This morning was the morning Tom was to take his test for a MC
license. I am wondering how it went.
I bet Tom didn't show up, what do you all think?

I wonder waht it'll be this time. Maybe...
He failed because he was picking his nose, while entering the road
course and saw a pretty blond with a short skirt who diverted his
attention and before he could pull his finger out, he hit a pothole
which caused Tom to bruise his brain with his finger...
Or something like that...

Well , Once again misfortune has raised its ucly head for me , I have
not been feeling well for the past week and was being treated for an ear
and sinus infection and I had a regularly scheduled appt. with the VA
Out Patient Clinic here in Lancaster allready scheduled for Tuesday
afternoon , I really didn't feel up to driving but went ahead and went
to it , on the way there I started having mild chest pains which I
figured was due to the heat (My a/c dont work in my van) and stress .
Once I was there I started feeling light headed and started perspiring
perfusely of which the nurse noticed and asked me about when she called
me back for my turn with the doctor , No sooner did I mention that I was
having chest pains did they call 911 and had me take a nitro and an
aspirin and put me on oxygen , next thing I know I wake up in the
emergency room with a whole bunch of people working on me putting in an
IV and transferring me from the ambulance stretcher to the ER bed !
I guess it was raining this morning so I would not have been able to
take the test anyways , The discharged me at my request at around 4:30
after running some tests and I still am not sure what happened yesterday
because I slept the whole time I was there . I am scheduled to meet my
cardiologist some time next week for a chemical induced stress test
which I have had a couple of times before and I am not looking forward
to going through it again .
I may have to have another angioplasty and get my pipes cleaned out
because there may be another blockage and I think I will be OK .
But for now I am just weak and tired and really not sure what is wrong
so I plan on taking it easy for a few days and see if I can get my
strength back ..............
Tom S. - Looking forward to his 4th try at getting his MC license !

I must have ESP. For some reason I felt you wouldn't be able to take
the MC test. I said it would be electrical, but I was thinking on the
MC not the cardiac muscle.

I am calling the BMV tomorrow about rescheduling the test , I would
have got rained out today anyways , I did enjoy the overnight stay tho'
They said my sugar was way to low and a nurse brought me 4 pieces of
home made peanut butter fudge to try to raise my sugar level plus some
other snacks to help me tide the time away !
Tom S. - would have preferred to stay at home !

Good idea! BTW, it's your health situation and this discussion that led me
to post "OT - What's it all about". We've come to believe my friend
probably knew something was wrong but for various reasons, not the least of
which was a recent employment change and being between insurers, didn't act
on his feelings. By all outward appearances, you'd think he was, as they
say, healthy as a horse. (Wonder how Barbaro feels about that old saying
about now?).
