Unfortunately, my 96 years old uncle fell down and ended up in the hospital with six broken ribs and this morning my mother (her brother) and I went to see him.

@Tonny2 Sorry to hear about your uncle and his fall, glad he is doing okay but of course, in pain and I hope he heals. 96 is impressive. Anyhow, hope to see you on the next call. The next monthly call that's more social will be in Jan, although there is the bi-weekly peer support call, and that's next Friday and if you want will ask the host to ensure you get an invite: See https://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=77329.0

I don’t remember if he was Kent or Jim talking about my sisters cancer, thanks for asking, fortunately she’s doing pretty good so good that she is right now in Cancun on vacation.

@Tonny2 might have been both of us. I know I did comment in your Spanish thread, and glad to hear that your sister is recovering well enough to have a vacation. hugs, Jim.

I hope this text size helps you as I know you have eyesight challenges but if you need us to write bigger or bolder than this when replying please let me know

ojo. @jimdublin, thanks for replying and definitely your great guy. Always trying to help me. Thanks for your concerns about maybe being able to read but my cell phone reads me your comments although sometimes I do have problems finding the button on my cell phone to activate the speaking action when that happenes and the message is short I increase the size of the screen. I really appreciate, you being such a good person … and yes, I read your Spanish response. Let’s make a deal, I teach you, Spanish, and you teach me English….hugs

Thinking of Sunday the 28th of Jan for the next meeting?

The reason for the Sunday instead of Saturday meeting is ill be attending that conference for people living with HIV on Saturday the 27th.

leatherman · « **Reply #53 on:** January 05, 2024, 06:56:22 am »

I think Sunday would be good. I'd like to hear about your conference.

in the decade before Covid, I used to go to a bunch of events like that and got a lot out of them

ojo. Hi there!… I must confess, I couldn’t participate today, because of my insomnia problems, I fell asleep around 9:30 AM and didn’t wake up until 1230 or so. Maybe next time you guys keep inviting me. I’m glad that you’re having fun in the encounters….hugs

Quote from: Jim Allen on February 22, 2024, 09:22:54 am

hearing whats going on with you.

right now I'm drinking water. yuck. but the visit to the doc is coming up in a couple of hours and i need my blood to flow for that blood draw.

Of course, water will help for the pee test.

But that's a tricky one. You have to time it out for the "maybe pee before you take the 50 drive to the doctor's office" to the "keep drinking water during the ride for the fluid tests coming up" vs. the "can i wait to pee now at the office until I get to the lab, or do I need to piss so badly, I'll risk going as soon as I get into the office".

welp, it's time to finish getting dressed. I need to put on jeans and some underwear that I look good in.

You never knew when you might end up with your pants down at the doctor's, and they usually would rather have you in underwear than finding out you go commando.

LOL

blck/wht checkerboard boxer briefs and the visit was good. Larry has been having issues so he got an EKG and a xray. Even though they didn't need the urine sample from me, I gave it to them anyway.

Then, after getting much needed haircuts, we met up with my best friend and his mom at the Mexican restaurant when we got back to town. It is Margarita Celebration Day! Now I'm super drunk and can't stop the hiccups. LOL Larry told them I get extra touchy (ie horny) when I'm drunk, so we'll see how the rest of the night goes.

ojo. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it again. It seems that the only time I made it there was not a gathering…i was visiting my uncle who is 96 y/o, I remember telling you guys that he fell down last December, and he broke six ribs, he was sent to a rehabilitation center where he fell down again, and broke his hip. He had surgery to repair his hip, went back to their rehabilitation center, he was learning to walk again, he seems like he was doing pretty good, but yesterday he was sent to the ER with pneumonia. Adam think that he’s going to make it, he looks too fragil and he seems tired. Less skip finger crossed… Maybe next time I will make it to the gathering… Hawks.
