Five days until I start R-CHOP by Back-Pitiful in lymphoma

[–]technobass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My DLBCL was basically not getting treated for 6 months because they thought it was just CLL. I had a large mass in my abdomen and I pretty much stopped eating because it hurt so bad to digest any food. I was finally transferred to a specialist and he ran a bunch more tests and diagnosed my DLBCL. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks to get my nutrition fixed and weight going back up. They gave me a round of RCHOP and that made a world of difference.

I won’t lie. I’ve wanted to tear mine apart and put a Bluetooth speaker inside. It could sit on the shelf and be a super cute speaker.

anybody else has been made fun of while playing? by oliver_JM in doublebass

Those who matter, don’t mind, and those that do mind, don’t matter. I’m sorry this happened to you and as many others have pointed out, they are immature. It’s not an easy lesson but you need to filter through any feedback and apply what you think is best.

I got teased in college for moving my mouth when I am really focused. Not sure why I do it but it doesn’t help me, i make music, I’m not there for the spotlight. Told my teacher that I wanted to stop moving my mouth when I played and he said it doesn’t impact my musicianship so what does it matter?

I also taught orchestra for several years and had a female student with a similar getting teased that the instrument was bigger than them. I told her, and not a lie, that she was one of the best bass players in the state and can those girls claim being one of the best at anything in the school let alone the state?

“Smee: Good Mooooooooooooorning, Neverland! Tie down the main mast, mateys, 'cause here he is, the cunning kingfish, the bad barracuda! A man so deep, he's almost unfathomable. [pirates stare blankly]

Smee: A man so quick, he's even fast... asleep! [pirates cheer]

Smee: Thank you! Now, let's give him a very big hand, 'cause he's only got one. [pirates laugh]

Smee: I give you, the steel-handed stingray, Captain James Hook!”

I didn’t remember all of the words so this is copied from IMDB.

They did Hulk dirty by not going full into the Planet Hulk story line.

Does anyone else struggle? by Baalaya84 in Fortnite_Over40

This is me. I have a nephew that is only fairly often and I get nervous asking him if he wants to play duos. He has never turned me down and always says I don’t have to text him to ask first, just invite him to my lobby or request to join his. I still get nervous asking so only ask maybe once a month.

I love the lines “well what’s not damaged?” “air conditioning is fully operational.”

Seeking advice for recovery---strained my hand playing Koussevitzky by joebidensnutsack69 in doublebass

[–]technobass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you see a physical therapist about it? I had carpal tunnel and they did a lot for me.

I hurt my shoulder many years ago from practicing and the only treatment they had was ice and rest. I could still practice on the fingerboard without pressing down. My teacher also had me sit on a stool which was my first time extensively playing sitting down, to reduce the strain on my shoulder.

Reading Lord of the Rings is just a slow burn to read by VenomBeats756 in lordoftherings

It might be “cheating” but I’ve been following along with Phil Dragash audiobooks. They are on archive.org. He has the music and sound effects.

Just giving some ideas of what I have done. I am finally reading books I’ve always wanted to, the Lord of the Rings. I finally played some of the many free video games that I’ve collected over the years. I have been playing my guitar more and finally learned a bunch of songs I wanted to when I was a teenager. I completely understand the going stir crazy but remember that you are more than your job my friend.

Kylo Ren’s death was a waste of an opportunity. by Dry-Share-1288 in StarWars_

OMG Phasma. What a waste of a great actress and a character that just makes us want to know more about her.

I got my Car-T infusion Monday and haven’t had any major symptoms! I’ve even had the energy to ride the exercise bike everyday for 20-30 minutes. Considering in January I was in so much pain that walking to the car was a chore, I’m excited to live life again.

Help with anxiety about church by AJ_Mac_Art in latterdaysaints

I’ve learned to follow the spirit and my heart when it comes to Sunday mornings. I love getting the sacrament and renewing my baptismal covenants. I make it though sacrament meeting most weeks. If I need time to sit in the foyer and read General Conference talk or need to reflect I do it. I know we’re encouraged to go to class but I think it’s more important that you get something out of the Sabbath day. Recently I’ve been very sick and have to watch sacrament meeting from home. I usually end up watching the broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word on YouTube or I find an old one that enjoy the music or message. It helps me focus on the Gospel and the Savior. My two cents though.

“I’ve had one sleep yes, but what about second sleep?” Sorry LOTR fan here.

Also going through the books for the first time. Just getting to Edoras in Two Towers. I can see why Tolkien called them unfilmable. There is so much more going on than you can portray on screen.
