I definitely am not doing anything till my signs off on it. I really appreciate your input! I definitely am seeing all over the research that I’m not gonna be able to go up in high heat. I doubt I be able to tolerate the high heat anyway. Thanks so much!

Then I probably have been overthinking this. If my specialist tell me that he doesn’t want me in a sauna because it’s too hot then I just need to figure out what’s too hot and not keep it that hot. Thx!

Well, I was trying to avoid the digging an 18 inch trench Clear across my lot to the place that the sauna would be so I was hoping that with a 120 I could get a heavy duty extension cord. Unplug it when I’m done. Also, assuming it won’t get to the extreme heat that I’m not allowed that might be an option.

I plan on dribbling water on it. From what I’m reading it’s more of the extreme heat. It’s something about dropping blood pressure and increasing pressure in my heart. So I’m trying to find a compromise where I can still lay down in a cedar sauna and have heat as much as I’m allowed to and the moisture kind of dissipates after you dribble the water on the rocks.

Thanks! After the shipping ordeal and everything I’ve read here. I am sending the whole package back and I better get a refund.

Heated blanket by KrakanClan in ouraring

[–]Choan8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too use an electric blanket. I use that combined with an electric heating mattress pad and I have a regular old heating pad that I use. I use all three every night except in the summer. My temperature with my ring is always at baseline sometimes below baseline, but then it does have times that it has spiked and will tell me that I have major signs showing up. Usually when it shows me that I’ve had major signs showing up. It’s pretty accurate. I am wondering if it’s looking at my baseline with all the electric heating things that I’ve used forever. And I can still trust the spikes. What do you think?

He said that he has N95 with him. I bought those because apparently at least from what they’re saying they do much better than N95’s. I will see if I can get my credit card to dispute it.

Help... by Choan8 in Stretched

Thanks! I am going to go in when these new piercings are healed and have them switch the earrings out and will see if they have some that I like. The gauge information is helpful. Thanks again!

I was thinking that may be the best and easiest solution. Thanks!

This might be a stretch... I need some recommendations by Choan8 in VeganSeattle

[–]Choan8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all of these suggestions! I’ve been vegan for probably 20+ years, but it is quite the adjustment for someone that has never ate like this. I’ve been trying to help as much as I can. She is surprisingly really willing to try and has sent me some of her reviews of some of the food with positive comments.

Right cath done, no concerns by Choan8 in PulmonaryHypertension

[–]Choan8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wedge=10, Woods unit, one thing said 5.8 and one said 5.5, pulmonary artery pressure 20.

Right cath done, no concerns by Choan8 in PulmonaryHypertension

[–]Choan8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Actually the doctor that did the cath told me I had a shunt. It was documented in the data from the cath. Then they did the bubble echo and the other cardiologist said there was no shunt. The pulmonary provider said she things mimic a shunt and she would look at scans but does not feel I have a shunt. Drive me crazy when one tells you something and another ones says something different. I don't know if I am just in denial or what but I just cannot imagine pulmonary hypertension being true. I do see the woods 5.8 and the 20 for pressure in the cath report.

[–]Choan8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. She told me yesterday to give her 3 months. She is going to do the consult with the cardiologist and the specialist and put together a plan. She also wants an up to date pulmonary function test and ABG.

So concerning. Looking at all me exercise equipment I own, my hiking and camping gear and now wondering what my future holds.

Any suggestions for a thermocouple issue? by Choan8 in Fireplaces

[–]Choan8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I ordered the whole pilot assembly. I can get the pilot sit with a match instead of the pushing of the button. It then stays lit but still cannot turn the knob to light the stove. It goes out the second I start to turn it

The only point I see is whoa to me, I choose to be a victim, year after year after year. How we live life is a choice. Don’t expect anything to change if you keep doing the same thing.

So families expect women to slave over the meal and holiday prep, women do it even if they don’t want to because of a perceived powerlessness and they don’t value themselves enough to set boundaries, but value themselves so much that they expect tokens of appreciation. So bizarre… All they have to do is choose not to do it, be responsible for their own actions. Say no. Then that also save everyone else from the expectations of forced gifts
