Maybe. Oddly, mine seems to be dropping as I age, and even as I go through periods of high stress. Something genetic, I suppose.

With the new member who went around replying to old threads, I was seeing a bunch of names there that haven't posted (that I've seen) since I joined. I always wonder what those folks are up to - would be cool for a handful of them to show up every now and then.

Like who? There are some old guys it would be good to hear from again. Some... no.
the ones not worth seeing got deleted with the basement!
I don't know most of them, so I'd think it was cool until it wasn't.

Honestly, some posters I actually enjoyed talking to once the politics were removed from the forum.

I've been here awhile and there are a lot of good martial artists who no longer post on MT. I miss thier input to martial arts discussions and their knowledge too

I have a knee brace collection.... it ranges from compression sleeve all the way up to rigid

Had full cord of firewood delivered after lunch. Was having "fun" stacking it until a group of yellowjackets decided maple smells divine.

If that was the group of yellowjackets involved, I would only have needed to turn off my playlist from my iPhone.Yellow Jackets...what so bad about that
Been out of work with a hurt back. Immediately I consult my Martial Arts handbook of healing -
Italian food, wine, cigar. Repeat as necessary. See, martial Arts can cure anything.

It works better with whisky (or whiskey). Not instead of the wine, though.
Get better fast.
After 5 months off for treatment of my throat cancer (surgery, chemo and radiation), I'm finally back. First two shifts, I thought I was doing good (not busy...). Third shift, I spent three hours in a resuscitation of an HIV+, alcoholic, GI bleed with a hemoglobin of 3 (!). He got alllll the tubes and alllllll the meds and alllllll the bloods. I was damn near dead myself by the time we got him stabilized and off to ICU.
Glad to hear you're back at it DD. I hope treatment went as well as can be hoped for.
Thanks. I think it did, but we've got a PET scan scheduled for next month to make sure it's all gone.
Even as long as I've been in the ER, it amazes me how much treatment like this takes out of you. I had a tonsillectomy and a radical neck dissection followed by daily chemo and radiation. I pretty much got up, went to treatment, and then went back to bed, exhausted. If I slept 19 hours a day, I was only tired, not a zombie.
I've still got no salivary gland function, so cotton mouth is a way of life and eating is...interesting... Minimal taste (which is a vast improvement over the months with ZERO taste, or the 6 weeks when the muscles used to swallow were paralyzed and I had to use a feeding tube). The left side of my face, neck and shoulder are numb. My beard hasn't grown back (except a soul patch), and I'm no longer a blond.
All of that I can work with, though.
Our senior students all pitched in to help at the dojang, which doesn't surprise me at all.
On the whole, a good outcome - I hope the PET scan brings confirmation. That's some scary stuff to deal with, brother.Thanks. I think it did, but we've got a PET scan scheduled for next month to make sure it's all gone.
