Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Seven

[DavidOck]

I know this is probably something for the FP but have any of you tried any of the new one shot flavors at ecigexpress. They used to just have a few now they have 75 many are made by them. Just curious. Good prices and not real high %. I like a couple from Adore but many of theirs you have to use 17+%

I've tried a few, with mixed results.

Campfire Deluxe, sort of a S'mores, is OK at 15% (they recommend 20, I started testing at 10.), but could benefit with some tweaking, at least for my tastes. And, for me, 15 is usually as high as I mix...

Green Tea Wafer Bar I found pretty bland, even at their recommended %

Root Beer Float is nice at their 15%, although I think I could blend my own at a lower total %,

... and I woke up the other day and part of my face is numb.

Patrick,

Not to scare ya, but that could be a symptom of a mini-stroke or mini-seizure. Patty's left hand goes numb when she has her 20 minute mini-seizures. You should check with a neurologist!

I will mention it to my doc. I was going to last appt but I was worried about Ginny's ankle and forgot. Thought you had to have high BP for that. Mine was 125/43 last time.

Don't you love paying sales tax on your stuff. That's one of my reasons I rarely order from them. Adore has some really good flavors but I hate buying 30ml for $16.99 and can't even get 200ml out of it. I hate experimenting with flavors. They do have 2 flavors that mix at 10% that I really like Custard de Lesche and Peach Colada. I have found that with my mixer at 60/40 I don't have to use as much flavor because the % they recommend is for straight VG the PG carries the flavor better.

Your bp could be fluctuating up at times. My Dr PA said +120 is considered high now. Clots or too high either one can cause them.

Me on the other hand have developed an infection in one of my stumps, the one I twisted and I woke up the other day and part of my face is numb. Most of the feeling has comeback but not all. We are a pair to draw to. I have been so tired lately, sleeping way more then I used to and not feeling rested. I've been putting off going to the cardiologist to get him to tell me about my echo done in May. He wants to see me but too many other things to deal with.

I have had a couple of strokes and I can assure you that a stroke will affect a lot more stuff than just your face. Try this link:

Yep I don't think it was anything like a stroke but it is weird that just an area by my jaw bone probably about 4" in diameter went numb like that. When it first did it it was just like I'd had a novacaine shot. It's gradually been coming back over the last 10 days. Thought it may have something to do with that ear, I've been having problems with my hearing in that ear also. It's like as the day wears on my hearing in that ear gets worse and worse. Really strange. The other one is the one I had water stuck in it. That finally resolved itself.

I sure am glad that our doctor is not afraid to prescribe pain meds for Ginny, they have gotten totally nutz with that. I was reading a post form a lady who has colon cancer and she had to have part of it removed surgically. The doctor gave her 15 low strength Vicodin and that's it wouldn't even consider any more. She had to go to a Pain Mangagement place to get a few more. She said even the nurse told her that wasn't close to enough. It's crazy how they are not even prescribing to people who actually need them. If Gin didn't have them she would be totally bed riden.

@Bea-FL wasn't it you that broke a bone in their ankle. Got the name of the one she broke it was the Fibula.

Or was that Gracie??

With Patty's mini-seizures, she has slurred speech and her left hand-wrist goes numb for 'bout 20 minutes. Her bp has always been normal.

it was Gracie.

 

[Flowersoul]

Nah, that wasn't me! It was corrective toe surgery for a failed surgery over a year ago.

Well, no, not my favorite activity

Then again, it keeps the $$ in the State, and if, for example, I order in the morning, I'll usually have it the next day. Trade off

It was me. Yup, that's the one. Officially, lateral malleolus - end of the fibula. The doc said that was good news as it was below the joint.

I'm sorry to hear you and Ginny are having so many problems. Wish I was closer and could give you some support.

Hope everybody in the path of Florence is safe and secure, wherever you end up.

Where I live was supposed to be impacted somewhat, but things moved south so we should be incident free... unless I forget to pick up an empty solo cup off the picnic table. That might get tipped over.

Hatz off to first responders, power workers and those who have to be at work in spite of the storm. Bless you all.

 

[2legsshrt]

Yep I heard them talking about 20” of rain that’s just crazy. They are saying the water is going to be the worst part not the wind.

 

[2legsshrt]

Plus they are talking about it stalling that is going to be bad if the prediction hold true.

She is going to see the sports doctor Monday with a new xray and see if the boot she has is the right thing.

I don’t understand why they just don’t cast stuff anymore it worked for us.
