1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: That choke.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 2: When the rents passed you in the carball Star, when

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 2: the only sponsors my broken art.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: We're hanging on this janky stream.

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 3: Two weird voices in the glow of a stream.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: If the worm Boss say.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 3: To let him laugh, welcome back. It's a brand new episode.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 3: This is laughed for me, the podcast and Jeremy and

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm ho.

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: Jeremy stares at the stats, hands shaken over takeout boxes.

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Johnny's already mapping hotels on a napkin.

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: With crazy crosses. They quit jobs a.

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Kind of it, tell their losses. Catch the show boss

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: just shrugs, Oh, it's funny.

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: Johnny grants y'all. Never it's jo and I gotta clear

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: something up from last episode. If you listen to the

17
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: Friday happy hour number eighteen, thank you Johnny, eighteen. It's

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 3: a big number. It's a big number. Hopefully crank out

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: eighteen more those Friday happy hours. I got a clear

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: something up. I did get some feedback, mainly for my

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: brother who said you forgot to mention where with a

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: broken back you still managed to help win in basketball

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 3: against America's future, which is true. The youth of the

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: nation went down to the couple of old guys. So

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Kyle and I even after a day later, after falling

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: and breaking my back in a skateboard accident, I manage

27
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: two in a two on three disadvantage, go on to

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: win in a basketball game. And I will say, this

29
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: is what I want to say about that is one

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: I'm not going to take all the credit. Kyle was

31
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: moving around the most. Had to. I had to play point.

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: I had to do all check check ins and kind

33
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: of you know, from a standstill position, distribute the basketball,

34
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: and then I would move from there. Had to. There

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: was no way I was in a position to move

36
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 3: around and get open. That's just wasn't gonna happen. So

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: kudos to Kyle for that one. I also like to say,

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: when you're talking about the three young teenagers that we

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: did beat in basketball, one of them is he's positioned

40
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 3: at the top of the key and he's yelling ISO.

41
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he's calling out plays. I just I just

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: want to throw that out there that this wasn't any

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: you know, lesser competition. This was good competition just because

44
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: they were young. Please give them the credit they deserve

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: because this was this was a tough batt especially me

46
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: with the broken back. And then Kyle as old as

47
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: he is, he you know, he's gonna be forty next year,

48
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: and that's, you know, a couple old guys. We did

49
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: pretty good. In fact, we were playing to ten by one,

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: we were down eight to two, and we came back

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: to win the game. So I I'd like to take

52
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: more credit than what I deserve. All I want to

53
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: say is, you know, with a broken back, we persevered.

54
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: We persevered. It's kudos Kyle.

55
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: He uh.

56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: He wanted to make sure that we called that out

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: that despite all the injuries and everything, we still managed

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: to prevail. So there you go. That's that was the

59
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: deal with my back. You know, here we are, we're

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: well over a week later and I am still hurting

61
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: from this back injury, but I'm moving around a little bit.

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: The thing is, once I get going, I get moving,

63
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: you know a little more than a normal brisk walk,

64
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: I'm out of breath. And that's not something I was

65
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: encountering previous to the back injury. So there's gotta be

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: something with the ribs or lungs or something. Gotta be

67
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: gotta be gotta be healing, though, But I do feel

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: like everyday've get a little better. But today today we

69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: got a story time. It is story time with Jo

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: and that's it is medical related. Has nothing to do

71
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: with my back. This time I will save you from that. No,

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: this time we're getting back in the nitty gritty of

73
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: Crohn's disease because one of the things that I deal

74
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: with almost on a monthly basis is receiving an ivy

75
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: of some blood or some iron because sometimes both, because

76
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: you know, I'm I get very anemic. And I did

77
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: encounter that this last week where I had to on

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: two separate occasions, go to the IV center and you know,

79
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: get plugged in Monday, not so bad, one poke got

80
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: it in, boom boom, boom. Thirty minutes later. I'm out

81
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 3: the door right Friday. On the other hand, here's the thing, though,

82
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: hand up it. It might have started with me as

83
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: the problem. I just want to throw that out there

84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: because I guess I had like a two ten appointment

85
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: and your boys showed up at a fifteen am. And

86
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: I'll tell you why. Normally I do have morning appointments,

87
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: and Monday was an eight to fifteen appointment, and at

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: ate around eight o'clock on Thursday, the day before my appointment.

