There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Bub,
Looking at that picture, you'd think I was auditioning for Kabuki theatre or something...
Actually those look like the before and after pictures. Caption to the after shot reads "OK, who put chili in the inhaler?!"
Good to see that positive attitude.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be flying out to Minnesota on Friday, February 22nd for my next round of treatment at Hold the Mayo Clinic. I'll be spending much of the time in Western Wisconsin, staying in New Richmond, WI for much of this upcoming weekend, through Tuesday, February 26th.
I will be in Rochester, MN from Tuesday evening (02/26) into Saturday morning. (03/01) The testing day will be the 27th of February, and the surgery day will be February 28th, 2018.
I will return to New Richmond, WI on Saturday, March 2nd for a much briefer stay through most of March 3rd before returning home on March 4th.

Chris,
I take it in stride. I've been dealing with health issues literally since birth, and have been defying the odds all my life. My parents were told I'd be lucky to make it to the age of five, and that institutionalizing me would be my best chance. My parents, specifically my mother, told the doctor to rot in hell. She got me the help I needed, and I then went on to graduate from high school, with summa cum laude honors from college, then obtained one master's degree and am working on a second, found a wonderful girl, married her, and have four children. I also took care of two sick parents, one of whom I was rewarded for by renewed health following a kidney transplant.
I have little in the way of regret, and love what I do, despite the health issues and the toll it takes on me. My brain is the most powerful tool I have that has never been affected by the rest of my body. I made a vow to myself and my wife that I will never let my physical limitations drown out my ambition until I literally have no other choice.
The only thing I don't know is to what extent these problems will shorten my life span, and I have prepared for that as best I can with financial security for my family, and my children and wife are aware that my physical problems mean that I never can be certain when I'll go tits up. All I can do is live life the best I can until the day I can return this body to sender.
There are many people in my situation who would have given up, but I went the other way; it turned me into a resilient, stubborn ***. Sometimes it can be a detriment, as Erica has said to me more than once, but it's also made me incredibly determined to prove my doubters wrong, and I know it has inspired both my wife and my children to firmly believe what I've said many times; the only person holding you back is yourself.

Hoping you have a long and happy life my friend. You'll get through this and come out grinning like a possum with a sweet potato...
