Someone logged into Bill's account and made a couple of posts! Maybe they could update us on Bill's condition??? 🤔

One of the hardest things we have to do. Remember her well Shane!

That's a big NOPE! for me!

😁

Are you sure you're not accaabbaac? 🤔 😜

That looks like a poorly trained Chinese fighting club! 😆

Ouch!

Reminds me of this old one:

Now I have a song going through my head... "Baaad on the pun!" 😆

We all think it, Paulo says it! 😁

Well, true, I guess... Bill is the actual patient (and probably in extreme torture since I doubt he's getting any becan down that feeding tube!). 😉

Queen of India? 🤣

Your porn name is the Polish Sausage, ya? 🤣

*Waits patiently for an update report with, hopefully, good news...* 😷

Fixed! 😁 (However, to be fair, I originally stole it way back in 2006 and last posted it in 2009... The PROOF! 😜 )

More than excessive alcohol? Wow.

Or neutered?🤔

That's interesting about the Tylenol. It seems to be about the only lower-level pain relief medical personnel will give you, yet I've heard from a few others (including my Mom) that it doesn't do anything for them.

She may not be Kylie, but... Wow!

BTW - My math teacher tried to say I was just average, but she was just being mean! 😜

Being a math guy, I've always loved those jokes. Here, have the meme!

Not too surprising! They say it's harder to get wood at your age. 😆😜

*Disclaimer!* I am NOT a pharmacist (the actual profession that studies drugs and their interactions) and anything I say that is misconstrued as medical advice is all on you!* 😉 That said, my father was one of the first to be put on Gabapentin (aka Neurontin) when it was first being tried for other reasons back in the 1990's (my father had a complex case of temporal lobe epilepsy and manic depression). It was during this time that my mother underwent major cancer surgery and massive chemotherapy (she was one of only two people to survive the level and type of cancer she had for that year throughout the entire United States). However, all that chemo torched her nerve endings and my father's doctor couldn't stop extolling the virtues of Gabapentin to aid neuropathy. At the time, there were no reports of any negative side-effects, so she ended up on the maximum dose (seven pills a day) for 20 years! So, as part of trying to get all of her meds reduced about two years ago (she's 91 now), I read a lot of studies and reports, including several on Gabapentin. So, here's the upshot: Compared to the vast majority of drugs out there, Gabapentin is still one of the most useful and safest. The dementia issues all occurred in patients who took large dosages over long periods of time and, as my mother is evidence to, it still doesn't affect everyone. From everything I've heard and read, it really works great for neuropathy, but the key is to slowly reduce the dosage as the nerve endings repair. My suggestion to you is to try and find the reports and keep questioning your doctors. It might help you in the short term! Side-note: My mom is now in long term care as of late last month after a few E.R. visits, a hospital stay and a lot of attempted rehab starting in early November. One upshot of this is that they've removed a lot of grains and sugar from her diet and she just dropped below the supposed diabetic line for the first time in decades. She's never been far above, but she also wouldn't stop eating cheap waffles with pure sugar syrup for breakfast everyday either! Remember, there isn't much of anything with your body that YOU can't fix! Let's just say I have far less respect for medical doctors than I used to and a lot of evidence (including personal) about what's really possible. Good luck! 🙂👍