89
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: I received the notification that it was time to check in,

90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 3: which tells me twenty four hours from the appointment. What

91
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: I didn't do is actually confirm and check that appointment time.

92
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: I've learned my mistake, and anybody who deals with that

93
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: kind of stuff that's listening, I learned my lesson, okay,

94
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: because trust me, they made sure to hit me on

95
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 3: every level of the way that I need to double

96
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: check my stuff. I get it. And I've never had

97
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: this issue before, so I don't know why they had really,

98
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: you know, shove it down my throat, but they really did.

99
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: But they made me pay. Let's just say that. So

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: then I show up, they make it work. They said,

101
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: no problem, just come on up. We'll get just squared away,

102
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: right because I'm in the base and I'm in the hematology.

103
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: Why did they put hematology in the basement. I'll tell

104
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: you what. I'd never had metology up until maybe a

105
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 3: little over a year ago, two years, a year and

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: a half ago or so. And they have been life

107
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: saving having them on the medicals team. Life saving, like

108
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: they can just get stuff done immediately, things that I've

109
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: had to wait weeks for. So I truly appreciate, and

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: they don't ask for much your return. That's the thing.

111
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: They don't ask for much other than me showing up.

112
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: So I truly appreciate the hematology department. Anybody works in

113
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: that area. So they let me up. I walk in,

114
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 3: they give me checked in, they give me the business

115
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 3: about my appointment not being the right time. I apologize again,

116
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: because I've already apologized once. I apologize again. Then I

117
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: go and sit in my seat. I have the nurse

118
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: who's going to be putting divy in me, gives me

119
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: the business about the I apologize them. Then I get

120
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: the head nurse, a person who's working the ivy to

121
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: come over to remind me that I need to double

122
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 3: check my appointents. And I know I get it, and

123
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: I apologize to her as well. Now the original nurse

124
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: comes over and she's going to put in the iv

125
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: I've never seen her before. She's a put the ivy

126
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: in and uh, you know, go my way now, I

127
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: I am. It's difficult sometimes to find the spot, you know,

128
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: the vein like I am. Difficult. I don't know if

129
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: it's the I'm not a doctor, so I'm not gonna

130
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: say it's because of X y Z. But there's there's

131
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: something going on in me that makes it so that

132
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: my veins disappear, that makes them difficult to find, that

133
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: makes them difficult to poke. There's there is something there,

134
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: and they've they've told me this before, in fact, in

135
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: a previous office in office, a hospital visit, one of

136
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: the times I had a er stay. Uh. They after

137
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: so many pokes, they ended up using this this machine

138
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: to like like X ray through my bicep and find

139
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: the spot. Something they you know, generally use when they

140
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: are looking at a baby in a womb, like what's

141
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: that called, Johnny, what's that called? What the hell is

142
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: that thing called? But they used that on my arm

143
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: so they could find the vein and put in the

144
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: IV and they did. They found it very easily with

145
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: that machine. But it was like, holy cow, this is

146
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: what we're dealing with. I mean, multiple people coming in

147
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: and pokemone trying to figure it out in this previous visit.

148
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: So we get to today and you know, she's like,

149
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you, and she she goes in. She's

150
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 3: got this rule. She's like, I won't go into your tattoos.

151
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, whatever, And I understand why you

152
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: wouldn't want to do that. You might ruin the art whatever.

153
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: But anyway, she's trying to avoid the tattoos. But eventually

154
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. So they see the spot where we

155
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: went in Monday and avoided that. One went to the

156
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 3: other arm tried. She says she got it. She can

157
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: get a little bit of blood up and man, did

158
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: it hurt like hell. So I know it's not right.

159
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: And she keeps going and we are probably forty five

160
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: seconds with it in and it hurts like elle, and

161
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: she's not quite getting it. She pulls it out and says,

162
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. I'm gonna get somebody else who

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: maybe is a little more experienced than this, and then

164
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: we'll go from there. So she doesn't want anyone try

165
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: for a second time. She's immediately moving on to the

166
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: second nurse. So it's like okay, So she brings in

167
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: another nurse who's going to try, who then takes a

168
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: stab at it. You get that, Johnny, and that that

169
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: one doesn't go well either. This one misses all together.

170
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: It hurts. We pull that out. We're going to try

171
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: now the head, the head nurse, the one who who's

172
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 3: giving me the business about the the appointment time. So

173
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 3: she comes over and she takes two runs at this thing.

