OT: Anything Goes 41

[Putt Pirate]

It can take a few months. Just hang in there.

Thanks guys. I had it twice before and it lasted 3-5 days. This time it is really being a pain. I just want to work out again, go hiking, things I usually do that I cannot now. I am hoping in a month or two it is gone? Hopefully. I want to be myself again and am getting impatient.

Mentioned this all the way back in May of last year, but my old man had been diagnosed with gastroesophageal cancer (it's cancer that's right at the junction between the stomach and esophagus). Really nasty cancer that has an ugly survival rate.

Well, after a long and grueling process that involved numerous surgeries and lots of chemo, we went to the oncologist today and a recent Pet Scan didn't show anything, nor did any blood work. 'Complete remission' is the wording the doctor used and we just have to be diligent with scans and such for the next few years in case it manages to return.

Feels good though. Really fortunate with it so far considering how dire this particular cancer can be.

Awesome to hear. This is the same cancer that claimed mine and Pez's Dad just a couple years ago. Really happy to hear he's doing well, and is cancer-free. Congrats bud!

Happy for you brother.

Thank you, everyone.

Appreciate it.

My son got a power wheel for an early birthday present.

The kid in me is quite jealous.

I had Covid symptoms for a couple days just before Thanksgiving. I tested positive for 2-3 days then negative. I had a cough and similar tiredness when working out for 3 months after. It was crazy. I kind of just powered through it and kept working out and that definitely helped. But I also don't have kids so I can just crash out and sleep whenever. It finally went away like end of February.

Thanks for showing there is hope. had a setback l last week but hoping to plow through it this week and get out put to rest.

Covid was odd for me. My first time was pre-vaccination, I had horrible bone chills for 3 or so days and seemingly permanently lost my sense of taste and smell, but somehow never tested positive for it. The latter symptoms makes it either covid or just an enormous coincidence. Going ahead and assuming it was covid, as it was the worst I ever felt from any disease aside from a horrible food poisoning vomiting session.

Second bout was after getting vaccinated, and it was thankfully a walk in the park aside from pretty prolonged lethargy for a month or so afterwards. For that one, I was testing positive for almost three weeks, too.

I'm just having a bad run of health unfortunately last couple months. I guess the way it goes as you get older? But I am in good shape for my age which helps. But now other things are cropping up and headed for a CT Scan this week then other stuff. It will all be OK in the end I tell myself. Luckily my work is patient but they need me in a couple places and travel now is extremely hard but going to try it tomorrow with a visit to Nashville. Depending on how that goes I will circle with my Prez and explain things for near term. The little lady is very concerned and I hide things from her at the moment to keep things more simple and not have her worry so much as I am worrying enough for both.

Feel better

Can’t believe what Brandon Johnson said about those hundreds of kids stomping on people's cars. No accountability, no punishment. People who are already afraid of coming to the city are going to see that news clip and never want to come here again. WTF is happening? It feels like the city is dying

Always someone else’s fault

Would the almighty moderators permit a music thread to be pinned on the hawks board? Other teams have them. I want nice things also.

I wonder if I will ever be rid of these covid symptoms even though I am negative after 6 weeks. I hope the rest of my life isn't like this...... Constant nausea, tinnitus, no energy and sleeping 10 hours + naps, can taste only on the back corners of tongue. If I work out I am totally wiped out for the day and sleep all day so that is out. Doc has no answers. I wonder if having something like celiac which is an autoimmune makes it worse? Who knows but it is a boring life at the moment and I wish it would end.

Raising glutathione levels through supplementing L-glutathione, NAC, etc have helped my post-covid symptoms.

It wont have much of an effect on anything. Chicago wasn't known for it's safety before, this won't move the needle much.

You can always start one.

Didn’t know where else to post this, so I figured I’d do it here. Mods please let me know if it’s a no go.

Friends at EA and Capcom sent me codes for the Xbox Series S/X versions of the Resident Evil 4 remake and PGA 23. Im hoping to get a $25 xbox store credit for each. If you’re interested, let me know. I figured I’d post here first before going to Resdit or Resetera since Im more active here.

Shoot me a DM if interested, first come first serve.

There's actually an OT gaming thread if you look down in the thread list.

It really hits home when someone like me returns to the city and sees what its like now. Company pulled out officially two years ago but still have some family in the area and in IN. It was sickening to literally see homeless in the airport. You hear things but don't really believe it til you see it. I mean the airport is obviously the first impression travelers get of a place. It boggles the mind that things have been allowed to fall so far.
