Only 138 days left until I retire.  Not that I’m counting or anything.

I took my drone flying today. There’s an old railroad car yard that’s been left to rust near my home.  I’d been meaning to fly out there for a while now.  Today was the day.  I was off today being that today was Good Friday.  The wind was a little high but I managed to get the flight off without much of a problem.  I’ve got another flight plan that takes the drone down a little closer, maybe I’ll get to do it tomorrow.

I finally heard from my pharmacy today and I should be able to get my new meds on Tuesday of next week.  I sure hope I do well with this med.  I talked to the pharmacist and they told me that there’s a lot of side effects. Some pretty bad.  I can deal with some of the effects as long as the medicine works.  We shall see.

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted an update and I do apologize for that. With my health such a roller coaster and my job is as crazy as it is well, I just haven’t taken the time to write.

First of all, let me say that I’m feeling better today than I have in years.  Seriously, with all the crap my body has been going through, it’s about time.  But, I have a feeling that it’s about to change for the worse again.

We found out that the meds for my CML was causing all the fluid to build up around my heart and lungs; more so the lungs.  In short, the oncologist took me off my meds and my pulmonologist took 1.5 liters of fluid off my left lung.  He left fluid in my right lung due to him not wanting the infection to set in on either or both the lungs.  A heavy dose of Lasix and now my right lung is clear of fluid.  In two weeks I see my oncologist and a new med will be prescribed and one of the main side effects is fluid retention.  Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

At this writing, I will be retiring on August 15th of this year.  After 32 years I’ve finally had enough, well, I’ve had enough long ago but I can officially retire when I turn 55 so I’m turning in my notice.  I’ve got a lot of hobbies so I know I will stay busy.

I’m working on a Youtube video about the tornado that went through our city back in 2011 and I’m doing some test shots with my drone.  Let me know what you think of it.  In the video that I’m working on, I will hopefully show some areas of our city that still shows some damage that the tornado left.  I will also show areas of major improvements that wouldn’t have happened if the tornado hadn’t visited our city.

There’s a lot more going on but I’ll post about it later.  I hope you enjoy the video.
