3 hours ago, redwood13 said:I have had atrial fibrillation for about 18 years and all too frequently my heart rate has been running in the low 40's and I've occasionally had spells of lightheadedness and dizziness. This can lead to fainting, which will likely be at the wrong place and wrong time. So last Monday I had a pacemaker installed. But not the commonly used type with a battery implanted in the chest and leads going to the heart, but instead it's the newer leadless pacemaker.This consists of a metal cylinder smaller than a AAA battery. It's inserted into the femoral vein at the groin and implanted into the right atrium of the heart. The cylinder has a threaded end and this is screwed into the wall of the heart. Battery is supposed to last 15 to 25 years. As I'll be 87 in August battery live is not really a concern for me. However it can be removed or simply left in place and a second cylinder installed.Procedure lasted about 2 hours and I had a (miserable, sleepless) overnight stay. I took the pressure bandage off on Wed morning and could shower. No driving for a few days to protect the incision. Otherwise not much drama post-op.
Good move, fainting is not a good idea if it can be avoided. Did you have the operation in thailand or your home country?

No matter the type of bridge (cable stay, suspension, steel truss etc.) the longer the main span the higher the cost. Tunnels almost always more expensive than bridges, especially if you need to tunnel not construct cut and cover.

On sundays i have a macdonalds mcmuffin and a black coffee.
Today i had a mcgriddle. It's so bad. Too much sugar and just the worst for taste and texture.
And coke zero sold out.

Det Udom, hit lucky Boydy wasn't in the Sportsman(yet)
Good job.
14th Intelligence Detachment, simply known as The Det, was formed during The Troubles, a period of violence in Northern Ireland when bombings, riots, and revenge killings were prominent. The violence resulted in 3,600 deaths and around 30,000 injuries; the period lived up to its name.

Yup.. and not many would know the name of the unit to be fair. Probably only Butch.
So the first verse makes it clear that I am in the Province of Ubon Ratchatani but not the town.
As for the military unit, @boydeste ate there today .......
MacDonalds?

I've spent the late evening "mellowing" outside enjoying my life. I'd like to see my final years out here, hopefully another 20 years or more!
But then the irony slowly dawned on me, so I've put it in a riddle that @Butch will understand in seconds..Perhaps about 5 others will too..
I now live in Ubon
The Province
Not the town
The name is the same
As the place I left
Serving for the Crown
A riddle was post
Butch, is the man, in the know
Silence.... time passes
I did spend a bit of time on this in the morning and we almost missed math tuition. The Bournmouth suggestion was potentially good except we haven't heard yet either the military or Issan connection.

When you go to a concentration camp, it really brings home the reality of those places.
You can watch TV programmes but it’s not the same as experiencing it for real. Can’t understand how people could just mass murder people because they are different from them.
"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
Or more simply put:
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

I've never played cricket or baseball. But for me i have minor regrets that i never played cricket and do watch, or more likely listen to, the big cricket games.
