Septic Line Repair

After a rather long wait, we determined to enlist the aid of a professional so Crimson Septic came and looked at our problem. A big problem was having no information about the type of system that had been installed. I looked through our home information packet but found nothing. We had some problems contacting the Health Department about any records they have on file and learned that the lines that were installed in 1994 were of a kind that can't be purchased any more. Also, the system that the record shows would be installed was much shorter than the 227 feet specified. A short 90 foot run of Ezy Lay field line was all we had and that had lasted 28 years. They were replaced with gravel chambers on July 11th 2022. With around 100 feet of field line with around twice the capacity of the former lines, we should be good now for as long as we have the house.

Effigy of Grief

Effigies are used in grieving by providing a tangible representation of what has been lost, allowing a mourner to connect with who or what they've lost , which can help with the process of acceptance and emotional expression, particularly when the loss is sudden or traumatic; they can be used to focus grief and memories around a physical likeness, offering a sense of continued presence even in their absence

Altras

So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.

There is an African proverb that says "when death finds you, may it find you alive".

On July 31st, I died.... After having several weeks of discomfort in my neck and jawline, I made an appointment to see my PCP to determine what was going on. The consensus seemed to center around a gall bladder problem. But he suggested that we should rule out cardiac. Once I got over to the hospital, I had a wait of 20 minutes or more before I was sent up to my room. Immediately I was taken for a chest x-ray. Once I got back I saw my nurse and the lab tech were there and I lay down to let her get the blood. As I leaned back, I felt a wave of nausea and everything went quiet and dark. I became aware again after a short period of time, I'm unsure how long. and from there it was a lengthy process to be transported to Grandview where I received a heart catherization and ultimately, bypass grafts. It was literally like hitting the off switch on your computer.
