It has been over three months since I last posted. I doing some whining and move on.
Back in October, I went to sleep on a Sunday night. I woke the next morning screaming in pain. My wife didn’t know what to do to help me so she called 911.
The ambulance took me to the ER. They checked me out and sent me to the hospital.
I was in the hospital for six days. On the fourth day. I had a near death experience. I was laying on my bed, and the nurse left me check the main monitor in the other room. She left instantly and came back with three doctors and several nurses.
They all were checking my blood pressure monitor. What happened was that my blood pressure dropped from a normal 125/65 in less that five minutes to 80/50. They did some things, and my blood pressure went back to normal eventually.
I was told later that I was going to die if it kept dropping.
Two days later I was sent to a rehab facility. There I learned to walk again with a walker. It was slow and painful. I progressed a little each day. I was working with PT and OT specialists. They did a wonderful job helping me.
I got out of rehab 30 days later, and was sent home. That was a total of one month!
I have done a lot of progress since then. This is my first time at the computer in three months.
I thank all the people who worked with me to get me back to a living person.

Michael Travis Leake, a U.S. expatriate and former paratrooper living in Russia, was arraigned on Saturday in Moscow, according to the State Department.
I have been following Putin’s war in Ukraine, and I am amazed that he is still trying to win. There are no winning plans left. He will lose and be dethroned as leader of Russia.
He needs to stop and have peace talks.
Unless...he uses Nuclear weapons. Then it is WWIII.
I have fighting a bad hip situation. I was all set to have surgery, and now I am not so sure. I will be going to a pain control clinic in nine days to see if they can get me to a tolerance level. If they can i will not have the surgery. doctors feel that my age is a big factor.
Just finished an interview with the daughter of a WWII nurse. Some gripping thoughts there. The nurse, Velma Sundet was a hero to many soldiers during the war. She saved many lives.
I only have one other interview left. That is with a Gold Star father. I will be talking to him this week.

Regions of southern Ukraine that Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally annexed saw more heavy fighting Saturday as Ukrainian soldiers pressed a ground campaign to recapture one, and Russian forces exploded long-range missiles and Iranian-made drones in another.
China on Sunday opens a twice-a-decade party conference at which leader Xi Jinping is expected to receive a third five-year term that breaks with recent precedent and establishes himself as arguably the most powerful Chinese politician since Mao Zedong.
With reinforcements needed for the war in Ukraine, Russian police and military press-gangs are snatching fighting-age men from cafes, offices and homeless shelters.
The party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army, needs to “safeguard China’s dignity and core interests,” Xi Jinping said, referring to a list of territorial claims and other issues over which Beijing says it is ready to go to war.
South Korea’s presidential office is on an around-the-clock alert amid expectations that the North may soon conduct its seventh nuclear test, a government official told news agencies on Sunday.
