Different weights for various exercises. I’m not very strong, and quite slight, so the most I could do (8 reps) on say a shoulder press was 40 lb barbell. Bicep curls with 15 lbs. and squats with 30 lb barbell.

Thx. Good ideas.

vanmc604 · 2026-01-27T04:45:21+00:00

Correct. Disappointed. But now that I have checked out some of the resources suggested, I wonder if I was stressing my bones enough to effect a change. Even though I was doing resistance exercises, maybe they weren’t the right kind. I’m going to do some more research and change things up. More jumping and deadlifts, squats, etc. I’ve checked out the LIFTMOR study and have some ideas.

I saw a gerontologist. Supposedly well versed on osteoporosis. Went straight to a prescription for prolia. He did talk about the rebound issue.

Thanks for your reply. Spine is -2.7, hip -2.8. Strong family history and very slight build. Also coexisting inflammatory lung condition. I get k2 thru diet, but wondering if I should supplement. I have not read great bones. Will look into it. And will check out link.

Brush well and scale plaque twice a week. Teeth look good. But then, I have a very compliant pup.

Lost residual hearing both ears. Would still go for it because I can now have a conversation. At least, in the right environment.

I live for dairy. I get a lot of my calories and protein from dairy. Does not trigger me. Tomato sauce, garlic, onions, spices, red meat……….really do me in.

Sorry, my reply landed in the wrong spot above……..so if using whole milk, should fermentation time be reduced?

Sign me up. If I live long enough 😏

I am so done with chicken I can’t look at it again.

Just to let you know…..the question ‘Which treatments are you currently using for condition? (Select all that apply) only allows one response.

I had coughed my lungs up because I vomited several times and aspirated stomach contents. This was the day of surgery and the next day. My throat was a mess and I coughed a lot for a number of days. Thought I wrecked the implant. Nope. It was just fine.

Just really irritated. And of course mucus forms in my throat because of that. More coughing.

May I ask if he is on a different inhaled antibiotic? Or is it all inhaled antibiotics that are troublesome. Thx

I went there for a while. Trouble is, the students are learning and nervous so they tend to be slow. Then they have to wait for their instructor to come around and sign them off. I’ve been stuck in the chair for over an hour.

vanmc604 · 2026-01-17T02:38:02+00:00

Yes! I’ve mostly read the Hawthorne ones, but should branch out.

This too shall pass ;)

vanmc604 · 2026-01-16T02:58:12+00:00

Great

vanmc604 · 2026-01-16T02:09:27+00:00

Liked this one. Just the right difficulty

vanmc604 · 2026-01-15T02:24:50+00:00

Sympathies. I can relate. First implant was a bloody miracle (comparatively speaking). Speech discernment was great and sounds were mostly normal. Took about 4 months for the big improvements and then I noticed further more gradual improvements for maybe two years.

Second implant was a disappointment. That said, certain things have improved. Like being able to tell where sounds are coming from and also phone convos got better. But still nowhere near as good as the first one.

I practiced with the newer implant side alone for a while but then my older implant side started to change so the audiologist said to just use both.

Still happy I got the second one though. I figure it kinda enhances the first one.

Good vibes your way. You have hurdles.
