That's what I'm talking about!

I woke up with a horrible sore throat, mucus, etc. Actually took my first COVID test in a while, negative, so I guess I just got my daughter's cold.

I somehow avoided Omicron when it was in our house (thanks booster) and the norovirus from hell three weeks ago, so I am going to suck it up and just be thankful it's just a cold

That's what I'm talking about!

I took that photo at Narita Airport. Pretty sure the toilet had a heating option as well.

It better have, otherwise what sort of uncivilized dreck are we playing at here?

Woke up on Friday with what appears to be trigger finger on the middle finger of my right hand. If I clench my fingers to make a fist and then open them, the middle finger will stop and then "pop" before fully extending. I have no idea what might have caused this, and from what I've read, it doesn't seem like doctors have a good handle on what causes this, either. I suppose I should ask my PCP for a referral for a hand specialist. My mother also had problems with trigger finger, so maybe there's a genetic component.

My mom has trigger finger also. I think she gets an injection for it but no long term fix.

Shyster can you Ghost your own middle finger, a la Mike @GarandThumb?

"About 3mm of play....... there's the wall......*click* nice, crisp break. Now the reset...."

Sort of, yes. The "pop" is at the same point in the finger's travel, although it doesn't happen every time.

Had an appointment with the medical device dept at my cardiologist (that place must rake in the money) today and they were successful in returning RF (wireless radio frequency) to my defibrillator so it can now run checks daily and send alerts to the cardiologist if anything isn't working as expected. Cool technology.

I think the bill was 70K. I paid a few thousand.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology

That was my favorite show in 1973 as an 8 year old.

Modern medicine baby

We were running late to the airport in Columbia and I rushed up the ramp to get to the gate huffing and puffing and bam my defib shocks me

Then four more shocks to correct the rhythm

I’m now at the Lexington hospital waiting fro a heart cath on Monday

Jesus, good luck, faf.

Jesus, good luck, faf.

Thanks, I feel fine now

I should have sat down sooner and caught my breath

Well, Lexington Medical is a great hospital, particularly for cardiac patients. I'm 90 minutes away if you need anything.

Thanks dg

Good luck @Faftorial. Get well soon.

Good luck Faftorial. Get well soon.

Thanks Shaf.

I hate being in the hospital. Nice private room but like a soft prison.

Echoing DG here. Lexington is surprisingly highly regarding for cardiovascular work. They will rebuild you

The hospital minister just stopped by as asked whether I thought the big G was trying to get my attention.

Tell Giroux to **** off

Yikes, Fafty. Get well soon. Nothing like getting sent to the hospital by your life saving apparatus.
