dno why a casial father daughter dance would creep anyone out

did you just post a 48 minute video

Mothers day:

Takes like 30 seconds to know what it's all about. Just seems like standard religious bull**** that is imposed on young children. But rather than implicitly conveying those morals, they are done explicitly.

I got my mom a wine aerator.

Yep, but as Gus said, it's a documentary so they lay out the abstract early. Very ****ing strange.

Am I the only person who daydreams about making it big, comes up with a pretty good idea....then just skips to the part where I'm Insanely rich?

fwiw, many of these are fake.

Here she is earlier in the week.

Stuck on a tarmac, standing up on a bus with no A/C right outside our plane since we can't get onboard because THERE'S NO CREW ON THE PLANE!! You'd think they would check that before they wheel you out but I guess that's too hard.

you got the joke!

Everything went well with the brain surgeon today.

Confirmed my amateur MRI-interpretation, despite his version having the advantage of some added contrast to highlight the tumor. He thinks we'll want to act no sooner than 3-6 months considering her recovery is still moving along steadily. We'll actually hold off on radiation until either the recovery completes, plateaus, or a new MRI turns up any troublesome growth. Will check in and MRI every 3 months moving forward, and getting referrals to start meeting radiologists and talking approaches/treatment protocols within the next couple of weeks (they could prefer 5 cyber gun treatments over 2 weeks or two within a few days, generally meaning either stronger doses or more drawn out effects). Plenty of time to be thorough.

In the meantime we keep focusing on recovery. Went to her therapies today and was actually pretty surprised at how far along she is physically. The hardest move she can make is to start lying face-down with feet on tip-toes, lift up onto her elbows directly below her shoulders, and plank her entire body straight up past push-up position, then slowly return to the ground. Really wasn't expecting that at all--she'd always struggled to find any position lying face down where her shoulder wasn't in pain and/or danger of popping out of socket.

Next week she starts a new intensive therapy which involves wearing a bungeed rubber suit for 4 hours every day which puts her muscles under constant strain. Something, something, used on cosmonauts after ridiculously long space tours. Should be fun.

Both of us are super-relieved and pleasantly serene ATM. I'm not even particularly bothered that my car blew its turbocharger a couple of days ago, nor that my mother-in-law wants to come for another extended stay.


Das Boot; Sorry about your knee. Good luck!

Das Boot,

As someone that has torn his ACL, here are my tips to a speedy recovery.

1. After surgery, stretch that leg as much as you can stand so as to get full range of motion/extension ASAP.

2. Percocet.

3. Don't miss any physical therapy appointments.

4. Start lifting as soon as you get the doctor's green light. Getting the leg strength back is most of the work.

the heineken can is so elite

I enjoy looking at the reflective spectacles of people photographed, to get an idea what they are looking at. Also, people holding highly-reflective trophies such as the Lombardi.

that might be the most impressive .gif i've ever seen

.

start lifting like a month in at the latest. and lift to get strong. non of the geriatric bs that so many pts will encourage. i dunno, mebbe i just had a bad crew.

Can people really start doing squats 1 month after major knee surgery? Damn.
