New Tagline!

Earlier this year I set the blog tagline "Time To Grow Up".

That was just a few weeks before my wife was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, and we had to face up to things like Long Term Disability, COBRA woes, pneumonia, no job, no money, no vacation, no no no.

I'm not a superstitious person, but hey, why not a more uplifting tagline? Why the fuck not, indeed?

So! "Fun Fun Happy Good News Time of Much Joy and Celebration, Skipping, Dancing, and Puppies for All."

Yep.

Another 'Who Knew' Incident

On Sunday Cindy woke up with some shoulder pain, which by Monday had turned into difficulty breathing, which by Monday night had turned into shooting pains in her side/chest.

Since she was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure back in February, we rushed her to the nearest emergency room.

Turns out, she has pneumonia. We had been sure it was something to do with her heart. Pneumonia didn't occur to us, since everyone knows the symptoms for that are coughing up phlegm, fever, chills, and so on.

But it also causes difficulty breathing and chest pain, which were her only symptoms (so far). They hooked her up with some IV antibiotics and sent us home with a prescription for more. I'm really glad we went to the doctor when we did.
