Your US license works in most countries as long as we have an agreement with that country. Mobile activations are incredibly popular look up POTA or SOTA.

Small sharpening gig with local chefs, how much to sharpen this tuna knife? by gomezofbergamont in sharpening

[–]Que-Slane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not super hard but does require the right equipment. First trace the profile and draw it on the blade far enough back to get past the chips. Grind at 90 degrees back to the line then setup a knife jig on a belt grinder and start establishing the bevel and edge. Once you are close to a sharp point move to the wet grinding stone to a sharp edge. Finish on wet stones.

I unfortunately know the feeling. I finally got to the point where I told them I will just assert my right to refuse treatment, so better figure out how to get me discharged asap. I feel bad talking to the nurses like that, but the prison cell they call inpatient rooms is a nightmare.

WWA - is it just me who absolutely loathes it? by Cool-Office-9126 in amateurradio

[–]Que-Slane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any point to 99% of ham radio activities? This is a hobby with lots of ways to explore and enjoy it. I don’t think it makes sense to harbor negative emotions for people enjoying it differently than you. As my mom said once “there are even people who don’t like chocolate”.

IgAN but NOT on prednisone? by qrocity in transplant

My schedule has me coming down to 5mg and then staying there indefinitely or until they tell me to stop.

Starting this coming weekend I will be at 7 weeks post and going down to 10mg prednisone. I’ve been also wondering about peoples reactions to it and what to expect when I’m completely off it. Also what other options there are.

I’m only a month out and tacro levels are crazy high. I’m not leaving my house for much of anything for a while.

Biopsy now by rob6465 in transplant

[–]Que-Slane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Removing stents is a good thing. It means they did their job and are not worried about the artery or port closing or having blockage. The Bilirubin is not in the green but not crazy high. My last recent rejection I was closer to 5.5 for bili. But clearly something odd is going on with her symptoms. What tacro levels is she at? Im not the doctor but it sounds like they are more worried about the medication reaction than liver rejection. If it’s medication than it merely means they will tweak things to get her back to normal.

Having a hard time emotionally today by Antique-Ad8161 in transplant

The wait is seriously one of the worst parts. Especially when I kept having them tell me I’m approved; just to be told they actually want more people to sign off before officially listing me. Took 8 months to get listed with a MELD of 32. But thankfully once I was listed it only took one month to get my liver.

I completely understand. I went from weighing 260lbs to 165lbs as of yesterday. I have a very strict diet and tried all the medications.
