Glad you were able to get a good meal in, and that they caught the platelets dropping before your transfusion.08/08/2023 Weight 180bs - Water weight / retention still coming off !!
Backpain still pretty bad ??
Todays Schedule:
Tuesday - 9am Bone Marrow Biopsy - Hershey Penn State Medical Center
Tuesday -2:15pm - Platelet Transfusion - Ortenzio Cancer Center
This did not go as planned, when I got to Hershey Penn State Medical Center, they did a blood draw and my Platelets were (2), they said the needed to get them up to 20 or more, so I don't bleed out during the procedure. I got a double Platelet Transfusion and the Procedure went off with out a hitch! So my one hour appointment at Hershey tuned in to about four hours. The good news is, I was able to cancel my afternoon appointment at the Ortenzio Cancer Center.
Tomorrow; Wednesday - 8am - IV/IG Infusion (6 Hour Appointment) - Ortenzio Cancer Center
I did get a really good lunch a Hershey Medical Center, a Mac & Cheese Bowl with a lot of chicken it, and the chef chopped up a ton of fresh scallions on top of it. It was soft so chewing it with my sore mouth was easy, and very tasty!

Almost through!I just got hooked up to my 6 hour infusion.
Many would agree! It definitely changed the game, and brought on some of the best tv shows ever following it. The whole idea of a raw and gritty tv show without the rating restrictions to limit the storytelling opened up so many possibilities.I would say the best TV Series ever done!
Oh dude you're in for it now lol. I gotta say I think Sopranos is one of those dramas that did a great job of staying interesting compared to like MadMen that I really wanted to love but got so bored with.I watched the first episode of the Sopranos last night.
I love that it was raw and gritty but not AS uncomfortable as a lot of scenes in Sons of Anarchy. There are a couple episodes from SOA that are forever burned in my head, certain scenes I'll never be able to forget.The whole idea of a raw and gritty tv show without the rating restrictions
Today when I was at the Doctor I got a spasm that may have been the worst pain I have ever had. Lucky for me, they got to see how bad it was, but I think there plan is going to be upping my oxy. I'm not crazy about this but, I may just have to do what they say and put my fears behind me.Glad you're doing well Rocket!! I'm sorry the back pain is still there, is it staying at that magical 7 or less that you've been monitoring at least?
Is that Rich Gaspari?

only other thing I can think of is thc. I read an article this week saying opioid use is down due to the increase in thc use.
Haha that last paragraph! it's funny, my Dad hated it, my Son can do with or without it, and I have smoked off and on since my first time at 8 when my step brothers thought it would be funny to get me toasty and have me do stupid things for their amusement. I have always kind of felt sorry for people who can't enjoy it because it is so damn stress relieving to me. Slows my ADHD brain down a little so the world isn't constantly running at 100mph in my mind.In general, to each their own on that subject. But in Rocket's case, unless prescribed by his doctor, a positive test result could mess him up with insurance and possibly disqualify him from what appears to be an exceptional level of medical care that he is getting. Plus, he's on so many outside the norm medications, and I think that's a great positive thing in his case, but I doubt THC has been studied with many or any of them, whereas at least with oxy it has been heavily studied in almost all things cancer and cancer recovery related since that was one of the original intended uses of oxy to begin with.
I say to each their own in other cases bc I don't respond well to it myself - I found when I was much younger - thc makes me tired, hungry, and on edge - and hell, I stay tired, hungry and on edge for free all the time so definitely don't need to spend money to be that way haha

I'm finding it to be very common that folks I know with pretty strong ADHD value the impact of THC like a medication that gives them relief. I'm the opposite and I really can't stand the way it feels, but I'm open minded to it's value as a medicine potentially. Since it's 100% legal recreationally here my wife and I have had edibles and neither of us like it. It's essentially like taking a sleeping pill for us, lol.Slows my ADHD brain down a little so the world isn't constantly running at 100mph in my mind.
I have terrible ADD - I don't have the hyperactivity type, I have the type in which I can't focus or concentrate and but stay tired all the time. It doesn't help with my ADD at all, it actually makes it a lot worse. I can see how it could help with the people that are super hyper, but definitely doesn't for people like myself. It just makes me tired and useless.I'm finding it to be very common that folks I know with pretty strong ADHD value the impact of THC like a medication that gives them relief.

Yeah, especially edibles, they can be tricky and an edible from an indica strain might as well be a sleeping pill. You can fall asleep waiting for the high not even realizing it has kicked in and just has you super mellow. I have to go with Sativa, or a Hybrid, straight indica, leaves me "indacouch" as they say.I'm finding it to be very common that folks I know with pretty strong ADHD value the impact of THC like a medication that gives them relief.

Oh yeah, I am that constantly fidgeting, always bouncing my leg, tapping my fingers, restless in my seat ADHD! I am impulsive as all get out, unintentionally loud, and often hugely inappropriate. When I can't slow down or sit still I take a hit of my "fuggit" and get my relax on. Now like you though, if I mess with indica I am pretty much useless. I am not going to get anything done and I am going to more than likely eat more than I should.I have terrible ADD - I don't have the hyperactivity type, I have the type in which I can't focus or concentrate and but stay tired all the time.

It is definitely stronger and tastes much better, but nothing else really different. You just need a lot less of it to get you there. A new smoker, or someone who hasn't in a long time should be a one and one type of thing. That's all it takes for newbies.I did smoke pot in high school, but I have never tired any of this new legal pot.
I am not at all interested in starting again !It is definitely stronger and tastes much better, but nothing else really different. You just need a lot less of it to get you there.

I wouldn't assume so with how worried you are about the Oxy. I know my Dad's was only an alcoholic, but he wouldn't touch anything else in his sobriety. Just kind of explaining the differences and similarities from back in the day to now.I am not at all interested in starting again !
Flexeril is legit stuff, it is what I was taking for my back / neck while I was down earlier this week. You might fall asleep though.I just took my first Muscle Relaxer for my back Flexeril 5mg .... we will see what happens???
I fell asleep in my recliner, for about an hour, went to bed and got some good quality sleep!Flexeril is legit stuff, it is what I was taking for my back / neck while I was down earlier this week. You might fall asleep though.

My doctor told me on my last blood test, I was showing early signs of malnutrition. I need to start eating more!
diner last night 3 eggs cheese mashed potatoes and gravyGet some eggs in your diet! Even with a sore mouth you can slurp down a few. Lots of vitamins and minerals there.
I've got so used to Making Protein Pudding and Overnights Proates, I almost forgot you can just blend up a shakeShakes should help as well….you could mix some ice cream, Fairlife milk, and whey protein, throw in some blueberries, strawberries, bananas, really whatever you like, blend it up , very good, high calorie, nutritious milk shake, and very soothing. I had esophagitis before, and couldn’t eat solid foods for about 10 days, so those shakes were a lifesaver and very soothing in the mouth and throat.
Good pic. I need to step up my home gym photos!Yes !
Day in the life style thread is definitely way more interesting than just a training thread to!I'm sure glad I did not name it a training log.
