OT: The Latest News On My Health

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

What are your plans for watching the game, Roo?

<bump>

[chargeroo]

Roo, I have been watching from afar and drawn strength and wisdom from you. Turns out my own battle with the big C has taken a turn for the worse. Hate to bring the board down but had to chime in that your posts have been really hitting home with me now. I was diagnosed with a form of leukemia a little over a year ago which has, to use the words of my hematologist a few days ago, "taken hold." Just before last season, my bloodwork indicated I'd make it thru to game 17. Scary how quickly all that changed last week. I split season tickets with a couple of others so normally the schedule announcement would be a day of excitement as I'd get ready to lay claim to a few games. Instead, that emotion has been replaced with a bunch of questions. Will I be there? Do I bail on the group now?
Enough about my issues. I can't add much to what has already been said. God be with you. If I make it to my first tailgate, know that a toast to you will be the first order of the day! Who knows, maybe we'll both be there!

I still pray each morning for you Bolts54 but I have not seen a post from you in far too long. Please let us know where you are in your fight against cancer.

Look at Roo go....made the draft, and is now ramping up for opening kickoff! Have not been around much this summer, but pop my head in once in awhile for proof of life!

So happy I wont be wearing #36 in TRIBUTE to you this season, but rather in SUPPORT of your fight with cancer. Every game....right up to, hopefully, the Big One.

But wait...there is more!

Your hitting the primetime old fella. I will be wearing the #36 Chargeroo jersey Monday night, December 26th in Indy when the Bolts face the Colts! Taking my 17 year old to our first live game! Lord willing, you might catch me on the tube, lol....

Hopes and prayers for you to enjoy even more time with your loved ones...the 2022 season is just the cherry on top, afterall....but thats cool too, right?

I don't have any change to my cancer. I seem to have reached a plateau, the breathing has quit getting worse but it's quit getting better too. But, I do have some good news -
In the past two weeks I've been given two pieces of equipment that make me somewhat mobile. First, Medicare gave me a PORTABLE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR that I can take with me when I want to go somewhere. It only weighs five pounds and it provides me with four hours of oxygen. I used it for church and it's really a help. Then, a lady from church gave me a scooter -
I haven't taken it anywhere yet except for a spin around the block, but it's really sweet.

These two items have made me much more mobile than I was. Praise God for sending me this equipment.

I have one of those scooters. It’s a life changer! Bless the woman who gave it to you!

And then she does a finger thunk on the head of it. End of stiffee.

Then she didn’t do it right.

Finger thunk trainings should be held in Cleveland.

Well... Houston, lol.

One of my cousins got injured and went to the ER years ago. He was laying there naked and had a very beautiful nurse. So he gets a hard on. How embarrassing is that?

So the nurse looks at it and says "Isn't that cute." And then she does a finger thunk on the head of it. End of stiffee.

One of my Nurse Practitioners is a very very pretty woman. She asked my why my heart rate was 105. I told her it because of her. She laughed and said "Good excuse"

Have you ever tested your BP during a close Charger game?

I just go a new Fitbit Charge 5 which does continuous HR monitor.. I'll be looking at it for sure.

[Craig440]

Funny you say that. My blood pressure usually sits around 117/70, my dentist, every visit would take my blood pressure and it would be like 140/95. She would tell me you need to see the doctor your blood pressure is way too high. I finally told her "its you" or just being at the dentist that makes my blood pressure scream.

I really liked my dentist. I have just had some bad dentists in the past that still haunt me.

Good, hopefully no news from the heart monitor I wore, but I think my issue recently was pressure output, not a weird electrical thing. When I had the heart attack 3 yrs ago, the standard drugs prescribed for blood pressure may have been too good, Now just down to Losartan, at the lowest normal dose, and my BP is controlled, at least when I'm not in front of a white coat.
