Hi my HVS Godmom, catching-up on all the posts. Yes, wicked winter it was in VA. Coldest since 1879. More importantly, read you fell recently while exercising and sprained your wrist. Glad there were no broken bones, and hope the wrist is healing nicely.♥ï¸

Ana Brusso My dear hvs godchild Deena, I know you had a very bad winter. Yes, falling was not too much fun and grateful only got a minor fracture, it could have been a lot worse. Thank you for your well wishes and glad you survived that winter. ðŸ™â¤ï¸
Deena Z Oh no, it was a fracture, not a sprain. Is it your dominant hand?

Sorry you fell while exercising of all things. Hope for Speedy recovery. Snow has finally melted other than plow piles. Lots of broken branches and one entire tree. It never ends. Sad about the tree. I planted it in 1978 when we moved here. Meet cardiologist friday to review echo but i already know it was good. Back to gmc dealer today to hopefully fix the missing map from my dash screen. Way too much electronics on these new vehicles. More to break. Most of it goes unused in my world. Rest that wrist.

Rose Madura Ana, I'm sorry you fell. It's always a scary thing. Nurture your wrist. I'm glad the eye doctor has state of the art equipment and it caught my eye problem. At my follow up, yesterday, he said it all looked good.

Ana Brusso Good to hear Rose 🌹. Stay well. Richard, I totally understand all those electronics in new cars now. I would not know what to do with them. Thank you both of you for your good wishes. â¤ï¸ðŸ™

Happy you like my winter wonderland pix. With not much to do being housebound i decided to clean up my 60 years of photo albums that go back to our wedding and before. I felt a little like chevy chase in xmas vacation in the attic as i managed to shed a tear or two on a sentimental journey seeing pictures of my parents, some previous dogs and some dear friends no longer with us. In comparing some pictures of my beautiful bride and how she looks today, i have to say i am a lucky guy.

Ana Brusso Yes Richard you are a lucky and blessed man. Nancy has been by your side all these years. And she looks amazing. Also very sentimental. Is funny I have been thinking of doing that lately but have not done it. I’m such a cry baby I would ruin the pictures with my tears. Enjoy the trip through memory lane ðŸ™â¤ï¸ðŸ’•🤗
Ana Brusso Also Happy belated Birthday and you look amazing at 84 dear hvs brother.

Ana, i met my new primary doctor this week. My long time person is leaving his practice. He was the best. He was knowledgeable but had no problem suggesting a specialist if required. No ego issues. The new guy met all my requirements on paper but the biggie is that i have to like him. As it turns out i did , a younger doctor but not too young, and he was even pleased i showed up with a list of questions. I always try and walk the walk. Finding a doctor in todays world is not an easy thing. He chuckled when i told him he passed. He may not have realized that if he had failed, he was history.

Ana Brusso Soooo proud of you dear hvs brother. Im glad your new Primary doctor met your expectations. You are right about finding a good doctor nowadays. I interviewed my Primary just before my second OHS and he has not disappointed me. I’m glad your doctor is not history and he seems that he will take good care of you. Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉ðŸ‘🙌

Richard Munson You might wonder what my requirements were for a pcp, not a specialist. After all my mass general surgeon and cardiologist were ukranian and austrian . Male ( not ready for a woman, age thing), young but not too young( 33), usa schooled ( univ. vermont), md not a do ( no idea why, just sounds better).

Ana Brusso I like to have all my doctors male. My previous cardiologist was a female and only got to see her once and later on she went on leave to have a baby and as you know nowadays they get a few months leave, I took two weeks off when I had my baby and went back to work. So no more female doctors for me.

Richard Munson Nancy also 2 weeks. I had a male doctor that took maternity leave after his wife had a baby. I was shocked but thats the new red blooded male i guess. I wanted to ask him if he breast fed the new arrival but kept my mouth shut.
Ana Brusso I can’t believe that law exist. It’s BS.

I think fidel would have fit right in at our 80+ lunch. No talk about health issues or politics. All 3 of us met our spouses at school so there was that plus some recounting of those no longer with us. Amazing how many. As the saying goes among us oldies, i go to more wakes than weddings now. Then there was some discussion about the sad state of athletics in our country. It used to be about fun. Not any more. As our dog trainer always tells our group, lets have fun above all else.

Fidel MartÃnez Ruiz Wise words, Richard. Everyone can have his/her own ideas depending of many factors and life experiences, but friends meetings, blogs, internet places and so on are not good places to do it. After all all are human beings but even being of the same cultural and religious family, politics bring to light very deeply held beliefs and in arguing you can lose friends. I touch on such issues only when I am face to face with each person and from a moderate standpoint, understanding each other´s positions.

Rose Madura You guys are awesome! I never discuss politics or religion unless I know the person holds the same beliefs. And we all have a commonality on this website that binds us closer together. We understand each other and that's a wonderful thing.

Richard Munson Well, one of these fellows is involved in college finances and recruiting. The picture he paints is not very encouraging. I can’t even watch college or professional sports anymore and i was once a rabid fan. My granddaughter runs track. Even that has become a political pawn. Not good.

Happy birthday. Just back from a 3 hour trip up north to Woburn mass, coming from shadows neurology appt. It was a consult. I was armed with all the data from his 4 seizures. She was not overly concerned about the quantity or his seizure time length. 2 minutes is a short duration ( unless you are there its the longest 2 minutes i ever spent) She would be more concerned if he was having them weekly or monthly and longer than 2 minutes. Her best guess is epilepsy but its a matter of ruling out everything else as there is no epilepsy test. She gave us some medication that has to be injected up his rectum but only if his seizure lasts 4-5 minutes. Like an enema. Doing that in the midst of a seizure sounds like a cluster but if we need it, we need it. We welcome any heart warriors willing to do the deed. Plus we need to monitor future seizures and go back if they increase in number or duration. We liked her knowledge, her demeanor, and she did not push a bunch of unnecessary tests on us.
Pamela Gregory That sounds doable. We will hope for no more seizures but at least there is a plan if one happens

Susan Eckermann Praying for Superstar HVS contributor Ana Brusso as well as Richard & Shadow. I'm not here as much as I'd like -my teen son keeps me "occupied" much of the time (a complete understatement as he's diagnosed ADHD,ODD ASD) but you are each in my thoughts and prayers. The HVS community is always uplifting.
Ana Brusso Dear Susan, thank you for taking the time to wish us well. ðŸ™â¤ï¸

So you and shadow have something in common. Both meeting a neurosurgeon next week. We will discuss his seizures. Prayers for you both. Tomorrow i get my prostate biopsy which is never a pleasant experience. No doubt i will be wiped out most of the day. We just found out our regular vet who is only 62 years old and has treated our dogs for over 25 years, has lou Gehrigs disease. A year ago he just opened his own practice and now this. Very sad. Fabulous vet and great person.
