Urology. .. radical nephrectomy

[Danik 2016]

Very radical- but it takes the bad tissue out. Hopefully she will feel much better after that.

[tailor STATELY]

We are prayerfully hopeful. Wheeled into the surgical arena a few moments ago... feeling no pain

Don´t know any related word starting with "X" but expect all will be well.

Cardiac arrhythmia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrhythmia

Wife's heart beat was pounding between 120-165 bpm at any given moment; Blood pressure 90/70: fluids and meds finally calmed things down about 2:00 am... further cardio tests being made. She got her own room as a result. No heart attack... one step down from being parked in ICU (TNU).

[Danik 2016]

Delighted that your wife is better and that she got her own room. I hope you can visit her there.If she hasn´t had a heart condition before it might have been an after effect of the surgery (anesthesia?). I believe the worst is over or they would have kept her in ICU.

In need of more help on my well/holding tank. I replaced a small galvanized pipe that developed a hole in it (having left a patch-fix on while the deluge of rain was occurring (3-weeks?)) - but now something is out of wack so that the water is spurious and sparse at best at my home and my daughter's home. We had our local expert (owns his own well repair business) come out for what we thought would be a 20 minute repair (adjusting the well cut-in pressure relative to the holding tank pressure [-2 psi] and still have problems after he spent 6-hours on the problem (new faucet and new pressure switch https://www.zoro.com/square-d-pressure-switch-diaphragm-14-fnps-dpst-9013fsg2j21m4/i/G1097677/?gclid=CjwKEAiAlZDFBRCKncm67qihiHwSJABtoNIgVfJnl9e 0UG86HJ09guDWBLyNFMrcFtpJoXdEd0NnWhoCw0nw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds .

Excellent resource... saving and perusing. Well expert hasn't returned calls. Yesterday digging trenches looking for underground pipe leaks: 2-possible sources... 1-eliminated after many hours digging... on to the next, but more rain in the forecast for today which will make things problematical. Enough water to allow toilets to work but showers/baths: no.

katabothron... the source of the eliminated leak problem (above). So much rain lately erosion and increased artesian systems are driving me to distraction.

[Danik 2016]

Oh, my! No other experts in the area that could be called?

Raining still: ground too wet to check for leaks (prolly for a while).

Keeping on keeping on... sort'a kind'a bypassed a leak for a temporary fix for our water supply (phew!) using a drinking water safe 50' hose (~$40 USD) attached to our holding tank supply faucet (which is in-line to the main water supply PVC piping); the other end of the hose attached to a brass 'Y' fitting (~$10 USD) which then attaches to two washing machine water supply hoses: 1-hose to our homes' supply input and 1-hose to the old supply line (to supply the washing machine with water... I know, it's confusing). Somehow it works great. The leak is either under a tree, or concrete pad, or an outbuilding (contains the washer and dryer and deep freeze) with a concrete floor, or the sparse dirt ground between. The leak still exists (for now), but the greater pressure to both homes' supply is markedly better. The ground is still too wet from the past rains to see a discernible leak to fix properly yet, but hey! progress !!!

Symptoms occurred just after a visit with his family... alone at his home: was so disoriented and vision impaired it took ~5 hours before he could call me with his cell phone... time / time / time.
