The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Woah...yeah, you win. Sorry to hear about your kidney.

Oh, in case you thought that was recent, that was years ago now. Kidney cancer. Only real issue was that I ended up bleeding excessively into my skin (not, mind you, the actual surgical area, the areas they had to punch through in the orthoscopic procedure) which caused some problems, but otherwise it went well, and, well, I'm still here so I have to call that a win.

My leg is sore and bruised (and heavily-medicated), and I'm still waiting on test results, but everything is looking good atm.

Spoiler: TMI about my medical history

If you're overwhelmed with curiosity, or if you're just bored, here's what's up with my leg.

As some of you might already know, I lost quite a bit of weight. (There's no trick, no gimmick, or magic here. I asked my doctor what to do, did it, and boom! Fitness happened.) I ended up losing 56 pounds in total...but as I got smaller, a lump that had been hidden in the fatty tissue of my thigh slowly appeared. And tumors are not cool.

Spoiler: TMI about my medical history

Nope. Some are lympomas which don't mean anything, but there's a lot of other things--and that large is alarming.

My doc took a look at it, then referred me to a specialist. The specialist referred me to a surgeon. And that surgeon removed the tumor yesterday morning. Apparently it was a fibrolipoma "about the size of an apple," but they sent it off to the lab to have it tested and confirmed. Apparently there are lots of different kinds of lipomas, and some of them are worse than others. All I have to show for it now is a 5" incision and a prescription for painkillers. Anyway, that's what's up.

Yeah, that;s probably okay. Probably.

Unrelated to the medical convo (@CleverNickName I hope things continue to go well for you) ...

That sounds like a horrible terrible idea that cannot be at all fun.

... at what point will people realize that some threads will only continue because people persist in arguing with the same group of people? The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference, and indifference is a dish best served .... not at all.

Used to love him back in the day ... read him religiously.

Now that he's moved on ... well, I heard him on a podcast recently and still like him, but I lack the hours in the day to seek him out.

I used to read the love/hate each week and that was about it. Though, I have a lot of respect for him for leaving ESPN over their decision to go paywall on their FF articles.

Fun fact: Coaches are a big thing in Turkey, and back in the day many coach drivers would write boastful stuff on the back of their bus. One of the most common phrases was, translated into English, "My only competition is Turkish Airlines!"

Luckily, Flixbus is now buying all local coach companies so such barbaric days are now behind us!
