I got a hernia trying to bench press 300 lbs when I weighed 160 in my 20s. I got to 275 and then had hernia surgery. It suuuuuuucked. Sneezing is excruciating right now. I tried to power through the push-up routine Tuesday and had to stop. Going to take a week off.
Paddies had a sweat test done yesterday. His results were in the intermediate range so we're moving forward with the notion that he's a carrier for CF. He will be going to a CF clinic once he moves to Maryland. Although, as the doctor in Vermont put it, if you have one gene and you're experiencing symptoms, you're not just a carrier, you have CF. 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.
The nesting projects are complete. Thank goodness.
Male-ing it in is the most common way, methinks?
Summer Girls by LFO. Whoa, What’s up blast from the past?!
So I am exceedingly frustrated with the direction of the plague thread over the last couple of weeks or so. I think there is one person on there who believes he is offering a reasoned critique of medical orthodoxy, when he is really just cherry-picking data points that reinforce his feelings. 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.
I bought 800 pounds of salt today.
