Super User Darren. Posted March 4, 2016 Super User Posted March 4, 2016 Good news about the PSA test, Bill. Sorry to hear you fell and broke some ribs. I still have to hold my left side when I sneeze thanks to a dumb move I made while playing sand volleyball. Wish they had raked the sand before I fell on it.... Quote
lo n slo Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 hang in there bill. did you pass out or what? Quote
Super User bigbill Posted March 4, 2016 Author Super User Posted March 4, 2016 Just got dizzy from not eating. I guess. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted March 4, 2016 Super User Posted March 4, 2016 Glad to hear the good news. Sorry about the bad. What kind of diet are you on? Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 4, 2016 Super User Posted March 4, 2016 Big Bill, are you on blood pressure meds? If you are, standing up quickly can, at times, make you woozy. Hands tingle? That can also be a sign of low bp. Been there, done that. Kiddies, close your eyes. The ED meds can also result in dizziness and fainting. Quote
mrmacwvu1 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 keep some jack links jerky with you just in case you get dizzy Quote
Super User slonezp Posted March 5, 2016 Super User Posted March 5, 2016 Bittersweet. Great news about the cancer Quote
Super User bigbill Posted March 6, 2016 Author Super User Posted March 6, 2016 I'm on bp meds twice a day I cut back to once a day. Half a tuna sammich stuffed with lettuce for lunch. When I fell I hit my lower left rib cage on the corner of the bath tub. As I fell I hyper closed my left knee. Not hyper extended but hyper closed. The 5yo grandson is begging me to go fishing. He's the worm and bobber stage. I told him when it warms up.(month) if I'm ok. Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 6, 2016 Super User Posted March 6, 2016 Outstanding about your PSA. Had my annual physical review on this past Tuesday and my PSA went from .84 to 1.45 which to me is alarming. But doctor said not to worry about it as it is still excellent. As for falling, you go to be more careful and don't let your blood sugar fall too low. I carry crackers with me, sometimes peanut filled and other times just plain, old Nabisco crackers. My blood sugar drops around 10:30 each day as I have breakfast at 5:30 or 5:45 each morning. No snack and I am out to the world. Glad to read you are on a diet. Me, too. Love carbs so it is a challenge. Us old guys have to take care of ourselves if we are going to hang around enough to bankrupt Social Security. You young guns be sure to pay a lot into F.I.C. A.!!!!!!!! Quote
Catch 22 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 You may have to adjust your BP meds to your weight. BTDT. Also,if anyone is taking Lipitor for cholesterol and suffer leg cramps a lot, the med may be the culprit. BTDT too Be well C22 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted March 7, 2016 Super User Posted March 7, 2016 Great news on the cancer Quote

Super User buzzed bait Posted March 8, 2016 Super User Posted March 8, 2016 congrats bill, you can recover from that fall!! Quote
Super User bigbill Posted March 9, 2016 Author Super User Posted March 9, 2016 I'm really behind on my projects now. Building one of those jeep mudders with the tractor tires. Need to ship out some stuff. But healing is slow. Haven't checked the trail cam yet. Quote
hawgenvy Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Those injections you took can cause osteoporosis, which makes bones fragile and they can break more easily. Since you already have fractured several ribs you should look into having a test for osteoporosis. Start vitamin D with calcium now, but if there is osteoporosis present on bone density testing, you should get another important medicine that can strengthen bones a great deal and help prevent future fractures. If you do have osteoporosis, the next fracture could be your hip or back vertebra, so ask your doctors soon about ordering a bone density test. Quote
EricTheAngler Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Do you track your food bill? Use myfitnesspal to track and not guess all of your calories. Ive lost 5 pounds in a few weeks by just eating a deficit. Good news on the cancer and weight loss great to hear! Quote
