Ok till next Post-it Over an out frum da’ Q

I have had no internet for 2 weeks an have to play catch-up here.

dis’ one goes in my Quarked Photography page

 

Whether er not 2 he still has 2 go inevetibly so lol

Welp, no matter what the weather is doing he must drive across the 4 corners 3 times a week now like it is a job so………without hesitation!…it’s a job {she} says…an da’ satisfaction comes in knowing ya made it home alive

“one more day”

Although i do not earn $$$ i simply earn life by being able to accomplish going to my dialysis….My arm is sore! a lot…an  Sumtimes i becomes light headed!….(not good) is where it is good when {SHE} sumtimes takes the wheel! lol….i can only hope anyhow…she will be takin’ the wheel a lot in the future!…

     I think i need a car like the airplane i used to fly… one that has 2 sets of controls or yeah like my trike; where either person on board can take control of the aircraft….it would be pert kewl…….

     Have thought a lot how to design such a car in the garage in the spare time sumday ..

sumday if i got the time…i have the car…jest need the time an the $ for the parts lol…oh! an the health also?…..

   ~~~~White knucklin it! river on da’ right road on da’ left~~~~

 

we shall see what i am capable of doing in the near future…….would be a fun projekt that will prolly never happen anyhew now…although it would be jest the ticket an helpful cure for a simple problem 4 a guy like me..with occasional…..{LATHARGY}

..So that way if i were driving with {her} or anyone else, when it came upon me… instead of me having to pull over an take a break if i were alone…{she} could jest take over an get us to our destination safely!………..

…..

I am enjoying every 130 mile round trip i take to Durango more an more in a way!…i am forced to get out an see the world a bit and to be a part of it instead of laying in pain at home…it is becoming like a 3 day a week job & it is helping me feel better also……..i no longer wake up with morning sickness as often as i used to it used to happen a lot!…kicked this 60 yr old guys arse down a bit it did…..polycystic kidney disease an dialysis..now i seem to be eternally tired an worn out…..whew!..

..But what i do so possibly think is? I have to question how long i can …not only afford to but …..simply physically be able to keep on keepin’ on driving myself?…. that’ll be the day huh…when king driver has to be driven a lot 😦 So, it’s on with the dialysis 3 times a week for life..wheew what a trip really….Rain – Snow – er shine..is a must do program now that i cannot escape, and now retired guy here cannot retire ever!  it is what it is! thats bout it!…a new full-time JOB fer’ LIFE!..

…..

Never thought my life would end up this way really …

    So, anyhow in the future i see {her} kicking my ass into shape again ..and also being my right arm..an doing some of the driving….i pray {wait} lol bout this one a lot these days…cuz i know i am aging …one day @ a time lol …an jest have to learn how to rely on others for help @ i have been the last couple of months……without i guess…i would simply die within weeks the doctors say….

..

     A note to ALL whom have helped me get thru this last month in all ways….socially, spiritually, financially, physically an in every other creative way that has come about…dis’ has been a sure course in miracles for me!…Thanks so very much to all of u whom have lended a hand in any way to mr. weed here!!! i shall be 4 ever eternally grateful for ya all! – an i would have failed if i did not have ur help ! thats a fact so thank UUUUUU!

…

….

You know whom ya are………so between him an them an he an she well, i have been literally saved by many others this time round! frum my lady to family an friends! and all the wunderful doctors an nurses in the 4 corners that have layed thier hands on me! I than  YOU!

    STAy safe 2 one an all frum da’ Q dis here ol moonsoon season in da’ rockies…..the most fun time of the year to me…Summertime storms an whatnot daily weather changes are phenomenal and fun to experience. In one way er another……..

      so once AGAIN thanks to  anyone whom has helped me to stay alive as of lately!….@ life is what it is fer each an evry one of us…all one can do is go along an do life .one day @ a time …sumtimes one minute at a time…and do the best one can!

in Q’s life it is a fight an a job jest to stay alive! yep!

a full time job it is staying alive now!!!

wtf? ever happened to retirement i guess i don’t get that! geez!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well; a fistulagram or a plastiogram..is another vein mapping lewk at my arm..where they inject dye into …an inspect all the damage an see if i have collapsed blood vessels or blood clots that are not healing!….oh did i say that it was also painful…and i needed a driver an could not drive for 24 ……..jeezzzzzzzzzzzz.

well the head nurse i had today was jest awesome..an i am sure i oput a smile on her face for the day!..i begged the doc to let me take her home with me an she’d be my driver …an medicare would pay for it but he wasn’t buying it lol..she jest laughed! was werth the taunt! haha……so this awesome young lady well, she stuck with me frum beginning to end an made all the diff in the world, i was venturing into..a werld of pain an sensations i hadn’t evr felt whew! i will forevr be grateful for her kind an awesome an highly skilled services…………….wow she stuck me jest fine today………in the other arm that doesn’t even have the fistula.she did so awesome TWICE ……..once in da upper an a main one down by wrist for the IV! 🙂 ……
So, bruised up an bandaged up again i am ……….but the bruises are frum last saturday ..not today!…today i managed right fine.but my arm is like real heavY! pain level is bout a 6 .not as bad as it was for the last week recovering frum the infiltrations ….out of 14 dialysis days…i have had 11 days of it werking …an 3 fails………..so lets see if after this heals an i go back to dialysis they will do better next time round with me…….when i go back to my 3 days a week routime..
This week i meet with the transplant services team an see what i have to do to qualify for a transplant! we shall see……i will prolly need dental werk an skin problems cured by then they say ….so another we shall see….an next week or so i get to meet the gurls with the knives lol…..who want to cut me up in 5 places for basil cell skin cancers……..so much fun….an now my nissan blows a power steering belt an runs hot now an i have to fix.an my truck is still broke also….frum a collision with an elk on night at 55 mph!…So, if i feel like it i will werk on it the next few days.an hopefully get a back-up gong here for transportation!..My live donor is all for it an we are of similar genetics so i believe it will possibly werk..another we shall see deal…an coming up with the $$$ to get her to denver etc etc whan the time arrives an afford her the meds necessary to make it all compatable an also me 2 the meds are something we might not be able to afford without a donate er fund me page..another we shall see huh!
