Toes down and head up -- that's a good thing.

He was 50-51 when he had his pacemaker implanted. He goes in several times a year to get it's memory downloaded and reprogrammed. He also takes coumadin, IIRC. I think that's about it.

Mmmm,I'm on Lopressor,Dig,coumadin,hematin,gabapentin and other picture postcards.
Tell you God's honest truth...I never thought I would make it beyond 42 and lived accordingly.

This downloadable pacemaker mischigoss has me *****ting bricks...What if some nurse with whom I had a booty call finds out and programs a self-destruct mode into the damn thing...you see where I'm going with this.

I have developed "Whipping Elbow" in my left arm so now at my age I have to switch arms to continue dispensing the whip. Glad your back Carleton, the cobwebs have been dusted off my dictionary...
