windy1 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 I just wanted to express my sincere thanks to everyone for their concern and well wishes. Got the results of my tests today and Hallelujah it's not cancer!! It is however severe Grave's disease that I have apparently been living with for about three years. Now all they have to do is blast my thyroid with radioactivity until they literally destroy it. Doc thinks this is a good thing, and I suppose it is, but I can't help but feel it's just a slight step up from cancer. Oh well, I'll live with it, and you guys will have to continue to put up with me! Seriously, thanks again, you'll never know what your words meant to me.
MuzikTyme Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 This is as good a time as any to say I'm happy that the news you've gotten is the news you wanted to hear. Health is something taken for granted by the healthy but worshipped by those that yearn for it. I'm glad that you're glad.
_Annabelle_ Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 Your welcome. Very happy to hear its not cancer and I hope and pray the treatment goes well and wish you the best of health.
Elvish Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 Congratulations on the good news and good luck with treatment (on the not-so-good news end)!
_jr_ Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 Mission Control, we have thyroid activity...... Missiles locked..... ZAP!! Carole, honey, you're tougher than a two dollar steak.
MindCrime Posted September 2, 2004 Report Posted September 2, 2004 That's good to hear that your going to be alright, my deepest sympathys & I'm glad to see you back posting
cosmosis Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 I called my friends so we can celebrate
MarcM Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 I called my friends so we can celebrate Hey,,,is that CD's avatar on the right......Windy, I am glad to hear its not the "Big C."
MindCrime Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 I work out every day & I look at that picture & just think how painful it would be to eventually build abs like that deviled creature in the pic above. Muscles are a good thing, but that could just be too much work.
MuzikTyme Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 IMO, abs should never be exercised with weight or negative reps. The abs should be toned yes, but not bulked. I've a few body building friends who do not listen to me. They look great when they flex, but when they are relaxed it looks like they have a gut. When they are in clothes they look fat. But, it's just my opinion. The human body was meant to be beautiful yes. But overdoing it, IMO, is vain. One thing, the muscles grow far faster than bone. Many who develop muscle too fast have joint problems later on in life, especially those who use steroids. Another thing I notice, and am not saying it about all body builders, is that they walk like there is a stick up their butt and are constantly looking at their arms. Don't get me wrong, I admire dedication, just sometimes don't like the results. Mindcrime, I'll suggest that you do not workout everyday. Even if you have a split routine there comes a time in the week when you are working the same muscle groups two days in a row. You'll have far better results, in the long run, if you give your muscles time to recuperate after tearing them down from resistance training. But, my best of friends don't listen to me so why should you? EDIT - Holy Toledo Mudhen! I forgot what thread I was in. Windy, we're all very happy that you got the great news.

Many who develop muscle too fast have joint problems later on in life, especially those who use steroids. Abs never need to have muscle built into them in the first place, and yes it does look like flab when not flexed. I do the necessary workout (crunches, stretching with a wheel). Mindcrime, I'll suggest that you do not workout everyday. Even if you have a split routine there comes a time in the week when you are working the same muscle groups two days in a row. You'll have far better results, in the long run, if you give your muscles time to recuperate after tearing them down from resistance training. I take breaks & workout about 5 days a week, but not on the same muscle region continuously. A person who works out on all muscle groups each day for 4 hours, 7 times a week.. will be as fit as someone who sits on the couch the whole time. Relaxation time is required to build the muscle tone, otherwise it's just wasted work. But, my best of friends don't listen to me so why should you? Oh I listen, I've had to listen to others including my parents before in the past about this. I've had friends who've been through severe workout related injuries, including spot-free bench press incidents, involving a broken collar bone. EDIT - Holy Toledo Mudhen! I forgot what thread I was in. Windy, we're all very happy that you got the great news. Yes, I'm sorry for hijacking your thread Windy, I just had to comment my disgust on the picture that was posted.
miamisammy29 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 Rock on, Windy! Rumor it has it the Stones are still going to tour in the Spring. Maybe I'll see you at the TWA Dome (I'll be looking backwards to find you, however, cause I'll be in the front row).
Danielj Posted September 3, 2004 Report Posted September 3, 2004 It'll all be worth it WSindy....You glow!! Great news
cosmosis Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Hey,,,is that CD's avatar on the right Marc, that's a photo of the band GWAR wearing yet another set of freaky costumes. These guys are like the horror counterpart of Spinal Tap.
Jenny Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 I'm still catching up on posts from being on vacation, but let me add my best wishes to you, Windy. Here's hoping you have a speedy recovery
Jillianne Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Congratulations Carole! Best of luck with the treatment!
MarcM Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 Marc, that's a photo of the band GWAR wearing yet another set of freaky costumes. These guys are like the horror counterpart of Spinal Tap. Thanks Cosmo! Again, I was making an attempt at humor which, evidently, does not translate well on a thread. Oh well. I like the way you describe stuff to me, even though it makes me feel like grandpa!
cosmosis Posted September 4, 2004 Report Posted September 4, 2004 LMAO Well, Marc, this time I tried to casually talk about it ang gave my opinion, just in case you knew about them
MarcM Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 Everything I know about GWAR, I learned from Beavis & Butthead!
MindCrime Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 Didn't GWAR also do porn clips for some amateur movie? I remember hearing about this a long time ago, I also saw them appear on Sally Jessie Raphael, on an episode that dealt with Musical Violence. They really stuck it to her for the music industry.
