I could see the lumps in the same places.

A side effect from the operation, or PM procedure is my prescription glasses are nearly worthless now and my l. hand feels like it has carpal tunnel on steroids. Nearly worthless. :ohmy:

I haven't been keeping up in the forum very much this last month or so but man, Frank, I'll say this: when fate has tried messing with my eyes or hands in the past, which it has, I have always felt extremely hard-pressed. Hand/eye coordination and spatial relationships, where and how we are moving around and what we are doing while we're there is right at the crux of our special place here in the universe. You are proving yourself one very tough hombre and I am genuinely impressed with the power of your mind and how you keep things in perspective. Whatever you're dealt, the person you have become, the person your life has forged, is right on it and right there. Strength with feeling. That is something I have always aspired to and it makes me very proud to witness it in you. I look up humbly to your equanimity and I'm pulling for you and your wife every day.

Thanks for the kind words Egg! :) I'm fine, wife is falling apart. I'll be OK and non-corrected vision is decent, so we'll see.

e·qua·nim·i·ty ˌekwəˈnimədē/ noun mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation. "she accepted both the good and the bad with equanimity"

It shur nuff sounded good, but i wuz clueless.

Well said. I like it when I got to pull out the dictionary.

Well, the wife lost it yesterday. Her meltdown lasted about 8 hours or so and she didn't sleep either. :( I would rather have gone through the surgery again as opposed to dealing with that. :unsure:

The stress of uncertainty, especially for the female gender of the human race, is a real challenge . . . as you recover and demonstrate that you intend to be around for the long haul, she will recover as well. Keeping you and yours in our thoughts and prayers.

Well, more testing today. Had a few Wed. also. Back in on Mon. for consult, more tests and a pacemaker install is expected to be done next week too. It could even be Mon. Another 6 weeks of inactivity and no reaching allowed. :( Dropped in on some of my nurses and they seemed glad to see me and all said I was steadier on my feet. I can hike all around Costco for an hour or so to exercise and pretend I'm shopping. B)

Hey Frank Hang in there and keep on looking at the mistakes of the roofers. It will make you mad enough to want to get back up there and that will keep you with us.

Keep your chin up. Now you can organize all your photos or upgrade your website or invent something. Just don't reach for anything!

Organizing the pix! Check! Rebuilding the site? Not yet, though I have WebEasy to do so. I just can't wrap around it yet.

Hello Frank,

Glad to hear you are doing well. I have been sick myself on and off since you called. Could not fully recover because of some dental work I need done. I will give you a call next week.
