And I was skipping to my surgery...I wanted it so much!
The ER doctors and the surgeon all said that my gallbladder had to come out no ifs ands or buts and there was no infection at the time. The surgeon said it serves no purpose, the surgery is easy now and if left it could only cause more problems down the road. I am sticking to the diet very carefully and am still in serious pain. Everyone I know lately has had their gallbladder removed on the first known attacks whether there was infection or not.
This is what I have been doing the past week. It's an old form of bluing called rust bluing. In the olden days they used urine, but these days they make chemicals... come to think of it though, it is yellow
Basically you take the bare metal and clean it very well. It can have no oils on it. Then you wipe the chemical on, put the parts in a humidity box and let the rust form. After the rust has formed you boil the parts and convert the reddish color to black, then polish off the scale with 0000 steel wool. I'm doing my 7th application right now. From what I have read I will reach a point where the parts will stop darkening. Then I am done.
This used to be done a long time ago, but because it was so time consuming other methods were developed. It is still considered the best looking form a bluing and is the most durable.
And of course it can be done to anything metal, knife blades, wrought iron, anything you want to help protect and turn the color a bluish black.
Just got a call from my "daughter". Her son has been rushed back to the hospital in an ambulance with convulsions and the bump on his head tripling in size. He is one sick little boy and I feel so helpless.
Her real Mom called to tell me that she has her granddaughter there and will bring her to my place to play with Monkey and Violet tomorrow as she is really scared of what is happening to her brother.
I worked in a neurosurgical ward in Denmark, back in the '70s. I'm surprised they didn't do some sort of scan of his head before sending him home.Just got a call from my "daughter".

I am sitting here thinking of all the things I have to add to my shopping list for Monday. By the time I feel like actually working on the dang thing, I will have forgotten most of them.
If anyone has 10 cents worth of energy, I will take it. The Chantix is beginning to work. I light up a cigarette, take one puff and put it right out. Have absolutely no desire to finish smoking it.
Yay!!!
