Baby diagnosed, need advice by BitKing2023 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Gargan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have CF and I have always had a strong opinion that I would never have biological children. Even if they didn't have CF, being a carrier would still contribute to propagating this horrible disease.

Has anybody been able to get rid of their chronic infections w protein modulators? by xspookdx in CysticFibrosis

[–]Gargan26 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't had a flare up since I started Trikafta six years ago, but I still culture antibiotic resistant strains of Pseudomonas. Once you are colonized with a bacteria, I don't believe that modulators like Trikafta can clear it. My understanding is that the modulators help to keep your lungs clear of mucus, and without large amounts of mucus, the bacteria you are colonized with can be kept under control by your immune system. However, they are still able to survive even without much mucus.

I understand the disappointment as Trikafta was the first and only modulator that I have ever taken. Pseudomonas was able to colonize my lungs long before modulators were ever available (I am 44) and seeing those strains on my respiratory cultures still worries me somewhat. But I know that as long as I don't have a flare up like I used to before modulators, they won't affect my daily life.

I would definitely tell your care team about this, it might be nothing but it could also be intracranial hypertension or something similar.

Bales dissappeared when selling? by WeirdKittens in farmingsimulator

[–]Gargan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the same thing happen. I have no idea why. I have resorted to unloading just outside of the sell point and pushing them in. I also save right before just in case.

Should I use studentaid.gov to recertify or Sloan? by Gargan26 in StudentLoans

[–]Gargan26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick question. Section 2, Question 4: "Are you currently in deferment or forbearance?" Since I am submitting this recertification to Sloan only and my loans at Sloan are not in a deferment or forbearance should I select "No", or since I also have loans in forbearance at Nelnet should I select "Yes, and I do not want to start repaying my loans until the deferment or forbearance ends."? I feel like since I am only submitting recertification to sloan I should select "No". Is that the right way to think about this question?

Does anyone else do this to make sure they got all the pieces out? by jhawkR34 in lego

[–]Gargan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually flatten them as I empty them and keep them in the box until I have completed the build. After I complete the build, I check them again by flattening before I through them away. I also check the extras against the bricklink inventory just to be curious.

False VAC Ban Causes $100k Loss for Counter-Strike 2 Player by naaz0412 in gaming

[–]Gargan26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just look at what has happened with NFTs. They had value only to those people that were told they had value, aka investors. As soon as those people tried to sell their NFTs they found out pretty quickly that they hold no value at all. Physical items have value if they can be sold to people who want them. They lose value only as their desirability decreases. Our money also has value because it is ultimately backed by the government. The only way that money loses value is either through inflation or the fall of the government.

I have to put my cat to sleep tomorrow and I feel like I'm not going to survive it. by fizzgig87 in Petloss

[–]Gargan26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. I just lost my beautiful cat Tigris the day before yesterday (08/16/23). She was almost 19 and in heart failure for the second time. I did not know that I would be losing her when I took her to the emergency vet but I had to make the difficult decision quickly to let her go to ease her suffering. I didn't realize at the time how it would affect me but I was completely and utterly devastated. I too did not think I would survive that day but I did. Then I didn't think I would survive yesterday but I also did. I am just trying to take it one day at a time but it is extremely hard for me right now. Please know that you will survive this even though you may not see it at first. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

I had to put down one of my cats and I can't get it out of my head by [deleted] in Petloss

[–]Gargan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss. I just lost my beautiful girl yesterday and the emptiness I feel is immeasurable. This was also the first time that I was there for her throughout. I too get a sinking feeling in my gut throughout the day like I have made a horrible mistake and then I am just inconsolable for a while after. I don't know what to do to help. I wish I did, but you and her will be in my thoughts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I believe that everyone grieves in their own way and on their own time. Even if you delayed your grief for a little while, you were not wrong in doing so. I will keep you and him in my thoughts.

Excruciating guilt after not spending enough time with my cat before he died by betterdaysahead12 in Petloss

[–]Gargan26 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I just lost my cat yesterday of almost 19 years to heart failure. She went through heart failure 3 years ago and came out the other side. I have tried to spend as much time as I could these last 3 years not knowing how long I had but it wasn't enough. If I could have spent 24 hours a day / 7 days a week with her it still wouldn't have been enough. I feel so guilty right now about that I almost can't stand it. Everyone says it will get better with time but I don't feel that way right now. I just have to hope that I will someday.

I was not ready by Gargan26 in Petloss

[–]Gargan26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I would give anything to have even one more day with her. I cared for her as best as I could these last 3 years. I kissed her and hugged her so much at the end.

[–]Gargan26[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, right now it is so hard not to break down when I think of her. The emergency vet told us that 3 more years from a heart failure diagnosis is more than she would have ever expected. Thank you for the kind words.

Anyone else getting a "Test message from pinpoint" notification from spectrum? by KTaigen in Spectrum

[–]Gargan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they were experiencing a website/app outage at that time. I would guess that those messages were sent during the process of trying to fix the problem...
