We buried another neighbor late last week. He had Covid last Spring and started having mini strokes soon after. He ended up having a BIG one last week.

My youngest daughter’s Father in Law has been having blood clots ever since he had Covid last Christmas.

Then, in today’s news, a deputy in our neighboring county has died from the same sort of thing. https://easttexasradio.com/franklin-county-deputy-dies-suddenly/

This stuff is still around and we still have to be careful with it.

Jim, you right. Klotman and Hotez know their stuff!

Good to hear Cap. Keep going!

OK members,
Thanks to all for your kind words, prayers and support. I'll try and make this as brief as science will allow...so here's the "latest" and what will be my last report on my well-being.
I had my 1st "in-office" appointment with my primary physician yesterday. Here's the abbreviated edition on all things covered.
Good news 1st:
* Covid's gone!
* I can breathe again!
* Hematoma is reduced and partially disbursed!
* My pain levels are within controllable boundaries and liveable!

Bad News 2nd:
* Pancreatitus is inoperable
* Calcifications on my Aorta are inoperable
* Calcifications on my Pancreas are inoperable

What's next:
* Surgery to remove gallstones (immediate)
* Time

Other results worth mentioning are the facts that, none of the above inoperable conditions have manifested themselves and, had I not had the CT scan, we probably wouldn't even know about them! The muscle "tear" seems to be healing itself. Again: A lot of this stuff I'll die "with"...not "of", although life-shorting could be the end result.
I just wanted to thank you, one and all, for your support.
Let's talk about knives!
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Thanks Captain.
Walker

Like you said Cap, good news and bad news, but seems like the good outweighed the bad. We're thankful for that. Hang in there, Pard!

Bouncing back, can't be held back.

Good news.

Capt,
The new gall bladder surgery is basically an out patient procedure so I hope that all goes well.

Also,look uo this on the internet;
Asparagus...cure for cancer.
