Several MRI's were taken locating the mass in my pancreas that was blocking my natural supply of insulin. It created a Jaundice type of rash, first mis diagnosed as Scabies. (easy to goof because the skin scabs look the same and itch as hell).
The first attempt to get a biopsy sample failed when a quarter inch hole was punched through my esophogas. Second attempt was to punch "spikes" through my solar plexus and liver to break into the pancreas. But the damn organ was too tough for the 5 spikes (I know it was five as I was awake the whole time and watching) On the third attempt they finally got through by punching a hole through my stomach (now have an aggravating feeding tube in it) and got the bioptic sample.
A whole month spent in two hospitals and two stays in a nursing home.
I am now living with my daughter and her family in Santa Fe Springs. Several years ago they had an A-hole of a neighbor who illegally added two more rows of concrete blocks to their south wall. All the mortar on OUR side was not troweled off and looked like rows of vomit running over a hundred feet. So I brought over my air and electric power hand tools from my home and using an air powered chipping gun cleaned about 70 feet of the wall. Would have been almost 80 feet but the Hospice Nurse arrived to change my bandages and the weather was getting too hot anyway.
On the 9th of this month the IOWA is having me aboard for some occasion. I don't know what but I'll be there (well she IS a BATTLESHIP).
So, if I'm to go down, the mortician is going to have a hell of a time taking my tools out of my hands.
