Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 3)

[Chakris]

So have you mopped the kitchen and power washed the patio yet? You've had most of the day for crying out loud!

Speaking of power washing, that's something i have to look forward to when I get back from the studio. Also have to start working on a photo album of my daughter. Like my mom did for us when we each got married, she got together a bunch of pics at different times in our lives.


Okay, I'm outta here! Don't know what traffic will be like and my cars if the shop.... ugh!

 

[Bronze]

Uh yeah, that's going to happen anytime soon....

So you just been layin' in the sack or are you able to stretch out on the sofa or anything?

Tried laying on the sofa for a minute but knew if I fell asleep that would make sleeping tonight harder. I have been sitting and walking and taking small snack meals. Only the stuff that is recommended for the first few weeks, until the swelling on the outside goes down. When that goes down, the inside will be done swelling and then I can start eating the colon healthy foods. I am going to follow the recommended regime cuz I sure as hell don't want any setbacks!

So no peanut shells for you then, huh?

Not unless I want some problems and have to go back in to get cleaned out! I would NOT be a happy camper then!

Ok, Aleve is taken so I am going to try to find a comfy position to sleep. Night all!

Thank you all so much for being here and helping me get through this. You all have had an amazing impact on my soul and I appreciate each and every one of you... more than you can possibly imagine.

Sleep well and the most pleasant of dreams *blows kisses*

I gonna dream of a LONG life

Dang it! I hate it when that happens.

 

[LAwaters]

PM me, Ive tried all their NETs and have my "not so favorites" too. My second bottle of PB was one of them - first bottle was to die for! Go figure.

BTW - @ LAwaters, I never got the slightest taste of rum from Pirate's Booty. Try 'em all and remember our moto: "vape it till you like it."

Great advice, Chakris! (Except for Halo's Captain Jack. Never again. I even had a good mix of tobacco flavors in a mini-tank and tried a drop of Capt in it just, to see. Ruined the whole tank.) I'll be trying Pirate's next order.

Retic, my vape mail arrived. So far I've tried:

Serendipity - I liked this one, though it's not love yet. Darker than Legend and less sweet. I almost get a taste of burnt popcorn on the exhale. Not a bad thing for me, since I used to burn microwave popcorn on purpose. And I love extra dark pretzels. Serendipity is not as smooth as the others, but I get in the mood for that sorta flavor.

Gaia - Must. Have. More. Gaia is just incredible. Vast quantities will be in my next order. There's a creamy finish to it and rich, smooth tones. It helps that I hit the local vape shop and bought an MVP 2, a Nautilus, and an Aerotank. I'm only sad that I put Gaia in the Aero, because the Nautilus is much better IMO. I'm also sad because in my excitement about new gear and new HHV, I mistakenly put half my sampler bottle of Gaia in the Nautilus with Legend. Not bad, but now I have to get more Gaia and HHV doesn't overnight. So I must be happy with Legendary Gaia, after I vape the 1.5 ml in the Aero. Nice problems to have, so no complaints here.

Will let you know when I get to trying Dark Horse, Sludge and Crackberry!

Soooo.... Was it one of those????

 

[LAwaters]

I am sick to death with jackasses like Dr. Oz and the rest of the anti freedom , anti american media , nothing riles me up more than a blatant liar with a tv show !

His doctor status make him deity for my mom. That part riles me up too! I wish more people would think for themselves, and have better critical thinking skills. We can hope!

 

[LAwaters]

I have done loads of research on my own, read a bunch of the latest medical journals and articles, anything I can get my hands on really. The sad fact is in 30 years the treatment options haven't changed. The way they do the surgeries has changed, recovery times are better and doctors are getting better at removing more of it, but it's still misdiagnosed about 80% of the time ad there's still no good treatment for stage 4 like I have. The average time to get a correct diagnosis is 10 years. I've had connected issues for 15 and only in January got the official diagnosis after months of tests that cost me around $5000.

I qualify to enter a new study for a new drug, all medical fees would be paid for during the study, but being the human guinea pig scares the crap out of me.

I'm sorry you've had such an ordeal, always. Glad to hear you are taking charge of your medical well-being. Too few people do that, and they just blindly follow their doctor. You are in my thoughts.

 

[LAwaters]

So I've only spent a small amount of time in The Big Thread, but tonight after I picked up some nice gear, I had two thoughts: I can't wait to load up some HHV; and, I can't wait to tell the Army! You really are a fun group!

 

[Hulamoon]

OMG Always! I am SO sorry to hear of the immense pain you're going through. Prayers are flying through the nightwaves to you. I'll be wishin' and hopin' that the BC kicks in asap. Maybe you should get a 2nd opinion on the surgery? Perhaps that ovary needs to be sorted and the BC will help with the other sticky areas?

Ok had enough coffee for the talkie to work.

An update since it's been a while, tmi post warning for the guys.

2 weeks ago I switched doctors to someone I trust a lot more. She told me after seeing the pics from the surgery in January there's a good chance that my ovary reattached itself, and that there were so many adhesions it's likely he missed some. I had three weeks of relief after that surgery and it all came crashing back. She thinks there are adhesions all through my lower half, in my back, bowels, utedus, and so on.

So she started me on birth control. At the moment it hasn't done anything for me, but she said to give it a month. I had to go buy a dress for a wedding last night, after walking so much I came home and had basically level 10 labor contraction pains for hours. Still paying for it this morning. She doesn't want to do the hysterectomy as of right now because she doesn't think that will actually get rid of all the pain. Next step is the horrendous evil lupron shots. I'm really trying to avoid that, they scare the heck out of me. She wanted to also do mirena implant but insurance doesn't cover it. If I'm gonna pay $2000 for something it will be for surgery, I don't have any hope for the implant to work at all.

So anyway that's the update for those I've told before about everything that was going on.

 

[MostlySunny]

LA you are certainly having fun! It is Serendipity that they were talking about.

I have the kayfun up and running (on my little twist which is hilarious! It's so top heavy and funny looking). But I had to try it on something.

DF tastes the same as it does in my little Phoenix right now. Very curious to see what it's like on the provari. It's ready to go and waiting for tomorrow's mail.

 

[Hulamoon]

With the benefit of hindsightl, I guess you answered your own question! Welcome home Robin and congratulations on getting through. Now prepare yourself to be queen for a good while till that section heals up good and proper! That's great great news!

Can anyone tell me why the hell someone wants to turn on lights and take two vials of blood from a sleeping patient at..... 3:47am!?!?!

I wanna go home


ETA: I must be getting better if I'm complaining...right?

 

[Hulamoon]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That's so nice BK. Glad to hear she's up and about, being in hospital is a great incentive to.... getting the hell outta there ASAP! Now, how's that poor old hand of yours doing?

brought the wifey some coffie from the house.... she actually smiled

 

[Hulamoon]

You know....it's about time the Chimp showed up!

Well it's about time I showed up!
