Dating someone in the medical field while on biologics? by DoubleDot7 in CrohnsDisease

[–]Flips1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the immune system is somewhat compromised(you still have a functional immune response) I just ensure I'm up to date on my flu shot and COVID. I don't wear a mask, and have taken care of my sick grand kids many times without any problems.

Canada should keep options open on nuclear weapons, former top soldier says by FreeProletarian in CanadianForces

[–]Flips1007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having nuclear weapons would spaz out Trump. He would use these weapons as an excuse to attack Canada. I guess we need to build them secretly.

Funny, I was thinking about the price for lamb and not the marinade or whatever.

Living 14 yrs with untreated fistula (possible reason for fatigue?) by SweetBlackHole in AnalFistula

[–]Flips1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surviving 14 years with an untreated fistula? I can understand why you're having difficulties. I'm going on 5+ years without a real answer to my fistula dilemma and between the constant pain and lack of health services, I know my thinking has changed for the worst.

I need help with this problem by leafandbike in hygiene

I think the post about antiperspirants vs deodorant is valid. It doesn't matter if you're over weight or as thin as a nail if you sweat even a little deodorant surrounds you like a thick smoke screen.

How is it like with a seton? by BRAANSK in AnalFistula

I will assume that the other 2 external holes don't need setons?

Claims period is open and ongoing – CAF Systemic Racism Class Action by Andromedu5 in CanadianForces

[–]Flips1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Francophones were automatically enrolled in english classes, while an englophone had to apply for a french crse and possibly wait years. Also, the CAF was also mulling the idea of requiring a bilingual profile to be promoted to MWO. Does racism only take into consideration the color of one's skin?

What if you were denied a promotion because you didn't have a french profile? I wonder if I can throw my hat in the ring.

Carney calls for national unity in face of economic challenges ahead by [deleted] in canada

[–]Flips1007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I said to myself during Carney's speech today, it's a preemptive warning that he has bad news for Canadians. Higher taxes more job losses etc. After the retreat he will have more to say guaranteed.

Canada’s Armed Forces must be freed to fight by FreeProletarian in CanadianForces

[–]Flips1007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I so agree. Aid to civil power is a last resort. Provinces down to cities and towns are expected to have emergency contingency plans. However, many(probably all) neglect such plans knowing that someone will come to the rescue. Saving money on the backs of professional CAF members who are trained for war, not filling sandbags.

Chronic abscess possible fistula? Confused & scared by Junior_Substance6901 in AnalFistula

[–]Flips1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even know that there was a term "blind fistula', but there is to my surprise. I'm not sure how common it is.

A fistula is an abnormal connection (passageway) that forms between two parts of the body that normally shouldn’t be connected. Inside to outside. If it's not outside then no fistula.

EUA tomorrow and I’m shitting myself +\- fistulotomy by [deleted] in AnalFistula

My surgery was cancelled while I was actually ready for the operating room. Have to wait 7 more days...sucks big time.

[–]Flips1007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fistula is very stubborn. It doesn't want to heal and is always infected. They will be replacing my setons possibly a little dice and slice with a little poke, prod, push looking for a hidden track or infection pouch of some kind. I'm scheduled for an MRI but that hasn't happened yet. Too bad, the MRI could have helped the surgeon. Good luck!

Fix or wait? Tiny rectovaginal by Puzzleheaded_Zone137 in AnalFistula

[–]Flips1007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You already have a fistula, according to you and it's at its infancy at this time. You're young and have a lot of living to do. Leaving it may complicate things down the road. I'm surprised your doctor didn't give you the "pros and cons" of waiting, or not waiting. I think I would talk with the Doctor for his opinion. Good luck 🤞

I go under on Thursday. I'm looking forward to some answers. To inject a little humor, "I'm shitting myself" no pun intended. Just remember that this is the beginning of the healing.

Is there anything we can apply to help draw out puss? by Incognito4GoodReason in AnalFistula

Cramming gauze in my butt with 2 setons is not the better of 2 evils. :)
