They increased our registration for plates here 50% last year.... It went from $101 to $150....
Mine was lets say interesting to say the least. Rough week here with kids "friend" here for a week.
My father's day dinner was crappy hospital food....
Obviously you're out? How are you and what's goin on?
How do you make pickle bread?
Dill Dough!
Dill Dough!
Ssshhh.... I'm still back reading....
We had tornadoes touch down about 15 miles from me on father's day night while I was in the hospital...
Going out for something to eat now. Then back to my house to pack my bags. Pic from the Party last night.

Everybody in those identical red shirts reminds me of the Tom Mabe identical shop lifter prank....
They couldn't pinpoint it exactly, just run test and rule that out as they went...
They did lung x-ray and found nothin, no COPD or anything like that...
Then lots of heart tests and couldn't find anything wrong, except for the last test the echo gram showed some water around my heart... I passed all of the other heart tests with flying colors...
My hemoglobin was at 8.5 most of the time, then one test it was 8.1, then they gave me an iron IV and it went up to 8.7 and I started feeling better....
So they finally sent me home yesterday and recommended iron supplements to help get my hemoglobin up...
Hi Karl!
Those assholes at the hospital were supposed to release me Mon morning....
I did the chemical heart stress test from 6 am to 9 am....
Then two females show up at 3 pm to do the echo heart test.... They needed to get someone to inject contrast fluid in so they could see the test better, but most of the people who did that were already gone...
They finally found someone to do the contrast fluid and finished the test around 4 - 4:30 pm...
For some reason they couldn't get anybody to read the echo test results until Tue morning...
They made me stay an extra day for their lack of planning/incompetence.... Why couldn't they have run the echo test after 9 am???? I could have been out Mon night and gotten 40% off Pizza Pete pizza for dinner which I had a craving for....
Why couldn't they do the echo test around 9 or 10 am instead of 6 hours later???

I followed all of your guys recommendations on Sunday and went into the hospital to make sure I didn't have any more internal bleeding...
Welcome back Karl. Glad you are doing better.

Luckily I had two cool nurses...
My night time nurse was a guy named Diego... I told him I wanted to be released by 8 pm when he got on shift so I could get some Pizza Pete pizza.... He asked me what I liked on it and I told him sausage and onions, maybe some mushrooms... He had some sausage Pizza Pete pizza and gave me three pieces of his...
My day time nurse, Darla, was upset that they didn't release me on Monday... Was making phone calls to the people to get me released on Monday before her shift ended...
When she came in yesterday, she was pissed that they still hadn't released me and made another call to escalate my release.... She was really helping me by standing up for me to get me out of there... I thanked her for all of her efforts when they released me yesterday...
That's good.....I'm assuming you didn't?
That was one hell of a tornado that they had Sunday night...
It was pretty close to here, about 15 miles to Naperville and Aurora....

Nope,. no internal bleeding...
It seems that most of my problem was because my hemoglobin level is down in the mid 8's, and should be in the mid 13's....
Iron helps increase the hemoglobin level... The iron supplement they gave me in the IV brought me up from 8.1 to 8.7....
It will take about 4 months for my hemoglobin level to get to the mid 13's naturally.... The body can only work so fast....

Just glad your back out in the world Karl. We did our best at witty replies but epic fail. There is only one you! Your boy did give us a SITREP tho so that was cool. Back reading sucks!
I just got one for Father's day. It just came in today at my son's house.
