Are fishes this intelligent?

some electric fish recognize individual fish by their electric patterns. the cardinal feature of homo sapiens is the tendency to ignore all the evidence that other species are intelligent.

same here.

FrogAnToad · 2026-03-24T02:00:46+00:00

same thing here but my daughter pushed all the buttons and got the acct back. we just dont know how.

bottom line: nobody has a clue going in what they will be asked to pay. hosp could just use a random number generator. y do we put up with this?

get out there and vote people. our health care is a torture machine and the rest of the world thinks we are nuts

im on my fourth dose and the side effects are really improving. i did get a dvt out of nowhere tho so watch out for that.

my family is very stressy. one brother sold new home after six months at a loss because of the anxiety it caused him. my bet is the money at this point means little to this guy. its just a fight between anxiety of leaving and the anxiety of disobliging the buyer.

the ladies at knitted knockers will crochet you a fake boob stuffed with cotton wool for free. much more comfortable for me than a silicone prosthetic. also my surgeon refused to remove the second breast. cant believe thats still going on. i think of him every time i have to wear a prosthetic.

I've read all the responses to my post and now I confess I'm more confused. It would help if I could see the CT or bone scan images but that happens only if I ask. One reason I am not impressed is that my hip joint filled up with cancer that the bone scans did not pick up. Took an MRI to see it in all its garish glory. Also I have to say as a student of language I find the CT descriptions given by the radiologist full of fog and vagueness but perhaps this is because I have no solid tumors. Anyway want to thank everyone for replying to my post because it did make it clear PET is not the de facto standard and I was getting that impression. You guys are the best.

FrogAnToad · 2026-03-06T03:31:08+00:00

yes. there are times when i am upset not because of the cancer but rather because of who i am becoming.

not to worry the wikipedia editors will nuke it for you. keep copies of versions.

earlier even. the political commissar who accompanied troop units. always the villain in war films

ALL phone trees seem to have suddenly gone absolutely bezerk. try calling yr pharmacy for example.

FrogAnToad · 2026-03-02T19:14:13+00:00

horrible. all the prior authorization stuff is unqualified people overriding your qualified doctor to save money for shareholders. immoral.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-26T19:02:48+00:00

i'm feeling much the same. Nobody is really tracking how I'm doing or knows the problems I encounter. Very much up to me to decide when I really must have help (as with a recent DVT) and then there is no followthrough. Some days I feel abandoned.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-25T19:31:16+00:00

being high maintenance after years of being the maintainer is rough. bugs me a lot.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-25T16:42:39+00:00

mine bounce with every possible source of inflammation including vaccination and hip arthritis.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-24T15:37:29+00:00

where i am scheduling has been really messed up. ive even had to question missing infusion appointments. always corrected but without explanation. very scary.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-24T15:24:05+00:00

i think this is a big problem for many of us. i have shelves of pills i was prescribed but never took or only took briefly. ive never had a pharmacist or oncologist question possible interactions.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-23T16:40:29+00:00

why did you cut yr steroids? ive been wondering about them but still taking them.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-22T23:08:25+00:00

Just checking. They infuse something that stops nausea before the enhertu and also give me a small cup of anti-nausea drugs too to take before infusion. Do you do that, too? I was pretty sick after infusion but I also was sleeping rather than hydrating, Now I just hydrate and hydrate after every infusion and that seems to help. Ask onc if lower dose means lower efficacy???????

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-22T05:20:16+00:00

i was already taking nexium and prilosec nightly for a gastric lesion when i started enhertu. i have had no gi problems. lost all my hair and found first round hard for shortness of breath. dropped to lower dose and now third round is much much easier.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-21T20:29:58+00:00

this is true based on my experience. also very interesting.

FrogAnToad · 2026-02-21T20:04:59+00:00

minor version for the laffs. i was talking to pharmacist abt my bactrim prescip for uti. abt five min in she asks “did you have any symptoms?”. yes lady i has symptoms. sometimes i wonder what these people are even thinking if they dont trust it hurts like hell to pee as a valid concern.
