I haven't used it yet. I've been buying my tickets for about half price for baseball games. It's from a website for Veterans, Current Military and First responders. Here's a link for that:

Not sure if this question is serious or tongue in cheek, but they are miles apart. Many miles.

This year both of my daughters moved to different states, in completely opposite directions. One I haven't seen since August. Both are home for Thanksgiving now. Wife and I are very happy.

Good luck to all in getting their health back in line.

Am signing up to now [emoji41]. Thanks

you gonna scam some veterans ?

Thanks, Dave. I've been consulting Dr. Google on how to heal fractures faster and it seems that some of the studies I found have some good ideas, cryotherapy in particular. Apparently, icing a fracture reduces inflammation and stimulates bone regeneration. The Jones Fracture hurts a hell of a lot more than the Dancer's Fracture but is actually healing faster.

I read comfrey known as bone knit works for bone mending
Your herb shop should have it

Okay I think I can still get some cause am signing up now.

This thread has become scammer catnip.

Good to hear your healing fast Adam. :)

I'm shooting for a full recovery by the National. Should be about the right time-line for PT and working back into shape. Hopefully I am out of the boot at my next MD visit just before Christmas.

I usually go out for long rides on the backroads of western Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire when I get tired of sitting around at home. I was on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a town forest in Wendell Massachusetts. It's about 90 miles west of Boston. I saw a female moose walking down the road in front of me ! A man was walking down the same road from the other direction with his dog, and his cat following behind him.:) He saw the moose too. He said he's never seen a moose around that area before. I've never seen on before at all. They're huge ! It made my day. :)

An obtuse post about a loose moose, not a crass post about a Mass lass.

I have not seen my Cariologist to have my pacemaker reading in 3 years. So I had an appointment for today.......The reading showed no signs of A-FIB in three years and my heart sounds great. I still need to lose some weight but the heart seems to be doing good.
Bob

That's always good news about your heart checkup. I bet most of us get told to lose some weight from the doctor. :p

We recently had two hummingbirds get into our house. No one I called would try to remove them, so I was on my own. Someone on YouTube suggested a crazy idea. He said they always fly up and toward the light and he created this type of trap that they flew up into. It worked and I was able to release them both outside! I did my good deed for the day.

You're a good man. :)

I gotta say, first seeing hummingbirds out here was a frickin' trip.
Always heard of them and saw pictures, of course, but when one was just sitting there in front of me, floating 'unmoving' in mid-air while checking out a persimmon tree...I really had trouble processing what I was witnessing.

We used to get hummingbirds around in my mother's yard in central Massachusetts. They would dip down to get water from the grandkid's kiddie pool. It was very cool to watch.

My mom got a hummingbird moth in her yard one day. if you haven't seen one of those, it's weird. words that came out of my mouth was "That's an ugly hummingbird." They have alien antennas.

I have good news to add also. First, my doctor told me that Rinvoq seems to be working to control my Crohns Disease. I tried three different medications last year. Happy to have one work finally.

Second, my son won a game MVP in his hockey tournament last weekend in Wenatchee, WA. He's a goalie, and he and his co-MVP goalie pal combined to lead the team to an 8-2 victory and 5th place in the tournament. This was his second game MVP this season. His first MVP was for entering a game losing 4-0, and not allowing a goal in the second half of the game. They ended up winning 6-4.

Good to hear they found something to help your condition. Congratulations to your son.

I just got home from a week as a summer camp counselor for the Crohns and Colitis Foundation "Camp Oasis." It's for 2nd grade thru 11th grade. There were roughly 85 kids, plus 25+ adults, all with some form of IBD. Altogether, there are 10 camps around the nation. It was a very beautiful week. It was especially touching to see the adults care so much to bring inspiration to these kids that they can have normal type lives and that they aren't freaks or defects. My co-counselors' careers: Jackson Hole ski instructor; a prospective Catholic priest; numerous recent college graduates in finance, economics, space, and biology; a couple teachers including me; plus the med team of doctors, nurses, mental health experts, and a trained chef. The camp was mostly a normal summer camp, but after dinner we would have fireside chats that focused more on IBD experiences and education. We had a bunch of kids who are continual patrons, and they said that each year has roughly 30% new participants. This was my first year as a counselor, and in 10 years of being diagnosed, it was the first time I was face to face with another confirmed IBD patient. The counselors had two nights off that allowed us to bond, while regular YMCA Camp Colman staff watched the kids.

Thats awesome, reminds me i need to get out more.

**I got GREAT news as well-
Had my routine bladder scope done Thurs- unremarkable results!!!!
Will continue my BCG treatments tho.

Tim, that's very cool for you and others to work with the kids like that.

Chris, congratulations on the good news.

Congrats! I understand the feeling of receiving normal results. I had a colonoscopy in May, and my specialist said there is no current active inflamation in my gut. It feels so nice to have boring results.

I had routine bloodwork 2 weeks ago and just met with the family doctor to review.
All numbers were within the good guidelines. Even the A1C was down to 7.4 from 11.3. Now I need to see if it is low enough for my knee doctor to do a double knee replacement. I hope so!

Best of luck on the knee surgery.

Best of luck on the recovery from the double knee replacement. Diabetes can be a PIA when it comes to healing.
