I think that paint will last me a very, very long time with those treads on there. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll actually put an actual carpet runner down the center of it, but I'd have to be sure there was never going to be a water issue again before I bothered with that. Probably Thursday on that last coat. I might see about going to my friend's to help him tonight or tomorrow night since we didn't get together over the weekend. -------------------------------------------------- Political correctness is just tyranny, with a smiley face.

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot you had that whole "paint durability" issue... er... covered.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: All of those tests are new to me. But if your tests show improvement, it could be that you had a massive ... MASSIVE... immune response to that horrible illness that you had, and now your immune system is throttling down to something more normal. I've definitely heard of that happening with other people and other diseases. For example, I knew someone at work who had myocarditis (this was long before Covid). Drs hypothesized that it was a reaction to a usually inconsequential flu. So they put him on steroids for a bit and his immune system eventually calmed down That would be nice if it happened to you. I have my fingers crossed. ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger Loving America is like loving an addicted spouse - SIGNYM

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Today was the "cleanout" after the big surgery. According to Dr Resident, deep sinus crevasses can't be reached by saline rinse (Tell me about it! I was still snuffling and blowing old clots out of my nose yesterday! And I could feel more.) But according the Dr Resident, I would only be under sedation, not anesthesia, and not need packing in my nose. He was right about the sedation, and the procedure lasted only an hour instead of 4 or 5, but when I woke up I had two pledgets in each nostril bc bled so freely. Dr ENT says I have a granulomatous disease, SYSTEMIC, she says, and she's punting the reports to Dr Rheum. Until a non-surgical fix can be found, I should expect to have procedures done about once a month. Oy! But I can breathe now!!! Right before this latest procedure, I was again aggressively decongesting my nose because one nostril was almost grown shut and the other was pretty stuffed, and I was trying to free up any little space I could. Dr ENT says I can do yardwork in a couple of days but better wear an N95 to keep stuff out of my nose. Yes, doctor! ***** But after hubby got me back home, I walked the front yard with Mr Cleanup man, settled with him, took the dog for her walk, and ran a crapton of errands. Two things I didn't do were cooking and dishes. That's tomorrow. Today was takeout day, so I picked up dinner for hubby and dear daughter, but decided to eat beans for dinner myself. Since j can't taste anything, restaurant food is wasted on me. ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger Loving America is like loving an addicted spouse - SIGNYM

I think, since she removed the boney overgrowth, this is more like scraping and/ or suctioning? The overgrowth, I gather, consists of fragile abnormal tissue (granulomas) that can be removed easily but bleed a lot. Of course, since I'm not awake I don't know. Honestly, since I'm so medically ... er ... nosey, I would LOVE to see videos of what she encountered and what she did. This is all "image guided" with a super miniaturized scope: light and camera in a very thin flexible tube that has to fit thru mm-sized sinus openings ... that has to leave room for equally miniaturized drills, suction, curettes etc. I've seen videos of sinus polyp removal (hubby had a sinus polyp removed quite a while ago) and my gosh, the equipment they have is just amazing ! ----------- "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." - Henry Kissinger Loving America is like loving an addicted spouse - SIGNYM

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Woke up 2 mornings in a row now with numbers in the 70s. So that's a brand new sensor installed last night saying the same thing the old sensor said yesterday. I can't say for sure that I've never woken up to numbers under 100, but if I have it's been a rarity.
Quote: I thought today was going to be the last warm day for a while, but looks like we're getting blessed with another day in the 60's tomorrow. Pushed back my old man coming over until tomorrow so I could make the most of the warm weather. No big deal he's coming tomorrow while it's still warm though because it's going to be raining and the work I'm doing is mostly outside, or going back and forth between the garage/back yard/house and I don't want to be getting wet and dragging that in the house with me anyhow. Going to start with cleaning and sanding down the remaining 3 pieces of trim. Since I did all my errands yesterday, I may at least prime all of that while it's warm and dry outside. Hell... I might even put a 1st coat of paint on them after all. I think after my dad leaves tomorrow I'm going to research that exterior socket for the generator and see what I need to buy. What I'm hoping is that you can buy a bigger one than what your generator puts out. I was considering buying a 50 amp, assuming my generator was a 30 amp just in case I upgrade it in the future. Turns out I only have a 20 amp genny. It's still worthwhile to install even if I have to go with a 20 amp socket, since it would still power the things I'd need it to power in an outage, but it's not very future-proof. Good things happening this year.
