Turned out to be lunch at Bobby's Burger Palace.
Bobby as in Flay. They opened a location near me a
few months ago and today I got around to trying it.

I really liked the food. I got a Philadelphia burger, it
was loaded with peppers and had provolone. It was
a nice burger, though more well done than the medium
I asked for.

With that I ordered fries and a dark chocolate shake.
Ron got the onion rings and a vanilla shake. I have no
complaints about the food.

Having said that, you get on line when you walk in the
door and order your food as if you were in Burger King
or something. That was an ordeal in itself, partly due to
morons ahead of us in line. And maybe I'm just spoiled,
but if I am going to pay those prices, I expect someone
to come to me and take my order.

Then you get a number and go into the dining room. Oh,
no tables, counters. Let me tell you, if I order all that food
and find out there aren't two seats together, I'll be very
annoyed.

I'd eat there again, even though the seating situation really
isn't to my liking. I enjoyed the food, and that dark chocolate
milk shake, dang that was good.

I saw your ankle is quite bruised. :-( Just keep your eyes on

Luckily, I get good solar warming here. That helps a lot. (In

I got rid of my internet service at home. Kind of taking a break from
my internet addiction. With the extra time, I've been able to watch
lots of old TV shows on DVD (Buffy, Kung Fu, etc...). That and
working a lot of overtime, and heck, cooking more.

Om,

I actually found MY camera in a coat pocket. It's a Nikon Coolpix S700. I
bought it about a year ago for $220. 12.1 megapixel, 3x optical zoom.

It's only downfalls are no manual focus and no viewfinder.

Not that I've tested it's potential. I do snapshots, not photographs!

It takes movies too, and voice annotations. Take a photo and attach a 5-
second voice description to it.

Best,

Andy

I can run again. I've not been able to for 9 months. I can handle the
treatment pain. <g>

The goal is all that matters. Mobility!!!

Indian orts make lovely omelets! I need some of the veggies from
the Thai crazy noodles though. Unfortunately, my beloved roasted
chile paste contains sugar though.

That's great. You are too young to just accept less mobility as

nancy,

Geez... the way you described the experience, I'm bushed just standing in
line.

I had no idea "Bobby" went into the fast food business.

Fast food burgers are not commonly attached to gourmet chefs. OR is that
the other way round? Either way, I'll pass.

Maybe it's just that I personally can't stand the guy!!! Bottom-of-the-
totem-pole, imho.

What next? "Giada's Lasagna House"? "Tyler's Ultimate Chili Bowl"?

God, I'm creeping myself out!!!

Best,

Andy

Absofrigginlootely. <g> I'm only 46. I'm not going to accept even
being partially disabled unless I have too!

Airrosti has given me back my mobility, I hope it catches on and
spreads to other states. Right now it's only in Texas. At this point, I
feel privileged to have access to this specific Doc':

He's very good.

I did look at locations and there is one in Enid, OK of all places.
Having lived in Enid, it makes me scratch my head and wonder "Why?" Enid
is NOT one of your more mainstream cities. Besides, Oklahoma being as
sports oriented as they are -- why not Norman, OKC or Tulsa?

The site was interesting, but I have to wonder about the pain they are
inflicting. I know a lot of PT can be uncomfortable, but are they making
you hurt so bad that the problem you went in for doesn't seem like it
hurts as much now? PT that causes bruising? Conditioning you to pain?
They sound like sadists to me. ;-)

That said, I hope it does work for you and that you are doing wind
sprints to your heart's content. Me, I'm more of the "No pain, no pain"
group.

On Saturday morning, I had a weird feeling in my heart. Barely
noticeable, but a very mild sense of pressure on my heart and my left
shoulder was hurting me, but only midly. I called my doctor about it. I
was out at a meeting at the time, so I didn't hear my doctor call me
back on my cell phone. He told me to take high doses of Advil and wait
for our scheduled appointment this Friday.

I got spooked, so I took a train into Philly with a heavy duffle bag
full of clothes and magazines; it had to weigh at least 60 pounds. I
schlepped the duffle bag several blocks to the ER at Thomas Jefferson
University Hospital. I told the lady at the reception desk that I felt a
weird feeling in my heart. Two minutes later, I had an IV in my left
arm, blood drawn, and sensors attached to me for an EKG. After that, I
received a full chest x-ray. Then I spent several hours reading while
they monitored my heart and my breathing. I was interviewed by two
doctors and a very cute young woman who was doing her residency. The
test results came back negative, so they repeated the blood tests and
the EKG. At around midnight, I got a clean bill of health, signed my
discharge papers, and they suggested I have a stress test. I will ask my
primary care physician for a prescription to get the stress test when I
am there for a previously scheduled check-up this Friday.

