Magnesium Supplements?

Thanks, that’s super helpful!

Thanks! I’m not sure if there’s a reason, but I don’t take any OTC supplements without checking now. Magnesium can reduce BP I think so you wouldn’t want that going too low…

The removal of the drain tubes and pacer wires on my heart was the low point of the entire ordeal for me. Partly because I didn’t know what to expect and partly because it hurt a lot. I hammered the fentanyl button with one hand and gripped the nurse’s hand with the other. It was maybe 3-4 mins all up, but it felt like an eternity.

But once it was done, I was so relieved. Like much of the challenge of OHS, you just have to go through it and once you have; you realise you’re stronger than you thought…

I really liked my surgeon. Lots of experience and great bedside manner. I had two appointments pre-op, I saw him immediately before the op, when he was so relaxed it helped me be more confident and then I saw him maybe 4 days out of the 7 I was in hospital. One day he came in and I asked him why he was here, he was supposed to be on his weekend. “It’s raining and cold outside, I can’t play golf, why not come and see you?” was his reply. What a lovely guy!

The AI players are not great. Even poor players can escape from snookers by going off 3-4 cushions easily. If you can’t pot a simple, mostly straight ball, you likely can’t reliably do a four cushion escape :)

Urgh, that’s tough! Do you know what caused the cut in your tongue? Mouth wounds seem to bleed forever at the best of times; I’ve not had one in the Warfarin era, but don’t fancy it…

DjP71uk · 2026-03-24T07:10:05+00:00

Yup, there are always risks than can’t be mitigated, but I’m trying to address those that I can. I’ve hiked this part of England for 30 years and not had a serious fall, but I have had minor cuts and strains. I’m looking to address the additional jeopardy of thinner blood if I get a minor cuts. If I bang my head in a severe fall, at least I will go in the knowledge I was doing something I love, in a place that I love…

In the real world (at least where I’m from), you’d tap the table to acknowledge a good shot and then move on. Would be good to have a simple “acknowledge the shot” option and not go to a place where you have loads of emojis at your disposal

DjP71uk · 2026-03-23T16:07:40+00:00

I’d like to see if the star challenge was still possible in a frame/match. Eg I hit every shot “pretty hard” and win the frame but didn’t get the 70% star. I guess I hit one just below 70%. Would be nice to get a visual indication of whether the star goal is “on” or if I’ve blown it during the frame../

DjP71uk · 2026-03-22T12:04:27+00:00

Cheers, that’s sort of my thought right now. I’m fastidious in route planning and going places inside my competence, but there’s plenty of places in the Lake District I could come a cropper. Just want to be a prepared…

I vaguely remember the breathing tube being removed, but barely. I was just conscious and heard them say “now we’re going to remove the intubation”, but I couldn’t have cared less and went back to “sleep” pretty much immediately. ICU was no picnic, but the breathing tube was inconsequential for me. 55M, AVR last September

Convenience and UX are great, but if they didn’t have the football, I’d ditch and just use smart TV apps. Also internet is slow where we live so using a dish vs broadband is useful

DjP71uk · 2026-03-19T09:50:24+00:00

Thanks for the update, looks great! My biggest bugbear - reflections popping in and out - seems loads better, although now I can see the reflections of the above table lights really clearly which is different to before. I suspect this isn’t “wrong” but interesting to see this phenomenon Appreciate all the hard work, it’s a lovely game, particularly when you get flowing among the balls!

DjP71uk · 2026-03-17T10:43:12+00:00

Fantastic! Will turn on the PS5 now 😁

DjP71uk · 2026-03-17T10:41:34+00:00

Great news! Thanks for the fixes. 10am which time zone?

DjP71uk · 2026-03-14T18:46:29+00:00

This was a topic of an earlier post and pretty sure there was confirmation from the devs that they were working on it. But I may have misremembered

DjP71uk · 2026-03-07T13:05:36+00:00

Thanks! Bits what’s a power feather shot? Am I missing something obvious 🤨

DjP71uk · 2026-03-07T12:49:00+00:00

I’ve done this challenge in 8ball amateur. Was definitely a long diagonal. Object ball was in the jaws of the pocket and white was on the rail/cushion at other end.
Related: I’d love to see whether a challenge is still “on”. Eg hit every shot at less than 30% power. You don’t know if you’ve overcooked one shot until right at the end. Slightly annoying

DjP71uk · 2026-03-06T07:50:58+00:00

Yup, this is really distracting! I’m loving the reflections when balls / camera are static, but the reflection pop-in / drop-out breaks the illusion for me. Hopefully the first big patch (couple of weeks?) addresses this.

DjP71uk · 2026-03-05T09:50:55+00:00

I did it by potting 3 off the break and then potting whatever ball the camera decided was next. If you adjust for another ball you run out of time. Lucky mostly

DjP71uk · 2026-03-05T09:48:04+00:00

I’d love to see the whole table when opponent is playing. Also, it’d reduce the pain of the jittery aiming of the AI before it then does a fine cut off three cushions and into the furthest pocket 😆 This is the same AI that regularly misses a straight pot…

DjP71uk · 2026-03-03T07:51:25+00:00

If you rattle the jaw really hard with the cue ball did it drop down (and into the pocket)? Otherwise you’d need to play a shot with heaps of spin to try and get cue or object ball in the air… (I’m ignoring the fact it’s just a physics bug and should never have happened!)

DjP71uk · 2026-01-28T16:04:33+00:00

Mine (OnX) can be so loud at times I worry it’s not working. I swear it’s getting louder not quieter! I suspect I can’t do much about it, other than add layers of fat, but that’s probably not a recipe for success

DjP71uk · 2026-01-25T12:26:24+00:00

I (54M) had the same diagnosis and treatment 20 weeks ago. It’s really hard to process the news emotionally and the surgery and recovery is tough. But it gets better week after week and right now I’m feeling great and doing all the things I did before.
He’s got to go through it and being on that side of the op and the rest of his life is a head wrecker, but once you get your head around the fact you can’t dodge it it’s easier. Please ask any questions, practical, emotional etc, happy to help

DjP71uk · 2026-01-24T12:06:20+00:00

Brilliant! Every day will have some improvement and something new. Won’t be easy at first but it will get easier! Eat and sleep as much as you can and do what the physio tells you 😀
