Too Sweet for Surgery

Posted by Kirk M on 09 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

For those of you who are wondering what ever happened to me and the surgery that I was supposed to have had (yes, I said supposed to have had), it was cancelled at the last minute due to my blood sugar being too high. So what has high blood sugar have to with anything? According [...] Read more »

Hospitalization and Being Non-Mobile

Posted by Kirk M on 25 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran, Life at home

Drat! After spending my entire life being non-mobile (well at least as long as these portable things have been available that is), meaning no cell phone, no PDA, no Smartphone, no netbook–no nothing, I’m finally coming to the point where I’m beginning to regret it. I don’t even own a Trac Phone for heavens sake. And [...] Read more »

Barium me not…

Posted by Kirk M on 07 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

I’m off today (I’m off every day for that matter) to the local VA for a barium breakfast. I remember this now. I’ve done this three times before many years ago. The first two rounds it was chocolate flavored and that made it palatable if not exactly nutritious but the third time it was tooty-fruity [...] Read more »

The art of not posting…it isn’t as easy as it you might think. You have no idea what I have to go through to keep myself from posting so I’ve decided to make a short list of these items to let other bloggers know what they have to do to keep from posting no matter [...] Read more »

Required reading: Tags and Categories-Tagged Again! Part I
Many thanks to Grandad. This absolutely horrendous, disjointed post is all his fault but he’ll probably blame it on K8.
And here we go….
I seem to be getting older these days. Not only am I getting older but it seems to be becoming a habit, a perpetual thing if [...] Read more »

Yawn, creak, stretch, pop!

Posted by Kirk M on 19 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

Ow! Yup, must be morning. Amazing as it may seem the temperature this AM is actually below freezing (it's usually close to or below zero normally). A whole 24 degrees! Hmmm, the grass might actually stop growing finally. I heard a story from the service manager down at the main store in Lebanon, [...] Read more »

Still here…

Posted by Kirk M on 26 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Just Thinkin

Just to let you know I’m still around but being back to work after 2 months worth of convalescence after surgery I’m finding that all that time I had while laying around the house is now gone along with all that extra time to post.
That’s okay…the paychecks will be a welcome thing indeed. One cannot [...] Read more »

Off to the VA yet again

Posted by Kirk M on 25 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Life as a veteran

Just to let anyone who happens to stop by wondering what the heck I'm going to think up next, I'm off to Boston yet again for the second follow-up for the surgery I had three weeks ago. I had some bothersome complications set in that I have been working to get rid of and I [...] Read more »
