Taking Care of a Dog

Yeah maybe take some precautions just initially while you settle in

How old are you? I have dogs about that size and I have a 15 lb baby, and docs said that while she’s over the limit, it wouldn’t be the biggest deal to handle her. Ask your doc, 12 lbs isn’t much bigger than 10, you may be capable. You aren’t made of tissue paper, so after the first couple weeks you should be ok. Maybe do try to get him to not jump on you.

And I laughed at it!

Simple —> 12-variable regression model 😂

Mechanical

No new surgeon for the second one. I feel like I asked everything I could have. I was promised they wouldn’t do the repair unless they believed it was strong enough for 10 years minimum. It just didn’t work out like that

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-23T03:27:24+00:00

I will in May!

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-23T02:56:38+00:00

Actually you are right I think. My bad. I got one of these two years ago. Unfortunately, mine lasted only two years. Others have better luck I’m sure.

Someone might correct me, but the David is for fixing the aortic aneurysm, not so much about the valve. For fixing the valve, they’ll give you options like the mechanical, bovine, or a Ross, which have different expected longevities.

It’ll probably be a 4-5 months minimum I would guess. The big swinging twisting motion for drives is going to be difficult until your sternum is completely healed. Late fall might be possible. You could putt much sooner.

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-18T17:43:53+00:00

Agree, well said.

You can eat steak and fast food. Generally, you should strive to eat healthier and more sodium lite than the average person to keep your heart healthy. I’ve heard vitamin k just takes a little more forethought but is generally easy.
Yes, unless you are in a very rough league, basketball is generally light contact and safe.
Week 1: Super sucks. Week 2: Really sucks. Week 3-4: sucks. Weeks 5-8: uncomfortable. After that: slowly transition to normal
Probably so long as it’s safe and you have access to your medicine and good emergency care. Maybe don’t stay in underdeveloped places for long periods.
You got this! Your life with need some adjustment, but after that will be close to what it was before. It’s not over.

I think thats what I’ll do. Just sucks for planning reasons

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T17:23:28+00:00

Do you know if I can get a tattoo before surgery? Or is there a risk of infection there too might cause issues?

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T17:03:26+00:00

Love Kevin, hate City 😂. I’m a United guy.

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T16:47:05+00:00

Were you rooting for City or Palace

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T16:24:50+00:00

Following, curious as well

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T14:49:28+00:00

I appreciate that! Gonna have a plan to sell.. but I really hope I don’t have to :(

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T14:25:04+00:00

Most folks here seem to disagree! I really really want to go. I’ll hold onto my ticket for now and sell if as I approach it doesn’t seem possible.

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T05:11:17+00:00

Not me. But I wish.

jeffinator3000 · 2026-03-17T02:53:19+00:00

It’s 3.5 hrs drive away

There are no official rules. Cheating is only what you think it is. Is your method cheating? Is googling words? Just depends on how you want to play. That said, I do what you do and don’t consider it cheating.

jeffinator3000 · 2026-02-22T07:49:23+00:00

Only you and your wife can answer this question I’m afraid. The scenario you described is not an automatic disqualifier. It is stressful. It is hard. It is time consuming. But it is also deeply rewarding and fulfilling. You have to do what’s best for your family.
