    Thanks! Yea a lifetime of immunosuppressants is definitely not ideal but way better than dealing with the ups and downs from day to dat y that come with a non functioning organ.

     

    I’d be curious to hear about time it took to feel back to their old self pre diagnosis. I know everyones different but it would be great to know if its months or years


    I asked him about this and he said it took him about a year to feel grounded after the adjustments in routine/lifestyle. The first 6 months were the most challenging because he had to stay on top of his meds and look out for specific things just in case. He mentioned that it was difficult at times to remember he had to take it easy for a while. He’s a pretty active guy so slowing down was an adjustment.

     

    But yeah, he said a year. To get into the flow of “a new way of living.”

    Can Laviolette coach the Raiders?

     

    I can't even look at McDaniels anymore without getting the urge to projectile vomit.

     

    They just fired McDaniels and the GM. This tweet hurts my soul smh

    Hey all, was wondering if anyone in here has had a major organ transplant as it would be good to speak to someone who’s gone through something I’m about to go through.

     

    Last August I developed blood clots in my liver central vein that essentially killed it with no hope of it recovering. Been managing with a lot of meds and doctors visits since then but It’s looking like I’m moving up the list and can be getting a new liver sometime within the next 6 months

     

    so yea if anyone has gone through something similar I would love to chat about recovery and life after transplant.

     

     

    Not me, but one of my closest friends had a kidney transplant. His quality of life increased a great deal after the procedure for numerous reasons. Dialysis took a huge toll on his body and he was pretty much fed up with it when he recieved the call. Off the top of my head the most challenging part has been the side effects from the immunosuppressants he has to take. There are also certain physical activities he's had to give up or really dial down (was an avid climber) but he's adapted. Some weight gain and a little hair loss are also things he's learning to manage.  If you have any particular questions you'd like to ask him, I can take it to him and get back to you.

     

    I'm glad to hear you've got a good support system around you (really important) You've got this, dude. Keep us posted.

    It's so quiet on here today you would think we lost last night.


    There’s not much to complain about LOL

    Rangers are adapting to a new system and the glimpses of what we’ve seen thus far gives fans a lot to be excited about. We can expect the process to be bumpy, but there’s lots of improvements to be happy about. 

     

    I’m just happy to see the days of pond hockey are over. They still have tendencies to get too cute from time to time but a balance will come.

    I mean, honestly, I was expecting an extremely rough start. This is a tired core who just went through trauma collapsing the way they did against the Devils, only got older, and are now facing their third coach in like four years? There's just no way in hell they're going to gel and look good until November, earliest.

    Best case, I think they're .500 heading toward Thanksgiving, and can hopefully get it in gear right before so they don't end up trying to play catch-up.


    should infract you for this depressing post smh

    Chytil looked pretty good. Someone needs to teach this guy how to win a faceoff. It's bad. 

     

    Everyone else was kinda meh. Need a good showing from Jones here. Step it up oid. You're future here is seriously riding on you having a good pre season. 

     

    When is Lafreniere going to play? Probably next game. I'm sure he'll come out and kick ass. This way he can show the coach he deserves top line minutes.  

     

    What do you mean? He's playing right now.
