Blackjack's Thread of Illness and Ailments

Postby **dodint** » Wed Sep 30, 2020 8:20 pm

My wife has been trying to keep on track with her PTA program which is in a clinicals semester. Her cancer treatment left her immunocompromised until sometime after the new year.

She contracted Shingles from an asymptomatic patient at her PT site.

Thank you, 2020. Well done. Did not see that coming.

Give her a kiss from us.

From most of us. Don't want her catching what some here may have...

But seriously, hope she gets better quickly.

Well I have mild sleep apnea. No surprise there really. I wonder what a full night's sleep actually feels like.

Feels pretty damn good

Doh, forgot about this. Thanks for the kind words. The wife's treatment took really well and she's basically asymptomatic once this topical inflammation goes away. She just has to be careful for another six weeks and then she should be clear of it.

At least it wasn't the flu, amirite?

That flu thing is a real b**tard, lucky dodge there.

Remember back in June when I smashed my foot into the kitchen island in a botched attempt at comedy? Still haven't regained full mobility, and blood flow in the foot is janky (foot is constantly ice cold), so I went to ye olde orthopedic doctor. Confirmed: 2 fractures on the pinky toe, 1 fracture of the ring finger toe, and 1 fracture of the metatarsal behind the ring finger toe. Bones are fully healed, so my lingering impairment is down to side effects of inflammation. Ya-hoo.

Toes are a dodint. I broke my big toe once and limped for at least 10 months

Petition to change meow’s alias to ‘dodint toes’.

What kind of idiot schedules a dental procedure (crown) on a Friday at 8am?

I'd do something like that, provided I had the rest of the day off. Long weekend, baby.

Postby **meow** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:47 am

I’m more shocked you found a dentist that does procedures on Fridays.

Postby **Kane** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 8:13 am

Crentist probably does.

Postby **meow** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 8:52 am

Your dentist’s name is Crentist?

Postby **Kane** » Fri Oct 09, 2020 9:50 am

.........Yeah.

That's basically why I did it.

Hahah same here. One thing I've gotten to learn after talking to a lot of dentists over the last 3+ years... Working Fridays is like sacrilege in this industry.

Sounds like you guys all have lazy dentists...

You’re an anti-dentite!
