Duck Pond Redneckery


They still haven't figured out this low blood pressure. On the right it shows the last 5 readings and the time.

my late dad had congestive heart failure. his BP was very low as well. can't say i recall the readings.

i just did a google search on "some" of the reasons for very low BP, and they list 10 possible reasons.

i hope they get to find out what the hell is going on, otherwise maybe a more experienced hospital, with REAL doctors, that know thier shit..?????

I will ask about an angiogram next time a doctor is in the room.

They seem to leaning towards her inactive lifestyle preceding the stroke, and that medication error.

They still have to give her that erroneously prescribed medication for two more days, because they have to taper her down. Can't stop it cold turkey. She's on a low dose now.

And that drug has a half-life of 36-42 hours. That doesn't mean that 72-84 hours after the last dose, it'll be gone from her system though.

Each 36-42 hour period cuts the remaining amount in half.

So 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, etc.

But by Saturday the amount of the last, low dose left in her system should be negligible.
 
I've been losing weight lately. I went down two holes in my belt and am out of holes. I keep forgetting to drill another hole in it when I'm at home, so the past few days I've had to use my carabiner to tie two belt loops together on my side or they'll fall down while I'm walking.

It don't get much more redneck than that right there.

Do you carry a knife? I used the tip of my buck knife to make a new belt hole. I just kind of turned it like a screw driver until there was a hole and then flipped the belt over to do the other side.
 
Which facility is this again?

Rush University Medical Center. The building with the 6th floor missing is "the Atrium".

Carving a hole in a belt with a buck knife is probably a tad more redneck than using a carabiner to tie two belt loops together.

Not that it matters.. One time I went trucking for a week using a piece of coat hangar wire to connect the belt to the buckle when it broke on me and my schedule was too tight to hunt down a new one.

That's somewhere beyond redneck. That's approaching banjo music territory. 😁
