Title: Time to confess
Post by ClusterChuck on Jul 3rd, 2007, 11:43pm
OK, I guess I have put it off long enough ...

Guess it is time to fess up ...

Besides, in just over a week, you will find out ...

I didn't want to say anything, to spoil it ...  Or ruin my luck ...

As most of you know, I am chronic  ... No make that Chronic, with a capitol C!!!  I get hit anywhere from 12 to 18 times a day.  No preventatives seem to work anymore ...  The only abortive, that works, that I am allowed to take, is pure Oxygen, and that is not but 70% of the time.

The above being said, for the past four weeks now, for no know reason (maybe just cuz I am such an ancient old fart?) the beast has backed off ... WAY off!!  I am now down to 2 or 3 hits a day!

That is basically pain free for me!  I can't believe how GREAT I feel!  I went to replenish my oxygen supply and my vendor wanted to know where I was getting my oxygen from, because they hadn't seen me in over a month!  (4 "M" tanks, and 6 "E" tanks got used up in 2 to 3 weeks, normally)

And, usually, all my hits are in the evening, or at night.  It blows my mind to go ALL DAY LONG without a hit!  It boggles my feeble mind at how GREAT I feel!

Now, the quantity has dropped WAY back, but the intensity, unfortunately, has not dropped off, at all.  BUT, I will GLADLY take them!

Hell, 2 or 3 hits a day?  That is a walk in the park!

I couldn't keep quiet about it any longer.  It was KILLING me not telling all y'all!

Unfortunately, being the dumb schmuck that I am, I am now working 12 to 18 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week.  I had a little incident with my heart the other day, so maybe, I SHOULD take it a little slower, but knowing me, THAT ain't gonna happen!!! LOL

Can you say "HAPPY DANCIN' ?!

Chuck, the Happy Dancin' fool ...

That is FANTASTIC news Chuck. I am so glad for you. But why are you working such long hours. It is time to slow down some, unless the long hours is keeping the beast away. If so, keep on working. See you next week bro.

Edit to add: I initially thought the same thing Blue.

Chuck I know you are a tough S.O.B. but how do you even work getting hit that many times a day.

That WAS a problem.  I missed a LOT of work  I even went about five months, with working only one day every other week, or so.  Fortunately, I am know, trusted, and needed, or I would have been let go.  (It also helps that it is my former partner, and family, and I helped to start and build the business.)

Clusters are a wiring fault in the brain. When enough brain cells die, the beast has to leave   :)

What's this?  You need a BRAIN in order to have clusters?  Well, hell's bells!!!  I NEVER should have gotten them, if THAT is the case!

With all the head MRI's and MRA's that I have had, they have all come back the same: Nothing there ...

Chuck

MODIFIED: Cuz it wouldn't let me do two posts, for some reason .. So I combined them!

Take care of yourself Hun,I don't want you being sidelined because of your heart when the beast is easing up.

p.s.  If your feeling real great come on up to NY and give me a ride in that too cool car.

That's great news Chuck.

Hope they dwindle down to zero for you.

Maybe it's true, old farts do outgrow 'em  ;).

Hoping you get a full respite and not a temporary one.
