    I'm posting in case it helps one of you or your loved ones. I have a benign tumor (schwannoma) in the sinus cavernous portion of my brain and have had to get an annual MRI. No symptoms, no changes for 6 or 7 years. It was discovered accidentally. But at the end of last year they picked up some very slow growth and said it was close to my left optic nerve. The recommendation was radiation therapy. I said, sure, what the fuck. I thought it was going to be like a fucking tanning bed, that's how ignorant I was. Holy fuck, did radiation on my brain kick the crap out of me. I wasn't ready for it. There were many days I was so dizzy, off-balance and out of breath that I couldn't walk to the street corner. The off-balance feeling has continued for months - in my head it feels like I'm on a moving train going over bump after bump, or in a boat. It's been miserable. And it's now been more than 6 months since my last dose of radiation. Every doctor I spoke with (oncologists, neurologist, ENT) basically shrugged their shoulders. Dumb Harvard Med-educated cunts. All of 'em. Then on the same day in September 2 different sources, neither of whom are MDs, mentioned Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. I was surprised to learn that Fort Collins has the oldest and one of the few hyperbaric facilities in CO and it's at the hospital about 5 minute drive from my house. I had to ask the goddamn oncologist to refer me in order to get approval from insurance and that went smoothly. Wasn't his idea but he did it. I've had maybe a dozen sessions so far. Approved by insurance. The purpose is to help tissue recover and create new blood vessels. I was speaking with one of the techs today and a lot of men utilize it while trying to recover from the after-effects of radiation to their prostate. (I asked them why it seemed like most of their patients are men. They said it goes in waves, but apparently right now they're dealing with a few prostate issues.) I already feel improvement from my symptoms. They re-tested me on a few physical tests this morning and documented improvement in my speech and balance. I go every morning M to F and lay in a pressurized glass tube for 3 hours. They have a dvd library and I've lately been rewatching the Sopranos every goddamn morning. 

     


    I didn't like the beginning of this post but I love the ending. Good luck to you, Chopper. Heal strong and well.  We've got some upcoming national championships that you need to witness.

    One of the best portal pickups of the entire portal era. Who thought a grad transfer from SMU would be the best runner of maybe the SEC this year?

    WTF?  Tre has been here since he was a freshman.

    This was the greatest post in the history of Longhorn forums.  I laughed so freakin' hard. I called my dad and read it to him (giving him the proper context of course) and when he heard "perpair to loose this football game" he almost ruptured a kidney.

    SIAP on one of the other dozen threads to discuss current television shows, but anyone catch "Collin from Accounts" on Paramount? 

    Wife and I thought it was hilarious. Two leads are excellent together. Bit of a "Catastrophe" vibe. 

     



    Holy hell, thanks for the recommendations. This show is OUT FREAKIN' STANDING!  

    I just finished s1  E6, the birthday episode where we meet her stepfather at his home.  I'm dyin'. 

    I read that it's an international smash hit and that the first season won a ton of awards.

    Guardian reviewer gave both the first and second seasons five stars:

    Yep. Old landing strip. 2M+ renovations.

    Called He's gonna call me back. I can probably convince him to do $60 dollar cover buffet and a few drinks included maybe we will come up with a gimmick flash lapdance special for scores lol 


    Oh, man ... I hate to say it but there's no way my gf would go there.

    Looks like it will be Meanwhile or Lustre Pearl for me.

    Is there interest in doing this? Are people just gonna watch at home? 

    What area of town would be of interest, what do we want as a group etc.

    Obviously we want game sound on. Do we want drink specials and food etc?

    If we can get 40+ people committed to spend $50 on average on food and beverage from 6-10ish we can likely get an entire bar or at least a substantial section somewhere. 

    For that kind of money we can also just buy a ton of beer and booze, hire a bartender and have a watch party somewhere as long as we have space. I have space, but a pretty inconvenient to town location to host. 

    Open to feedback, I'm planning on just doing a pork belly and smoking wings and having some friends over if there isn't a watch party we wanna do as surly. 


    We're in. What about Lustre Pearl east? They have a great setup for games, good beer, lots of space, and it's sort of centrally located.

  7. Anthony Richardson was 11/28 passing yesterday for no touchdowns in the Colts loss to Detroit ---- IN A DOMED STADIUM. Perfect conditions.

    I don't understand what the Colts are doing. Are you telling me that Sam freakin' Ehlinger can't hit more than 11 out of 28 passes?
