Dictated today at 1:30 est...
It turns out that I did have a mini-stroke and there are other brain occlusions. Since I am going to a another hospital, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, the brain guy is going to have this checked out further.
Tomorrow I will be having a cardiac catherization/angiogram to let me know why the chest pain. WISH ME LUCK.
By the way Corky, how is that couch-raising fund coming along?
Thanks to everyone for their phone calls and cards. Your kindnesses are so appreciated.

Who Am I?
I'm a crotchety old guy who enjoys ranting and raving about the injustices of the world. While many of my rants are political in nature, I can complain about almost anything. If I were a cartoon character, I'd be Grandpa Simpson or an elderly Eric Cartman.
And that is me in the picture. : )

Always prayers and well wishes your way. You won't need luck tomorrow, your guardian angel will be with you
I hope things go well with the cardio guy. We miss you!
Aw Crotchety, looks like you'll do almost anything for a little attention! *smile*
Again, so sorry about all this suckiness going on...and again my thoughts and prayers are still with ya!
And thanks to Mrs. Crotchety! *smile*
please. we need you. it takes ball to yell at cars. don't go, quite yet.
That's a good hospital. I wish you well. Haven't called etc...because I didn't want to be intrusive. But you are in my thoughts.
Checking in to see how you are. Hoping for the best : )
My Gosh with all they are putting you through,they should give you a medical license when you're done!
Hoping and praying you get out soon!!
Joe;
Get outta there! I gotta have my dose of Crotchety every day.
Miss ya buddy! Get well FAST!!
Thoughts are with ya all the way.
Good Luck, best wishes, and happy thoughts
The Beast and I send SO much luck, but you're a tough old guy and I know you're gonna be fine. Wishing you love and light.
What a boring place this internet has been without you.
Good luck, good wishes, and prayers (albeit from the Dark Side) are being sent your way. Half a day at a time Joe.
I hope you get everything worked out in short order. You've certainly been through a lot. So has Mrs. Crotchety too. You both will remain in my thoughts and prayers. :)
Aw for cryin' out loud.
That's the trouble with these doctors. You go in for one thing, and they find four more.
Hang in there Crotchety. We're all pulling for you.
Well, it has been obvious to me for quite some time now that there was some serious brain damage going on with you. I mean, anyone who could cheer for the Yankees and the New York Football Giants with such gusto is just not right in the head.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, some might think that I am being a jerk for continuing to pick on you at a time like this, but I figure I need to get as many shots in as I can before you come off of the ropes. For I know how you work.
hang in there Joe! Hope to see you on here full time again soon - John
Geez - from New Jersey to New Brunswick - what's next - New York, New Zealand, New Bedford, New Orleans, New Haven - you get the idea.
Anyway - best of luck to you and yours, hurry back - Kate
I feel for your struggles.
Best wishes for the best possible recovery.
Hang in there, Old Man. As Leslie Nielsen said in Airplane, "I just want to tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you."
GOOD LUCK! And get well soon.
Sending good vibes!
At least I think they're good vibes. They happen every time I eat volcano tacos.
Thinking of you often.
Keep us updated.
Good luck, Joe! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Good luck, Joe! You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Well-wishes and prayers! You can't leave...I just found you!
Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure everything is going to go smoothly. New hospital = new nurses:) Take care of yourself.
Marsha was right! They doctors are like mechanics, finding more things just to get more money! LOL
Miss ya! Get well soon! (I think the zucchini is getting moldy!)
((((COM)))).....not only wishing you "luck", but sending best wishes for a speedy recovery.
You take care and keep checking in, when you can.
You're missed!
Boy when you do it, you really do it..Good luck in the Hospital move, let us know knew contact info when ya get there!
Lots of luck to you, Crotchety, always. Thanks for keeping us updated.
Old Man.. We moved to Kansas so we have been off line... Dani c. has done her best to keep me updated on you when I could grab the net somewhere..
I've been thinking of you and wishing you well..
I've also used the magic wand and the magic carpet to transport the very best Karma your way...(use it for good, not evil) ha ha
get well and hang in there..
Just found your blog via Nanny Goats in Panties. Thanks to your comment about retaining water like you are 85% Shamwow, I now have Cheeto spray all over my keyboard. I guess that's what I get for eating Cheetos in front of the computer at 4:00 in the morning. =)
Best of luck with your recovery. I hope you are able to go home soon. Congratulations on being able to find the humor in your hospital stay!
Good luck with your tests. Keeping you in my prayers and continuing to send positive thoughts your way.
Maybe we can use one of your brain xrays for a caption this. What'd ya think?
holy shit....HUGS!!
I don't know anyone else who could turn water retention into a ShamWow joke.
Make sure Mrs. C gets a good photo of you next time you're all wired up. The Foleying might be TMI.
I'm glad Mrs. C has a good sense of humor about all you sponge baths with the beautiful nurses.
Be prepared to hear a lot of jokes about your brain doc along the lines of "did they find anything?" When I had an MRI after having a migraine for a week and half I heard that all the time. Not. Funny. Ever.
Hang in there. You've got the whole Internet rooting for you!
dude! Good luck with the angiogram. I hate the suckers. I have had....uhm, I think 8 of them (brain - I had an aneurysm).
At least they only have to go to your heart.
My best one was when I got up to go to the bathroom and it was enough pressure on the artery in my leg and it broke open the scab and I started spurting blood all over the bathroom. I found it amusing but my husband was less than thrilled. He wanted me back on the bed but I didn't want to get blood on my new sheets and duvet cover. It was a pretty funny fight as I was spurting blood from my femoral artery all over the bathroom floor.
heh heh.
Obviously I survived.
Take it easy. I am thinking about you.
