Hey... boats are for rich people. That's why I don't have one. 😟

That way you don't have to hunt 🦨 at Walmart, the petty thieves are bad enough. BuckyB93 do you have a special permit?

Bastids. [ram27bat]

Might do it tomorrow too.

If I do enough overtime I'll be able to pay all the medical bills without a payment plan or credit cards.

Skunks first. Coons next.

And then.... Bobcats.

The definition of campy. Okay, although I liked Gentlemen Prefer Blondes better.

No, and I don't anticipate that I will. But I'm doing my due diligence in case we can find a preventable cause.

This is something that has happened my whole life. Some of my siblings too. As a kid any sudden major stress where you feel your stomach sink, that feeling would continue. My ears ring, then vision narrows and as vision cuts out, so does hearing, then blind and deaf and I feel like nothing matters, very relaxed but dripping sweat. Then I'll start hearing my ears ringing again and start hearing sounds, then open my eyes and in a minute I'm feeling 100%. As an adult its followed the same process, but never have a trigger.

I had many workups done as a child, hospitalized for a while as a young teen, and the "official" answer around age 16 was it was psychiatric, not physiologic.

I went through a full workup again 10 years ago. Neurologist, cardiologist, and endocrinologist all extensively tested, spent about $10k. Only health issues high BP. But when I pass out my BP is extremely low. They all said I dunno.

So far the $5k I've been billed has revealed nothing. Everything 100% normal. I'm wearing a heart monitor for a month right now. Don't anticipate it will reveal anything. If I hit my 12k deductible maybe I'll ask for a few more tests. I think a decade of nightshift has exasperated the issue. It's never happened when im not working too much, and sleeping well. Happened pretty frequently when I had 3 jobs and going to school.

I have low suspicion this round of tests will not reveal anything either. I dont think we'll get an answer with noninvasive testing. I think a reveal monitor for a year or two would be the most beneficial. I think I'm having arrhythmias, but it's never been captured. Seizures are in the differential but without a postictal period, and low BP, that's unlikely.

I hope we find something but I'm not optimistic.

Had some tonight, toasted with butter. It was delicious.

Probably easier to just let the wife continue on with the Disney thing.

I don't have to maintain a boat or a property, just have to let the mouse bend me over from time to time.

Danm, I truly hope I'm wrong but maybe you should tell the wife to get a job because she my be the primary Dave's breadwinner someday.
