I'm going to be really, really loving pissed if I can't get my kidney stones and stent out because they cancel elective surgeries in 1-3 weeks. I'm happy that with vaccinations, a lot more of the "right" people are dying (idiot antivaxxers) nowadays, but it's not 100%. Plus, if the hospitals get crammed (Florida), hella people going to end up dead that had nothing to do with COVID. I'd probably be mentally dead if it wasn't for hospital drugs and physically dead if they didn't have a quick emergency-surgery option. I'm happy to see the mandates coming, it's loving time. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Aug 1, 2021 |

The popular far-righties are already talking up fascism as a method to save democracy from... Democrats, so pretty much.

Please allow for a personal update - after badgering the gently caress out of the urologist and the hospital, I got in to have the kidney stones removed aaaaand no stones. The stent apparently made the room for them to pass, so they poked around, couldn't find anything, and I go for an ultrasound in a month. Meanwhile, the local school boards and poo poo are pissed at the Republican deathcult governors and they appear to be winning it legally. https://twitter.com/BudKennedy/status/1425233916500316162?s=19

As Nero Danced posted:Back in January I had one, after the examination I had to give them a pee test and the fucker came out in the cup. Wish I'd done that before they charged me for everything. I had the follow-up surgery yesterday - the surgeon went in to bust-up/remove the 3mm and 6mm stones that they pushed out of the way two weeks ago. They found nothing - either they passed over the past weeks, or removing the stent at the start dragged out the clots, or the stones moved up into my weird, deformed inverted horseshoe kidneys. Doc said he double-checked every nook and cranny he could up there before pulling the final guide wire and sending me home. Three hours later the borderline hospitalization-level pain restarted and I was Very Not Happy until I got in touch with the doc after a second emergency call. He mentioned all the above and raised the possibility that it could be a simple blood clot on its way out and to pound some ibuprofen. Sure as poo poo, after a pharmacy trip, a smooshed pea-rear end tadpole looking motherfucker popped out. TheWeedNumber posted:What the gently caress man don’t drop that poo poo on me like that! Creepy rear end case of fuckfaceitis in the wild lol. Yeah I'm not going to share aforementioned tadpole looking motherfucker  Also, I believe the net cost to me for all this poo poo is about $100 in pills and sidecosts. HMOs are fine when they cover hospital poo poo and you have a good primary care doctor for referrals. It was funny seeing a $2500 base surgery charge, the plan only approving/paying like $400, then owing nothing. Still waiting for the 3day/2night hospital stay to post which should be the same. How I felt after the clot passed: https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1425332998665248770?s=19 Edit2: just passed another clot, it's like the surgeon turned my kidney into a frog abortion factory facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Aug 11, 2021 |

But my piss smelled bad off/on and it looked like it was coming out carbonated when clear, didn't think anything of it, then a week later the stone jammed everything up. It likely depends on where your back spasms are. I was basically this dude: http://imgur.com/a/s2kMtxO Stones can be detected either via ultrasound or CT scan (mine was without oral contrast, thank gently caress), so unfortunately it's not a cheap thing to check without insurance.

Reminder: this is a vote-a-rama amendment that actually doesn't do anything and won't be in the final bill. It's nonbinding and bullshit, like all vote-a-rama amendments, they're just dumb poo poo for advertisements. Hawley wanted to do ads saying DEMOCRATS WANT TO DEFUND POLICE (see vote 15$72626) and it won't. Vote-a-rama amendments are all bullshit messaging and no more. Milo and POTUS posted:Ffffuck I was hoping I could get away with an xray for imaging. I've been having a shitton of trouble with my ruq for literally years but if it was stones it probably should have materialized by now right Stones are very weird - when I had my kidney stent in, it caused my right testicle to go AAaaaAAaaA at random intervals because the nerves are so tied together. Kidney stones generally cause lower quadrant pain. Basically, you probably need a full doctor workup, as stones make themselves very, very clear and there's usually not much of an in-between. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Aug 11, 2021 |

US Berder Patrol posted:I wonder if Sturgis will compare favorably Under absolutely no circumstances. https://www.thedailybeast.com/sturgis-rally-bikers-in-south-dakota-are-unvaccinated-unmasked-and-coming-for-america Lollapalooza is more or less what we should be shooting for in the future. Get vaccinated, hold events outdoors, if you have a vaccine mandate feel free to pack the venues, and accept that you're in a low-risk environment instead of a no-risk environment. Congrats, vaccines gave you some semblance of life back. Sturgis is the exact opposite. You have a bunch of anti-vax bikers, coming from around the country to one location, where they pack a bunch of indoor venues (mostly bars), and they don't even think there's a risk because it's all a hoax. Congrats, you have a super-spreader event, much like last year (but the numbers varied wildly, from 100 to 260,000) but with an easier-spreading variant.

Similar events were the multiple, outdoor Deer District NBA watch parties for the Milwaukee Bucks and the most they could attribute were around ~500 cases with 100K people and a lot of confounders. Even the city health commissioner wasn't really that concerned about it: https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/us/milwaukee-bucks-district-covid-19-cases/index.html and the more pessimistic WaPo article mentioned the at-home watch parties and bar events were also likely a factor https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/08/05/milwaukee-bucks-superspreader-covid/ I have a shitload of shows coming up, a mix of indoor/outdoor, with most of the indoor stuff at places requiring vaccination. I'm going to wear a mask inside the whole time, while loading up on at-home COVID tests for before/after to make sure I don't spread an asymptomatic case or something. I'm probably in most of the vaccinated majority, really loving pissed off that we're doing most of this because unvaccinated people just won't get the drat shot because of whatever they read on facebook.

It's kind of a Narrative Time, when posters are posting and the Takes are hot, but everyone on the ground is concerned with saving their own lives in the limited time available.
