    I haven't posted for a while because of poor health and a shattered elbow. I have limited movement but I am now back at work and doing ok.

    Missed all of ya

    I am now seeing another doc and hope something can be done for my arm. My heart is better after 4 heart attacks between april and June my god what a mess. I am back working 60 hours a week and the heat here in TX is lousy with the humidity and all.

    I am a strong old bugger though. Careful you Brits with that expression lol

    Glad to hear from you! Be careful in that heat. My brother in law had to go to the emergency room last week and have intravenous fluids. They said if he'd waited a bit longer his kidneys would have shut down.

    As regards my elbow the doc gave me meds to slow my heart down and I passed out at home and shattered my elbow. They can't operate because of the Plavix which makes your blood thin and the condition of my heart. So now I have limited movement in my right arm and can not sleep at night without help rx that is and pain pills

    If you have ever hit your crazy bone in your elbow that is what it feels like all the time. I can't work on cars or hold a phone with my right hand or even cut up food but I am learning how to cope with my left.

    So now call me lefty hahahaha!

    (((awe)))

    We never got to officially meet at the last crawfest.

    I totally know the pain of a broken elbow. I broke mine years ago working at a restaurant. Had to have pins and wires installed to get it to heal, as the tip broke off....so much pain (worse then 16 hours of labor and 2 spinals). I didn't have 4 heart attacks to deal with besides... So sorry!!!!!!

    Glad you posted and hope your health improves...
