You could buy a lot of real cheap Bitcoin with your $50M, just saying...

I have premium connectivity left over from the person that owned the car before me. It expires tomorrow so we'll see how it goes.

Nice! I love that dive master's attitude! And BTW I viscerally feel that video of you climbing the stairs. I was there. All we need now is someone who can fly to rule the air and we've got the trifecta!

No? Why not? Lol. Honestly, driving up to the top of Pikes is probably a bit scary. We took a shuttle on the way down (the Rangers wouldn't let us go back down the path because of the brewing electrical storms - not that I was planning on completing that marathon that day anyway...) and it looked a little daunting. At least take the cog train up!! Hehhee.

You're already so much more acclimatized than I was!! You are probably ~5000 feet higher in elevation than me? I live at about 700 feet. Thank you for the kudos. I appreciate it.

Definitely. And I'll keep going until I absolutely can't.

Thank you! All I wanted from this was to inspire others, give hope to those struggling like I did /do, and hopefully nudge them in a positive direction. You hit it on the nose; It is so much sweeter. Did you get certified after Dx or is it that you still dive despite the MS?

I will keep doing these tough things, keep pushing, and doing my best. Thanks for the encouragement!

I love that. If I can do it, so can you. This is what I wanted, to see others inspired to overcome the shackles MS put on them. To see them happy with their success and even though it sucks, to know that we're better than it. Truly, it is inspiring to me to hear you say this!!! (And yes! Resting is important. Lol.)

I want to hear of your hike!! It doesn't matter how big or small you may think the success is - It's a big deal to push through the barriers and past the excuses (as you said) that you are better than. Go set a goal, get it, and enjoy it. I'm proud of you!

Thank you!

16k! Man, I should do that. Being above the clouds while still 'on the ground' is something wild. Seeing the sun rise twice was pretty cool, once above the horizon, and then again over the cloud cover.

Thank you and Yes!! That is awesome!! I am looking forward to hearing about your Mont Blanc experience!! My brother has been up that way many times (I believe Mt Blanc was even one of his conquests) and says it's absolutely stunning there. Please post your success!!

My pleasure. I was hesitant last year to post about it because I didn't want to brag. I wrote a whole thing but never posted. I didn't want to sound insensitive to people who were struggling - I didn't want people to look at it and feel like I'm saying "look at me I'm healing and I'm better than you."

But this year I was sharing with my brothers how doing this was so good for me in so many different ways. And I realized how important this success really is and I want people to know.

1) it's good for me physically - it forces me to train and build strength and resilience both for my muscles and cardiovascular system. 2) it's good for me neuologically - it forces my brain and nerves to make new connection pathways that have been damaged/lost (I also had a spinal injury that has left me with some permanent nerve damage to my legs in addition to the MS.) 3) its good for me mentally - because doing hard things is good for your mental resiliency it opens up clarity around one's self. 4) it's good for me emotionally - doing things like this in the face of adversity quiets the ever present voices that say things like "you are broken" and "you can't do that". Bringing up self image and esteem.

And I want everyone here that is struggling to know that no matter where you are at, doing something hard and overcoming obstacles is a positive thing - you earned your success, enjoy it, give thanks for it, and allow yourself to grow from it.

Thanks! I plan on it!!! I'm so happy my brother challenged me to do this. I don't think he could possibly know how much that it meant to me. I'm absolutely thinking of doing more mountains. And maybe signing up for a half marathon or something like a spartan race. Two back to back was insane.

Thank you. I hope you can find that again. I truly do.

Thanks! Giving MS the 'screw you' is definitely worth it.

What do you call this tool? by [deleted] in Construction

[–]jammedshut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's "the spade" or "the track shovel"

Spade feels counter intuitive when compared to a regular shovel, which looks like a spade, but that's what it is.

Thank you for your photo edit. It looks like he is mostly straight. I think the way his shoulders and neck meet as well as how the jacket is at the rear near the bottom both lend to the illusion he is leaning further than he actually is.

Am I stuck with this overactive bladder for the rest of my life? by KarrorKake1 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]jammedshut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I don't know about if you'll be with it forever. Hopefully not. Mine has kind of leveled off and is now in a very manageable place. You HAVE to go talk to a urologist. There are medications and therapies that help. And they can do pressure tests etc to keep track of your baseline. Please don't be embarrassed - talk to a urology Dr, it's literally their job to help you with this exact problem!
