badger_14 601 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 Woke up yesterday morning, ready to sing at the final service of the year. Then we all heard about the nightclub shooting in Orlando. For many of us in the congregation and choir, it hit terribly close to home. I am appalled, and angry, and hurting for the victims and their families.

IPv6Freely 2100 Report post Posted June 14, 2016 Awesome. Nurse just called me to tell me to increase my dose of blood thinners, that there will be somebody stopping by my home wed, thurs and fri this week for blood tests, and that I will be on these meds for "3-6 months", which is very different from "3 months" I was told at the hospital. Oh, and my grandma died this morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtasticness 89 Report post Posted June 15, 2016 There is a guy on my team that smells like vomit. I mean strong like he vomited on himself and didn't shower for a week. Sure some guys stink during the game but it's never been so bad where I didn't wanna breathe or sit next to the guy. I wanna say something but nobody likes being told they smell like vomit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I skated against a goalie once who stank so badly you could smell him from the bench. In fact, when he was on the opposite bench (at the time we had a rotation), past both penalty boxes and the scorekeeper's box, you could *still* smell him.

Ashtasticness 89 Report post Posted June 22, 2016 Update on the stinky guy: We had our third game of the summer season (which we won 5-3). I noticed stinky guy was no longer stinky. I asked him, "hey did you wash your gear since last week?" And he says, "yeah, why? Did I smell?" So I told him, "yeah man you smelled like vomit." I guess he realized his own stench and got to it before I had to gift him with febreeze. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read more Yea. She increased the dose to 4 pills (10mg) for a couple days. Got it to 2.4. Backed it down to 3 pills the last couple days and its now holding steady. Now I only need to have blood tests done every 3 days instead of every day, so that's good. The original prescription (of 5mg) was calculated based on age, height and weight so that shouldn't have been a problem. But man, this stuff is serious business. I have a bruise on my arm from the tape holding the gauze on being slightly too tight. My belly is absolutely disgusting with the bruising from the lovenox injections. Thank god im done with those. They actually told me Monday I can stop taking them, so I actually still have one needle left. I was SO glad to not have to use it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
