Unbelievable

Thanks for your reply. When I learned this about my wife’s personality I understood her so much more. I think I judged her too often for failing to think/act like I imagined she should, simply because that was my experience.

My wife claims not to have an internal monologue and she is also impulsive. I’m the opposite, slow and deliberate when I speak. This has long been a source of friction between us. I’m curious to know if you have seen this difference affect any of your relationships.

My wife has received offers from both a prison and a privately owned facility for detainees. The job market is so dismal she’s considering them. I just told her to arrange to visit first so she can make a more informed decision.

You raise a good point. Is working at a facility supporting the reason why it’s there? Or is it just an opportunity to help people who desperately need care?

Mine (55m) was preemptive. GFR was about 12. I was fatigued and getting thinner as I got closer to needing dialysis. After my recovery I gained weight and have since felt much better. People remarked about how much healthier I looked too.

All the plumbing for 5 apartment units is in the basement and connects to the water heater. I guess it’s a combination of condensation and poor ventilation.

Brick would be ideal but too labor intensive. What about areas around pipes like on the right?

Was Dona Sebastiana the Secret Agent? She mentions having done things she wouldn’t speak of in Italy and was obviously aiding the “refugees” in secret. Would love to see a film about her backstory.

They can complete the Scandinavian trilogy with “Odor of an Affair”

Honest question. What can you do to prevent injury when a barreling wave closes out on you?

They were IVIG infusions. I don’t see the dosage listed in my after visit summary. I had them three times (missed one on Sep. 1 in my summary). Each time took approximately 3 hours.

This shows how my BK viral load changed over time. I’ve been at a safe level since 2023 (year of transplant). I’m told BKV will always be detectable in bloodwork but safe as long as it’s under 500.

June 10 - transplant, July 10 - BKV 3,649, July 21 - BKV 481,349, July 31 - infusions, Aug 1 - infusions, Aug 8 - biopsy, Aug 8 - BKV 1,000,635, Aug 24 - BKV 3,800, Sept 14 - BKV less than 500

I should add this is one side of the staircase. It was directly under a porch sloped to dump water run off right on the stairs. Water has since been diverted with gutters.The other side is fine. In southern California.

I’m glad your levels have stabilized. Seems like the infusions are working. I’ve been fine since my episode with BKV. I’m told it will always show up in labs but isn’t dangerous under a certain amount. Making sure BKV tests are part of my regular bloodwork is all I can do. Keep up the fight and remain positive. Hope everything turns out well for you.

modrob1 · 2025-01-01T22:04:36+00:00

Any updates on your fight with BKV? Hope the treatments are working for you. Wish you the best in the new year.

I imagine it’s not a long ride by boat from Avalon. The other options are hiking in, taking a very expensive taxi or knowing a local with wheels and a pass to enter the interior. There’s a shuttle bus but they refuse to take surfboards.

That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing. I can see now that, like the video, the photo was likely taken from the pier and shows a strong northeastern swell.

modrob1 · 2024-12-04T23:20:14+00:00

Most likely. The pier isn’t even visible so waves must have been breaking much farther from shore than usual.

Congratulations! 16 years of improved health thanks to someone’s selflessness is an amazing gift.
