I definitely know that this ain't the pot brownies of my day.
When I was so sick, I didn't smoke at all for about 6-8 months. After the worst had passed, I wanted to give it a try but didn't what to smoke so I got a muffin out of the freezer that my daughter-in-law made for me. I had head that I should be careful so I ate half and after about 45 minutes didn't feel much so I ate the other half. Wow. That's too high.
I will perform a titration to determine the proper dosage. It will be fun.

I could whoop your fat Okie %^$ in the gym! I hear that a lot on the internet, not so much in person. |

Do you ever work out? I think about you sometime when I'm in the gym for 4 hours at a time. It getting to be an obsession.
Right now though, I'm sitting in my father's hospital room watching him try to sleep. He fell (again) and has a compression fracture in a vertabra. They did a procedure called kyphoplasty where they drill a hole in the vertebra and then pump it full of glue. He came through it well but was weak when he got here and got no stronger during the procedure. It sucks watching him get old and knowing that he doesn't have much longer.
The same doctor is going to take a look around in my brain Thursday. I can imagine what he hopes to find in there.

My dad had kyphoplasty three weeks ago. Now he is undergoing beam radiation. In two weeks he starts Chemo.
Nothing like hanging out in hospitals around the holidays.

Sorry to hear it. For my father, the kyphoplasty part was pretty easy. It's the reason that he had to have it that's the problem. My father doesn't have cancer but he has just about worn the tread off of every wheel he's got. I spent all Christmas night sitting up watching him sleep and helping him pee. You haven't really lived life until you've had to hold your old man's dick for him.
He's working hard at rehab now and improving. He can't go home until he's strong enough. There's no motivator like incarceration.
I'm on my way to the hospital now. He has rehab just about all day so I have to catch him at lunch time.
I put my Christmas night vent in here because I couldn't think of anywhere else appropriate, but now that we have fully arrived at old fathers, maybe we should move this discussion out of the "Recently Dead Thread".

I had to hold "the duck" for my grandfather back in the early 90s so I was already prepared for dad.

Despite the pessimism shown by his doctors, my Father finally made it home today!
He's much stronger than he was when he fell and has learned a whole lot about how to keep himself off the floor. It use to be all that took was being able to hold his liquor which he absolutely could do. Now it took almost two months of hard work that nobody could do for him.
But he did it and now I'm filled with pride like he was one of my children.
(A pre-emptive note to Okie: Even you can't spoil this!)

I had my first THC gummies and a cookie a buddy made. The gummies were pretty good, but the cookie kicked my butt.
