Yes I'm back....have been catching up on 450 old posts...jeez I've been working on that for around 3 hour's so....

Good evening shinies

Sorry I've been quiet but been fighting 40 degree fevers again which eventually resulted in a rinsing of my lungs which although wasn't terribly pleasant it was tolerable. I had a very good team and doctor and they kept me calm.

To many of you to name but thanks for all the love out there....you guys are the best

@chanelvaps so happy to hear you are through your op and really hoping you won't notice any difference in lung function when things have settled down....you probably won't. Have been thinking about you daily and sending loads of love and hugs to you. Good luck with your tests

Sorry to hear about your fever, had to look up what 40°C was (104°F) that's high. And lung rinsing sounds like something i never want to know about first hand... Hope yo< are doing better now. Glad to have you back here.

Well folks, 4th day after surgery. I am still amazed at the ease of the procedure and ease of being able to get around. I am staying at my daughters because it is easier. Took my pain pill dosage to half yesterday and will take it to 1/2 of that tomorrow. My wound is not draining (where they took the drainage tube from. I am using my Fitbit to make sure I get 3K steps a day. Before surgery I had worked my way up to 7K steps a day and I feel that helped immensely.
vaping in a great comfort level. 45ish watts. No holding back but not excessively either.
My whole backside is bruised and the three suture areas are all glued shut. No kidding
For those that follow the animal thread of ours Archie went to Petco today. He does not really play well with others and this was discovered at my friends house where he went to stay when I went off to surgery. She has a garage full of cats in different throes of being adopted out. It was a great test place for him. He does not really go after anyone but he is hissy if anyone tries to interact with him. He will have to be in a one cat household but thankfully he gets along alright with dogs.
Thanks for all the prayers. I guess I am a cancer survivor now and it all happened, came, was discovered and went within one month. Amazing.

That's amazing news.....sending hugs for a continuing text book recovery

I was thinking the same. Love the idea of having cleanly washed lungs, but not so much about the process.

Hi all,
I went in the hospital at 9:00 Tuesday morning for an 11am surgery. I wheelchaired out of the hospital at 11am yesterday. There is pain, but not more then pain pills can handle, there is three suture wounds that were glued shut. I was walking the night of surgery with a walker and then walked the next morning, a lap around the floor I was on, without a walker. I am at my daughters because I plan to do a few days medicated and she will take care of me and my dog. Modern medicine is amazing. They went in laparoscopically, cut the lung, put it in a bag and then pulled it out. They also took a couple of lymph nodes to send to pathology. If the lymph nodes comes back as my DR suspects, no cancer then this is over for me and I will get a CT scan now every three months rather then once a year for the next year or two.
It is raining hard here but am going to take an umbrella outside and do some laps in the driveway and then go back to bed.
Thanks for all the prayers folks.

I will keep the prayers going up!! I am new at making juice, but I would be happy to make you some and send it to you if that would help. You and your recovery have been on my mind in a big way!!

You made me smile!!! Glad to “hear” your voice. I can now downgrade you from frantic worrying back to continued prayers for healing. You and @chanelvaps both.... glad for healing and being back here.

I got excited to get a Gas Mods Nixon RDTA, it was on sale for $8! Until it arrived, now I have a cap and no atty I hear ya...

 

[Zazie]

Did you have any entertaining deliria, @charlie1465?

 

[Rob B.]

i don't know, the elevate's cloud feels much thicker_ they're both nicely restrictive, but the elevate feels fuller.

i'll keep playing with it the tips and try other coils next time_

speaking of which_ you tried quadcore fused clapts? i'm wondering how aliens would fare against them cloud/flavour wise

opened the tanks up and they looked still quite white_ retucked'em and filled them back up_ i shouldn't do it just because i feel the itch.. all the frustrating rewicks; now i'm hooked. how often you rewick yours?
>>>>><<<<<<<<
i'm getting alets from @charlie1465 welcome back indeed! how's trix? feeling the groove again?

I've never used quad core fused claptons. I do use Aliens like in the picture I posted, and like them. I have tried some n80 coils, but so far I prefer kanthal. Haven't tried ss either. I'll get there.

It's a banana cereal kind of Saturday.

I got something shiny today, to put on top of something shiny I got a couple days ago. The Kylin 2 RTA on my new Evdilo. Need to find a new dt for it, but I love this thing. Used the 2 n80 coils that came with it. Will replace it with some Aliens soon. Was easy to build, and has really good flavor. I like the way it looks on the Evdilo. The whole setup just feels good in the hand. It's a keeper.

I lust after your Therion.

I alternated between really wanting a Therion, and knowing deep down it’s just too darn big. Which has brought me back to oogling the Kudos. I love the Topside, but it’s a table beside me or road trip mod. Only one of my squonkers that’s regulated.

It was one I lusted after, my first mod over $100. I have no idea where the original bottle is, replaced it with a black one long ago. Found the refill bottle as well, black of course.
I may bring myself to get rid of it, planning on getting rid of all that stuff one day. Just need to get off my .....

Edit: that's the "red" door. I also have the black pearl I like more. Was cleaning it in the unltra Sonic when I took pic.

Fluffy man is playing with me he keeps jumping into the cage while I try to clean it out then putting his face up to mind as I’m bent over into the cage haha

I'll have to haunt the classies so I can pounce quickly if you ever list it there.

Everything I have, big or small, is a table-beside-me mod.
