Sorry For The Light Posting

Sorry posting has been light since yesterday.  I had a medical appointment in the afternoon yesterday and got some not so great news from the doctor.  One part of it was the fact that I’m too fat - which I didn’t need a doctor’s confirmation for - but the other part is a little scary.  I went in for a persistent cough that’s lasted about six months (I don’t exactly rush to the doctor when I’m not feeling good), and they spotted something on my chest x-ray.  The doctor wasn’t real clear on what it was.  He is apparently going to consult with a radiologist on Monday and let me know if it is anything serious, but I’m a bit worried.

I’m about 90% certain that it is nothing serious.  Still, though, the idea that it might be something more serious has me worried which in turn has left me unable to concentrate on following politics and writing posts.

So, again, sorry for the light posting.  My mind is elsewhere at the moment.

That is not good news. Please get well… If you send me your address I will send you something to make you feel better? Are you taking vitamins? You really need coQ10!!!

I’ll be looking in my inbox for you address!…

Hope all turns out for the best. Perhaps you only have a persistent lung infection. I had a bad one a few years ago, turned out to be from dust from bat droppings. I was working alot of remodeling jobs, ripping out ceilings and insulation in attics. It showed as a large dark area in my right lung. I’ll try to throw some readerblog posts to help pick up the slack.

Despite all the political trash talk that shoots between your blog and mine, I certainly wouldn’t ever wish ill health on you.

I hope you’re well.

Hang in there Rob. Take a break, you earned it.

Maybe they will have to take out a lung or maybe two…that would be a drag.

Thank a god it wasn’t a black mark on your soul.
Now that reeeeally would be a drag.

Maybe you should vote absentee this time though, just in case.

Baaa…it’s probbly nuthin. You’re gonna be alright.
All the best to ya rob.

Even though I doubt we will ever agree on anything (except abortion), I hope this is nothing. I had a cough for ages once, it was a lung infection, and antibiotics cleared it up real good.

Also, if you are worried about your health, I could suggest a couple of dietary tips smile

Praying for you, Rob.

Good luck, Rob.  I hope it’s nothing.

Thanks for all your good wishes for my son.  He is a thoughtful, kind, caring, wonderful son and father.  I keep telling him he needs to keep healthy for his little princess.

I did notice though that nobody mentioned prayer??  It does help sometimes even for the non believers.  And it certainly does no harm.

We’re all praying for Bunny Boy.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Carol.. You have absolutely got a super dooper son!  I already started praying for him. BUT I didn’t want him to think I was a weirdo. (imagine that?) Rob is a gift and I am so thankful for him! Whatever we have to do to get him well...Thanks for having him!

Rob, I don’t know if you are into herbal remedies, but in the past I have taken a formula that really does help. The product is called “Lung Factors” that is from a company called Michael’s Naturopathic Programs.  The web site is michaelshealth.com. It wouldn’t hurt to try it.

shel...That is a good idea! BUT, I really think he needs some colonics! ...Ha.
