Connie, too many guts? That's both disturbing and awesome.
In his prime, he had a 64-inch chest measurement. His rib cage is larger than normal, and that space has to be filled with something. I need to find the name of that Norwegian valley his ancestors are from that have the same build as he.
64 inches?! Jesus Christ, did his great-grandma bone THOR?
I'm very happy for your aunt, Trudy.
DCJ, I hope that the diagnosis quickly leads to an effective treatment.
What Zenkitty said.
And Daniel, I'm glad you are getting this fixed, because not dying anytime soon is a good thing.
Yay on good surgery for amyth's bro and Trudy's aunt. We likey.
All kinds of ~ma to ND and Pix. I really hope they figure out what is going on and fix it. Soon.
DCJ: yikes. So glad you're going to get a CPAP. Those are dangerous low levels. Also, sleep apnea can exacerbate diabetes, so you need oxygen, man!
Oh, I have a question on the phrasing of something. I know that sometimes I word things oddly, and/or I assume that other people are understanding what I said in the exact same way that I meant it, but then it will turn out that that isn't true. I'm used to that, so I try to be careful in what I say.
Quiz time:
"From the catalytic converter to the tailpipe would need to be replaced."
Do you read that as:
(A) Including the catalytic converter,
OR
(B) Starting behind the catalytic converter (and therefore not including it), and then going back to the tailpipe?
I'm just curious, because my dad and I had a 10-minute conversation of frustration that was frustrating precisely because of a misunderstanding about the aforementioned phrase. And this was a situation where I thought I was being clear.
I would say including the converter.
DCJ, can't help but wonder if your low oxygen levels are playing into your leg not healing. So Not A Doctor, but I seem to recall something about cells needing oxygen to heal.
