this is something i have wondered about

yeah hows MRS. Skunk?

Thanks Myke, see my 3rd post above.

i hope they figure out whats wrong so she can get over it
must be hard on you working nights at times like this

Yeah It's rough at times. But when she is not in obvious distress, just generally not feeling well, it's not to bad. BUT, when you get a call at 4am and she says she thinks she's having a heart attack, THAT's when it ain't easy!

can't imagine the feeling

very easy to use.mark 3 locations plus compass.no maps,no directions.I checked mine out last summer.Not totaly acurate.but good enough to get me back to my marked location.

i've got a garmin 60csx which is quite nice.
i don't rely on it though, i just can't bring myself to do that

Just try following an ambulance sometime when all of a sudden they turn on the lights and siren and start hauling the mail! That happened when they FIRST found out she was having a gall bladder and not a heart attack. That was well actually, about this time last year.

What happened was her heart started beating when it shouldn't and not beating when it should. Throwing out double beats and all kinds of weird stuff. The met tech told me later that it scared him to death. She is on a medicine to try and regulate her heartbeat and it works MOST of the time.

must have been rough

two years ago while my mother in law was in hospice, my wife had a bad gall bladder attack and was taken away in an ambulance.
