Ok, I’m going to say it because I know Keith is thinking it. John, please refrain from using that word, this is a family friendly forum! I think there is a cow joke where that word is used. 🤔

50 is fairly cool to us. That's why most people (not me) hunt deer with dogs down here. Sitting still makes you colder. Unless youre fishing for some reason 🤔
When you're fishing, even not catching anything doesn't bother you lol, I used to go fishing to a place with my father-in-law that was practically a mangrove swamp. We would go at 4 am and until 9 am the mosquitoes would almost make you levitate because there were so many of them and they would bite us a lot, and for some reason we would continue going to that same place almost every weekend lol
 
That looks like warm weather food if I've ever seen it Paul

Well, I feel like it’s becoming the never ending story. My wife called one of the anesthesiologists she works with and he said my son needs a blood patch ( he hasn’t been getting any better). One of the ER doctors told my wife to let him know when they get there and he’ll expedite it since he has been to the ER twice in less than a week. So to make a short story longer, the anesthesiologist my wife likes and trusts will be doing the blood patch.
Hope the patch goes well and he feels better soon!
 
Hope the patch goes well and he feels better soon!
I've obviously missed a lot. hope this is the one Kev. BTW, it was too hot to get with your family this weekend. lots of traffic. I'm sorry but I really don't like CT.
 
The wife just called, the blood patch is off. His blood culture came back with staph. The are admitting him with antibiotic IV.
Sending prayers!
 
Hope the patch goes well and he feels better soon!
Thank you, it got cancelled because his blood culture from Friday came back with staph. They can’t inject his blood into his spinal canal. They admitted him and have him on IV antibiotics.
 
Oncology appointment this morning. Dr wants a new MRI before deciding whether to start treatment. Then to Cottage Grove to get Simon's driver's license. But first lunch at Thai Bistro on Main
