Compared to you two I have no problems. I hope you get all that sorted out soon.
Tell me, between injections starting in May for my sciatica on the left side, then severe flare up of Sciatica on my right side in July, Cardiac Ablation in Nov, and now the dizzy spells. I've driven 3 times since the beginning of May, with the last time being 13 Aug.

Makes it damn hard to escape the chaos when you can't run a simple errand. I just want to walk without fear of falling on my face, drive without fear that I might black out and crash, sleep without fear that I won't wake up......In other words let's get this diagnosed and under control, so I can go back to living my life....Tired of being holed up in the house and only getting out to see doctors!

February 2020-October 2021 I left the compound maybe twice, not that there was anyplace to go with everything shut down. Not traveling much now either with the plague still lingering around. Of course I have a large area to rattle around in, being trapped in one little house would drive me crazy.

Can you run a forklift, chain saw, log splitter, fix on Detroit Diesels, know the ins and outs of hydraulic cylinder repacking, operate a snow plow, assassinate racoons, and repair all types of modern automobiles? If so we can find a place for you :thumbsup: Oh yea, competent HVAC tech would help, the waste oil burner shit the bed again.

Hey I can cook Ramen......But I do make a mean chili and a mean spaghetti bolognese. I do dishes, cleaning and laundry. With the wife doing the heavy lifting due to my limitations I do the easier things. Oh and I won't ask and nor do I care where you've been and when you're coming home from work!

I passed out once a few years ago. Sober even..... Never happened before or since. Was standing up going to walk out of the room and down I went. Was only out a few seconds, scary as hell.

A few months ago I started passing out. Ran all the tests. Can’t drive a minimum of 6 months.c

Well the results for my CT Scan are in. Good news is it's not Neurological, it's Mastoiditis related they think. My results have been forwarded to my ENT for their review and care. So basically I have a sinus related infection, with fluid buildup behind the eardrum. The dizzy spells are Vertigo as a result of this infection.

So just waiting for my ENT to let me know our course of action.

No, the final repairs are being done, and we can't be in the house during that time. So we have to completely move out, in fact we have to be out by 26 February. They are hoping it doesn't take longer than 4 weeks, but it could take longer if issues are found.

Our next door neighbor offered us his two spare rooms to stay in, seeing trying to find temporary housing with 2 dogs is next to impossible around here.

Got to remember I was an AF Brat before I joined, and my dad ran the house like basic training. So I was under strict military discipline since the day I was born on 16 Dec 66 until I retired on 12 Sept 08.

What an amazing coincidence! The first time I got laid was on 16 Dec. '66, at between 9:52 and 9:53 PM!
