Heart Troubles

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Welcome back!

I have figured out why some of the tests were run on my husband.

He has heart trouble. He had a stent put in back in 2001. He has had heart attacks, and wears a nitroglycerin patch every day. If I had the money, I would purchase a device that could save his life, or someone’s else’s life.

It is called AED, or ARTIFICIAL EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR. They come in different sizes and with different costs. The link that I put in my article showed some that cost 1245$, and some that cost more. Those things are disigned that they can be used by someone who does not have any training at all, and they could be used to save a life.

On another note….

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

When we had gone to the doctor’s office the other day, I found a newspaper to read. It is called SENIOR NEWS. This was the January edition. I was scanning it for information that might be interesting (even though I do NOT consider myself to be a senior..snort) I found some jokes in it that were funny. Here is one of them….

compiled by Susan Capps

An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years.
He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice: picnic tables, horseshoe courts, a volleyball court, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young teenage girls skinny-dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence, and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, “We’re not coming out until you leave! Go away you dirty old man!”
Holding the bucket up he said.” I’m here to feed the alligator.”

Old men can still think fast.

I read this aloud to my husband and he , of course, snickered. A nearby young man joined in and said that the old farmer wasn’t fair. My reply was that it was HIS land, and the girls were trespassing on it. He did mention any possible tresspassing signs, but my reply was that the girls knew that THEY did not own the land. Either way, my husband and I thought the joke was funny. After all, the girls did get off easy with only a little embarrassment, the farmer could have brought a shotgun to hunt. :)
