    Got up feeling lousy this morning. My breathing was not good, didn’t seem able to get enough oxygen in my lungs.
    After breakfast went in to take my medications but paused to play my harmonicas first. After twenty minutes I took
    my medicines, then got-on the computer and bought some tee shirts. I felt better and after lunch washed the dishes. I was on this forum for a while then left to do some window shopping on line. Looking at electric shavers.
    I’ve used mostly Norelco over the years. The latest models of the Braun shaver are too expensive for retirement
    Shaving. Are there any other good shavers out there? i thinl I’d like to try a good foil shaver.

    Thank you, because I got to learn a new use of the word foil today.

    I've often thought about what a nuisance shaving every day must be. Good luck in finding a razor you like.

    Recovering from another lung exacerbation. Doctor asked if iI
    was ready to call in hospice. Perish the thought. "Not yet," says I.

    Decided at my age and condition I didn't need a new shaver. Keep my old nerelco
    and if need be I can scrape a little skin off and use it as a trimmer. Maybe in the next life.

    Yesterday morning before the power came back on, my heath care provider in OKC, not being able to contact me by phone for several days called the Norman police and asked they check on me, which they did.

    But today is a bright sunshinny day in central Oklahoma, a Sunday Morn, and when I arose this morning, although it took me a while to dress I put on a
    pair of navy, wool blended slacks, a lightly starched, white shirt, my best house shoes. With my navy suspenders, I felt all dressed up, with nowhere to
    go, still I felt better for having done so. Live while you 're among the living, as it were. No sweat, I'm good to go this morning and until the next crisis.

    @Bill Boggs -- I noticed your post in the Profile Posts. I hope all is well with you.

    ETA--I just saw your post "over there" that you have recently lost your younger brother. My sincerest condolences to you.

    No, nothing omonous, mere trying to get rid of my last profile post and didn't know how to delete it, so I replaced it with what came to mind.

    It's a little bit odd, I'm the oldesrt of four boys in my family, and I've had a diease which slowly worsens and I've had it so long it it has me house bound and constantly short of breath with no reserve. I have lost all my younger brothers. The youngest died first, then the next youngest, now a couple of days ago, the last has gone. Sort of backwards, isn't it?

    Thanks for your comments bothhere and overt there.

    I lost my older brother in August; sad to think that I can't pick up the phone and hear his voice ever again. I still have my older sister but now we are the last of the Mohicans, so to speak.

    I'm glad you are OK.
