NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Especially since it's still got a load of dirt it in!

 

True...but I ain't stacking dimes

Edit - and time is money

 

Paint makes me the welder I ain't

 

you forgot the grinder part...

 

I'd use alot of paint if you can't guess

 

40grit flap disc is a magic eraser

 

They’ll cover up a lot of globs

i prefer stacking dimes though

 

Apparently "Bells palsy".

"Also called: idiopathic facial paralysis.

Sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face.
Bell's palsy may be a reaction to a viral infection. It rarely occurs more than once.

Rare:

• Fewer than 200,000 US cases per year
• Treatable by a medical professional
• Requires a medical diagnosis
• Lab tests or imaging often required
• Short-term: resolves within days to weeks
• Critical: needs emergency care"

When I smile only one side smiles, or raise my eyebrows, only one side raises, and when I close my eyes, only one side fully closes. Doctors really have no clue what causes it specifically, but it's typically a reaction your body has after fighting viral infection, or can be exacerbated by hypertension/stress and a few other things.





I thought I was having a stroke. But at the time I went to the doctor finally the next evenig, it was pretty clear I wasn't having a stroke. If it had been a stroke I'd be brain dead or keeled over before I went to work last Monday morning.

 

Fuck bud if you think you're stroking out don't wait. Stroke centers have great results for recovery now.

Though when you have a stroke the chances of self diagnoses is slim and denying one is a symptom of one too

 

you actually look better... and the “I thought i was having a stoke... I went to the doctor the next evening” you’re a lovable idiot and with that attitude we will be attending your funeral

If I’m not mistaken it’s what “the mountain” from Game of thrones had

 

Yeah, and typically when you have a stroke it's not just one side of the face that experiences paralysis, it's usually the whole side of your body.

I could still talk and was coherent about what was going on around me, and the fact that I could still function normally, but was experiencing facial issues, kept me from actually rushing to confirm I was having a stroke.

At my age now, I should probably be a bit more concerned about issues like a CVA, both my grandfather's died of heart attack, and one had a stroke just a few weeks before his heart attack.

 

This happened to my old neighbor before he moved … he wasn’t old probably in his early 40’s. Anyways it took about 8 months before things got back to normal. He got hit head on while driving Geo Metro commuter on I-5 years before by a guy that committed suicide hauling ass in his Corvette that crossed the median. He got his ribs broke in the wreck. His doctor said it was probably brought on because when they healed the ribs compressed his heart. He had to have surgery again. They split him open and spread his ribs and cleaned up the scar tissue to get the pressure off his heart. It’s been about 10 years since and hasn’t had any problems.

 

Back when I was "college summer help" at a Plywood Mill, one of the other college kids had this. Doctor's said it was probably stress and would resolve itself (never found any signs of viral infection). Took him a few weeks, if not a month, to be fully back to normal. He seemed to be a pretty healthy 19ish year old otherwise.

Hope yours passes soon!! Good Luck!

 

Well son of a gun, today is the first time I can actually drink something without a straw and not end up with half of it down my shirt.

Still a prominent droop, but it seems I've begun to turn the corner.

 

I have my buck selected for this year, second year I’ve seen him, the spike growing out of his forehead was 10” last year

 

Whoops

 

hard to see but it does look really odd.

I got one buck in Idaho that had a weird drop point that curved around in front of his eye.

 

It’s way inside compared to his other side

he’s at least three or so and has this guy running with him

 

Did you blow off one of his legs already
