I am back

Well, as my dear sister has reminded me, I have not posted since the 4th of October in the year 2007, which of course is this year, and the 4th was just a short time ago, how time flies, when your getting older, notice I did not say old, just older, in that old implies aged, like when the Ohio department of ageing sends you a Golden Buckeye card. Older simply states that one is older then one was before, which does not in any way make claims to the age or conditions that accompany such.

To answer to wit a quiry of my state, I am still experincing some dizzy times in my day, The VA here in Dayton is in the process of exploring various reasons for such spells, I have already had a head CT scan of which no results have been sent my way, and I am due to have an Ultasound of my carotid artieries the 26th of the month. After that who but my Lord knows what will occur. I only get dizzy, when I change the position of my head, mostly from horizontal to vertical and visa versa. This was a slight trick as I was in the throws of painting at my sweet little daughters new home. The great room had a wall which extended upwards to 15 feet high, which required the use of my extention ladder. Now if you wanted to see a sight it would have been this large frame, slightly overweight ageing fellow 15 feet in the air on a ladder with a small bucket of paint in one hand and a brush in the other, having to look up to paint the trim line across the wall and ceiling. Looking up is a repostioning of the head, ugh!

So at any rate, I did complete all the painting with Sarah helping in many of the rooms or sarah completed the painting with me helping in many of the rooms. I am sure pictures can be seen on her blog,http://peanutandpumkins.blogspot.com

They had new bamboo floors installed throughout the main level of the house and thus I needed to put in all new baseboards and shoe(that is like a corner round except slightly different) Again this required getting down and up a lot and changing head positions at times. I loved doing this work, and would not ever for a moment think of not doing it, I enjoy working with my hands and doing all that I do. The dizzy thing was just a little bother is all. Maybe VA will find something, maybe they won't. Many of my friends have already figured out want is going on, according to them, I have an inner ear problem, one diagnosed positional vertigo.

So I will keep going with this blog again. I do have more to say about that.

Thank you! Believe it or not the de tail of your life is of interest to at least one person far enough away to need some communication. I love checking out the family bloggers in the wee hours and finding out what is happening.

My friend Dennis that you played dominos with in FL has condition you described, and as you know, lives on the 19th floor! I pray it is no more serious than that.

Yeay! I'm glad you're back Dad! I know I see you often since we just live 5 doors down, but it's nice to read your blog too.

Yippy! I'm glad your back too! Even if I DO live with you, our schedules find us "passing in the night". Maybe that's the secret to our successful marriage.
Love ya
