You wanted more activity.  I did my part to help out and give you more activity.  At least with a train wreck you will keep watching just to see what happens.

I'm finally walking without a cane.  I've lost about 25 lbs, too.  Already been seen by Pulmonary.  I have an appointment at the end of the week with Internal Medicine.  I'm now on blood thinner medication.  Just this month alone I've probably had my allotted lifetime allowance for imagery like x-rays.  Anymore and I might start glowing green. 

 

I'm glad to hear you made it out of the hospital.  How are you feeling?

I am getting better one day at a time. I am going to fight.

Keep the morale up.  That is the way to keep the fight up.  Most adults are jerks when they're not feeling well.  That doesn't help them.  My goal was to get my independence back.  You gotta find what motivates you.  Keep up the fight!

Several.  Also deep vein thrombosis.  They pulled 18 inches of blood clots out of my left leg and dissolved the clots in my lungs with heparin.

Glad you made it.  I too survived a Saddle PE two winters ago.  Took some wind out of my sails but still here trucking along.

I had to look up what a saddle PE is.  When I read it I was like "HOLY S***!"  Glad you made it through that.

Thanks.  What saved me, besides prayer, was using the CPAP machine until the paramedics arrived.

I've been on CPAP since I was 29.  I'll keep that in mind.

I tell everyone in hopes it'll save a life should that day ever come.

    • 2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .
    • It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.
    • Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer? 
    • Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.  
    • Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
