This Afib episode was particularly ironic. My wife had been dealing with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy for a number of years and had just undergone a cardiac alcohol septal ablation to induce a...
A couple of weeks ago I was prepping my lawn mower for winter storage. It was cold outside and the mower didn't want to start, which irritated me so much that I pulled hard on the starting cord a...
The idea of walking a mile after surgery struck a memory chord with me. My room was at the end of the long hospital corridor. The carpet tiles were each a yard square, so I counted them off and...
I wish I could post a picture. I drove my wife to an area hospital today to pick up some medical records and a disc of images that she needs for a doctor's appointment next week. Looking through some...
Thanks for the link, Subdenis. Good find....
Well, all's well that ends well. After a lot of searching, I ended up ordering two of these magnetic hat clip ball markers on eBay for about $2 each plus shipping from Great Britain. The total cost...
For several years I've worn and used a prostate cancer golf ball marker...one of the magnetic kind that clips to the cap rim. This morning, I noticed the clip was on the visor, but the magnetic...

Congrats, Kbota. You and I were going through this stuff at the very same time. Very glad to hear you're also doing well....
Without taking sides, I would honestly like to know what credentials Tall Allen possesses? His signature says he's not an MD. So, even though his advice has generally seemed to be on point, I've...
TA, for the good of all, just leave. You've helped a lot of people here, but I don't think you're any smarter than most urologists, and this is just getting really tiresome. That ego has to be really...
OK, guess I might as well add my two cents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Z_hskvz1M...
Thanks for the comic relief, Mel. But, just to ease your mind, I want to assure you that if this is your last post on HW, I will forget you immediately and definitely will not miss you :) So, don't...
