Music - Whats your flavor?



Recommended Posts

I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of music you all are listening to. I personally am a huge fan of the Moody Blues, they would have to be my tip top all time favorite band.

After that, I like almost all classic rock. Tom Petty, Eagles, Foghat, Ozzy!

And am also VERY into Oakenfold, Sasha, Digweed, PVD.. if you know the names, you know the genre. *grins*

You left out Delerium and Conjure One dear :)

Now if I could just get her to leave the damn Elton John out of her playlist, I'd be a happy dawg.

For everyone else. My tastes mirrow P'Nuts (I know, you are all surprised). I also prefer more hardcore tunes from Front Line Assembly, Prodigy, Drum N' Base (Dieselboy, AK1200). Basically, if it moves a glass over my desk by pure sound waves, it works.

I like classic rock, southern rock, 80's metal & yes, some country in small doses. I even listen to rap & classical. I like all music really. But I tend to gravitate toward the classic & southern rock.

I love folkey, acoustic kind of stuff but generally Australian - Paul Kelly, Deborah Conway, not sure if any of them would even be heard of in the States. Love John Butler.

I grew up on Country music but dont like it so awfully much, it's Ok but I'd never listen to it on purpose.

I love good Aussie pub rock, bands like Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, again Australian artists you may not have even heard of.

I do like most things, everyday pop - its pretty good. I like Greenday and Maroon 5 a lot, but will listen to nearly anything. We have a pretty eclectic CD collection. I wouldnt say I like a particular "style" of music just that certain artists appeal and they're all very different.

I loathe stadium rock though - bands like Bon Jovi, and those bleeding heart rock ballads, ugh.

All-time favorites include Violent Femmes, 311, Smashing Pumpkins, early NIN, Pixies, Ministry (Land of... and Psalm 69 - fantastic), Butthole Surfers, Siouxie, Primus... the list goes on.

Really, I'll listen to anything that isn't rap, country, or euro beat.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
