I'd be thinking about how Wifey would cope without me, as I am her carer.
So apixaban is a blood thinner, like Warfarin. And you like me have to take pills then for ever just in case, as I have to with the anti-seizure thing though they reckon they found the cause and zapped it, just to keep my licence. :(:(:(
My quack tells me I have borderline high cholesterol and should take statins. But they have side effects I am not interested in that, lol!
At least we are both here and able to laugh about it all, well a bit!
But it all came as a shock out of the blue, having a seizure for the one and only time, losing half an hour of my conscious life and learning of how I had behaved when "under", swearing at the paramedics, etc, which is totally not like me! I just "woke up" in the ambulance despite having walked there under my own steam.
So weird!

That's a strange one alright :confused:
 
Hey up you lot, tis a mighty cold wind here & only a few flurry's of snow though.
Sunny dry day but I was in the workshop putting my mates defender gearbox
back in.

Silverside for me dinner lurvly :D
Do you do this sort of thing totally on your own? Or does your mate help by holding, lifting, pushing, pulling, passing stuff etc?
Just asking!;)
 
I normally just do mechanical work myself but its good to have a tool monkey
specially if its his motor. :D
I too nearly always work on my own, but I did get my ex s-i-l in to help me put a BMW 528 gearbox back on when all I had was the garage floor, axle stands and a trolley jack. I needed the extra help just so between us we could push it up to the fly wheel/clutch, while one of us waggled the flange to get the splines to mesh.
But he sometimes asked me to help him and that's a different thing. Then we both worked together until it got to bits he couldn't do. like welding up the stainless exhaust on his Rangie.
He did just turn up one dark evening with his Series 2a saying, "We're going to change the head gasket tonight!". Which we did. Had fun at one point trying to find the right sized spanner for something. Neither AF nor metric seemed to fit. might have been Whitworth I suppose. Anyway we had a reet good laugh, go the job done and off he drove in it.:):):)
If it wasn't for lockdown, I'd have him helping me get the autobox of the D2 and back on again.:(:(:(
My other son in law worked for a coupla weeks with me helping me get a kit car up to MOT standard. He was really good, although he thought I was a bit of a "faffer" although I think I am just a bit of a perfectionist. anyway it worked, i go it MOTd and registered! but that is very different sort of work to normal spannerin.;)
 
Wot a dodge nitro?
Yes mate 2.8 - i have to say i was impressed, nice car for the money and came with a full one garage history and one owner, The guy who sold it was welling up as we left .
