Dude, these are two 20-30k neighboring towns in nowheresville, IN. It's amazing that two of us in this thread (to the extent I am "in" it) are from there.Holy crap!!
Per a Zoom chat with some of the guys this evening, we can blame it on the scotch.Dude, these are two 20-30k neighboring towns in nowheresville, IN. It's amazing that two of us in this thread (to the extent I am "in" it) are from there.
Sorry I missed you guys on Zoom but at 8pm here I'm already asleep.Harris said:Sorry I missed you guys on Zoom but at 3am here the Mrs. likely wouldn't appreciate me drunkenly talking to the computer while she's trying to sleep.
Small world, neighbor! I'm in Indianapolis now. All my family is still in the area. I visit semi-regularly. I'd imagine odds are decent we have some shared acquaintances, at the very least.krista4 said:Holy crap. I'm from New Albany.
Sorry. Next one. Storms were pretty intense for awhile, just hung out with the family while they blew through and then went to bed.gianmarco said:And you ####ers that didn't show up? You're ####ers.
So, I'd like to thank @gruecd for putting together that happy hour. And I'd like to thank @JShare87 for suggesting I drink scotch. So, after quietly putting a few of those down (or maybe not so quietly as you were keeping count better than me), everyone left and there I am, in a happy hour state except by then my wife was in bed. So, with some solid decision making I decided to fire up Pokerstars to see if anyone was still playing from the FBG tournament which they weren't so I just decided to join a stupid play chip tournament that I had no idea how large it was and, hours later at around 3am, after coming in 4th place, I realized that was a stupid idea and it was all thanks to the happy hour.JShare87 said:Best line of the meeting:
@gruecd: I wish I had a race to look forward to.
@gianmarco: You have a race mother######! (Referring to our virtual race)
This was after our Hero’s 4th scotch. Enjoyed seeing your faces, have a goodnight fellas.
#TeamJuxtabunchofsnowflakeswhoneedlotsofsleep would have known this if they had been there.
How are you even alive right now? No sleep the night before, 3 gallons of scotch, went to bed at 4. It wouldn’t be possible for me to function in that state.P.S. -- My 7 year old has a Zoom meeting this morning with her 1st grade classroom. If you'd like, I can see if I can get you guys in since it seems to be a better time for you guys. They drink juice and eat fruit and stuff, so probably more to your liking, pansies.

As I'm "homeschooling now", this is probably why my kids are hoping for a new teacher next year.How are you even alive right now? No sleep the night before, 3 gallons of scotch, went to bed at 4. It wouldn’t be possible for me to function in that state.
Will she be conferencing in from the wood paneled master bathroom suite as well?P.S. -- My 7 year old has a Zoom meeting this morning with her 1st grade classroom.

Sorry I missed you guys on Zoom but my work day yesterday ended up being 8-9:30, 11-11:12, 1-3:30, 5:30-5:37, 8-11. That may have been the most difficult WFH day since #1.Sorry I missed you guys on Zoom but at 8pm here I'm already asleep.![]()
But I see the get #TeamGrue injured and drunk plan is working beautifully.#TeamGrue won last night, too. #TeamJuxtabunchofsnowflakeswhoneedlotsofsleep would have known this if they had been there.
Yes.Will she be conferencing in from the wood paneled master bathroom suite as well?
Need our pal the doc to wake up from his nap and translate. Sounds like flaps are bad and now you have less flaps which is good. But the stuff that the flaps are made of is overall not great.Just got back from my post-op, not with the Doc, but I got a report of his findings. Buckle up, fellas....
The report states:
In the patellofermoral joint, there was degenerative changes of the patella and unstable flaps of cartridge were debriefed with a shaver. The trochlea demonstrates grade 4 (the highest FML) changes diffusely with some unstable flaps and these flaps were removed with a shaver. There were several loose cartilaginous bodies in the suprapatellar pouch and these were removed with a shaver.
In the anterior interval of the knee, there was extensive scarring and the adhesions were lysed in the anterior interval of the knee. The medial and lateral gutters also showed quite a bit of scarring as well as the suprapatellar pouch and these adhesions were lysed with an arthroscopic shaver. The ACL graft (had ACL surgery about 10 years ago) was intact, however, degenerative appearing. The medial compartment demonstrated high-grade chondral loss of the medial femoral condyle and evidence of a prior medial meniscectomy.
Any loose and unstable flaps of cartridge from the medial femoral condyle were debrided. The lateral femoral condyle demonstrated also areas of high-grade chondromalacia and the lateral femoral condyle was debrided of any unstable flaps of cartridge with a shaver. The lateral meniscus demonstrated no evidence of unstable meniscal tear (seems to be a positive).
If anyone in here has a clue what any of this means, I’m all ears. Sounds like this doc has seen some better knees than mine.
You probably should look into Dollar Shave Club is all I got out of that.Just got back from my post-op, not with the Doc, but I got a report of his findings. Buckle up, fellas....

lol@nap. Which team do you think I'm on?Need our pal the doc to wake up from his nap and translate. Sounds like flaps are bad and now you have less flaps which is good. But the stuff that the flaps are made of is overall not great.
Sounds like the kneecap (patella) is degenerating (do kneecaps go bad?). The patella sits on the trochlea, per my expert viewing of a diagram, and you had unstable connective stuff that was better off being removed. Same kind of issue for that 'medial femoral condyle'...that seems to help connect the parts together, and that's degrading as well and needed to be cleaned up. Net result is he cleaned out the ineffective crud, but as you know, without the buffering crud, you're getting down to bone on bone. Good news, as you note, is the meniscus seems OK.Just got back from my post-op, not with the Doc, but I got a report of his findings. Buckle up, fellas....

I'm bummed (as we all are) that you've got to deal with this, GB.No idea.Just got back from my post-op, not with the Doc, but I got a report of his findings. Buckle up, fellas....

Sometimes you gotta lay your nuts on the table.She was asking about your knee.
Would you believe that I don't know how to play?Btw, if any of you guys like playing poker, we could get a game together (weekly?) with each other. It's easy enough to set up on Pokerstars and use the play chips there. Can play for fun or can do like $10 or $20 or whatever if people prefer. Can drink/Zoom while we play for added excitement.
Say what?Would you believe that I don't know how to play?![]()
Add it to the list of things that I'd like to learn how to do along with learning Polish, learning to play guitar, learn how to finish a basement....
