The Way Things Are Today

First of all, Jimmy raised the temperature on our furnace because we had a zero temperature night and I have to tell you that the first thing I experienced because of that move was to spend an entire night with a stuffed up nose. I have to find a way to get him to lower that temperature or I have to find a good dehumidifier because warm dry air is no good at all for my sinuses. That is the first thing for today.

The second thing is what I consider to be really good news. My body weight is on the rise again here in the 8th week of recovering from my cduf disease. As I said somewhere before, that cdif caused me to lose 23 pounds and despite the suffering caused by the ailment, I was pleased with the weight drop—- even though it was rapid and it worried me for awhile until my doctor told me not to worry about it. Now I am informed that gaining some of that weight back is a good omen as far as the disease itself is concerned. So now I am going to cut back some calories to try and plateau the weight at the 220 pound level even though I know that my normal weight is supposed to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 186-200 even— according to the doctor.

It is now 6:32 in the morning…. time for ham, eggs and toast.

After thought —- Here is a headline that I read this morning: “Congress races against the clock to avert skyrocketing health care costs for millions” — and here is my personal OPINION about it …… “Ain’t gonna happen. Congress is too impotent right now to do anything about saving healthcare for millions of people. Mark my words, millions of Americans are going to go without health insurance in this “Great Again America” of ours. But I have some hopes that the President can pull us out of this one. He seems to have some great ideas for a healthcare program for America.
