Ya know Deej, if you were a robot with a bionic heart, it would never let your rate get so low. If you were a zombie it wouldn't matter if it got so low.

But since you're neither, ya should get that fixed ASAP. :laugh:


I had a similar reaction to a med but don't remember which one it was. I think it may have been the BP meds they were giving me while I was in the hosp. The stuff they gave me when I got out didn't do it. I believe the reason they gave me the 2 different kinds was the one may be more effective but was best used in a monitored environment (due to the side effect).

I usually don't even have BP issues really. But the pain I was in at admission had my BP through the roof.

Hello all. Hope everyone is doing well.. especially Deej. And not to sound insensitive or anything... but I guess probably another week or maybe even 2 before orders get made? I ordered knowing I'd have to wait, so it's fine, I would just like to know if I should get a small order from somewhere else in the meanwhile since my juices are running a bit low. Should still last me a while but I'd like to be prepared.

Hi, Clowder!

Kyi: if you got a notice that your order is currently mixing, it'll be within the next day or two. Otherwise, as much as I hate to say it, you may want to look at a small order from somewhere else. Technically, my daily five-hour outpatient visits and Friday. But that depends on the results of some tests they did today at the Wound Care Center.

Speaking of the Wound Care Center, here's what we know from that:

Right Foot Wound #1: almost completely healed.
Right Foot Wound #2: about 50% healed.
Left Foot Wound #1: about 25% healed.
Left Foot Wound #2: about 15% healed.

The right foot had a standard run-of-the-mill staph infection. The left foot had the MRSA infection, so it will take longer to heal. Left Foot Wound #2 is the one where the bacteria tunneled into the foot. The doctor said he could see a tissue layer over the bone (I forget precisely what he called it), so he ordered some tests looking for inflammation markers. If those come back positive, he's going to order an MRI and go from there.

On the heart rate issue: none of the meds and taking now are new to me. However, nobody ever monitored my vitals in the first few hours of me taking them. I did some record keeping this morning, and the lowered heart rate started almost exactly 4 hours after I took my morning meds. Monitoring continues, but there is also the possibility that my natural pacemaker has been damaged.

That's where things stand right now.

I like that the right foot is healing so well. I will keep my fingers crossed re the left foot tests.

Maybe your body has always slowed down after taking those meds but you weren't paying the same type of attention before to notice it. A resting pulse in the 50s is usually a good thing -- it's a sign that your heart is being efficient. Athletes often have pulse rates around here. But, like me, you are not an athlete so it may signify something different to your doctor.

Good morning :)

(((Deej))) Sounds like healing is proceeding, even if some of it is going slowly. Any wound that goes nearly to the bone is gonna take some time. I hope your meds get sorted. Poeia could easily be right, that your heart rate may have been slow for awhile and that ysince you weren't monitoring closely you didn't notice. I hope that along with adjusting your heart meds that the docs are talking with you about things that you can do to keep yourself healthy as healing progresses.

Cherrycakes, I've only tried a couple of the florals but have liked both of them. Rose candy is addictive. At first i thought it was a little perfumy, cause it tasted like roses smell, but then i couldn't put it down and vaped straight through a 30 ml bottle. I also have honeysuckle, and it's a surprisingly complex flavor and also very true to life. it's in my current flavor rotation and has been my bedtime vape.

I've also got skiwi, mango cheesecake and strawberries & creme in my current active flavor rotation. yummy all of 'em.

Deej mixes the flavors to his taste. He has a fairly refined palate, which is why his flavors are so good. But sometimes they're a bit subtle at 100%, for example if you use a clearo that mutes flavors or use high VG. I usually order at 125% flavor load. I has happy at 100% load when my nic level was 12mg or above. At 8mg and lower i like a little extra flavor kick.

You only have one mango flavor in your current rotation? What's the world coming to?

those all sound awesome! thank you!
also- sonicdsl said you guys would know what % to get the flavors in?
100% 250% etc
I was a little confused by that, I normally don't get any extra flavor shots or anything.
maybe I should start, lol

Deej mixes the flavors to his taste. He has a fairly refined palate, which is why his flavors are so good.

I has happy at 100% load when my nic level was 12mg or above. At 8mg and lower i like a little extra flavor kick.
I agree about Deej's palate. Deej has said that 125% is the most popular. The flavor is very present but it's not pounding me over the head or trying to take over my tastebuds. I vape at 6mg (Deej will custom mix the nicotine level) or 8% if I'm ordering on the menu and I use a Vivi Nova which can mute flavors slightly.

Flavors:
My two must-haves are Apricot/Raspberry Cheesecake and Peppermint Taffy.
Right now I'm puffing Tiramisu. It's great (and spot on the flavor) but I like very mild coffees. (I drink ice coffee the color of cheap coffee ice cream -- Haagen Dazs is too strong) so I add a little Tahitian Vanilla Taffy to mine and it's perfect.

If you're going to order one fruit taffy, I'd recommend Black Cherry. (I like most of them. As a result I ended up with too much and am vaping my way through my backlog. For lighter-tasting fruit taffies, Apple or Pear are my favorites.)
Sweet Gingerbread is addictive.
I also like to have Chocolate Taffy on hand. It mixes great with the Peppermint Taffy to make peppermint patties.

The Popcorn, Belgian Waffle and 'n' Cream lines are fairly new. I have some on hand but haven't tasted them yet.

And don't forget about the savings you get when you order a 6-pack.
