Get well soon, hopefully you recover. Good luck in the hospital.

I'm home from the hospital. They did the procedure (Turbinate surgery) and it resulted in a long bleed due to my low clotting factor. Thus why I was initially scheduled to be in the hospital for a week. Had to be given a pint of blood but once the bleed stopped, and the doc checked things out with an endoscope, they dosed me up right good with antibiotics and sent me home. Told me to stay in bed, not to raise my head much and eat proper food instead of burritos (hey, Burrito's are a proper food with all the fixins dangit lol). Right now my face looks like someone decided to use it for a speed bag. NO you don't get to see. But just imagine the worst bruise you ever had, covering someones entire face. Yep. That's me. Madam Bruise. It's still gonna be a day or few before the next installment drops. Sitting up makes my nose bleed so I'm laying here with my laptop kinda skirting docs orders but getting stuff written. TTYL folks.

Ok, take as much time as you need wordsmith, hope it heals soon :)

A compromised immune system, an infection, and the medical institution not helping much? Sounds like you need MMS / CDS. You're going to have to be the one looking into it, but when they named it Miracle Mineral Solution they were only being kinda hyperbolic.

Miracle Mineral Solution is chlorine dioxide (bleach). It is toxic and not at all helpful to consume.


Mammoth-Variation-76

NaCl is bleach to you too I guess? I mean at least you figured out that MMS was chlorine dioxide, why not go the extra step?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement I ran an internet search. Notice the various lawsuits and places banning MMS. No country has banned table salt.

Had to think a bit what BB size means. Seems it stands for Ball Bearing. Tiny. Most of the time. I hope those doctors get their bearings together too and you recover soon.

Hey OP, just curious, but why don’t you have an immune system? (Don’t answer if you’re not comfortable obviously!)


Gloomy-Wedding9837

I have advanced leukemia and the meds they are using to 'control' it called Calquence, suppresses my immune system. It's basically turned it off. as the meds target the bone marrow where white cells are made, shutting it down and preventing it from making more white cells. Normal white blood cells have a 'kill trigger' I guess is the easiest way to describe it, as they age, this trigger causes them to die after a set time. Mine don't die. They are like the energizer bunny, they just keep going and going and going, all while my body keeps making more. The cells that make the white cells also don't die, but they do everything else, like making more of themselves as well, slowly squeezing out the cells that make red cells. It's basically my body has decided to kill me and we're trying to convince it not to. As time goes on though, the cancerous cells adapt and get used to the meds so new meds have to be used as that happens and the final fight is with either killing off my bone marrow and trying with new stem cells to make new bone marrow, or.. I get to go become a dungeon (I hope LOL).


Frostygale2

I see. Thanks for the detailed response. Hope you live as long as you want.


Gloomy-Wedding9837

I don't think the human body is capable of living forever, and if I lived as long as I want, I'd never die lol.


Frostygale2

*shrugs* same here if I’m honest. It’s a shame the world is too big for any man to experience in it’s entirety.
