Found out a week ago the my friends 86 year old mother was rushed to the hospital with a heart rate of 180 beats per second. Installed pacemaker and thankfully she is doing well.
Found out today that another friends father just past away and yet another friend has been diagnosed with lung cancer. In his early 40's, hopefully they caught it early. As far as I know he never smoked a day in his life, so it goes to show you just never know what's lifes going to throw at you.
 
Spending nearly an hour trying to figure out how to take a LCD display panel off a controller so I can swap it with another, and then realizing when I was done swapping it that I had soldered the replacement onto the wrong side of the circuit board. Massive fail, look both ways to see if anyone else noticed. Is it Friday yet.
 
A new neighbour has apparently acquired a dog.
I know this, because the ****ing thing has been barking and whining almost continuously for the past eighteen hours or more, stuck inside the house, whilst new neighbour is nowhere to be seen.
Woke me up early this morning, and prevented me getting to sleep tonight.
Methinks new neighbour will be having a visit, once I eventually get some bl**dy sleep !!!
 
Ring finger on right hand has been catching and popping for the last couple weeks when I try to bend/straighten it. Worse in the evenings and mornings of if I have not been doing anything with it for a while. Googles symptoms last night and looks to be "Trigger Finger", form of arthritis. Treatments include rest, splint, stretches, cortozone injections, or doctor numbing the area and stabbing around with a needle to break up a bump that my be present.
No bump, but I sure as heck am not seeing a doctor before my ice fishing trip this week! Will have to wait.

Just one ailment after another with me, ah, the joys of aging!
 
Got into camp last night and over dinner buddy said the day shift foreman was fired at the end of last week. What heinous act caused one of the best foremen the company has to be let go.....he swore at an employee. I guess the snowflake filed a Hurt Feelings Report. The guys on his crew say he is a shifty weasel, not at all liked
 
Just found out an hour ago that the old timer that owns the land I hunt on passed away this weekend. Spent many hours talking life and having a good time with him and his family. Was more like a family member than anything else to me. He will be missed greatly.
Pretty shiTT% month so far. Hopefully that's the end of the bad news for a while.

Now to top it all off my Doctor just called and said my A1C test was too high and I'll need to start taking another med/meds to control it. It's just keeps getting better. Maybe just stay in bed until the new month starts. I addition to getting to see an orthopedic surgeon this friday to see if I need surgery on my finger or just a big cortisone shot in the knuckle.
 
I'm glad you don't live here. All of your ailments could be contagious.
 
List just keeps getting longer, furnace went out last night. Now I'm just waiting for the 2 Ton ACME Anvil to fall on my head and hopefully get it all over with.

Very few of my service calls were completed when I took vacation, but when the company allowed varied vacation days, I began to take fridays as vacation days and it made a four day week seem great. One of my contacts at a customer, had a heart attack and was out for four weeks. When I asked about a problem he was handling, they said it's on his desk. Fortunately, he did not have another attack when he came back and found the giant pile of work on his desk.
 
To fix that A1C you might want to try a ketogenic diet. Which basically means verry low carb( below 30 or 40 grams a day).
I had the same issue and the keto fixed me right up. There's a few things you have to watch on a ketogenic diet though. Drink extra water and up your salt intake( unless its already high)(this is because its easy to become dehydrated on a ketogenic diet as carbs help the body assimilate water).
This is easily overcome by just drinking a bit more water however. The extra salt is to prevent electrolight depletion. Dont need to go crazy with the extra salt or water just a bit more than before.
Also ketogenic diets tend to be somewhat deficient in potassium, magnesium, and manganese so it's a good idea to supplement with these on a ketogenic diet.
Eating little or no carbs takes a little getting used to but its better than going on those drugs for the rest of your life which have some bad side effects after long term use.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
