Time for the trip of a lifetime @nta, get a couple bags!
I ate Dicks in Seattle. Tasted really good
That's where @Kruse is based right...
Haven't eaten any Dicks yet - but doing my drivers license test next Thursday, so once I've got that... options open up.
Never thought that eating Dicks would be on my list, but... should probably give it a go if the chance presents. -

So sorry to read about that massive kick in the nuts @NTA. Even just all the waiting and anguish that goes with it must have been awful. But despite your many flaws you are undeniably an extremely tough and strong individual both in mind and body. If anyone can smash this thing its you.
And on the bright side you can use this to get plenty of sympathy sex from the wife.
You got this Mate👊

Sorry to hear that, Nick. That's a real bugger..
Ask the All Blacks to lose the Bledisloe 😉
Yet, for some strange reason, I get the sense you're not going to let it take over your life if you have anything to do with it.... 😉

Awful news, hoping what others are posting about new treatments are on the money.
mental state probably explains why you're now watching the Eels though
Seriously you're due for a change in luck.. -

@Victor-Meldrew I just got an SMS yesterday from Triumph-of-Seattle - telling me my GT-Air 3 Nile has arrived and is ready for pickup.
Now I just need a fucking licence.
(Oh - BTW - helmet cost 25% more than it would have in NZ. I won't hypothesise as to why, sullying this thread with politics) -

@Victor-Meldrew
Shit - that's actually about the same as price in US - slightly more in fact. Guess I can't blame tariffs for it after all.
Never bought just a visor - but that does remind me to look into whether tinted visors are even legal here or not. -

Well, just to fuck life up when things seemed to be getting on track after the recent episode:
Boxing Day 2023 I woke up with a bit of vision loss in my left eye. Hospital is always fun that time of year (not) and after spending most of the next day there and running all sorts of tests, they decided to pump me with steroids and sent me off to see a Neuro-Opthamologist.
The diagnosis was optic neuritis. But they wanted to know what was causing it.
And today - after over a year of mostly waiting between tests - the same specialist reckons the diagnosis is Multiple Sclerosis.
Now for another MRI to see if it has advanced, so we can look at treatment options from there.
Given the extended and repeated kicks in the balls our family has received over the past 8 years, I fully expect to win the lottery any minute now.
On the plus side, the doc said it was caught very early and treatments were becoming more and more effective. We're a long way from people being wheelchair-bound by the time they're 50 (I'm turning 49 in June).
He's talking 10-20 years before any impacts to lifestyle at the moment, but needs the next round of tests before being sure.
I've got 5 caps to get for the rugby club to get above two other blokes (absolute peanuts) who don't deserve to be there TBH, and then refereeing. A trip to Europe and other shit once my daughter finishes school this year.
Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'
Nick, just read this. Keep on keeping on, lots to live for mate. Cliche I know but wordiness is not my strong suit. All the very best. You’re a good person.
