What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Beat up old man tonight John! I have an appointment with the Nephrologist next week, more blood work coming. Getting bugged by my doctor up in Cleveland at the Transplant Institute in Cleveland since they got wind of it. Trying to hold them off by letting them know that they are still working me up down here. So far staying out of the hospital. Since we don’t see patients on Friday I think I’m going to take the day off and rest. By rest, do a water change but I swear nothing else the rest of the day. I . I really want fixed, I don’t want to go on disability again because I like buying corals.just majorly frustrated, coming up on three weeks and no one has any answers still. Otherwise, unicorns, pixels and rainbows. Thanks for asking, sorry about the vent.
No need to apologize Kevin. That's what I asked and it's what we're all here for. It's frustrating to put your trust and your wallet into care that isnt helping you.
Yeah take your day off and do your water change. That'll help your mindset if nothing else. Take care of yourself and keep us up to date.
 
How should it feel my friend?
Since I like a mid rare, I shoot for a little bit of texture with not too much resistance. It should almost leave a dimple.
 
Not only is there no musical theme but there's not a single song posted tonight.

No theme from me either but I'll save the night with a single song.

 
Good morning. I wasn’t feeling great so I banged out from work and pretty much crashed the night. Sorry, was too wiped out to do musical stuff last night.
Good morning Steve, sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Get some rest today!
