Insomnia effects

Good Morning,

I'm writing this during Halftime of the Colts/Lions Preseason game. Colts on the losing side of a 10-7 score. Lucky to be down only by three. I fear a disappointing year upcoming for them. I've revised my thinking a couple times recently but will stick with this opinion. Ugly times ahead.

What do I do to pass the time away here at The 'Burg? Simple Computer, and thank God for it. Will be a crisis of epic proportion when it decides to crash. I hate even thinking about it. Most of the time is spent on facebook applications. Farm Town, Farmville, FARKLE, Backgammon, Mafia Wars, and my latest addiction, BINGO. I'm up most all night, every night on one or the other of these. I'm only sleeping from roughly 10:00 p.m. to 12;30 a.m. I can't stay asleep. I end up doxing during the day. Awful having days and nights mixed up. Feel like I'm on the midnight shift again.

Time to go finish watching the Colts game. I suppose I'll wake up with two minutes remaining. Oh, and another loser of a team, the Reds. A respectable 5-5 during their last Ten, but remain a distant 17.5 games behind the Cardinals and 1.5 games ahead of the bottom feeding Pirates.

Countdown to the MRI results. Another issue keeping me awake nights. See ya next week.

Clerical Error

Good Morning,

I was only off on my estimate $467.00. Total cost for the MRI is a staggering $2,267.00!! Oh well, that's why we have insurance. I won't mention "Obamacare" this week like last. I stay away from Political banter. I leave that to Danno, Ken, and Will.

I mentioned having an inkling how the MRI will turn out. I'm predicting a tumor will show once again, pressing itself against the brain causing the current aggravation of the same issues. As well as a few new ones. We'll see on the 4th. I'm gearing up mentally for surgery #5.

Next week I'll give you a rundown on my daily schedule. No, I don't send the kids off to school, nor do I head off to work. My schedule is nothing like that. Tune in next week, you'll see and truly laugh out loud. I'd start it now but I'm pooped. Make a few chess moves then it's off to bed. Have a great week everybody and I'll see ya here next Sunday.

The $1800 nap

Good Morning,

Well, it's Saturday evening and all is quiet here at The 'Burg. The only thing I have to relay is the MRI appointment was last Wednesday. Takes longer to get me inside the van than it does to drive across the street to the hospital. Coulda walked quicker. Okay, maybe not.

Now I'm a bundle of nerves until it gets read at my next Neurology appointment, which is September 4 at 10:15 a.m. Mark your calendars and cast a few prayers, or positive thoughts, my way. Any and all will be greatly appreciated. I must say though I have an inkling how it will turn out. Just hope for the best.

Your weekly Reds update: They're 5-5 their last Ten, 14 games behind the Cardinals. (Hold your applause, Bryan) Cubs have fallen to 4 back, but who cares? Reds are 4.5 games from the bottom-feeding Pirates. Stay tuned, the race for futility is heating up. See ya next week.

New Dr. in the food chain

Good Morning,

Neurology appointment was last Friday Morning. It went as how I had perceived it. It was basically a meet and greet session. We discussed my NF History as well as my current issues. He did a not so thorough once-over and simply said "MRI". So, between now and my next appointment I get a $2800 30 minute nap. Thank God the Obama Coverage hasn't kicked in or who knows what would occur. I'm not 100% certain the remnant's of the 2ND tumor have been completely removed. Needless to say my anxiety level is increased. Looking forward to viewing the MRI.

Reds update: 2-8 in their last 10. Places them 11.5 games behind the Cardinals and Yes, Da Cubs. 1.5 games ahead of the bottom-feeding Pirates. Can we stay out of the basement? Stay tuned.

All for this week. Catch ya all next Sunday. Stay safe....

Sunday August 2, 2009

Good Morning,

I am presently engrossed in a Reds game so this will be short an sweet. Just checking in with everyone to let ya know I am still around. The Burg is still here, running like a well oiled machine.

I'm still heavy into Backgammon, a little Chess, Mafia Wars, Farmville, Farm Town, and of course FARKLE. So my days are now full. :-) Oh, and I am keeping up on my reading, although I have slacked off substantially. Time to get back to the game. Have a great week everyone and I'll see ya next Sunday. Time now for the weekly Reds update:

1-9 in their last 10, 9.5 games behind the Chi-Town Cubs? What's up with THAT?!? The Apocolypse is near. 2 games in front of the Pirates who are bottom feeding. Who knows, we may be the Legion of Futility by next week. GO REDS!!!! See ya....
