Hey Human, I've been here, just lurking. Have I missed any fun? Pinto's5150 ^Talk 18:06, 15 May 2008 (EDT)

Reduced Block time

That wandal has wandalised several times in the past few days (Grawp, Hagger etc) - Block time should have been extended!   ^Contribs_Talk 18:36, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

re: Welcome, and err.... what?

I have user pages on a fairly large number of wikis and I like to keep track of the statistics for each wiki to see which ones are growing, and which ones are going stagnant. BlankVerse 21:12, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

Ah, ok, just was curious, thanks for the clarification. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 21:27, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

I echo this sentiment, on behalf of myself and the whole of the Mowse Kingdom. Pink_{(Astronomy Domine)} 17:38, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Sorry to hear that Pinto. My wife was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the upper arm about five years ago, the tumour was growing in the bone. She had radio, loads of chemo and a titanium prosthesis to replace the bone followed by a stem cell transplant when the cancer recurred. Fortunately the stem cell transplant seemed to do the trick as she's been clear for over three years now. It's a long hard slog and I hope you make it safely through. Modern medicine can do wonders, so I'll refrain from resorting to classroom prayer and just say "all the best".

Better, today's the first day I've really had any strength what so ever since friday. That chemo really can take it out of a person. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 00:19, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Hey, Pinto, I didn't know about your trouble. Best wishes from a fellow sufferer - mine was cut out but the follow up chemo's been nasty. As a medic you're probably worse off than us lay people - ignorance is, if not bliss, at least not terrifying. Best of luck.

(ec) I'm permanently tired - or should I say lacking in energy. In bed for hours & then can't sleep - and I've just been in & out of hospital with a kidney crash.   ^Contribs_Talk 00:24, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

PS, I hope that when it's my turn, someday, I have a bunch of screwballs like you folks to come play with. ħuman 00:26, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Strangely enuff, I regard everyone on here as my friends & it is nice playing in our mutual sandpit (is that the right word for the US?)   ^Contribs_Talk 00:32, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

While much of the US is a sandpit, some of it is wheat and corn fields, and some is a bit Valish, even a tiny bit Cym Reagy. Too damn cold in winter, though, and not wet enough ;) And, yeah, no matter what sparks may be flying, I find it easy to think of all on here as my friends, too. ħuman 00:37, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

how's things, Pinto? (interested party) (with cheese)_{talk to Toast} 04:58, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Eh, I've been alot better, but things are going well, relatively. Had a surgery to remove the tumor (and subsequently my entire left humerus) about three weeks ago, so that mixed with chemo equals blah. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 05:35, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Just getting over first batch of chemo. Confined to bed or stagger to settee - surgery not as radical as yours & now an age ago. All sympathies with you - I think of you often. (with cheese)_{talk to Toast} 05:42, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Just out of curiosity, and if you don't mind my asking, what type of chemo? Also, despite the odd intricacies of the internet, thank you, that means alot. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 05:51, 12 January 2009 (EST)

After surgery adjuvant chemotherapy (which apparently just means "after surgery") consisting of 2 batches of 3 days in hospital getting: carboplatin and paclitaxel with, possibly, more to come. The benefit of not having to bother about graying. or indeed any, hair is the only compensation. :) (with cheese)_{talk to Toast} 06:07, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Are you done with chemo after that? If so great. My doctors are following a similar path, only lengthier. Not sure about carboplatin or the other one, but I can tell you that cisplatin is murder. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 06:12, 12 January 2009 (EST)

(Don't think you have the equipment to have ovarian C) There's supposed to be 6 sessions, but by pure chance I had a full physical examination & it was caught very early, so the hope is that it's been entirely got & I might get away with a total of 4. I'm weak as a kitten and have to be careful re: bruising & stuff - occasional vomiting (sorry!) & diarrhoea (sory again!). Also very short tempered, but that's just me. :) (with cheese)_{talk to Toast} 06:20, 12 January 2009 (EST)

And you're correct, I don't. Also, I'm envious, I was sentenced to 20 sessions. Pinto's5150 ^Talk 06:28, 12 January 2009 (EST)

no - just don't like the "C" word You poor sod! If it's anything like mine, a cannula in the back of the hand followed by injection of liquid fire for three hours. They tell me to keep my strength up by eating well, but food tastes rather bland & hard things (like toast :)) can be painful. For about a week after chemo I have to avoid hard food so I'm on some stuff called Complan which is rather like tasteless & very thick milk shake. I used to love my food! Joints ache a bit too. otherwise no worries. (with cheese)_{talk to Toast} 06:37, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Cripes Pinto, I must have missed your withdrawal for med reasons. My missus had mulitiple myeloma and the bone out of most of her upper left arm. I hope you're recuperating OK. It's five years now since she was diagnosed and she's doing well after having had radio, chemo and a stem-cell transplant (for a while she used to stink of sweetcorn, evidently a side effect of the stuff they keep the stem cells in). Hope you make a speedy recovery. BTW my wife's hair grew back with much less grey. Генгис^{You have the right to be offended; and I have the right to offend you.} 08:51, 12 January 2009 (EST)

Pretty good really. I'm down to my last treatment, and then I'm done with chemo and only have physical therapy left to go through. How have you been lately? Pinto's5150 ^Talk 00:04, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Good to hear - it's a bugger that chemo. Of course, I hadn't thought, you'll need some physio - hard work. I'm pretty good, thanks. Clapping weight on - hit ^{(quickly converts)}101 pounds t'other day - doesn't sound much but @ 5'1" it's quite heavy. Totally done (knocks woods & crosses fingers) with chemo due to adverse reaction. Means more frequent check ups to keep tabs on it & they could put a permanent tap in for the blood sampling. Hair coming back fast - itchy. Oh and taste is returning has returned - totally vanished on chemo. Still on loads of medication, of course but nothing too arduous. Being a) chronic invalid (!) & b) over 65; I get the medication free - apparently I'm costing the NHS about £350/week but the chemo was about £1,000/session. All the best, buddy. ^{This message brought to you by: respond}_and honey 00:40, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Toast, did you convert from stone or kg? Aside: I had for many years a bathroom scale inherited from my parents, which of course was marked in stone. So hapless female visitors would have to ask me "what is seven plus three small lines?", utterly destroying their privacy. Anyway, I hope you both get fully better and such. Goatspeed! ħuman 02:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

46kg - about 7st 3lb. (don't think anyone here uses stones/lb here any more although I remember the "7 stone weakling" Charles Atlas Ads) My target was 45kg (99.208lb), so I'm officially overweight! ^{This message brought to you by: respond}_and honey 21:56, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
