Spinner of yarns here to talk about WIP, books I'm loving, and probably wrestling, Sabres hockey, and Purdue sports.

Just perfect stuff. A career full of pinfall losses, then to go out on your back tapping, loved it.

Can confirm this was incredibly difficult to diagnose. Months and months and months of labs, consults, and allergy tests. And finally a doc said "I read about alpha gal a few weeks ago and that's all that is left." So, here we are 6 years later.

!!! I was bitten by one of these a few years ago. Haven't been able to eat red meat since without getting horribly sick.

I work in ortho spine, we see these calls way too much now for pts that NEED care. Probably 4 or 5 P2Ps a day. And it didn't used to be like that. Even as recently as 2 years ago I think we fielded maybe 1 or 2 a day. The restrictions have gotten INSANE.

Also, as a California State rep pointed out a few months ago, there were more kids with measles in Texas (by a LARGE margin) than there are trans athletes in HS sports nationally. I don't know why that's not the messaging. It's a non-issue.
