🤢🥴💩_ Fubah's risky baseball bets _🥶😲🥵

Is anyone else a little worried about Fubah? Haven’t seen a post and hoping all is ok. 

@Augie11

 I thought about this earlier too but for sure the big boss is ok. 

My baseball guy is taking a vacation?  Since I don't trust my mlb picks, I like to check in with "my guy" fubah to help me make sense of it.  So I picked Dodgers R.L. because fub wasn't around to talk me out of it.  Possible, No soup for me tomorrow.  

Hope it is a break and alls well fubah.  This coming from the guy that generally hates everybody........

Fuba, Nicely done 3-1 day.6-1 last 2day. Keep up the great work.TY Fuba

 TY .....it looks like I should be OK but there are some concerns.

Just got back from visit with my Internal Specialist (not a cardiologist).  I explained my cardiac symptoms since getting the stent on June 30, and starting a nightly regimen of 6 different drugs.First few weeks clear of any symptoms but past 3 weeks I've needed to use emergency only Nitro spray frequently. I believe and my doc agrees it may be due to LOW blood pressure which can be sometimes caused by the mix of drugs. I need to be vigilant about constant hydration (because my thirst seems reduced and I actually have to remind myself to drink)  Sometimes I get dizzy and light-headed, which is a known side-effect, though not considered serious.  Mind you my appetite is somewhat suppressed now too (another known side effect and I've lost 5 lbs even when weighed on days I have loaded up on water.)  Not eating much can sometimes lead to light-headedness, so the battle now is to regain my "body-balance" by diligently eating a few times a day (smallish meals) and regularly drinking fluids. 

Other than that my internal doc is disappointed/concerned that the cardiologists only put a stent to repair the 80% block heart artery, but left the two which are 70% blocked alone - and they are on the MAIN heart artery!.....which could be what's still creating my occasional heart palpitations.  I have a 60% block too. And a 50%.  Cardiologist wanted to test to see how well DAPT (drug therapy) would work first before adding more stents, but they admit it is a close call.

 I write all this not to help readers who are already "intimately" aware of everything I wrote but rather as a "heads up" to readers who are either a) overwweight/obese or b) slender/normal size but are (just like I was) reluctant to back off sweets, most breakfast cereals, pastries, pizza, fries and fried foods, store-bought snacks, cake, donuts, fat-laden foods, white breads/buns, chicken wings, etc. etc. Otherwise commonly known as "junk food."   

I am 72 and remained slender all my life (until covid) but because I remained active and slender my mind just sort of believed I was immune from the effects of eating "junk foods."  Whatta Duckin Fummy!!!   Plaque (waxy substance from eating fats and sugars) slowly but consistently builds up and STICKS PERMANENTLY to the interior walls of our heart arteries making them more narrow, no matter how slim we are!  The blockage increases over time and NOTHING can remove it! 

 ...continued . . . 

  Then one day - because one or more of our arteries becomes greatly narrowed (like 70% blocked or worse and you wouldn't even know it!!!) a small blood clot, which would pass through any GOOD artery without issue, gets easily stuck in a narrowed artery - blood won't pass through - that part of your heart cries in pain and we have a stroke or heart attack - often fatal.  An angiogram will reveal how many and to what degree your heart arteries are blocked.  If you eat junk (see above list) then it is FOR CERTAIN some of your heart artery are narrowed - and some might even be close to danger levels! That's what happened to me! I AM NOT KIDDING, guys!  Straight from my cardiologist!  Read up on it.  It could save your life.

Thursday:

LEANING to Twinkies tonight . . .

I fully realize that it's real easy for me to say this after the results are known, but my "experience/intuition/skill" (not capping!) had pegged Yankees, Nats, Baahhstin, WhiteSox and Tiggers for wins..... 2 of those 5 already won and a third seems likely.

Also with no capping (just gut experience/intuition/skill) I like the Twinkies...

Twins get back from IL,  BUXTON

@fubah2

 Thanks fubah2 for being comfortable enough to share your medical situation with us, I'm glad that you were able to see the Doctor today, I hope and pray that your Doctor will be able to help you get well soon.

@fubah2

 I am glad to hear from you, although still worried and have you in my prayers my friend. As for the hydration, I hate drinking water so I add a half of packet of liquid IV sugar free to a big a$& tumbler and it helps keep well hydrated. I’m 61 and like you have been very slim and athletic, I wrestled since 8 and think I’m invincible and eat horrible. I may have to take your advice and get my stuff checked out. Please take care of yourself and we all send good wishes to you! 

 Great to hear from you Fubs, cause without you, you were killing us smalls-oops Fubs… pun intended… Just kidding. But some of us need to hear it because some of us old folks are getting in the twilight, so don’t ever feel bad about passing along that message of your health and family and friends… We’re glad you’re doing good and hanging in there, the forum is a great place to check in because of folks like you!!!   

@Augie11

 All guys should ask for a PSA test.Early detection is the key for prostate cancer.I was fortunate I tested early.Never hurts to ask your Doc.

@fubah2

 Glad to hear you are ok champ! NFL is just around the corner, we need your mojo back! lets start with the twinkies tonight

Gonna give a colonoscopy shoutout too while we’re on the subject. One of the easier preventable cancers for younger men. If you are 45 and haven’t scheduled it, get on it!

 Thanks for a great season,Hope you feel better soon !
