Monday, Monday..... That odd feeling, one that just hangs…

 Photo of the day:

 


So for today:

I am approaching year 87 (AND THINK TOO MUCH!), I have been fortunate WITH my health. NO serious health problems.

I had a tough stomach problem a year or so ago. I spent a day in the hospital; they ran some serious tests, one ? included a machine, do not remember what it was. They could not find an answer. Later I did get to see my Dr at the VA and in less than 5 mins diagnosed I had IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) with a prescription  he gave, the problem cleared up In less than a day.

I ‘enjoyed’ Covid a couple years ago; started losing weight. I was around 160 lbs. After the bout with Covid I continued slowly to lose weight. I am now down to around 130 lbs and feeling a little strange. Lightheaded, sorta dizzy. One cannot ‘NOT’ think “WHAT THE HECK IS CAUSING THIS?”



Well, this week I just might find out. My blood work is done, I am supposed to see my ‘super’ doctor this Thurs.  I will then get a simple answer that is NOT EARTH SHAKING.

I am of course a little anxious. I will be able to quit self-diagnosing myself as: ’Two weeks or six months to live,’ etc. LOL I have kept very busy trying to distract my imaginative mind. But my head is hard to harness, just ask Sherry!

AND Finally:

Love you guys thanks for reading a crazy guys thoughts.

Oh, Jack! I totally understand. In fact, we're going through something similar over here -- the results of Tom's CT scan were troubling, so his doc is doing a bronchoscopy and biopsy Wednesday morning. It's darn hard not to worry, but I'm including you (and Sherry) in my prayers.

I'm praying your test turns out good. Here's hoping all is well with you! 130 is 10 pounds lighter than me. I haven't weighed that in years.