174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: So now I'm at four pokes and she now is saying,

175
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: maybe we should call eat the R and see who's there,

176
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: because we can get the er to come in and

177
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: maybe help a little bit, because at this point we're

178
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: getting no blood out and it's hurting. It's hurting like

179
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: the veins are they're either blowing them or they're missing

180
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 3: them all together, because it's disappearing on them once they do,

181
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: like you have great veins, You've got good veins that

182
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: pop up and then boom, we're going in and they

183
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: just disappear. And I don't know if I don't know

184
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 3: the psychology of it, like with a human body, like

185
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: maybe I'm nervous when the needle's going in, because that's

186
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: why I usually look away, and maybe I'm nervous, and

187
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: then when that happens my body like the veins will

188
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: just disappear. I don't know, but I know it's happening.

189
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: And it was a struggle, and we were at forty

190
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 3: minutes at trying to put this IV in now, so

191
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: then we get so as we were waiting for the

192
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: er guy. Then a nurse that the only nurse there

193
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: that I was familiar with that she's there often. She's

194
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: actually a Chargers fan as well, so we all we

195
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 3: often talk about the bolts and what Justin Herbert needs

196
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: in order to take the next step, which, frankly, this

197
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: offseason is a big one because if we didn't fix

198
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: the offensive line. Now, I don't know what to tell you.

199
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you could you could see it on his body.

200
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: Last year it was breaking down all over the place

201
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: because of the multitude of hits he was taking and

202
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: the offensive line was abolutely trased and it was trash

203
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: just because of the injuries. It was like, you know,

204
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: next man up, sure, but when you're five six, seven,

205
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 3: eight deep, it's not helpful. But I digress. Both need

206
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: some help. I think this is the year we're gonna

207
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 3: get some help. But anyways, anyway, she's a Charger fan.

208
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: She goes she wants to take a stab out it.

209
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: So then she goes in and she tries one time,

210
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: So what's that number five? And she can't get it.

211
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 3: She's let's go to the other arm where I got

212
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: it last time. On Monday, we're gonna give it a

213
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: role there so she gives it a go. This is

214
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: now poke number six. Unfortunately it doesn't work. And she's

215
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: really good, so I've seen I mean, I've had her

216
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: put the ivy in many many times, so I trust

217
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: her it just for whatever reason, I wasn't about that

218
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: life this time. So then the the er guy comes

219
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 3: in and this is where it gets interesting because immediately

220
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: he's all business, right he could, He's all, he's probably

221
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: Pissi's there. He walked all the way over and saw

222
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: another nurse trying to administer it, and we thought he

223
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 3: thought we were waiting for him, which kind of were

224
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 3: He goes in, but he wants to hit that spot

225
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: like on your wrist, on the inside of your wrist

226
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: that they don't do that they won't do like the

227
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: nurses they're like, no, no, no, no, we don't touch that. Uh.

228
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: He goes right in on that because he's an er

229
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: guy and he feels like he can he can do it.

230
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: So he goes in. Immediately he hops in that vein

231
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: right in the right on the inside of my left wrist.

232
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: And when I say it and oh, and let me

233
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 3: tell you this, that nurse that was there before that

234
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 3: that I know She's like, I know where he's going

235
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: with this, and I'm going to sit here with you

236
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: and you're gonna hold my and I'm gonna like hold

237
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: your hand, or you can hold my hand and squeeze

238
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: as hard as you need to because it's gotta hurt,

239
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: like what the fuck, like it's been hurting, like it's

240
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: been hurting. And sure enough, boy did her and I'm

241
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 3: squeezing her hand. She's like, don't scream. This is this

242
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: is a quote, and this is why I appreciate her.

243
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: You're not You're not gonna scream like a little bitch.

244
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm not. I'm not gonna scream. I'm

245
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: not gonna scream. I'm just gonna squeze your hand. And

246
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: I did do that and it did hurt, and he

247
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: did blow my vein, which we're gonna put the picture up.

248
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: You could see it on our on our exicount as well.

