How's everyone doing? Update please

Congrats Raghorn! Well done.

Bobwhite, it is your more serious surgery I thought of when I went in for my airway restoration. I'm glad you're doing OK.

As for pictures, what I really need is one of those micro cameras...plunge into the nostrils and check out the stalagmites of blood crystals...we could examine the Doc's stitch work...

Bill being told he's good for another 6 months reminds me of those 90 day guarentees on auto parts...

Awsome! Good Job Raghorn.:) So, what is you're new Position?

It's glad to hear that people are doing better.:) Keep the updates coming.

Bobwhite, Glad to know you're on the mend. Don't think there is any way you could share pics of your surgery.

Also Wildmanh should send some pics for the safety thread.

I've got two pics of my cast and a suprise that I'll share if some one will post them for me.(they are large so they might need to be able to shunk a little)

That Oil sounds like a good Idea Sarge. Will give it a try.



I'm going to keep my mouth shut on a certain matter for up to a week if it kills me. And it probably will just about do that! But I ain't telling. I ain't, I ain't, I ain't.

I might give out hints though - no, that'd spoil it. Hee hee hee!

Come on Rusty, you gots to tell us, or at least give us a hint.

Pen, Glad to hear that things are looking up.:) Didn't know there was a Syracuse near Provo UT.

To Everyone, Sorry to those I might miss. It's taking a while to catch up on 2 weeks of school. BTW I'll supply a Dutch Oven Dinner to anyone that can come, when my my arm is better.
 
Glad to hear everyone is more of less ok, and those that were really ailnng seem to be on the mend:)

Is that anything like being your own grandpa;):D
 
Oops, forgot to say how I was:

I'm fine. Looking for a part-time gig to supplement the photography thing--no luck so far. Job market here is crap.

Wife is past the 6mo point of the pregnancy and doing well, though she has to really take it easy most of the time. but this is good as last time she was on fulltime bedrest by this time...which is no fun for her or me.

It looks as though I spoke too soon...:confused: :(
 
I just recently, the last two weeks, got a new clue as to what may be going on with me. I have an autoimmune disease called Stills Disease of which the full name is......
"The Adult Systemic Adult Onset of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis"
The key word being Systemic which means it fights your own body with its own immune system.
The symptoms are many and varied of which I won't bore you with however you can find out more here if you want.
http://www.stillsdisease.org/
My pics are on there of the infamous Stills Rash if you want to look in the histories of the different people. It's not as painful as it looks and thank the Great One it doesn't itch on me like it does some of the others. I really need to e-mail them a new history as I've been in medical remission for quite some time even though I still have to deal with all the symptoms. They don't go away.
What's really, really bad is the young ones that have this debilitating disease and can't understand and still yet handle it better than many adults, sometimes even me.

One of the medicines I've been on for off and on for a long time may have wrecked my adrenal glands which can mess up the thyroid glands. I have a new Drs appointment Monday and hopefully I can get some help, if not I will try at least two more Drs. before I give up the search this time as I feel it's higly important that I get one of the Kings of Medicine:barf: to agree with me.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
If I can actually get the help I need I may be symptom free since we'll be getting to the root cause of the problem intead of just treating the symptoms.:)
This is one time that I'm actually hoping the Drs. will find something wrong even if it is borderline!!!!
 
Yvsa, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'm pulling for you and you're in my prayers.

Thanks all for the well-wishes. My new job title is "Park Manager," which means I'll be directing the ranger team. Each ranger has specific programs they're responsible for which, together, make up the recreation program at our lake. My job is to lead and coordinate my team, as well as coordinating our activities with other teams (wildlife biologists, foresters, real estate, planning, etc.) to carry out our overall program.
 
Damnit Yvsa. It just seems like too much. Always too much. I don't know how you handle all your stuff.

Thanks guys!!!!:)

Munk there's no way I could handle it alone. The belief's of my people along with my love for my Barbie is the mainstay that holds me up. My Faith is very strong and between my Faith and Love for my Barbie it has kept me from a bullet to the brain.

I haven't even had such thoughts for quite a while now as they are contrary to my belief's to begin with.
Courage and Honor to the last breath that comes naturally has always been a part of the mainstay of my peoples belief's although the thoughts can appear in the minds of someone who has suffered for a long time.
The Grandfathers have a use for you until you are called by them, and so I live my life.:)

Besides I wouldn't want my Barbie to think I couldn't handle it, and so I live my life.
Love is the greatest power in the universes!!!! Love has power over even the pain although you may not think so when you're experienceing it.:)

What was looking to be the light at the end of the tunnel has now burned out...I'm sorry that I can't say more.

I went without a regular job for 3 years. I know what it's like. As a man, it's very shameful. As a prideful older brother, it's very difficult. As a father, it's depressing.

I made it through it because I am persistent, but really because my wife is as tough as nails and our marriage is solid as a rock.

Sometimes tough times can make or break you. That's what worries me most.



I just realized that some of you might find this generosity odd or too-good-to-be-true...let me explain. (it's actually quite selfish)

I am the oldest of 9 children. My brother is the 4th oldest. I teased him mercilessly throughout childhood, to the point that he went into football and wrestling just so that he could one day beat me up...:rolleyes:

Yes, that day came...:eek:

Anyway :o , we have been close friends ever since. But often I have excelled, he has faltered, and vice-versa. We're fiercely competitive and sometimes too prideful. When I jumped into a pool of sub-40-degree water (tough-guy stunt), he did a flip into it. I drew a full set of construction plans for his home for free. He built a computer for me (typing on it right now) and gave me a high-end printer.

What I'm doing is more that just help to put food on the table. It's a part of my life I don't want to let go of. I need him more than I need the extra money.

Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I needed that.
 
Life's tough and if you're lucky you find a woman who'll stay and fight it out with you. If you're lucky you become an old man like Yvsa...(No, Not Yvsa, but LIKE Yvsa...) and are willing to keep on keeping on because that's the only way you know how to live.

btw, I hope no one here has interpreted my stories about a bloody nose as a sympathy getter or as a life challenge; I like to be entertaining is all. Yvsa and Bobwhite and Pendentive are discussing real problems.

When you HI forumites share the struggles of your life it makes it better for everyone here.
