Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Four

[2legsshrt]

More good news. My wife is breaking out her Provari and going to give it another try. She did it for a year and then a bunch of crap came up and shes back up to 1 1/2 packs a day. I just tested it out and of course being a Provari works like new even the nautilus is still in good shape. Think I will mix her up more juice the other has been sitting for over a year. Wish I could get her on some of my flavors but she like FA 3 or 7 leaves. Can't remember but I know I bought a new bottle of the flavor. I really can't stand tobacco flavors anymore. But whatever blows her dress up right? Just get off the stinkies. In good shape for her cause I kept the 4 Nauti's and 3 Provari 2.5's one is brand new. I was hoping she would try it again. Plus my Zivipf NiFe48 is on it's way so will report on that. From what I hear you can use a 2.5mm 8 wrap microcoil just like Kanthal except only .4ohms and dryburnable plus works great in TC. Actually only .28ohms TCR .00405

Good to hear 2legs ... me suggests you mix her some higher nic juice than you use. Aren't you vaping like, 3 mg ... that probably won't cut it for someone trying to make the switch over.

OK then... I was hoping not to have to say this...
On Sunday night, I was cleaning off a 3D print. the bed/raft it was printed on was not very good and it was stuck pretty bad.
I have a set of wood carving chisels. (you know where this is going, don't you?)
My hand held the piece tight, but I felt a twinge, the piece slipped down, and the chisel kept going. Right into my finger.
blood spurt in a 190° arc. (I'm still finding it to clean off of things)
Punched right into the finger, and the side fo the finger where it punched in went numb.
My parent's were visiting, and it was 12:30 am.. I woke them up and asked my dad to drive me to the hospital. That way I could keep pressure on the finger and no blood all over my car.
Not much else to say - no stiches, a finger brace to sleep with and neo-sporin and bandages...
but here it is Friday and that patch of my finger is still numb. I may have severed the nerve.
I'm praying that it will heal and I won't go about the rest of my life with a finger numb on one side, but at least I didn't lose it.
you know how you can press on the skin of your fingers, and it turns white because the blood is forced away from the skin, then you let up and the color comes right back? Mine does that, so I know I haven't damaged the blood vessels too much and will NOT lose anything.
When I'm holding it away gripping things and I extend it too far, there is a shooting pain that goes from the hole (between the first and middle knuckle) all the way to the tip UNDER the numb part, so either not all the nerves are damaged, or it's "phantom pain" as the cut end gets rubbed the wrong way. I have to wait at least 3 weeks before asking to see a hand DR if it does not come back.
yeah... not the best week for me, but not the worst either!

Just catching up and read this Ken!
So sorry you had that accident, and I'm sending you all the good vibes and a few prayers for quick and total healing.
Heal well, my friend!

Man my wife still has blood in her stool. Just got the test back today. She doesn't go in for colonoscopy and endoscopy till next Thursday. We are just hoping it is something like an ulcer and not something worse. She was in the hospital while we were on vacation for a day and a half that they charged $13000 for and didn't even do one there said she was ok didn't even check to see if she still had blood in her stool. This f-n medical stuff is really messed up. They don't do what they should and way over charge you for it. Our doc only works M-W-F so guess we can't find out anything till tomorrow. We are just hoping and praying it is not cancer.

Prayers that it isn't the worst, Pat.

So glad your wife is re-considering vaping......if the flavors suit her, it just may be the ticket for her to stick with it.



I've been really busy running around town and and haven't been able to catch up properly, so I know I missed a few posts.....just please know that I love my Porchers!

going to give it another try

Atta Girl!

 

[Kenna]

Well, Honeys, I'm home. I got in early this morning. I've done basically nothing all day.........OH, except to schedule my MRI. That will be done Wednesday next week. And, yeah, I was hungry, so with my backwards self, I just finished having scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast with blackberry jam at 10PM at night. [emoji14]ervy:

Good deal, Roto! Breakfast is good any time of day! I love McD's breakfast biscuits. I can get them after 10am now, which goes with my messed up body clock!
Glad to hear you can get the MRI done. Hope it can tell what's going on. If it doesn't show anything, push the Dr to figure it out. I'm going in the 4th to start the process on somethings I need to get looked at, too. I need to find what can be done about my back so I can walk more.

oh good luck with that.

Mornin susan!!

Good news indeed. If anyone can help her shed da 'bakky, it's you (plus her willingness)! Rootin' fer her...

 

[Kenna]

Glad to hear the good news!!! I blame vaping.


so... you enjoy leftover breakfast for breakfast and breakfast for dinner then... since you eat breakfast at dinner, and leftover dinner for breakfast.

Stop messing with it, Ken! Pressing & releasing can sever what is trying to regrow. Leave it alone & let it heal, little boy! Like picking at a scab will leave you with a scar, but leave it alone & there won't be a scar.

Agreed. Especially if she's smoking that much. 24mg at least, to to start.

I second that Kenna!

I started at 36mgs...I don't think I would have finally been able to get free of cigs if i'd vaped anything lower, but now i'm at 24 mg.

 

[MattB101]

Fantastic!



Oh Matt, that's such great news! Been very busy the past 2 days taking care of Miles because he was sick, but it didn't stop me from thinking about your tests and the results. Thanks for letting us know right away. I know a lot of folks here were pulling for good results! Now get a good nights sleep with at least this worry out of the way.

Unbelievable nights sleep. I went up at 8:30 and turned on the boob tube to watch that last half of the "This Old House Hour" and the next thing I know it was 10:30 and the person on TV was prattling something about cooking. Flicked it off and the next thing I know it was 8:00 a.m. Now that's a good night's sleep.

Ah-- the miracles of modern medicine. A thorough checkup with an all-clear is better than any sleeping pill.

[Wolfenstark]

Matt does your body ever catch up on sleep ?
I may go a few days on say 3-4 hours but after a while I'll put in a good one maybe 9 hours or more.
