Good evening everyone! I got my Hellfire frag order and I'm impressed so far. They seem to be decent sized frags for the most part which I like. They aren't open fully yet as they are still mad from being shipped but I will get better pictures tomorrow.

Very nice Amanda!
 
well here's mine

That looks really good, but why is the portion so small? Dropping weight for bikini season? Also, where is the sour cream, pico and salsa?
Kidding my friend! It looks like it was quite tasty

Hi Rock!!! Can you send me the info on the person you got your RFAs from? Only one of the ones I bought made it and I would love to add more soon. How are yours doing?

Homer has the same aquarium controller that I use.
Good thing your tank isn't in the bedroom... it would look like a strobe light! 🤣 IFKYK!
 
Good morning everyone!!! Hope things go well today Kevin and that you finally start getting some help so you can start to feel better.

Good morning Amanda!
 
As someone who used to work in the er (float pool at a hospital) this is more normal than you think. It all depends on how full hospitals are, where emt transports are etc… Some people would simply be in their and be out within an hour or two on slower days. However, when it came to transporting patients to another hospital or facility it usually would take a while. I’ve seen some patients have to wait 1-2+ days because of no room, or due to having specific needs.
Good morning Bailey
 
The procedure was called off for today, nurse didn’t know why and said nephrology will talk with me. Disappointed, I was hoping to get it over with and get me closer to going home.
If you have any questions Kev, shoot me a text or call. If I'm with a patient, I will call back or send a text.
 
That makes me think of the McRib they sell at McDonald's. Never had one of those things before
Probably a good thing Bailey, unless you need a colon cleanse

Thanks Rock, my guess is the interventional radiologist didn’t have time on his schedule to fit me in but I’ll see what nephrology has to say.
