New Day


After the heart attack I am beginning to improve a bit, my legs are getting stronger but boy my eyesight has gone to hell, bright light hurts and I see all kinds of colors and spots. It can be very upsetting.
Take care of your heart, you cannot reverse failure once it has happened.
Well Molly and I have been helping Kim a little bit on her garden, Kim has her place where she can relax and get away from the stress and strain of every day life, she works hard in it and I must admit it is looking pretty good.
I think Molly is enjoying this down time, we sure have been on the go for the last 5 years and now she is catching up on her sleep, and me too I slept about 9 hours today.
It is hot here today into the 90's right not but not to humid yet, it is the humidity that kills me, cant stand it.
Well till the Atoms melt,
God Bless

Heart Attack


Well Lo and behold, my lifestyle, has finally caught up with me, I have been brought to a complete stop by my heart.
While Molly and I were touring north Georgia mountains I began to feel a little weak and a slight pain in the center of my chest, so I drifted down to the VA center at Duke University in Durham, NC and by the time I got there the pain was beginning to get the best of me.
Our VA hospitals offer the best medical care in the world and soon they got me back on my feet, so here I am resting and planning my next trip.
You know that I am an eternal optimist. About 50 miles from me is interstate 40 and it leads to the Rocky mountains. I must be in migration mode because something is calling me to those mountains and have been for a number of years now.
So give me a little time to recover and plan on visiting Molly and I in some campground, along the trail that the pioneers traveled many years ago. "Go west young man, go west".
Until the atoms melt.
