Watched the first episode of Wu Assassins on Netflix. They really didn't spend much on this at all. Atleast Iko Uwais gets to practice his english and do martial arts for 10 episodes.

Ouch, my extreme sympathies.  

 

At least it isn't arthritis, like they originally thought!  Small blessing, I realize.

Guess @AndyLL is just gonna have to be the Pamper In Chief for the next couple of months.

 

@AndyLL has been pampering me since it happened.  I can’t drive or do much because of the boot.  Biggest difference is I get milkshakes after surgery and he makes them great!

They're not getting rid of the violent video games. They are just removing some display signs.

There is already a inflammation?

Swollen areas?
 

I'd in no way go to a concert, even if its the Stones.

 

Sounds strange to me to be honest, I hope she is a really good doctor.

 

Fingers crossed its not a bone chip or a blocked nerve or something like that - in addition to other injuries - that's causing the inflammation.

 

I add a few examples that might be involved too - out of what had happened to myself and a relative of mine:
 

  Reveal hidden contents

My late mother-in-law once had for literally months inflammation problems with daily visits in a hospital (per doctors orders) bcs they didn't find a very small fingernail chip that ended within her injured finger.

We did cut it open after nearly 2 months on her instance and found it (very small cut, sounds extreme but it was not). Fingers diameter was at that time already altered for good to nearly the double. She did not die based on that, lived for ~ 20years after that.

Another doctor told her later she was in danger to get ~ added a sepsis and worse.

The only thing they did at the hospital was to reopen a bit and clean it with peroxide. Not a fun thing. Each and every day, including Sundays. No one used their brains and said huh... so long... there has to be something. She always told there is something in it, she could feel it a little bit.

Imagine a tip of a very fine needle as a size and form comparison, less than 1/4"

 

I myself nearly died based on mistakes doctor's ~ helpers did - twice

1x from beginning necrosis: the helper forced a movement that was not meant to be with that kind of angles for an x-ray - the then blocked nerve started to 'die' and such, at the time someone finally (days!) realised that I already had fever, the complete shoulder was very red, swollen and hot. Hurt like %$&§.

A specialist got the nerve to de-clamp (term?), without operation. Did hurt too, arm moved for ~ 15 minutes rather wildly - on its own. Felt very strange at first, many strange/wrong informations the arm send to my brain.

2 hours later I started to use it again.

 

1x a nurse pulled too early a drainage tube after an operation (without doctors order), I was nearly 6 weeks in a hospital for an appendix removal bcs of her mistake. Also lots of fever, swollen stomach... (was still a teen then, means long ago) = again it was something still inside, that should have been not, and too warm...

Both times the doctors screamed at their people. Loud and long.

edit to add: nearly forgot - that appendix operation was also twice, as they overdosed me with a trial anaesthesia thing (mother signed without reading), that never got a final approval

Not telling this to produce fear, its more about doctors seemingly sometimes too strongly belief into their x-rays, what in average means what, what helpers/nurses tell... and miss as such sometimes something, especially if its not that common.

In case your instinct tells your something, trust in yourself too, ask another doctor, whatever it takes.

 

 

I love love love my doctor.  Her office did my other foot after I broke it at Disneyworld three years ago.  Yep, it has been swollen since day one June 23.  I am going to the stones concert.  I can’t make it worse!

Disney’s likely use for Blue Sky, the company behind the Ice Age and Rio franchises, will be to feed content to the company’s streaming service, Disney+, which launches in November.

It would suck if they weren't going to make theatrical features anymore.

I never said I like Trump. I just think TL sounds like just as much of an idiot there.

 

Re: Trump, all I'll say is this: I loathe Trump the person and anyone like him. However, I like Trump's politics (not every single policy, mind you, just his general platform). He's not a globalist and that's refreshing, among other things. I'd take him over our PM in Canada in a heartbeat. He's worse.

They just now have the chance to prove themselves, Spies in Disguise hasn't even come out yet, Nimona is slated for release in Sept. 2021 (and could be a game changer if the source material is honored), and there is already talk of the studio being relegated to Disney+. Tragic.

The report saying Spies' budget is ballooning is concerning. Blue Sky's generally kept their budgets in good check.

@SLAM!, as a fellow conservative, what's your take on Trump?
