What Did You Do Today?

Glad you are ok Pat. It is always a good idea to have someone with you cutting wood. So many simple things can become big problems when you are working alone. I know I do it to, but I’m always more careful when I am alone. I have heard many stories where people were alone. Pinned down and if someone had been there they would still be here.

Glad you are Pat

Our woods are getting scary to walk through. Especially when it is windy. So many dead ash hung up and leaning everywhere

Pat B:
I'll be getting a hardhat and a set of walkie-talkies. I've been doing this by myself for years. I know I should have someone else with me but I have no one to do it. I learned to be very careful but stuff happens. I'll find out in a few days when I go back up there. Tomorrow I go back to the ER for an evaluation and redressing the wound. I took it very easy today. I'm doing better this evening. Last night wasn't so good. Sleep was spotty and when I changed position I got dizzy. I'll find more about that tomorrow.
Thanks for the concerns guys.

Pappy:
Hope all turns out well for you, we are all getting older and reflex not near as fast as they used to be. I work alone a lot myself, just try to be careful, Miss Joanie tells me every day before I leave the house “ don’t do nothing stupid “ 😊😉 I hear her but don’t always follow through. 😉Pappy

Eric Krewson:
I always get vertigo when I take a hard hit to the noggin. I know what it is because the bed feels like it drops out beneath me when I roll over at night. I get the same scary feeling if I bend over and turn my head, like I am falling through space.

I went to an ENT the first time I got a severe case of vertigo, they do a procedure called the Epley Maneuver to move the dislodged crystals in your inner ear back to where they are supposed to be and restore your balance.

I learned how to do a home version of the same maneuver and now fix myself when vertigo raises its ugly head again.

If your dizziness persists Pat, you might want to see an ENT. When I had vertigo the first time, it was so bad that I couldn't get out of recliner without falling on my face. Fortunately, the Dr I went to at the walk-in clinic knew about the Epley Maneuver and sent me to an ENT. I have seen other Drs. Since that have never heard of the Epley Maneuver for treating vertigo and wanted to prescribe pills for dizziness, the pills don't correct the problem.

Pat B:
Thanks, Pappy but you take care of Miss Joanie. We are all on the edge of our seats just waiting to hear the good news.
 Eric, I'm going back in this morning for an evaluation and redressing the wound. I'll mention to the doctor about the dizziness. I need to get this bulky turban off and get a smaller dressing. This thing makes it hard to sleep comfortably, something I've never had to worry about.
