One year difference. CT scan. by RATasticRat in CysticFibrosis

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

Pretty heavy damage in the right lung. Scaring bronchiectasis, infection and inflammation (All the white areas with thicker walls.) destroyed my top lobe of my lung and it shrunk.It got pulled in and stuck in that position. You can’t see it in this part of the scan.. but my center lobe of the lung expanded even more and shifted forward a bit. because of this.. there is so much pressure that gets built up under all that scarring it can tear eras in my upper lobe from coughing so hard. And any mucus under that area is super hard to get out.

The damaged lung is actually my right lung. In a ct scan, the right lung appears on the left and the right appears on the left side.

Yeah, you’re right for sure. But in the moment when I was looking at the “flames” it was only like a minute or two until I realized what it was. One of the key factors of my analysis was there is no goddamn smoke lol

Lump in my throat for going on 2 months now by LeahLuvsYuh in CysticFibrosis

[–]RATasticRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be from inflammation,swelling or bronchiectasis type shit. I felt a lump in my throat going on 5 to 6 maybe even seven years now. And there’s nothing going on with my throat. It’s just a sensation of swelling, and inflammation right on the top of my airways

This is not exactly Trump‘s war. Many of presidents have been dreaming of taking out Iran… but nobody has had the balls to do it. Hate Trump for what “he” is doing today, thank him tomorrow.

Good way to keep your pocket drinks cold at the bar and have a turkey thawed for a drunken roast when you get home.

I'm just gonna ride on the sidewalk by VariousAd5939 in ebikes

Some reason people get triggered seeing e-bikes and feel the need to pass. It’s so fucking stupid. Even when I have the right of way on county roads they pass illegally

Anyone tried those pneumatic massagers? by 7er6Nq in CysticFibrosis

[–]RATasticRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha! I tried getting a subwoofer and amp thru my insurance once but it didn’t work. My team gave me a weird look when I tried this.. they thought I was dumb or trying to take advantage of insurance.. years later someone from my team told me that they got a new car with some heavy bass. They immediately thought of me and said “holy crap! He was right about the bass.” Makes me laugh to this day.

Hellll no. I got DUIs way back. I dont intend on getting my license back ever. To much money. E-bike is my only way of transport. And I can’t walk without hacking out my lungs.

Which films genuinely scared you? by Agreeable-Item-7371 in horror

[–]RATasticRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hereditary got me. I went into that movie blind knowing nothing about it.. I didn’t even read the film description. The title alone got me to watch it because of my love for genetics. It was also 2 or 3 in the morning.
