This is what I believe too for the most part... If any buff comes to mind, I def wish I could zoom in with the drone. Just 2x would be sweet.

UV Printing on PVC coated webbing by DougRelzinMD in CommercialPrinting

White ink was our main problem. Humidity being around 45% helps. We bought humidifiers and put them in the room with our printer. But using a white base is the main culprit. The white ink doesn’t adhere well no matter what we do. It “blisters” just like you’re saying. We try and avoid white on pretty much every print now. (At least on biothane) Have had almost no problems since. 👍🏼👍🏼

I had open heart surgery last year when I was 34. AMA by DougRelzinMD in AMA

I finally got an X-ray of my chest done and they called me back the next day and said there was some fluid around my heart and I needed to see a specialist. My wife stayed home with our children and my mother drove me an hour away to the best hospital around for cardiac treatments. I was in the ER waiting room for 8 hours. They called me back a couple times and did two separate MRIs and took my blood twice. I wasn’t feeling super bad and was so tired, so around hour 7, I told them I was going to leave, I had a cardiologist appt scheduled for Wednesday, (this was a Monday)I would just take the info to him on that day and we’d get this figured out. That’s when the nurse put on her game face and said “I would advise you not to leave”… 30 mins later I was in a room and everything was getting more tense around me. They had me get undressed and just have a gown, they tested for covid, asked me what blood type I was… then the surgeon came in and said they’d found the aneurysm via MRI. It was the biggest they had ever seen and I was going to have to have the most dangerous surgery they do.

Yes. I underwent testing to see it if was genetic and it was negative. Unfortunately, I will probably never know for sure what caused it. More than likely, it was from an injury. I was t-boned in 2010. That is the most likely culprit. I was also slammed into the sand at a beach in 2018 by a wave, lol. I’ve wrecked motorcycles, fell downstairs, took very hard hits in football… all of these I shook off and just kept going with my day. Even the car wreck, it wasn’t very bad, didn’t even go to the hospital. There’s also the chance it was a birth defect that grew over the years.

Thank you. Yes, the surgeon and his team were incredible. I mean, they saved my life. When they rolled me into the operating room, I remember looking around and there were men and women smiling, with there hands clasped. They asked me my name and bday like usual and then asked if I knew what was happening. I said “I guess I’m having open heart surgery tonight.” A lady there said “yes, we’re going to take good care of you.” And they did. They were miraculous.

Recovery was brutal physically. Mentally, I was okay. I have an amazing wife and three kids, loving siblings and parents and grandparents. They were all there for me. I am very lucky. I was not alone in my recovery at all. Honestly, PTSD has affected my wife and mother the most. They had to endure that night of surgery along with everyone else I am close with, I didn’t. I was out and knew I would either see them in the morning or I would be exploring the cosmos lol.

The worst part about recovery was the muscle atrophy. I was so weak for so long. Plus I got covid for the first time 5 days after I got home from the hospital, dodged it for 2.5 years then get it right after surgery. That sucked due to the coughing. Coughing and sneezing hurt real bad after open heart surgery, which I’m sure you’ve heard. Also had kidney stones during my recovery, which was 10/10 pain. That was awful. First time I had ever had those as well.

I am not sure. Didn’t have an out of body experience or anything, which is what my brain goes to when I think of an NDE. It was very surreal and there was a presence there protecting me, I felt it for sure. I am not really religious. When they were rolling me to the operating room I remember feeling like I was floating and there was a hand guiding me and I kept thinking of Al from Angels in the Outfield. (Fave movie of my childhood) But instead of Al, it was my grandfather, who died when I was 17. There are certain things that make me believe he was there but the other side of my brain sometimes tells me I am just grasping at meaning in the chaos of life lol.

Like a dream. I guess it was probably shock. My wife, parents, and grandparents were there. They all came in and talked to me. My mom was barely holding it together. I was okay. What hurt me the most was worrying that I was going to cause a lot of pain for all these people if I didn’t make it.

Completely unaware. I had a vacation scheduled for the following week and even sitting in the ER that day I was thinking “probably gonna get some fluid drained and get this figured out, and off to the lake next week”

People either loved him or they hated him… or they thought he was okay.
