I'm hoping the later it goes the better the news. The Nurse told me that SHE can call if all is relatively well. I almost always get HER calls after 4PM. I have 15 minutes to go. Guys, I have been a nervous wreck. Gonna give till about 4:30 and then I will call.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

Sure, I will have a few while playing music or before a game. The good feeling takes me back to fun times in my younger years. But with each passing year....arguable month, in the past couple of years, I feel so BLAAAAH after just a few and then often a bit drained the next day. Between this scare and knowing it just ain't that fun anymore, dropping it will be easy. Heck! My body talks to me afteby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
OF COURSE......The Ultrasound Tech was not allowed to say anything AND my Gastro Doc is out of the office till Midday tomorrow. I left a message with the Doc's main Nurse. She's supposed to call at anytime. I don't care about details. I just wanna hear that I am safe. I have not eaten all day and right now, I simply do not feel like it.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
I am QUITE ready to get on with it. I was afraid I'd have to wait till late week or even next week. I will keep everyone posted. I tell ya....THIS has scared me straight in regards to eating better and doing the right thing. My days of Doughnuts for breakfast, pizza for lunch and 2-5 Vodka / Cranberries between 2Pm and dinner time are over. In fact, I have decided that I am done with alcohol perby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

I remember the trip well. I was about to start 7th grade when me, my Mom and Dad went to see my Grandmother and a Couple of Aunts and Uncles in Myrtle Beach, my Dad's home. When we got there, my Aunt asked how the trip was. I replied...... Boring with a lot of crumbling old houses. She told me.....Never look at them as old ratty / boarded up places. She said to look at them and think of the histoby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
The game ball from our Fire Dept Softball Championship team, in 1987, when I was in the USAF at Eaker AFB in Blytheville Arkansas. Signed by the team. I have a Rams helmet bank that I got for Christmas 1977 (My cat lost the plastic cap on the bottom not a month or two later (It was a Hockey puck to her. LOL) And...A Gatorade cap with the Rams helmet on it that goes back to the mid 1970s. My lateby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
EVERYTHING is synthetic these days. Used to be the fear was breathing smoke. Now they have discovered toxins on gear and equipment are a problem. Departments worldwide are pushing to clean gear THOROUGHLY after EVERY fire. Not 10 years ago, having dirty gear was a badge of honor/ courage. Now, it is flat out stupidly! I have had old timers remind me that back in the day, fires were wood and cottoby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
When I was sweating a health outcome with my youngest Son. Not AS bad this time because it's me and not my Son. But wondering what is going on in my upper ab area is stressing me out. I'm worried. I'm REALLY hoping to get my Ultrasound EARLY in the week. 10 years ago, I was a pacing fool. This time around, I'm still and feeling quiet. I have no GLARING things going on like extreme pain, fever.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

And as far as not being prepared for AD going out is poor Coaching IMO. Players get hurt all the time in the NFL. For the Rams D to collapse as much as it did is not a good thing. Pretty fragile if you ask me. Packers did nothing extraordinary. They simply ran up our gut and we got our @$$ kicked. All season we kept hearing how great the D was. AD is great. Ramsey is great. They need help and depby Ramgator - RamsFootballFans.com

Gonna try to get me to their imaging Center early next week. The Nurse did say that USUALLY, the pain is much more obvious. It could be anything. When I had my GERD attack spaz back in December, it REALLY torqued my insides. LOL She also told me to STOP Googling my death. Very glad I got things rolling with the Gastro guy, instead of going to an ER and THEN still having to go to the Gastro Doc.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
Was sitting here moments ago and thought.... DUHH!!!!!! My Gastro Doc deals with more than GERD!!?? The Clinic Nurse is supposed to call. Maybe THEY can see me directly early next week, instead of the ER Circus? LOL I keep thinking of what MaMa always says.... "Old age ain't for Sissies!" I gotta be honest.. This unknown stuff is making me one. I'd be MUCH less scared if all Iby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
BUT....... SOMETHING is indeed going on in there. I just chatted with my Wife, who's at work and told her. I wanna try sleeping WITHOUT our mattress jacked up for one night to see if that helps. When we first placed the wedge under our bed, it was a 7 in lift. WAY too high. I indeed felt a adverse affect on my back and ribs. Over the last month and a half, since we bought the wedge, we have cut iby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
I have already decided, no matter what, that I am done with all alcohol. I have not had a drink since New Years Day. Nothing strong since early December. I have cut waay back on fried stuff but I KNOW I need to do better. My pain is very minimal but simply will not stay away. I'm scheduled for a thorough Physical a week from Monday but am considering going to the ER in a day or two if it maintainby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
Playing Google Dr ( A BIG NO NO!!! LOL) I cannot help but wonder if that is what is going on with me. Thing is, my pain is hardly severe. Just enough to let me know it's there.I feel it right at the soft spot under my brest bone and will radiate a few inches across the lower ribs. It almost feels external at times. And it DID start when my esophagus went nuts 3 months ago. I'm VERY eager to get tby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
I could say that if I had a decent pillow, I could sleep on concrete.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
It might be my mattress. BEFORE my GERD attack and high BP and trips to Drs, I did notice my lower back starting to ache when I'd wake up. Sometimes it would radiate to the back ribs. Around the time of my initial GERD pain is when I noticed pain radiating to my front / lower ribs. After we elevated the mattress, I felt it more. I ASSUMED it was all because of the GERD because that's when I reallby Ramgator - Bucky's Pub

I thought I might feel different or something. It was just like any other treadmill stress test. They also had me lay in some sorta MRI like machine to take photos of my heart area. The lady who did the test said I did very well but I have to wait for the follow up on the 17th for the Doc to tell me the exact results.by Ramgator - Bucky's Pub
