Hi there Dwight. The last 3-4 months have been a trial. Got pneumonia -- again but hadn't been feeling quite right for some time before that. My doc got me on a prescription that knocked the bug but, again, I was still  feeling weak and puny. He finally found that I was one of the 3% or so that will have a nasty reaction after using one of my blood pressure meds for a prolonged period of time. Now, after about 2 1/2 months off of the stuff I'm feeling like myself again -- just a bit older and slower, which my son had to remind me of  on my birthday. Saw my doc today and everything is looking good, even got the OK for cataract surgery in a week or so. I'm with you on the mini .45s and no matter what, even a Govt. mod doesn't do half as well as my Smith M-24 3inch in .44 special. The drawback is that it's bulky. Good to hear from you. Thanks.  Mike

Whoa, . . . sorry to hear about that pneumonia thing.  I was too young to remember the times I had it as a kid, . . . hear tell it is no fun though.

Been there, done that with the BP medicine though, . . . found a book by ol' Doc Adkins, . . . took his advice, . . . lost almost 40 pounds, . . . found out I did NOT need them after I lost the weight.  My problem was the bottom number, . . . wanted to be above 90 and my doctor had a hissey fit.  Never did get along good with any of the meds anyway, . . . made me check the ol' doc out.

Still have to watch the weight, . . . careful of he pies, cakes, cookies, etc.

Your son sounds like mine, . . . always reminding me that I ain't 30 any more.  But we are both fortunate to have sons who care enough to get after us.  

Good luck on that cataract surgery, . . . let us know when it is, . . . we'll get you on the church prayer list.

May God bless,

Dwight

Thanks again Dwight, I appreciate hearing from you.   Mike
