My guess is most people posting with critical opinions about how basketball should be played at the highest levels of the sport have very dusty trophy cases.

So that makes two sons with CF. I'm getting sweat tests done on the other two as soon as I can arrange it.
Paddies doesn't have a problem with his lungs that are CF related, he has GI symptoms and that's probably why he is so skinny (5' 11" 110 pounds). The Drewsk has lung symptoms although he is managing quite well. He had multiple pneumonias as a teen-ager. He is someone who often needs to take antibiotics for a cold because if he doesn't, it can develop into pneumonia. He has been, quietly, extra careful about covid. He hasn't bothered to find a new pulmonologist since he graduated but he is a very good mask wearer/social distancer. He got a vaccine as soon as he could too.
Gracious, I’m sorry to hear that. All my best to your family. I’m assuming you have CF somewhere in the family line?Quote:

Well I don't have a ton of time or patience for feelings in that thread. There were about three people on there who had unbelievable insight that I found to be amazingly useful and informative. And this person has derailed that. I don't think it's malicious. But I think that is what happened. And I'm saying it here so I don't say it there. Forgive me.

His dad and brother do though. Mild stuff, but they both suffer greatly when they have respiratory infections. So, I guess that is a family history - but neither have been diagnoses with CF. I only attribute it to a CF gene because I have seen them both with bad colds - it is pure speculation on my part.Quote:

I sprained my ankles playing pick up at Duke many times. They let me go see the physical therapists that worked with the student athletes. IIRC, these were the graduate level students in training. Anyway, I’m proud to say that my senior year sprain was the subject of much interest in the PT rooms in the bowels of Wilson. It was the most swollen and colorful ankle they’d seen!Quote:

Group portrait take by Arrow. We are driving down to RISD and UMass Dartmouth sometime in the next few weeks to look at those schools (both offer degrees in photography.)
A few days ago.
Me: Do you know when you've gotten the shot?
Arrow: Yes.
Me: Do you stop then?
Arrow: No, I usually take a few more frames.
Me: Are you ever wrong when you think you've got the shot?
Arrow: No, not really.
