It was a 7,1 earthquake

This wasn't taken today. Today I had to work but this past weekend I tried out my new hybrid kayak on the river out back of my place in Maine.




Takes a bit to get out there:




The only ones objecting were the beavers!

The hilarious part is that it's taken me a lifetime of hard work to get to where I can afford such things and now i'm too old and busted up to do most of it.

Had one of my worst days ever at the hospital. It started at 09:00 at the West Valley VA clinic. West Valley City was created out of four smaller communities back in 1980, and is the second largest city in Utah. I was there for my monthly meeting with the Diabetes Nurse. I had also scheduled my weekly Podiatry appointment for 11:45. There was plenty of time to make the drive.

Tuesday I had been up to the main VA for an appointment with the Liver Clinic, and they had seen that my stomach was badly swollen again. They had drained a lot of water (3.5 liters, or 8 pounds) a few weeks ago, but now it was even worse. They saw that I was to be up there Wednesday, and the doctor said he could fit me in either before or after the Podiatry appointment.

I got to the main VA shortly after 10:00, so I headed for the GI clinic. I had to wait awhile, but finally the doctor got me hooked up to the needles and tubes. This time they took out 6 liters of fluid, for a weight loss of 14 pounds. I then made my way down to the Podiatry clinic, arriving there right at noon. I sat...and sat, and sat. Read every magazine they had. Finally at 13:10 they called my name. It turned out they weren't backlogged, they had just all gone to lunch. Then they had to consult on some stuff. By the time I got out of there it was 14:30.

So I was in one clinic or another for five-and-a-half hours. Without having eaten anything.

At least right now I don't have another appointment until the 22nd.

On a similar note.....next Monday 15th I've my annual health check closely followed by my annual foot screening examination then followed by my quarterly podiatry appointment.

As my father told me on many occasions over the years "Whoever invented old age should have been shot".

My Uncle has a similar saying...What ever you do in life don't grow old.

He is in his early 90's and in part from a few things in better health than his brother my father in his early 80's he has to take so much medication it affects him badly.
