Ain't nothing cheap about anything anymore.

You’re right but dentists seem to go that extra mile…
Did y’all like your new doc? We have to find a new one too. Our guy is too generic…

Good morning folks. Sitting in the emergency room waiting on the daughter. She came down with a stomach thing three days ago and can’t seem to get over it. Had a painful night so had to get it checked out. Got a call this morning to get the kids on the bus and take her to the emergency room.

Hope y’all are having a good day. I’ll check in later when I’m able to catch my first BOTD

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. She has an infection in her colon and is getting fluids and antibiotics now. I’m waiting at the house for the school bus and mr subbie going back to the hospital to hopefully pick her up soon. We did manage a smoke break in between trips but nothing like the norm today.

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Daughter is home now. She is in bed and has girlfriends to help her get the kids to bed. We will go there again in the morning to get them on the bus. She has antibiotics and other drugs to help her now. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow. Thanks for the nice thoughts GW

I wish they had a nerd meter on the webpages that tells you their credentials. Our doc is is the minimum requirements to be a doc for sure. He had a military background but I guess maybe that was not a plus in his case.

US Navy. I remember seeing his Vet status and probably weighed that into play when I was choosing but he’s the worst doctor ever so my selection ability is severely lacking

Had to ask. I had an old tooth miner that I know studied in the Mengele school of dentistry.

My guess is my doc did the online course…

Mine had the most wonderful Austrian accent, yet he claimed to be from Brazil. Hmmmm....

Brother B: 22 pound weight loss on a guy as fit as you... As a doctor's daddy, lemme give you some advice --

Doctors see dozens of patients a day. They are human. Many are too human, and miss stuff the really should catch.

This is not an excuse, but an observation from MySonTheDoctor.

I have to add my 2c -- Get a disappointment, and flat state to your doctor that you want his opinion on the humongous weight loss you have undergone.

Q1: Why did you lose all that weight. (Muscle mass?)

Q2: What can you/he do about it?

If he does not know why (and the change in weight may just have gone right by him, unnoticed) -- ask him for the largest-odds likelihood for the reason.

What I'm trying to say, @boo, is you are correct in being concerned.

Awright. Now the flip side:

One thing I know very well about you well is that you are one athletic old fart sumbitch. Up with the fargin chickens, off to the Torture Chamber to lift tractor axles 50 reps and the like. Geez.

So I haveta axe: Could your last year of so have been like the one your Unca had, where injury prevented proper exercise for a looong time, and the result was not muscle, but pork?

I am slime oop slim and trim at 210. I useta be 260. My shot-up shoulder fell off, and the titanium skeleton I now flaunt required zerio movement for six weeks (actually locked in place in a giant solid sling), then sooper-baby steps after that.

The result was me doing a fifty fargin pound weight change to get back to at least a shadow of my former self.

You bein' you (bull at a gate) may have thrown off what could have been excessive weight with all your gym hours.

So it could be a good thing. And it could be a bad thing. Give the doc a shot at it.

I’m ok with one that’s just a little bit human and can think on their own… I know they are out there, just gotta find one