249
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: Laugh with me pod or at Jo from Nebraska, because

250
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 3: they did blow the wrist and it did bubble up

251
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: like crazy, and it did bruise. I mean, we're three

252
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: days in and look at that bad boy, and it's

253
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: it's still bruising up pretty good. I never bruis up

254
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: like that from an ivy. But boy did it it

255
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: was huge. It was bleeding, uh so, and he missed. So,

256
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: so we're on a number eight and I told him, Hey,

257
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: at this point, I'm looking for the hospital record. He advised,

258
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: I do not go for that. Uh it. The eighth

259
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: would be a personal record. So I have now achieved

260
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: my own personal record of how many times attempts it's

261
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: taken to put the Minister of the av But he

262
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: had recommended I do not go for the hospital record.

263
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: So I declined from that, and I said, then that's

264
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: on you. Eight times a charm right, like, let's go.

265
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: So he flips my hand over, goes up my left wrist,

266
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: finds a little vain, he ends up he yeah, ends

267
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: up putting it in, ends up putting it in. Eight times.

268
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: I had to put that wrap around my left frist

269
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: though it was bleeding like hell. Point, I tell you,

270
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: that's the only one I've ever had, and I've had

271
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: I've had some blown In fact, I've had them in

272
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: my right bicep before, where not only did they blow

273
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: it and I told him it hurt. They said no, no, no,

274
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: we know better and it's good and they went ahead

275
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: and started pumping in you know what they needed to

276
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: pump in, and my bicep got so freaking big and

277
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 3: tight knit and hurt like hell. And I had to

278
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: call in the nurse and like this same right this,

279
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm not that big, That's what she said. So it's

280
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: like that's where uh I know, right, like I just

281
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: I know, And uh boy, this wrist one, this wrist

282
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: one hurt Like driving home, I had to right hand

283
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: only on the wheel and left arm was down just

284
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 3: flipping that wrist anyway with the steering wheel with something special.

285
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: But uh yeah, so that's that's where wrap. I ended

286
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: up getting what I needed. I got my blood. I'm in.

287
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: I'm hopefully gonna be good for a month or so,

288
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: we're hopefully longer. But this is this is where we're at.

289
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: This is what we're dealing with here in the worlds

290
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: of being anemic and having the crones, having the crones,

291
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: And it's it's not just that. I mean they say

292
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: that this part of it, the things you deal with

293
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: at the hospital is some of the worst stuff. But

294
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: I would have to argue that was bad and it

295
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: was inconvenient and it hurt, But I have to argue

296
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: that some of the stuff we go through in every

297
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: day of the immediate of having to find where the

298
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: toilet is, the immediate of having to know where a

299
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: toilet is just in case at all times. I mean,

300
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: that's that's the stuff that I think that people don't

301
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: think about, because like the mental stuff, like you're already

302
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: not sure what you're gonna eat, You're already not sure

303
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: how you're gonna feel any moment. You know, you might

304
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: look like you're doing fine, but you're exhausted, or you're

305
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: in pain. Your whole body hurts, or you know, you

306
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 3: just or you're like you know when someone's stomach hurts,

307
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: they have cramps, and it's like, well, I'm gonna I

308
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: need to use the toilet. I need to go, and

309
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: then they go and like oh I feel better, Like

310
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 3: we have that, and then our ass hurts, like the

311
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: colon hurts for some time because it just went through

312
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: it just went through some things that and I'm not

313
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: even going to begin to be able to explain because

314
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm not a doctor, but the pain and the constant

315
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: not knowing how we're going to feel, that, I think

316
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: that's the mental part. Like that's the worst part. I

317
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 3: live by the if I'm going anywhere, I need to

318
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 3: know that they're going to have functional bathroom and if

319
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: they don't, who is going to you know, nearby? Or

320
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: my timeline how long am I going to be here?

321
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: So I have a countdown of when I'm gonna be

322
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: at the next place I need to be at. That's

323
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: that's that's real stuff that folks with Crohn's disease like

324
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: they deal with on a daily basis, and it could

325
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 3: be a lot. And then just think of the embarrassment

326
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 3: of if you don't make it, you know, if you

327
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 3: don't make it in time, then what So Yeah, it's

328
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: not all jokes with divs. I know that. And this

329
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: is the other stuff that it really man, I really

330
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 3: can start to wear on you. And I was telling

331
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: I was telling Johnny about this, and he's like, I

332
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: think I got exactly what you need. I'm like, what

Speaker 3: He's not a doctor either. Just put that out there.

337
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 3: But he knows exactly how to put that smile on

338
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,280
