I know this isn't a "social board".  But the calibre of people here make me think you would assist me.
I've explained to some about my wifes health problems.  We recently took a set back.  She's been in Jewish Hospital in Louisville for the last 2 days. Nothing super serious, just fluid build up, 13# of fluid. She's getting IV bumex to help get rid of the fluid. So, thus far, things are fine.
Other than we have no idea as to why she suddenly started retaining fluid that she hadn't been in the past. She takes a rather large amount of Lasix daily, which should be taking care of it.
Tomorrow, she is probably going to have a heart catheterization. This will require her to be sedated heavily, which isn't good for someone with respiratory problems.  So we are pretty uptight about the outcome tomorrow.
We could really use all the prayers we could get.
Thanks friends,
Patrick and Joe'l

We're all family here, so it is appropriate.

My thoughts are with you and yours, POC. Please keep us posted as to her condition, and know you've got family here pulling for you.

The AS forum IS a social board.... it's the only place I can regularly meet new folks with the same interests as I have.
Your version of "ineffective" does not necessarily reflect the truth....
Having been "ineffectively" taught to the Rifleman Standard and having been "ineffectively" taught to teach others to the Rifleman Standard, I believe I prefer the "ineffective" over the other choice.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.  H. L. Mencken

"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

"Great things have been effected by a few men well conducted." - George Rogers Clark
