SwampD Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 Here, here, Bio! Last day was today. Goodbyes were more difficult than I expected. Lots of really good people there that I truly enjoyed working with. Lots of positive feedback on my time there. And a few folks added to my personal contact list. I'm super excited to be moving on, but I am going to miss that place, and the people. They were nothing but good to me, even if the corporation itself wasn't. Old GrandDad 114 in my glass. Drinking to the future today. :beer:

Stoner Posted March 18, 2016 Report Posted March 18, 2016 The insurance company finally approved my dad's hyperbaric therapy! He's been waiting almost 3 weeks for a decision, but he starts on Tuesday next week. Hopefully this will make a difference and allow him to finish healing from the radiation therapy. How's he doing? FWIW my mom had a very positive outcome after hyperbaric treatments. The chronic wounds on her feet healed nicely. After one of the sessions, she also unbelievably read a small sticker on a car from about 40 feet away, demonstrating, I dunno, 20-5 vision or something, as we calculated it. It left her doctor unable to explain the phenomenon.

Knew I was missing something Fantastic; he's finally seeing improvement! :) He's done with 4 of the 10 weeks, and he's already been able to decrease his use of pain meds. It's a long process to taper off some of the heavy duty stuff, but he's getting there. And that's funny about her vision! Was she farsighted before? My dad is VERY nearsighted and his vision has actually gotten a little worse during the treatments, but they told him it's not unusual and should be temporary.
qwksndmonster Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 Skyped with my girlfriend for 2 hours today. It's amazing how much closer she feels while halfway across the world than my ex ever did being just 45 minutes away. I just ate hibachi with the family, now I'm gonna throw down some jams with my little step sister who just rolled into town.

biodork Posted April 22, 2016 Report Posted April 22, 2016 Today is my dad's last hyperbaric treatment. He's been able to taper down from 75 mg (!) Fentanyl patches to 12 mg, and plans to be done with those in the next two weeks. He also has a consultation next Thursday with a surgeon at Johns Hopkins to look into jaw reconstruction options now that he's finally almost healed. It's been a long time coming, and I'm so happy for him.

May the news continue to improve :) d4rk and I are celebrating our anniversary this weekend, even if it technically is Monday. Since we won't be together that day, early celebrations. Probably hitting up the buffalo science museum, since the weather looks sorta ick. So yeah- 5 years. Not bad, not bad. Now if only we could figure out how to live in the same city again...

josie Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Paula's Donuts at work today. Yussssssss I have still never had them.
TrueBlueGED Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Paula's Donuts at work today. Yussssssss I have still never had them. D4rk has failed you. Unless he's offered and you've turned them down, in which case you've failed yourself.
darksabre Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Josie can have Paula's donuts when she moves to Buffalo with me. :P
dudacek Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) 25 degrees at the waterfront for my lunch break and the weekend starts in four hours.???????????? Edited May 6, 2016 by dudacek
Eleven Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 25 degrees at the waterfront for my lunch break and the weekend starts in four hours. That sounds cold, Canadian, or both.
ubkev Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Sounds very cold. Combined with water front makes me think cold and wind! But he's probably using that goddamned commie metric system.
Derrico Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Sounds very cold. Combined with water front makes me think cold and wind! But he's probably using that goddamned commie metric system. Hey! The Brits were no commies :P
