[Sandman Vol]

Not intentionally… I share anything sports related to get us by until football season gets here…just bare with me and chip in

I don’t have any socials, as the kids might say.

Dude I’m dumping the magazine in this thing..F**** that holy snapping turtle.

Not visible to those without instagram. I have a video from a course just south of the city where we came across an alligator snapper that was 2.5x2 ft. He was prehistoric. And he did not want to stick around while I filmed him. Scary creature.

 

[Sandman Vol]

Thank you. People, we're getting older. Don't forget to get your checkups.

Thankful you are getting the checkups and such. As much as I can’t stand your kind, I wish you no harm as a fellow VFL.







Can’t say the same for that gump pussum.

I developed aFib in my mid to late 30s. It was very infrequent, maybe 1-2 times a year. At the time I didn't know what was going on. Typically, I would wake up in the middle of the night with a racing heart. I went the doctor but he could never diagnose it without me experiencing it while he was present. He advised that I should go to the doctor or emergency room whenever i was experiencing symptoms.

This went on for about 10 years. My wife and I joked that the best way to get it to stop was to drive through the parking lot of the hospital.

Finally I was able to get to my doctor while it was out of rhythm. Next thing I know, I'm in the back of an ambulance headed to UT hospital. I was officially diagnosed with Afib. This was around 2006 and ablations for afib werent really a thing. I was put on two meds and a aspirin.

As time went on, I gained 20-30lbs. The doctor said it wasn't the meds but I'm not sure what else would have caused my weight gain, as it had been stable for years. In response he asked if I ever had a sleep study. I said no, and he said I had sleep apnea written all over me.

He sent me to a sleep doctor where I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea with 59 stop breathing episodes in an hour. My cardiologist explained that studies had revealed sleep apnea is a major contributor to afib.

Sleep doctor put me on a cpap to which I didn’t tolerate it very well for various reasons. Sleep doctor sent me to an ENT where she worked on my sinuses and I eventually had my tonsils removed in 2010. These procedures cleared up my sleep apnea. In time my afib completely went away. I experience zero sleep apnea now and are totally off all meds.

Have you ever been tested for sleep apnea?

I had 57 disruptions an hour during my test after gaining 35 lbs over 2 years. Thought I was depressed. Turned out I was just as much sleep deprived as anything.

Still need to get my 95% deviated septum fixed, but at least now with the cpap I am sleeping well enough to put in a full work weeks worth of work.

Shocking absence of happy Gilmore memes given the weekend. Come on yall, it’s The Masters!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I can’t wait to see the overreactions that will inevitably come

Rory is playing like @$$ today....that's all.

 

[TheRain]

For the first time, in years really, I'm not one bit worried about the Defense.

I like Rory, I would’ve been happy for him but I’m glad Sunday will be more interesting now. Unless he goes on a heater to finish out today

 

[DD4ME]

I have not. Interesting.......
I collapsed twice about a month ago and wore a monitor for a week or so......

Prayers brother.

So what's recap on o&w
Hearing o line is ruff on interior and or DL is better than imagined.

QB race sounds even. Which means gmac would start imo.

 

[Orangeburst]

The bikini waxed greens look crispy and super fast.

 

[volbeast33]

The O&W game is over? Did Tennessee win?

It was the most pathetic orange and white game that I have sat through. A complete waste of time. I wish they had just autographs and maybe a skills day since they were so worried about injuries. Tackle, Tackle, Tackle…. Thud, Thud, Thud.

Anybody that claims that they can tell anything from today is lying.

Try clicking it maybe it will let you watch it!..this is a video at sea of a dude cutting off a wolf fishes head (whatever that is, kinda looks like a grouper to me), showing why people have lost limbs due to the crushing power it has. they put a full can of coke in its mouth and crushed it like it was nothing…it was just wild watching it due to it being decapitated

Probably was called off once the astronomical pressure set in. It's going to be important to be able to field a team in the Fall.

 

[SSVol]

No past history of hypertension?

I’m sure you have excellent docs. I’m also a believer that pts need to be their own strongest advocates. Cards and hcps many times don’t look at the endocrine system.

- aldosterone to renin ratio (for HT I would *assume* card has already done this one)
- metanephrines test
- 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test
- possible renal artery stenosis (needs ultrasound to see this)

And with that you outed yourself as a medical professional. Noted.

I remember going to the dirt track races and getting free cans.

That's the good ole days, going into Watson's grocery store and buying a bag of Redman for my dad in Cleveland when I was maybe 8years old? Or it might have been Cooks, one or the other.
