Search Results

And now that I think about it, I think the Enhanced Search (or Elasticsearch) add-on is disabled for the time being, so that may also explain it. If you look here, you'll see that the Enhanced Search add-on adds a Relevance option under Order By, selected by default, at least on XenForo, which currently isn't showing here.

Here is what I get:

The forum is being a little slow today, so perhaps that's playing a role. I also know Denis (@Blaine) was getting errors with the Enhanced Search add-on, an official add-on by XenForo, so perhaps some cache needs to be rebuilt in the ACP. I'm faily sure it's still enabled; otherwise, we would have to try several times as the default XenForo search system can't handle large forums.

What parameters are you using in your search? Let me see if I can replicate it.

@Blaine: I appear to be getting emails now.

So it's likely not a dust issue, then?

First day of summer means a new wallpaper.

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, it's still effect for those who observe it. We go back to standard time the first Sunday of November. Anyway, if you go here, is the time zone set to Arizona? It should be respecting the fact that you don't observe DST, especially on XenForo because when someone registers it automatically sets their time zone based on their computer settings.

I'm confused now. Your title says 10:30 PM, but your last reply said 10:34 AM, though I now see you edited it to PM.

My vacation question came from the fact that, like I said, your local time says otherwise, making me wonder if you're on vacation in a different time zone.

Your title says otherwise.

So, are you on vacation, then?

Don't you mean 11:30 PM (or, to be technical, 11:32 PM)? Your local time shows that you're an hour ahead of me, because it's 10:34 PM for me. Although the weather isn't quite so extreme for me: https://weather.com/weather/today/l/USWA0130:1:US

Mom is starting chemotherapy in two weeks just to ensure that there aren't traces of cancer cells that still lying around; if there are, they'll be neutralized. She had stage three colon cancer due to the fact that two of the sixty lymph nodes that were removed for sampling contained cancer cells, those two being the closest to the mass that was completely obstructing her.

However, in general, everything went a lot better than the surgeon at Virginia Mason in Seattle expected. I mean, it had started to spread, I guess, but it wasn't at critical levels yet. The oncologist said she is going to be fine and there's really nothing to worry about. However, had the doctor here in Ellensburg been more on top of things, she wouldn't have gotten cancer in the first place.

In July 2014, she was scheduled for a colonoscopy just as a regular checkup; they found a polyp and got some tissue and sent it to radiology. The results came back as benign, so she scheduled another colonoscopy the following month to have the polyp removed. Well, the doctor wanted to have her to come in for a third colonoscopy (and you're only supposed to have them about once every ten years after a certain age) I think to make sure that he got it all or for another reason. Well, he didn't make it sound serious enough, so she just blew it off thinking he was just trying to get more money out of her and thought everything was fine. In addition, she hates the prep.

In April of this year, she started noticing cramping in her abdominal area that started getting worse, so she went in to the doctor. They found traces of blood in her stool, I think, and so her doctor scheduled her for a colonoscopy. They found a mass (or a polyp), and in about a year and a half, it had already gotten bigger than her previous polyp. Not only that, but the polyp she first had was called villous according to the doctor's notes and a resection was a possibility from way back then if the polyp had come back, even if it wasn't cancerous. It's the type of polyp that's benign the first time, but has a tendency to come back and just about always comes back cancerous.

Results came back, showing that her lymph nodes, liver, and lungs were all clear. However, other results that came back after showed cancer cells in the mass and she was this close to scheduling the surgery for resection here in Ellensburg, especially after the pathologist here, while he didn't recommend or suggest it, said she could wait as much as two months. She then decided to get a second opinion at Virginia Mason and set up what she thought was just going to be an appointment on May 16. She later called me while I was on the commuter and we just had gotten on the freeway, telling me that she had been admitted into the hospital. The doctor's assistant was pretty sure the doctor was going to admit her and told her that. Then the doctor said, "You've been through enough. Let us take care of you." Surgery was on May 20, and she was released on May 26. All the cancer cells were contained and removed, but, again, they just want to do the chemotherapy, especially because it was stage three, not stage two like she was told here in Ellensburg.

We're kind of peeved because the whole situation could have been avoided and she would have just had a normal resection and that would have been it. She's going to be talking to an attorney. The pain she was experiencing was due to the fact that the colon was pulling itself through itself like a sock--otherwise known as an Intussusception--because it thought the mass was stool and was trying to push it through, but couldn't. This is something that's very common in kids, but not adults. They then did a procedure to straighten out the colon or otherwise they would have had to remove more of it. My mom watched the procedure and saw just how much it moved back. She felt the mass move all the way from her left side and bump against her rib cage on the right side.

As for the surgery itself, the location of the mass was the transverse colon on her right--I guess the transverse colon in general is a more common breeding ground for cancer to form because it's where stool really takes its shape--so they removed her cecum, ascending colon, and part of her transverse colon, including margins of healthy colon for safety, which comes to about one half. It seems like a lot, but the left side of colons are longer because of the sigmoid colon. I don't know if that means that they rearranged the colon so its shape is generally the same as before the resection and if that also means that her transverse colon--the part that she still has--is now her ascending colon, her descending colon is now her transverse colon, her sigmoid colon is now her descending colon, and nothing is her sigmoid colon. I'm not exactly sure how it all works. I just know that her cecum, ascending colon, and part of her transverse colon were removed.

Do I need to call the suicidal hotline, 61?

Uh-oh! It's Mush! Run for the hills!

Done. Just need a reply.

Edit: Never mind. I did not receive an email in regard the post made in Atsuki's introduction thread a few minutes ago.

What a gentleman you are, Burnitup.
