Pardon me for dissing your doctors, but it was pretty stupid of them to force you to play Jeopardy with them at such a difficult time in your life.
I'm back.

Hey doc. That must have been one big surprise.
What a gift you got, eh? Many more years to enjoy all the beauty in the world!

Re: I'm back.
What would you have me do instead? Pick before, when it didn't matter, or pick after, when it was too late. I think your comment was in poor taste.

BTW, I had to re-register because the site did not recognize my previous user I.D. or password. I am thedoc.
Re: I'm back.
I think that unlikely thedoc as I can't see that you were banned anywhere so maybe you just forgot them but welcome back.

Re: I'm back.
Sorry. I made the comment in light of the fact that there is a TV show "Jeopardy", and in a jocular way I wanted to play on the word; trying to express that you had to sit down in front of the tv screen, and watch the show and try to outdo your doctors with answering a higher number of questions correctly than your doctors. My humour was lost there somewhere in the long line of lateral jumps in thinking that a person would need to make to get the joke part of the joke.BardoXV wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 3:34 pmWhat would you have me do instead?

So I was not dissing your plight, your mechanism and timing of the decision you needed to make. I was, instead, trying to make a joke. The fact that the joke was lost in my text, is certainly not your fault, and I do understand that it sounded tasteless unless someone got the joke -- which I see now how nearly impossible it was to get.
I apologize for the confusion and hurt my joke has created.
Re: I'm back.
I only just noticed this thread. Welcome back thedoc! Very glad to hear you are on the mend.
Re: I'm back.
Are you changing your life style somehow ?
Do you have a lesson for us ?
Some illnesses are undeserved, some are predictable.
I for example don´t have a hunch yet, but sometimes I see an elderly person so hunched that they cannot straighten up again any more so I am motivated to do something to avoid this in my life.
I invented a rowing exercise at table with two jars in my hands. I give myself points for each day and I increase the limit every month.

Re: I'm back.
A few months ago I went for a haircut with my wife. A gentleman that I would have considered older than me said "Hi Pops, How are you doing?". I said I was OK but the incident made me think that I look my age, and I'm not used to that. I certainly look older that the other person.

Re: I'm back.
Not a problem, I have often had that trouble of trying to make a joke on a forum on the internet, it isn't easy, my failed attempts will show that. I didn't really take your comment to seriously, as I treat almost everything on a forum lightly. BTW I used to watch Jeoprady but missed the joke.-1- wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:35 amSorry.

Doc!
How goes it?
Re: Doc!
It's going pretty good, all things considered. I'm getting used to changing from batteries to the wall unit every night and vice-versa every morning. Also my wife is getting used to changing the dressing once a week, getting my numbers every morning and washing my hair twice a week as I'm not allowed to get wet as in swimming or a shower. It goes with the territory. It's a lot better than the alternative. The doctors said it was either the LVAD or I would last less than a week, so I chose the LVAD. The Accuchinch worked for about 3 weeks but I was too far gone for it to last for long.
