Ok. Quick medical question anti-VEGF Injections. Dangerous or no?
Asking for a friend...

I just joined Anti-Veg. Playing bass, of course.

 

[Wonderer67]

It's that or blind Rj.

Sorry to hear that.

My mom had wet and dry AMD. I took her for Avastin injections every 2-3 months.

It was painful to watch, but they numbed the eye and her eye doc was amazing.

After the rest of the day off and resting she was good to go for another few months.

She read The NY Times every single day. She wood proofread it (and write letters outlining any mistakes) underline things she thought were important. She would write letters to the editor.

Reading the paper each day gave her joy and purpose. She got the paper delivered every day till she died.

@Oldermom935

My wife has a chronic illness
It's rare and not well known...and will not have a good outcome in the long run.
I don't like to talk about it. I'm surprised I even mentioned it here. I'm not looking for sympathy, just a FYI for you.

If the clientele is 50+ then why be open all night? I’m ready to be in bed by ten these days lol

Well us old folk occasionally get insomnia or have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

I don’t think it makes it better but it does stave off the degeneration.

Sleep weasels beckon.

I’m impressed! But I like my beauty sleep too well!!

I end up in bed about now too. But I tend to fall asleep watching tv, wake up to pee and watching something else. A vicious cycle, but eventually I get the sleep I need.

Had to get mechanics on the way to replace a Powerpack (EMD cylinder, head, liner and piston)

Hmm... valid and yet...
Wait a minute... doesn't your rig run 2 shifts (day & night)? What was your counterpart doing if it was your turn to sleep?

Sounds like important engine-y stuff

my first thought, too

The skies turned dark around 430 so I headed home, jumped in the pool and then enjoyed a nice thunderstorm.

Naked + Pool + Thunderstorm =
hope to see you tomorrow

You must have a hotter a**

fixed it

Ok. Quick medical question anti-VEGF Injections. Dangerous or no?
Asking for a friend...

retired coworker's mom had shots for MAC-D. She had both wet and dry. I never got lots of details but don't recall anything negative. They helped to slow the progression. She was in her mid-80s at the time.

Electro-Motive Diesel, 2-stroke engines.
Mine are 645s, 16 cylinder...

That engine's probably bigger than my entire car
similar type?:

I'm just that damned good.

Accessibility always ups the difficulty score. Well done being on top of that one.

I just joined Anti-Veg. Playing bass, of course.

I read that too fast... Anti-Veg not Anti-Vag
Bad Likes, no

Welcome, newcomers... I think we have a couple new faces in the café? Here's our standard greeting penned by our own Missk:

There looks to be some new folks in the group...

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

Thanks

And now... I'm off for an hour of PT before winding down for the night.
Sweet Dreams all...

It simply goes with the territory of being chief engineer on a boat... technically, it puts me as second in command, fortunately I have a great crew and we just work as equals...

Yes Ma'am... they're GREAT engines!... locomotives use them also.

Thanks!
If I'm not mistaken, my friend/veterinarian is currently taking them with good results.

Thanks
