I would like to share a personal experience with my closest friends about drinking and driving. Especially at this time of the year, the roadblocks come up with great regularity, As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from an occasional social session over the years.
A couple of nights ago, I had a few beers at Lawreys Bar in Laughlin after a nice dinner and wine at home. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before; I took a cab home.
Sure enough, I passed a police road block but, since it was a cab, they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise as I have never driven a cab before and am not sure where I got it or what to do with it now that it's in my garage.
note: actually, i received this in an e-mail.

now - I heal from a broken hip
12/11/2023: Everything was fine until I got careless. My second son and I had been out to dinner. He was dropping me off at my apartment. I turned to wave goodnight to him catching my foot in a seam in the foyer floor. I stumbled sideways trying to catch myself but to no avail - I fell on the hard tile. I didn't know at first if I'd broken anything until with my son's help I tried to get up. Nope - that wasn't going to work at all. Neighbors helped load me into the front seat. My son carefully drove me to Lahey emergency where he lifted me out and into a wheelchair. [There's a rule says EMTs must move me - hah!] Once inside emergency there was no problem. Oddly my pain level never became unmanageable. They did give me oxy-c for a few days anyway. 12/12/2023: A partial hip replacement accomplished by noon. Three days later to rehab with my new walker. My other son Victor flew in from San Jose CA. He stays with my ex and her husband 30 mins away. Rehab done - I now stay with my son
Is dA up to no good?
Has anyone else noticed that they seem to be watching more people's accounts that they don't remember actually choosing to watch? :| pip
A small 911 tribute...

My upcoming Summer
In a bit less than a month I'll undergo 'delicate' surgery involving my neck vertebrae to relieve pressure on my spinal cord. After some 'trimming and pruning' three vertebrae will be fused with a titanium 'bridge'. The recovery period [neck brace] will be about 90 days. My son is coming from CA to stay with me for the first 2 to 3 weeks. And my other 'newer' son lives only 25 minutes away. The pressure had slowly increased thru the years and has affected my general health. It is unavoidable. I trust the surgeon. I'm confident [with trepidation] in the success of this endeavor. Life happens. :) pip
