Yeah well I offered to trade SwampBlossom for Nan's grooved axe, she said she didn't want a wife. You got a grooved axe?

Nope. The oldest thing around here is me. I've got a big stick and a chainsaw!

I think she's more than busy enough keeping you out of trouble!! I'm guessing there are men out there who are responsible. Somewhere.....

you can handle the chainsaw ?

i never dared, i think it's too heavy, and i'm scared of the fact that it will bounce when i'd take it.
but it's fascinating though

Trouble? Moi'? How could you ever ever think such a thing of me. Thank you. It isn't my middle name, care to guess? I've been accused of thinking with it. BAHAHAHA!! ! I'll trade her for the chain saw though, deal? Ike would like the stick, but he has no say in this, neither does SwampBlossom. I has spoken!! !! See when you say that, it shows I'm being very responsible, makes me feel all manly too. Think I will do it again. I HAS SPOKEN!! !! I do it way better then Mammy Yokum ever did it, though she had a better whammy. Now there was manly woman, damn responsable too.

the axe is too heavy,
i have done some splitting of the wood with the axe,
but i feel it's just too heavy for me (that's probably also the
reason why i don't dare to try the chainsaw)

but i like sawing the wood with a handsaw (i once did that
one winter) the sound and the smell are great.

I don't know about the chain saw... I think it may come in handy if I ever start dating again. I'll have to exchange the big stick for a club.

( I is Postie! HEAR ME ROAR!!) I saw what happened last time Swampblossom left you alone for a few days! I don't think I'd be so quick to try and give her away if I were you!!

Gads!! I forgot I put that up here. It was all lies I tell you. That's not giving her away, that's a swap. I'm greedy.

Hey Nan,

It doesn't explain it all but have you looked at neurocardiogenic syncope? (sometimes called electrocardiogenic syncope)

For years doctors couldn't figure out why I was getting lightheaded and fainting until my dad was in a car accident. When he was in the hospital they did a table-tilt test and found this condition. Apparently it is genetic in our family as my dad has it, it fits all my symptoms and grandpa had symptoms as well.

It is something that will affect you in some types of exercise and not others because of how it affects the blood pressure regulation. My dad takes medication for it but I currently do not. I still occasionally have problems but I have learned the sensations that lead up to a problem and take action before I have a further problem. For example if I ride my bike and stop quickly without slowing down to allow my blood pressure to slow with me I will get a certain feeling. I will be able to feel the thumping of my pulse in my neck without touching it with my fingers. That is a sign that I need to act NOW and sit or lay down. Many times I didn't act fast enough and carefully enough and I would pass out as I was in the process of trying to sit down. This has caused some close calls. (fell straight back in a tall backed bar stool at a friends house and my head landed about 2 inches to the left of an antique church pew)

Other triggers for lightheadedness can be sitting for a long period of time and standing up, bending over, heat especially if standing for a long time.

I don't know if I am explaining it very well because I have been having a kinda rough evening but I did provide a link.

It wouldn't be the whole picture but maybe it could be similar to a larger piece.

Hi Mousie. Yep, they checked that one out as well. One thing we did see, in the little bit of ongoing BP testing we did before her seizures, was that her bp drops when she stands and her heart races, and 10 minutes later it's still lower than it ought to be. THAT's the criteria that the Vanderbilt guys are interested in. If it meets whatever pattern they need it to do for their research project, they are interested in seeing her. Unfortunately, as she's been unwilling to do her BPs per their protocol since the seizure thing, we're hanging.

Yeah, I know about how she should do this. However, if I push too hard she'll dig her heels in and we'll have a battle royale and no movement at all. As I legally have no leverage at all, I'm trying to work it from the ends inward....

I'm guessing there are men out there who are responsible. Somewhere.....
