OT: Anything Goes 42

[Putt Pirate]

I was able to get accepted to Mayo for my initial visit in February. I really hope they figure this out because quite honestly….. cannot take much more of this. I am so depressed and exhausted fighting it every day. So I will be on here not as much as you used to for a while as I try to figure out how to negotiate life. Sorry to dump on you all but I hold it in at home so she doesn’t worry any more than she does.

What's going on?

What's going on?

One is my immunity. I basically have none (no t cells as one example among other thing I don't want to get into). Getting a cold is like a death sentence now. So I meet with her the 19th to figure out a plan for that. The Mayo part is the nausea, pain, vomit, no appetite gastro issues where I cannot leave bed some days. I have celiac but this is waaaaaaay worse than those issues. I have waited a year to where I cannot stand it anymore so it is partially on my waiting so long. I was able to get in quick for them so I assume they saw something through the medical records I had sent. So it is a 2 stage issue I have that may or may not be connected. Some days are really rough, especially when traveling. I don't eat for days. It is just not normal.

That is the long and short of it. And.....pot is all that has really helped the nausea. The pain is untouchable by drugs it seems. I just want my life back. I want to golf, hike, work out, bike, go birding. I just stay home because it is embarrassing to not control when I vomit. I am really really down and cry at times when I am alone and can (like typing this). But I am trying to stay positive and hope I can work through it. The immunologist is a rock star and she has helped me have hope. I am not giving up hope!!

Really, really sorry to hear that. There's some extremely intelligent people working in medicine nowadays, especially at Mayo. Hopefully they can figure it out quickly and sort things out for you. Thanks for sharing. Hang in there man!

Good luck my man. Wishing nothing but the best for you.

No politics.

People who like ketchup should be deported from our country

I have to get that out, sorry

So anyway, over the last 2 years I lost 50 lbs, so my Hawks jerseys don't fit anymore.
I'm cool either a) selling them or b) trading them for a women's XL

They are all Reebok replicas. The fake one I'd give away, if you want it(it sucks)

DM me if interested.

I think I found those 50 lbs for you. DM incoming.

Ok so I've about had it with not watching Hawk games. I have Comcast/Xfinity, which was $247 a month including high speed internet (1TB data limit). Its actually $240 right now due to the discount from NBC Sports Chicago being gone.

For internet, in West Dundee I don't really have many choices as far as I know besides Xfinity. The Verizon or T-mobile 5G home internet doesn't hold up well for streaming I've been told. I called Comcast and it's $116 a month, including tax, to keep the same high speed internet, but upgrade to unlimited data...and to drop the tv package.

So I was looking at getting the Direct tv 'choice' package, which includes CHSN. It looks like its $112.98 a month plus tax. So you figure once tax is added in, I'm probably around the same money.

Thoughts, ideas, warnings, anything...before I take the plunge? I'm hoping to do something this coming holiday weekend when I have some time.

Highly recommend trying out T-Mobile for yourself before axing it based on what you've heard. I have it here in Long Grove and it works great. No issue having 3 TVs streaming at once, as I do almost every Sat/Sun. But could certainly depend on your location relative to the nearest tower.

I switched from AT&T to t-mobile about two years ago. Service is just as good and it was less than half the price.

Xfinity is on another level though. Nobody can really match their speeds or latency. And if you game, or work from home, the latency is a big deal.

I'm back in the 501 for a real Southern Thanksgiving. Went deer hunting this morning and getting ready for the dinner in a few. Hope y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving.
