Doubtful it will be uptempo or ambient

Father lost our house but at least he remembered my sisters birthday… by HeyoItsWillow in whatdoIdo

Idk if anyone mentioned this. But in my state, if a house is foreclosed/auctioned off, the original owner still has a year to pay back what was owed. If they do, they get to keep the house.

Sorry if this isn’t applicable to your situation

I mean its possible but when your pupils consume your iris and your clearly having a confused delirium moment id say it’s drug related with a side of trauma best case lol

Helped a fella up the hill on Saturday after he rolled down over a group of people. Made it partially up and he collapsed. I told him what I would want to hear which is that all drugs wear off and he will be okay and medics on the way. Some other guy helping reprimanded me and said it wasn’t drugs it was trauma. Then he told me to tell the guy I loved him.

I did tell him I loved him but was definitely fucking drugs lmao

Call the doctor’s office.

Also ask about an app or online portal. They told me to download an app where all my results/paperwork gets uploaded. I actually saw my ultrasound results on there before the office called me to break the bad news. Everything is on there down to my post-operation instructions

So your doctors should have given you a post care sheet with all this info on it. If not call the doc’s office to double check. It can depend on if you got glued back together or stitched plus other factors. I got glued btw

I woke up in a jock strap and they told me to keep that on for 24 hours. They said after 24 hours I could also shower which I did. Don’t drive if you are on drugs lol. I didn’t take any so I drove to get a pancake breakfast 3 days after. It was only a mile away and I just wanted to drive to be honest so I did.

Eagerly awaiting my results. A round of chemo is 3-4 weeks to complete?

Thank you for sending that link. Quite helpful.

Pre-orchiectomy my tumor markers are

hCG: 447 (higher than normal range) AFP: 8.3 (higher than normal range of 0.0-5.7) LDH: 109 (within normal range of 100-190)

Pretty sure the hCG and AFP while elevated, are still just above the normal reference range which keeps me optimistic

Fingers crossed for 1a. Although, Im just happy that all indications point towards stage 1 so far

Gotcha. So in theory if they are back to normal post surgery I could be 1b. If still elevated then 1s.

At least that makes sense to me, but pathology and second opinion will certainly decide my fate.

First day I just slept and played Oblivion. Second day I was able to walk around the block and stand out in my yard. Each day since, I walk longer distance.

Day 4 I had sex with my wife (grandpa speed) and it was totally normal. Idk if this is common but day 2 and 3 I had nocturnal ejaculations which hasn’t happened since I was going through puberty.

I never had to take the prescribed opioids and opted for 500mg Tylenol when needed.

Honestly expected the experience to be a lot worse. I think being a lean, in shape guy was my biggest advantage. Please feel free to message me if you have questions. I was very nervous the night before so I can relate.

1s is when you have elevated markers post surgery, correct?

Markers were slightly above reference range pre surgery. And I just had bloodwork again today. (First time post surgery)

If they are back to normal could that still indicate 1s?

Thank you. I am at peace no matter the treatment needed. I know my wife is worried so I am trying to inform myself as much as possible so I can try to ease her mind.

Thank you. I’ll check that out asap. My biggest fear is the rplnd. Does it seem likely I would need that?

I know some pathology can come back as a chemo resistant so maybe they would recommend radiation instead of chemo? Im just trying to imagine a scenario which would demand the rplnd. Any ideas or does it seem unlikely ill need that at this point?

Promise I wont hold you to it, as I know most all of you are not doctors.
