    Mike the lawyer died suddenly at the age of 46. The check-in angel said, "Here finally. We've been waiting you for a long time." "What do you mean? I'm only 46." The angel replied, "Our records have you as 82." "You must have the wrong person. I'm only 46. I have a birth certificate to prove it." The angel said, "Let me check the records again." She disappeared for a while, then came back. "No, definitely correct. We totalled up the hours you charged customers for. You must be 82."
  6. The blood tests confirmed the doctor's diagnosis of Polymyalgia rheumatica. Tablets have been prescribed which should reduce symptoms considerably within a week or so. According to the information sheet the doctor gave me, recovery varies for different people, and can continue in a reduced strength for a few months to 3 years. Treatment may need to be continued during this time to keep symptoms under control. If it does settle completely, it can recur, although this is rare. The cause is not known. In some people blood tests may find inflammation, which mine did, but there is no obvious cause. Genetics or infection may be factors.

  15. His ICE (Immigration Control and Enforcement) have arrested something like 375 Korean workers from a Hyundai EV car battery factory in America.
  16. It has been a rough couple of weeks. Two weeks ago my best friend phoned me to say he had been admitted to hospital. He hadn't been well for 5 or 6 weeks and hadn't attended the Men's Shed. He complained that he wondered whether it was worth going on, as he was getting exhausted going from the bedroom to the kitchen. Then his leg swelled up and that's when he was sent to hospital. I met his wife in the shopping mall and she said the leg had blown up like a sausage ready to burst it's skin, and was as hard as wood to touch. Last Sunday evening, I received a text from his daughter saying he had passed away. I must have sat in a draft that evening, because I developed a severe pain in my neck and shoulders and laying down to sleep was very painful. Very restless nights sleep for the next few nights, with only tempoaray relief from heat bags on the neck and shoulders.It's usually impossible to get a doctor's appointment in under 6 days, but I managed to get one at 5:45 on Thursday. He suspects it is Polymyalgia rheumatica but ordered a bloodtest to confirm. I had the test on Friday morning and have an appointment to get the results on Monday afternoon at 4:45. Last night I slept sitting upright in an armchair - it was the best night's sleep I've had in a week. I'm still not sure if I will be able to attend my mate's funeral on Tuesday.
