Us bunch of crazy over 35 lifters must be the only people our age hitting it hard right after Christmas. I was going to lift after all the festivities last night but the tireds got me.

Well on Saturday I got hammered with some stomach bug…puking and shitting all day, finally put down a solid meal yesterday and thankfully it stayed down, will train today and see how it goes.
In other news…
Its not a secret that I have been on anti-depressants for close to 20 years unfortunately, I readily admit they are a blessing and a curse. Here is a situation that I thought I took the correct precautions did my due diligence and still may find myself searching for answers.
I was scheduled to get my CT Myleogram yesterday…weeks ago I did research online and ascertained what medications or OTC meds needed to be stopped before having the procedure. The usual blood thinning meds were not allowed, I expected that. In addition however there was a slew of Anti-Depressants, Psychotropics etc that could not be used. So I searched extensively for the ones that I take (Effexor and Zoloft)…and they were not on any list.
Fast Forward to yesterday (wut) getting ready to get this shit over with, and the hospital for joint diseases, advised me that they will not do the procedure as I need to be off those meds for 48 hours before and 48 hours after. This is an impossibility anyone who is on these types of meds knows just dropping them cold turkey even for a day sometimes (Effexor especially) can really fuck you up. I told them that I checked, but they still refused stating that the chance of a seizure is evident while taking these meds and having this procedure. They said while other hosptials may allow it NYU does not.
NOW FUCKING WHAT…
waiting on my ortho…until then ill keep on slapping my dick against the wall
Good luck Matty. I hope they can work with you can get things fixed up safely. All the best in the new year.
Oh no, that’s not what you wanted to hear at all. All it does it take one incident to happen in a hospital (well depending on who it happens to), even when there is a weak correlation, for them to ban it from their policy.
Hope you have a happy new year the best you can.
A happy and healthy new year to you and your family!
