yummmmm yummmm yummmmm …. Another great QOL foodie post brother. Pasta linguine w/ seafood is probably on top of my favorites list. This spurs me on to make a QOL foodie post today as well.

Rock on bruddha. Great tastes.

😁😁😁

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Mahalo Bruddah,

After you posted your pasta dish with Mizithra cheese, my lil old brain got stimulated

Yes, seafood pasta is a Classic Combo and it was really tasty too. Have enough for Dinner tonight. I had leftover Piquillo peppers from the Paella and was doin the Red/Green Christmas theme thingie

Fight on, Gourmand On, QoL on

I've gained 10 lbs just seeing these delicious-looking gourmet meals! 👨‍🍳🥘🦀🦞🍤🍷

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

Mahalo my Sista, I'm still tryna do QoL posts instead of a"Woe is me" AKA "F' my Life" 😂 ones.

Pavlovian response? Maybe Insulin release too :-).

Lol, this is the weight gain time of year anyways.

Cooking and consuming is one of the joie de vivre and I hope to be able to do both for many years.

Fight on, Feast on, Floss on

Randy

Set scales back 10 lbs

[siouxbee19 in reply to dockam]

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

Good morning from CA, weight gain during Winter is just more insulation :

And do you remember this classic:

[Kaliber in reply to dockam]

omg yayahahahaya yayahahahaya …. tHAT is funny. My worse fears of a dental visit. Worse, I come out of anesthesia in my violent biker personality too. I have myself strapped in to protect everyone there, when I have anesthesia now, if you know what I mean. I’ve had a couple “ experiences “ that blew one dentist’s mind yayahahahaya. Scared the whole office, thankfully I did minimal damage and didn’t hurt anyone very much. It’s an instinctual thing, dunno know why I do that.

❤️❤️❤️

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Oh dang Bruddah, that's Crazy that you had those "experiences" . That would Freak out me and my staff too😂

Fight on, Floss on

Randy

[Kaliber in reply to dockam]

lol

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

This you Brother: reactiongifs.com/hulking-out/

[siouxbee19 in reply to Kaliber]

What is it about anesthesia that turns some people into monsters? It used to not bother me, but now I become The Hulk/Terminator X!!👹

[Kaliber in reply to siouxbee19]

yea I dunno … I think I like to be in control of my conscious state at all times, when that’s taken away… my fight reflex surfaces. Most people meet intense situations, wisely, by stepping back …. I’m the opposite, I meet “ intense “ or dangerous situations with aggression. Always been that way. I have to be careful n life that way. Sounds like we have that in common.

❤️❤️❤️

[siouxbee19 in reply to Kaliber]

My problem is I don't like being rushed, never have. If I am allowed to wake up from anesthesia on my time, I'm usually ok. Nowadays, though, they rush you in and out like it's McDonald's! How am I supposed to get dressed and walk, when I can't even talk or think correctly? It's like the quote "Let sleeping bears lie!" Not my finest trait, but hey...🕊️🙏❤️🕯️

[Kaliber in reply to siouxbee19]

yayahahahaya, I’ll try to remember that if we ever meet up yayahahahaya. Yikes …. 😂😂😂😂

[siouxbee19 in reply to Kaliber]

Are you an anesthesiologist by the way? 😂😂😂

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

In 2015 I was put out twice to insert stents into both ureters, L one was being collapsed by the PCa in the lymph nodes. Both times they moved me to a room where my driver and I chilled until RNs thought I was okay to leave.

I think I'm having GA for the 12/23 Biopsy and I hope they don't try and rush me outta there

Randy

[siouxbee19 in reply to dockam]

I certainly hope they don't rush you @ dockam and it all goes well!

I think, too, it depends on the hospital as well? Two large hospitals about an hour from me, my preference rushes, the other took more time after surgery and I was able to wake up better and didn't have that reaction. Maybe I should switch hospitals?

Interesting article, thanks for sharing!

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

Yea, different Hospitals prolly have different policies, but there may be a liability for them if you had something bad happen cuz they released you too soon.

Lol, umm both GA and alcohol are depressants, so kinda No Bueno to mix them together

I know that you're on here for hubby, but you mentioned in Profile that you had your own issues. Are you doing okay?

My best to you both,

Fight on and Be Well

Randy

[siouxbee19 in reply to dockam]

Thank you for asking, Randy! Yes, I have a ton of issues, but I'm fine. Hubby is holding steady! Thankful for family, friends, music, laughter, my dogs and cats, each day is a gift! 😁🙏🕊️❤️🕯️

(I edited my above post, didn't want any confusion over my dry attempt at humor!) 😂

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

Okay Wonderful, your life is filled with very uplifting things.

I'm alone with my lil kitty Kuuipo. All 5 kids out on their own, ex is down South.

Have my practice to keep me going and it actually lifts my mood esp with patients who've been with us like 20 years. I do meet some for Weekend beers too, but not after GA

So, cooking, eating, hiking and my Newsfeed is all I have 😂💙 oh and Cooking Shows on Cable LOL

Fight on, Love on, Live on, and Laugh on

Randy

[siouxbee19 in reply to dockam]

It sounds full, rewarding, and filled with love...thank you for sharing a little slice (pun intended) of it with us, through your pictures and posts! 💙

[dockam in reply to siouxbee19]

You're welcome and My Pleasure, Spreading Aloha/Making Ripples aka RandyRipples

I'm always up for sharing a Slice of Veggie Pizza on Whole Wheat 😜

Dunno if you saw my latest Ventura post from a couple of weeks ago, more Food Porn, beer, and songs there too😂

not sure why this wonderful recipe is on this site, but linguine alle vongole is one of the gods' great gifts to us all!

[dockam in reply to jimreilly]

A few of us on here are posting QoL Quality of Life things to show that we are more than just PCa victims, we are Living Life as Best that we can, before we can't.

So, Trip pix, food porn, I've even posted our lil town's Christmas parade pix, and cards from my dental patients.

Fight on, Live on, QoL on - to the Max

Randty

[Kaliber in reply to jimreilly]

on this site , some of us croakers are trying to uplift the doom and gloom in the group with quality of life - lifestyle posts. Besides the top notch technical medical knowledge here, and all the “ my Johnny passed last night “ , “ I’ve run out of options “ , “ I’m entering hospice “ , “ my psa just climbed to xxx “…. the grieving people needing a understanding helping hand …….. .

some here are encouraging the other croakers to get up and get out and have QOL experiences with loved ones , family and friends. Besides enriching the lives of croakers themselves , it uplifts their close families as well. Less tears from yourself or the wife when both of you are at a resort or just eating a stunning meal quietly together in a local restaurant or at home. It’s hard to be too depressed when you are actually having some food fun or resort fun. There is more than great , first rate, technical medical knowledge and support for grieving family members, and Comadre between croakers ….. this is intended to be uplifting QOL support as well.

That’s why you see the recipes and foodie fun here.

Just say’in

❤️❤️❤️

[dockam in reply to Kaliber]

Right on Brother, this is how we do it 💙
