New World Datsuns...

Glad the medical stuff cleared up.

As for the Datsun parts, might as well unload and turn the useless greenbacks into something useful.

Oh boy , couldn't agree more

I drilled the stump and put salt in the holes, I read it can rot this stump out in a year, we shall see.

I have not been doing a lot Datsun wise lately, the only things that I have done were caused by code enforcement, the 1980 Datsun kingcab turbodiesel had to be moved because I had parked it on an unimproved surface(dirt next to driveway), I took it off the airjacks which they called inoperable, then I moved it to the driveway, took a photo, and then drove to the office and showed them, but the guy had to drive to my house and take a photo himself to close the complaint, he mentioned that he wished everyone was like me(I took care of it right away), I then asked him if I could put pavers next to the driveway so I could park the truck in that spot again, he did not know the answer to that question.

So I went back to the office and asked the same question at the permit section, they said if I were to park on it(the pavers) I would need a permit, but they had to send the request to another section to do some math, it appears one can only add to one's driveway if the storm sewer can support the extra driveway surface, they asked me for some measurements, I got the measurements which worked out to slightly less than 220 square feet of added surface and they sent the info to the other section, then my computer died.

It took a couple weeks to determine that my computer was not fixable, so I bought another one(Dell Inspiron 16), when I finally got back into my Gmail account I found a message from the city code/permit section that they approved me to expand my driveway by 220 square feet with pavers, what I thought was strange is they consider pavers an improved surface my neighbor looked up what they considered an improved surface, what is really crazy is one can legally completely cover ones property with pavers without getting a permit as long as one does not park a vehicle on it.

I will be buying the permit Monday unless they tell me I have to do something else.

Petty tyranny.

I was doing the same thing, so he had to open a complaint also, the neighbor was the one that code got the complaint about.

I have not said anything about this, I have not been able to sleep at all in any form(not even nod off for a moment) for 8 nights/9 days, I was beginning to think this was it for me, at 6 days of no sleep I went to the Legacy emergency room, they said I had Pneumonia, I have had it before and it was nothing like this, but now I understand that what I had in 2019 was a different type of Pneumonia, they gave me antibiotics(3 different types), one was thru an IV, and 2 were prescriptions I picked up the next day, these meds gave me diarrhea, when I picked the meds up the next day the pharmacist questioned me about why two different types, I shrugged as I did not know but they gave them too me, I took them that morning, by this time I wasn't eating much of anything or motived to do anything, I was not hurting nor was I hungry, but it said to take these meds with food like crackers/bread, or a small meal, that night I started coughing blood.

I went back to the hospital the next day without taking any more of them pills as they told me if anything changed to come back, this is 8 nights without any sort of sleep, I thought how long can one live without sleep, they did a CAT scan this time, and finally showed up with a rolling computer and showed me, they said in was Pneumonia, put me on IV antibiotics again, told me to go home when released and resume my prescriptions tomorrow, before he left I asked when I might see results, he said two days maybe and he left, I thought I have been on them for 2 days now.

That night I went to bed at midnight feeling no different, I put water next to the bed as the last few nights I would get dizzy if I got up, I laid down, closed my eyes, all of a sudden, my mind started getting fuzzy and it was getting clear as every moment past, like a dimmable light bulb was being turned on, I thought I am waking up but everything was still black, then I felt my body and I opened my eyes, I was still in the same exact position as when I laid down, but it was 6am something, that was the first time I have ever woke up in my life like that.

I talked to that doctor when he was in front of me and asked how I got this Pneumonia, he said you were likely sick(I was) and your immune was compromised, I asked where I got it, he said it is everywhere, even in the air.

I think everyone that knows me thinks I am overly paranoid about getting sick by getting too close to a vaccinated person, I let my neighbors kids look thru my telescope one night a few weeks earlier, the parents are not vaccinated, but the kids were to go to school, I think(don't know, think) they are why I was sick as vaccinated people make me very ill sometimes(one time for 7 months), but recently I have been letting my guard down I had done things I had not done in over 4 years, I got into someone else's vehicle and went into a crowded tropical fish store, I suspect I am going to get paranoid again and everyone is going to think I am crazy again, all I can say is once you have been thru 9 days and 8 nights without any type of sleep at all, then we can talk about it.

Damn man, take care of yourself the best way you know how. Don’t worry about what others think or say. If you feel like you need to stay away from vaccinated people then do it. I don’t know if that’s what’s going on or not but I know being paranoid is not something good for your health.

I am feeling much better now.

Well I have been told that all the antibiotics did not get rid of all the Pneumonia I have/had, so I am back on antibiotics again, the reason I went to the doctor was because I started coughing blood up again(not a lot of blood).

I feel fine, I do everything I normally would do without an issue.

How’s this going wayno ?

I feel fine.

I received a notice from my doctor that I they do not think I have phenomena after the second round of antibiotics, they called a lung specialist to set up an appointment with them for me to have them try to figure out what I have, I am not happy about this, I breathe fine and have the whole time, I did not even know what I had, but after 2 rounds of antibiotics now with no change in images.......

I asked them before the second round of antibiotics if this could be damage from the last time I had chemical pneumonia back in October 2019 but they brushed it off as someone that did not know what they were talking about, I am not excited at all about going to another doctor about this, I feel fine.

I know exactly when this started/how it started, but they do not like what I am telling them.

Keep on keeping on Wayno.

Sounds serious. I understand what you’re saying

Damn man. It sucks having to go to another doctor but at least get checked out, err on the side of caution to make sure it’s not something serious.

I went to that appointment and that doctor did not address why I was sent there, I was sent to figure out what was going on in one lobe/section of my lung, this guy tells me I have a sack of fluid covering my lungs, at least it appears to be an area in my lower lungs, he prescribed me a pill that dehydrates me(my whole body) to try and make this sack get smaller/dry out, this pill also has some side effects, dizziness, low blood pressure which causes dizziness, imbalances in potassium/magnesium(I have to have blood work done every week to watch these issues), there were other things I do not remember, also he said I need to make an appointment with a cardiologist(heart doctor) soon as like everyone else they say I am near heart failure, I do not know how this guy came to that conclusion(maybe he seen/read this in the emergency room comments), the emergency room did say this also, but they did the two tests(an hour apart) and said the numbers were not getting worse so they discharged me, if they had been worse I would have been sent/admitted to the hospital on the spot, I think my situation at that time(I had not slept in seven days and six nights), it would not surprise me that it showed that, I doubt anyone could stay awake that long if they tried, I felt like crap and that was why I went to the emergency room in the first place(at 6 days without sleep, then at 8 days because I started coughing up blood).

I know when this all started, but no one believes me, if they were me then they would believe it.

If I quit showing up here everyone will know why.

Well don’t say that. You definitely need to try and figure out what’s going on. I will tell you, from my experience, if you’re at the hospital and you don’t have insurance they will discharge you as soon as they are comfortable doing so. And they definitely don’t want anyone dying there as it looks bad for their statistics.


I’ve never known your age but I am assuming you are probably mid-late 60’s. Heart failure is possible but you usually have a lot of fluid buildup, swelling of the legs, and a general lethargic feel. I don’t believe you have said anything about those symptoms.

You seem to have an acute awareness of your body and health so I’m sure you’ll get it figured out, let’s just hope the doctors listen between now and then.

I am 68 years old.

How's this going wayno ?

I am still breathing. lol

I do not feel any different than I did when I seen that doctor the first time(December 4th), I was breathing fine then also.

This is great news, glad you are still around sir
