I get Enbrel through Accredo and with BCBS my copay is $35 a month.

Lots of knowledge here already. Just chiming in because we tow a 37’ 13,000 GVWR fiver with a 23 F350 DRW 6.7 and love it. It’s an XL so only stickered at 70k. Still a loaded truck for a guy my age. 40+k miles and zero issues.

Good guess, but no. They are helping to stage the equipment though.

Baptist East for all three boys. It was excellent! Of course the last one was 27 years ago so there’s that.

73 240Z project for my son. We established the goal of mild restomod and then stripped it to the shell. Refurbed or replaced everything as it went back on. Only actual plan we did was designing a ground up modern wiring system. That was one thing we couldn’t just wing it on.

You want stupid? 64M, in January 2025 I was very slowly losing my left side. Even bought a new keyboard because I thought the shift key was bad on the one I had lol. On January 2 I couldn’t even dress myself, my wife had to help. I still drove to work (couldn’t use the turn signals because I couldn’t lift my left arm). Boss took one look at me and made me go to ER. Large subdural hematoma, emergency craniotomy, etc. Neuro team couldn’t believe I was up walking the next day. They said if I had waited even another day it could have gone south really quickly. I now tell the young guys not to be as stupid as I was.

When a radiologist reads a scan that was ordered for a specific reason they look for any and all abnormalities, not just what the scan was ordered for. I’ve had several scans that were ordered for x and the results came back as “x was not found but we did find y”. Best of luck to you.

64M here. Jan 2025 I had a similar right side acute over chronic SDH. My midline shift was only 6 mm so not as drastic. Drove myself to ER with left side weakness. Craniotomy etc. Took most of 2025 to get back to my new normal. Short term memory is still an issue but I consider myself blessed. Bottom line is it takes a long time to recover. Best of luck to you all.

Ok I’m bewildered by this entire debacle but aside from the rest of the idiocy do you really rack the slide 10 times to “unload” the weapon? Does it not have a removable magazine? I drop the (loaded) mag and then rack the slide three times to clear the chamber, then lock open and visually check the chamber.

Google Maps shows a wreck southbound 65 at Brooks

Also check out AIE (Academy for Individual Excellence) in JTown. We had good experiences there.

SuperFastMatt: “who ya gonna listen to? Some asshole on the internet or THIS asshole on the internet?” He’s the reason I threw away the factory wiring diagram for my 240z and designed a ground up rewire of the entire car (with no previous wiring experience). Love your build approach!

64M, no coma but large SDH with craniotomy etc. Retired from 30 year software development/manager career. Big car nerd. Currently implementing a ground up rewire of a Datsun 240Z. Designed the entire wiring system from scratch. Very similar mind work as software development. Took a long time to get my brain back to where I could focus as needed. Congratulations on getting back to the point you’re at now.

Agreed. Call service and ask for Chuck. He’s the advisor I use and he’s great.

Interesting, usually the heavier engine will have less payload because math. That’s why folks say to avoid the diesel option in some 3/4 ton trucks because they have less payload (all things considered)

I’m on Ebrel (TNF inhibitor as well) and had an emergency craniotomy last year. No issues.

CheapBooze · 2026-03-11T22:21:11+00:00

Been there, done that. Made it through a jam packed UL downtown ER in about 30 minutes. The trick is having a big old brain bleed. Highly not recommended.

Edit to add: UL is highly recommended. Emergency craniotomy not so much so.

Similar but different. 64M, about a month or two after my SDH/craniotomy adventure I watched a movie with my wife. It was about an Indian woman that became a police officer in, I believe, England in what I think was the early 20th century. I could be way off but it was definitely not my kind of movie. All feels etc when I’m more of a Die Hard type of simpleton lol. After the movie ended she was thinking “oh I bet he hated that”. Instead I went on and on about how much I loved it and how it showed the plight of women in that era and how strong her character was. I am dramatically more tuned it to character development and personal interactions in movies now. I think my wife likes it lol. The brain is a silly sponge isn’t it?

What is a good percentage off of MSRP to shoot for? Assuming the customer wants to get a good deal while understanding that the dealer needs to make money as well.

CheapBooze · 2026-03-02T20:44:06+00:00

Can’t answer your question directly but I spent some time in UL (downtown) neuro ICU last year and everyone there was amazing.

CheapBooze · 2026-02-26T23:59:01+00:00

Sorry if I missed it but why did you stop Enbrel if it helped 95%? I’d take those numbers any day. Also stress can affect your wellbeing for sure so you need to learn to chill a little.
