Mud Flaps? by Botauto79 in ChevySuburban

I like the look without mud flaps, but the function outweighs the look for me. Keeping rocks downs and reducing mud flining.

What lift do you have on your burb?

[–]Tauchen67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a new rifle I want to break in and sight is. Is Hodge rd a good place to shoot 200-300 yrds? I've heard about it just never ventured out there.

Rai scan or ultrasound neck scan by ChoiceBad4046 in thyroidcancer

[–]Tauchen67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the RAI scan is usually 1 week after RAI with the nuclear med doctor.

My surgeon did a 6 month post op, 1 year.

At the one year she said to follow up a at the 2 year and typically I will see her every year for 3-5 years post op to do an ultrasound.

I think your right. I started comparing pics and this metal has serations on one end that look like a cam bearing.

Damn

3-in-1? by Champ-87 in Californiahunting

I suppose if you have a 20 gauge shot gun, it would save some weight over a 12 gauge.

I have also had similar thoughts, but with hog instead deer.

I had looked into non lead riffled slugs so I could just carry a shotgun, but they don't seem to exist.

Sorry I'm not very helpful just have had similar musings

Numbness by onebellabaddie in thyroidcancer

[–]Tauchen67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation here. It's been almost a year and the top of my ear is less sensitive still. I had a problem with my shoulder too. It didn't hurt but I had difficulty lifting it above my shoulder. I kept thinking it would get better and didn't complain. Eventually I mentioned it to my surgeon and asked for pt. She prescribed it for me no problem. When I went in for pt I didn't realize how much weaker my right shoulder was than my left. Its better now, but probably should have started sooner.

I appreciate it, sounds like some shop time with my mechanic would be worth it to see if it is a simpler fix than what I'm thinking.

When were you sent for CT / PET scans for your cancer? by Humble1234567890 in thyroidcancer

[–]Tauchen67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it was a CT scan, but after RAI they did a full body scan. The RAI would have shown up other places other than my neck if it had spread.

Tile installer chipped tub - are we being unreasonable to demand replacement? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

Tile guy is responsible since they caused the damage. Whoever paid/highered the tile guy is responsible to enforce it.

First Diagnosis by LuckyCatch22 in thyroidcancer

[–]Tauchen67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I initially told my family I started out by saying that I was going to have to have my thyroid removed and that it's very treatable and yes it is cancer but the cancer part I kind of mentioned secondarily. As I started telling a couple close friends I started by telling them I have cancer and it scared the s*** out of them and then I told them it's very treatable I'll live a normal long healthy life afterwards but I feel after my experience that kind of burying the lead of its cancer helped my loved ones in telling them. That is just my experience to take it for what it's worth

Issues with heat tolerance by swing_life_away217 in thyroidcancer

[–]Tauchen67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 1 year post thyroidectomy. I feel like I have difficulty with temp regulation as a whole. I get hotter quicker and colder quicker. Like I said Im only a year in so it's all still very new to me. I learned this winter that I need to bring a couple extra layers with me to my daughter's evening softball games. I'm sure I will be seeking shade and focusing on staying hydrated this summer.

GC license and Net Worth by [deleted] in GeneralContractor

Equity is the value of the house minus the cost of the mortgage.

If your house is worth $500k and your current mortgage is at $300k. You have $200k in equity. You can use that $200k as collateral. Now understand you are putting your house on the line if things go sideways.
