Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Ordered my Apple Watch this morning. Should be wearing it in about a week or so (that doesn't satisfy my need for instant gratification, though). I'm excited. 100% of people that I have talked to about it agree that I will not regret it.
Whenever I move toward something like this, which I consider to be a major purchase in my household, I often go into analysis paralysis. I've been contemplating this thing for 3 months! I get so nervous spending money over a couple hundred bucks.
#1 factor in finally deciding is my ability to monitor my benign PAC's and making sure they remain benign PAC's. I'm sure some of you know what palpitations feel like, but if you've never had them I can assure you that they can be unnerving--especially when you have anxiety anyway.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