This morning, I went across the street to eat breakfast at the
neighborhood luncheonette. I decided to treat myself to bacon and eggs.
I wheat toast with the bacon and eggs. Breakfast was delicious and only
five dollars. I haven't had bacon in a while, so it was a treat. Then I
went on a long hike with some friends that was much more grueling then
the stress test I had two years ago. I was fine after the hike. We ended
up going to a nearby dinner for an early dinner after the hike. Now, I
really have to pull myself away from my computer and do some laundry.

What a weird weekend!

Geez... you're so much more mellow than me. I can't believe it.

Glad you checked in for your heart. Better safe than sorry.

BACON??? ))

Ah, only in Texas. I found myself gazing at a chiropractor's sign
last night, looking for that on the list of treatments offered.
Of course, since I am in Massachusetts, I saw no such thing.

I am glad that turned out okay. You did the prudent thing. I
often wonder what I would do. Probably assess the situation until
I was defunct.

Hiking will leave you starving! I learned to bring food with
me, they don't call it trail mix for nothing.

Jean B,

It's true that women are more often ignored about heart attacks than men.

Be adamant if you feel the least bit concerned, OK?!?

Well, that too. I probably wouldn't even drag myself to the

I've thought of Blinky a lot!

term.

Tell him about it.

Airrosti is hiring...

and training.

I can run again. :-) Not full stride but it's a start. That makes me
happy. I honestly thought I'd never be able to again. And only after
falling off a lousy step!

Trail mix is good stuff. :-d Chocolate for quick energy, and dried
fruits and nuts. I most often formulate my own.

Iirc, Blinky died of pneumonia. :-( Guys tend to not get care more than
women do.

I nearly lost dad to Appendicitis. I'm just lucky I was home when he
went into septic shock.

Blinky's death ****ed me off. There was no reason for him to die of
something so fixable.

I miss him...

Well, of course, that is what one can hope for--but not at HIS age.

Om,

Oh, was it pneumonia? I thought it was flu.

I get my flu shot every year.

Wonderful progress!

It is scary to think how one's life can change--or end--in a split
second.

Yeah, I wasn't speaking of the specific cause of death (or near
death). Rather the failure to get medical attention.

Yes, it is VERY lucky you were there.

My (U.S.) health provider says to see a doctor if your cough lasts
more than four weeks. Four weeks! Something is wrong with that,
I think.

In the U.K. management is different. To buy any sort of cough
medicine (not just the codeine-containing ones), you are required
to talk to a pharmacist, who will try to determine how sick
the patient is. If they recognize you from having been in
there a week before they will say, "You should not have a cough
for this long". Community-acquired pneumonia mortality is
about 5% in the U.S. and about 1% in the U.K.

It gives one pause.

Hell, no! Lugging a heavy backpack on the train when you think you
might be having a heart attack? You might as well just walk to the
undertaker's office and be done with it. With heart attack symptoms,
CALL 911, chew on an aspirin, lie down and wait for help. Do not
subject your body to any additional mental or physical stress.

A not unusual complication from 'flu. :-(

I never get the flu shot. Makes me sick if I do.
From what little I know about 'flu, secondary infections are the most
common cause of death.

Heh! No kidding. I often think of that...
I feel blessed to have access to such a wonderful resource, and that
insurance made it affordable.

Thanks.

Part of my issue tho' I think are past injuries. This one was just the
final straw.

23 years ago, I got clipped by a pickup truck on my way back to the
student parking lot when I was a junior in college. I never got
treatment for that one.

6 weeks after falling off that step, things were just not healing. The
pain was getting worse. The Ortho' MD that I went to mis-diagnosed my
problem.

Ironic that a specially trained chiropractor diagnosed the real problem
and fixed me. Some people here call them quacks.

They have no idea...

<http://stampschiropractic.com/doctor...opractic-New%2
0Braunfels/chiropractic-education.htm>

As you can see, the average Chiropractor has even more of an education
than the average MD.

Dr. Perry's palpation/diagnostic skills far outweighed the MD I went to.

That's scary.

We are headed towards socialized medicine in the US.

That frightens me quite frankly.

Om,

The flu shot folks always drill me about egg allergy.

I'm not susceptible to that.
