  1. Here's the latest. I had to get her to the hospital Saturday. She has a UTI & her Potassium was low which made her act like a zombie. She remembers nothing about last Saturday. The meds are working so she is getting over it. Home health started today with 4 people coming in for evaluations. They will be coming twice a week until the end of the January. I have hired a nurse's aide to help 3-4 days a week for a few hours also. I guess we wait to see what everyone recommends after all of this is over. I want to thank everyone again for their well wishes & prayers. There is still a long way to go, but one step at a time. At least I now feel I will have the information needed to make the right decisions when the time comes. I hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas! John
  2. Things have not improved yet but it is still too soon. We got a letter today from the hospital stating that she has a 4mm nodule on her left lung. It could be cancer and it could not be. She has to follow up with her Dr. on Tuesday. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with and go through. John
  3. Things have not been as I had hoped in the last several months. My wife has now had neck surgery due to two disk pushing against her spinal cord. There is a fifteen percent chance of improvement in her mobility which is all but gone. She is now is transitional care trying to get some strength back. It has been recommended that she go into a nursing home due to the lack of her ability to take care of herself. In a nutshell about the only thing she can do is feed herself. I thank everyone who has been praying and ask that you continue. I'll try to drop by more often. John
  4. I have things going on that is taking my time for now. I'll be back, I just don't know when. John
  5. To let everyone know I will MIA for awhile. My wife was carjacked in our driveway last night by two thugs. One was armed and pulled the pistol on her. He tried to force her into the trunk and she refused so he punched her and knocked her to the ground. She screamed for me and I flew out the door as they were backing out of the driveway. I started for the car thinking it had somehow gotten away from her and rolled over her. She yelled and told me they had a gun so I went back to cover my wife. She said she was okay so i ran into the house to get my phone and called the police. They were there within 5 minutes. I had grabbed a blanket to put over her as it is cold out now. The police helped get her up and into the house where they took the report. An investigator came out and took his report also. They said the city, county, and state police are looking for the car but as of right now we have not heard anything back. I have been up for 27 1/2 hours so far and still have a long way to go. I have to change the locks on the doors, go to the bank because her debit card was in the car, and call the insurance company. She has quite a bit if skin torn from each knee and her left ankle is swollen and hurts her a lot. She already had a doctor appointment set for in the morning so we will get her checked out really well. I think the scum bags are from the neighborhood and watched her leave the house by herself and waited by the neighbors bushes until she came back because she said they were at the car door before she even opened the door. She is trying to get a bit of rest right now but her pain is quite high and the ice pack really isn't helping much. I'm concerned to leave her while I go get the locks in an hour and a half and I have no one t call to come over. I will be leaving a "few other friends" right next to her in case they are needed. Ladies & guys also, please pay attention at all times when leaving anywhere and it is dark. Thugs like this will take advantage of every thing they can to get the upper hand on you and you may not be as lucky as my wife. I am asking for prayers that Mrs. Wormie will heal quickly and the fear she is feeling in her heart will quickly go away. I hear Samson barking so I need to go make a round. Sorry for the rambling. John
  6. No blood in my urine, no kidney stones, no bladder tumor found today. God is good! John
  7. I got a call from my doctor and he said the MRI shows two pinched nerves and the disc are pretty much shot. He apologized for me having to wait until February 15, 2017 to be able to see a neurosurgeon. So, I'm on steroids for 10 days to help reduce swelling and more pain meds. Me thinks this is going to be a long road, and one I really don't want to go down. Thanks you all for the prayers and well wishes. :womie2: John
  8. Folks I need to make a change in the way I post recalls. Hopefully this will only last for a few weeks but it could be several months. I am having major back problems that is also affecting my mental health. I can’t concentrate on things like I need to and some of these recalls take quite a bit of time. I have some that I had ready to post and I will do those in full form. After those are done I will only be posting the link that you will need to follow to read the full text. I will note what the recall is about and the amount as usual. I hope you will have patience with me until I get through this issue. I will post this in the Consumer Affairs section also. John
  9. I thought they did that on Thanksgiving day last year. I could be wrong. I wonder how they would freeze and thaw... John
  10. Thanks for the prayers! I have not heard from the neurosurgeon that I was to be referred to so I called my doctor's office. I was told no one told anyone about the referral. So they said they would call & then call me back which they did. Now I have to wait 89 more days to see this person. I was told the date could change & I would be notified if it does. And some people wonder why folks don't like the health care in this country. John
  11. I think about you from time to time wondering how you are doing. Good to have to you back. John
  12. Thanks for the prayers,they are welcomed. And now for more news... I went to my urologist yesterday & he informed me I have blood in my urine. He said he could be a stone that is up high, a bladder tumor, or the cancer is back. I go the first of December for ultrasound and test. I'm wondering if this is what is causing my back pain. John
  13. As some of you know I have have back problems for years. I have learned to live with the pain until now. For 43 years I have had back pain mainly on my left side. Now I have pain on my right side. I've been through traction, therapy, surgery, etc. I've worked, played (within limits), and lived the best I could. This new twist has really gotten me down. Some days it's all I can do to function. It's a new place for me to have pain and I don't like it. My doctor recommended aqua therapy and it was okay but I saw no benefits. The pain got too great and I had to stop. I went and had an MRI last week and I'm waiting to go see an neurosurgeon for an evaluation when they call me. I have no doubt they are going to want to do surgery and I'm just not comfortable with that at this time. I can still walk and drive which was something I could not do before I had surgery back in 1987. The point of this post is to let everyone know that there are days when I don't post anything due to what is going on. This means I have to play catch up and I don't like that. Bear with me if you can. I'll keep going until I get to the point it's too painful to sit and type as which point I will let you know. John
  14. It's in the upper North West corner near Memphis Tn. John
  15. Good, used as an adjective, noun, or adverb. Definition=I have almost too many jars now. Key word is "almost". I could get them but I'm concerned if I do I may have to sleep with them & I don't think they would be comfortable to snuggle up to. John

  17. Mine gets that way sometime. I use a brillo pad. John
  18. Here is an update: It started out around 2 pm Friday. He was battling with amazon customer service because they had given out his personal info to someone without performing a two step identification like they are suppose to. A few hours later he was trying to find a good lawyer that deals in internet fraud and he was doing damage control, canceling credit cards and things like that. Late that night he started freaking out that he was going to be swatted. I don't know what happened before that, maybe whoever stole his info said they were going to do it, I don't know. But he was calling the local sheriff to try stop it. After midnight he announced that one of his dogs was dead and his other was in surgery and he was livid at this point. Nearly hysterical. Yesterday he only came on briefly to announce that the dog in surgery died at 3:30 am... John
  19. And if you pay cash you get looked at funny in some places. John
  20. I just got this from a friend of mine. Really is heart breaking. Don't think identity theft is that big a deal? A friend of mine had his Amazon account hacked yesterday. The thief got his credit card numbers, address, phone number, all of it. And last night they used it to send the SWAT team to his house. SWAT shot all 3 of his dogs. 2 were killed on sight and the 3rd died at 3:30 in the am in emergency surgery. Protect yourself by protecting your personal information. ...I'm actually pretty worried. The last I heard from him was when he announced that Sage, his prized 3 year old Boxer, died in surgery. She was like his kid. John
  21. I really would like to know how they get the card numbers. I have a card that is used only for online purchases & no money is left in that account. It is rare that we use our cards for anything. John .
