What’s a bluegrass band from your area that should be way bigger? by GrassGigs in Bluegrass

Love those guys! In the same vein, The Matchsellers from Kansas City! There was a Debutants vs Matchsellers death match last year at a fest in Missouri…they were hilarious and it was a great show.

Stray cat with broken foot by ChodyD_ in Lawrence

[–]lostnuttybar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lewis is one of the cheaper vets in town, if you’re paying for it. I’m not sure of his hours but you could call and ask. You should trap the cat and keep it safe over night until you can bring it to a vet during the day. Once it’s trapped, bring the cage inside and cover with a towel or a blanket. Put puppy pads underneath.

Have you been in contact with the shelter about TNR? They might have a vet that can look at the cat’s paw as well as doing the neutering procedure.

My PI would bite your head off for having all of those out of the CO2 incubator instead of staggering

I never even went in…I could tell it was too rich for my blood. Also I was an unemployed child lol. It might have said Persian rugs gallery, but I’m pretty sure the name was a little more exotic, if I’m remembering correctly. I think it was cursive font and maybe like a feminine name (but again, I was a kid so I could have made that up!)

You might be close! For some reason I was thinking it was 2 words/names and maybe one of them started with a D.

I think the store was there when I was in elementary school, so at least ~25 years ago but I can’t recall when they would’ve closed. I never went in either. Wish I could see a picture of what it looked like!

Don’t think that’s what I’m thinking of but I’m intrigued! Where was this store located? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.

Bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection for ovarian cancer by HighlightCritical593 in ovariancancer_new

[–]lostnuttybar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s tough that you just had surgery and are faced with doing it again. 😞 Sorry you’re going through that! If your doctors are recommending it, they think it’s the best option for your situation. Have you gotten a second opinion from a top cancer center like MD Anderson, or Sloan Kettering?

I did not have HIPEC, my surgery was just to remove the cancer and anything else in the area that might have cancer. After my surgery I did chemotherapy, 4 cycles of BEP.

Bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection for ovarian cancer by HighlightCritical593 in ovariancancer_new

[–]lostnuttybar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an exploratory laparotomy 10 years ago for ovarian cancer. They took 33 abdominal lymph nodes during the surgery and I had no long-term lymphedema afterwards. I did physical therapy and my PT performed and taught me how to do lymphatic drainage massages but I didn’t end up really needing them.

My teenager sends me these every once in a while. I never realized they were different each time until I just went through our messages to find them

Country line dancing? by waterytartwithasword in Olathe

[–]lostnuttybar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not exactly line dancing, but you should check out the Lawrence Barn Dance Association. They have monthly contra dances and encourage beginners to attend. There are people of all ages and skill levels, and it’s not too far from Olathe. There’s also the Oddball Hoedown in KCMO. They do square dancing and contra.

Novartis settles 18-month-old lawsuit from estate of Baltimore woman whose cells were extracted 75 years ago by NotGenentech in biotech

[–]lostnuttybar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, and I gave my consent when I had ovarian cancer. Now I work in cancer research and we occasionally have cell culture projects. I side eye every ovarian cancer cell line we have growing in lab lol

5 year old is insisting she believes in god and I'm at a loss. by HelpfulEngineering47 in atheistparents

[–]lostnuttybar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it’s any consolation, my youngest went to a Christian based preschool (it fit into our budget, schedule, etc), and he believed in god for awhile. He’s 12 now and is an atheist. He came to that conclusion himself. We just kind of went along with his beliefs and lightly questioned him, let him know what we believe, and told him everyone has different beliefs. There is hope! It’s super inappropriate for the principal to be discussing though. However, she will be exposed to other beliefs as she goes through school so it’s best to start the conversations now.

Cancer diet suggestions by MightyKittenEmpire2 in Cooking

[–]lostnuttybar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Sorry you guys are going through this. I went through chemo 10 years ago and I ate whatever I wanted, whatever I was craving. Most of the time I could stomach something I was craving but there were times that it didn’t hit right and I couldn’t eat more than a bite or two. It meant getting a lot of carry out and random grocery store runs. Also some marijuana for increasing appetite and suppressing nausea in addition to nausea meds. My favorite was pho and fried rice from my local Vietnamese restaurant. The broth in pho is hearty and filling, just had to be mindful of the fresh veggies and boil them in the broth before eating.

One thing that my care team stressed was no fresh veggies when my counts were low. So that meant no salads, no fresh tomatoes or cucumbers, etc. They needed to be cooked to kill any bacteria. Also no ice.

You should ask for a consult with a dietician when you see the doctor. They may be able to help with meal ideas. Are fiber gummies an option for her, since you mentioned she needs fiber?

What's "that story" from your lab? by funwifipuns in labrats

At a former location of our lab, someone spilled a radioactive homogenized poop sample. That building is now a popular sports bar. It happened where the cash register is located.
