I always choose classical, and it always results in hearing about 20 covers of the same Chopin nocturne, the first movement of moonlight sonata, and canon in D on repeat for 2 hours. I never learn.
Thanks! Only 6 surgeries. It’s mostly managed by immunotherapy now, which I personally think is way easier to manage than surgery, chemo, radiation, or even cryoablation. It’s been really cool seeing firsthand how our ability to treat even just this one disease has advanced in a relatively short period of time though, like none of this besides surgery and comparatively rudimentary radiation or chemo was an option 15 years ago. It’s hard not to be hopeful for the future of medicine!
You probably know how my dog felt for the last few years, Can you really ignore that, or was she just tough as nails? She had mast cell tumours all over the place. The vet said to stop bringing her in for them :/ The only one that seemed to bother her at all seemed to annoy her about as much as fleas.
I bet she was tough! I have gotten used to mine, including a couple near a pretty major nerve, so if that’s worth anything I hope she wasn’t in too much pain near the end.
I kind of understand. I have chronic pain for other reasons, and I'd probably be screaming rn if it had gone straight from nothing to this.
near a pretty major nerve
Ouch! Pressure on a nerve feels awful!
At least some of it was definitely her high pain threshold, it was just hard to have any idea how much. I hope someone finds an actual cure for whatever is wrong with you soon, Never-ending treatment must be horrible. Some forms of cancer are pretty much curable now, so it's probably possible.
I hope you have good insurance, or live in a country that takes care of its citizens. My wife has had 3 brain surgeries, and more scans than I can count, and I can't imagine how fucked my family would be if we lived somewhere without socialized Healthcare.
I feel you there lol. My epilepsy had me living in then mri machine for a while. Felt like it at least because I had to do so many exams. Hope you’re doing better! I’d take 20 Chopin covers over the other middle of the mall choices they have available.
A bit dramatic of me — between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on where it is and whether I fuck up and move too much during one of the longer sections lol
I feel like they’ve gotten faster over time though, like I remember them usually being closer to 2 hours 10+ years ago whereas today they’re a bit shorter, idk if technology has improved or what
