Questions for Callaway

[renaeden]

Callaway, how often do you masturbate? And in what way do you masturbate?

My God, who would answer that question? 

No one!

I am glad you don't like white lacquered furniture, Callaway. I think it is awful!

My sister had the white lacquered furniture with the gold painted trim. It doesn't even make good firewood!!

How do you know?

Callaway, I have been meaning to ask for ages - how is your ankle going? I hope it is getting better.

It's getting better, but slowly.

I have been doing physical therapy to make it stronger and I can walk without a cane now and without much of a limp unless I walk a lot.

good.

Glad to hear.

I have a question. I have a growth on my thyroid. A few not so nice side effects. Sleeping pattern screwed, weight loss, no energy, run down....bah, blah, blah.
It is due to this adenoma thing secreting hormones or whatever.
I know it is treatable but I just don't know how?

[renaeden]

They would give you some sort of medication wouldn't they? What about removing the growth? Is it getting bigger?

Callaway, I am glad to know that you are getting better, that has taken ages!

I'm surprised the doctor who delivered the news didn't then recommend a treatment plan. CALL HIM BACK!

Well, first I think they would give you a tracer with radioactive iodine and scan it to see if it takes up more or less iodine than the surounding thyroid tissue.  If it takes up more, then it's definitely not malignant.  If it takes up less, then there is a 10% chance that it may be malignant.  If it takes up more radioactive iodine, they might try giving you a little more radioactive iodine to see if that would get rid of enough of the adenoma to help your symptoms of an overactive thyroid.  If it takes up less and is causing you problems or if the radioactive iodine treatment doesn't help, then they might consider surgery to remove the adenoma.

I think another possible treatment in some cases is to give you thyroid hormone, which seems counterintuitive if your thyroid is already overactive, but in some cases it suppresses the activity of your thyroid.

That's good to hear about the ankle.

Thanks.

How's your wrist doing now?

[Diesel]

Better.

Still not what it was.....never will be really.......range of motion is the biggest issue. For example I can't do flat handed push-ups.
I have most of my strength back and started lifting weights again few weeks ago but sprained something in my wrist/fore arm that hasn't been used in quite a while.

Now I have to wait some more while it heals.

[Callaway]

Sorry you sprained something lifting weights.

Did you do a lot of PT to try to get back your range of motion in your wrist?

With PT, I had regained pretty much my whole range of motion before I had the ankle surgery, but now after the surgery I probably won't ever get it back to being as flexible as the other one because one of the things I had done was a modified Brostrom-Gould to fix the torn ligament that hadn't healed.  It still hurts when I use it, but not as much as it did before surgery.

[Diesel]

I had 3 months of PT and my insurance company decided that what I gained back was enough.
I kinda slacked off on the self performed home PT afterwords.
