Old Man's Corners

Got some needed vehicle maintenance completed. Transmission service for both mine and Mrs. AZ's DD. I really hate sealed automatic transmission systems so took both to a local transmission shop that was recommended by a few people I know including the folks at NAPA.

Owner of the shop is a cool dude. He marveled at just how well maintained both vehicles are. Said he wishes some of his other customers were as on top of it as me. Fluid in both looked good, no sign of metal shavings or excess wear. Agreed that having the trailer towing packages in both helps a lot. Liked the fact that I refused to follow "the manuals" when it comes to transmission servicing. Now that both are done, will set up for a 25-30K schedule for both. Hers was overdue by 15K. Mine was last done at 60K even thought the "manual" says do at 100K. It now has just under 105K.
 
Update on Mrs. AZ:

Today she took her first steps without the use of crutches. Not a lot. Of course it was painful even with the boot on but steps without crutches regardless. Previous two days she's been trying it with the aide of only one crutch! The doctor had said on the 10th it might be a week or so before she would be able to walk without them.

Progress!

Look it up.

Phosphorus and potassium.

Body needs those two to help healing.
 
My worst nightmare

This happened to a close family member who was in a car crash but wasn't severely injured enough to be taken to a trauma center so he was taken to the nearest hospital where he crashed which was in the ghetto part of town and he said when they wheeled him in all he heard and saw was "Shvartse" as far as the eye can see. He was left in hallway near x-ray room and he said he could hear one of the nurses with an attitude talking down to some patient and said F-this got up took off his neck brace and said to himself like a cartoon character, feets don't fails me now, and limped off the exit fortunately his wife was walking in he turned her around and left for Scripts La Jolla hospital.
 
Dude wtf?

The official Temp reading for Chula Vista is in western Chula Vista 7 miles from where I live which is a big difference. We call them microclimates here where the coastal area can be 80 degrees and 5 miles inland 95degrees. I aint leaving my house all next week I'm declaring to my family for next week persona non existence because it's too damn hot.

Twenty-eight years ago, emergency surgery to take my gallbladder out at a ghetto hospital in Detroit.

Three days in a hospital bed, needing morphine about every few hours.

My luck. Black nurse was a junkie.

"...pain shot...pain shot...", I begged her.

Think I got off easy. She and I took turns (junkie took half of my morphine).

On the plus side, within a day of returning home going through withdrawals, only threw up once.
