Posthawk
Канада
Добавлен 28 авг 2020
I'm Mike. In 2016 I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia which required an allogenic stem cell transplant. I was hit particularly hard with graft-versus-host disease which facilitated the complete destruction of my lungs. Subsequently, I received a double lung transplant in 2019. The name 'Posthawk' symbolizes my journey after these events. It's a creative twist on the Latin term 'posthoc,' meaning 'after this'.

Must’ve been very scary for everyone around, good thing they got all this awesome footage so you could make a great video out of a horrific accident! 😉
They ever find out why you oassed out in the first place? Absolutely brutal day. At least you recorded it. This will be fun to look back on once its all over
I have an appointment this afternoon about a blood pressure medication I started a few months ago. Hopefully I can get some answers.
Best of luck and I will see you there!!! ( liver /kidney) recipient)
See you there!!
I guess visiting family in ICU does wonders. We're doing that for our dad right now. Thanks.
Hello Mike, first of all, I loved the editing and professionalism of the video! Unfortunately, my English isn't very good, so I couldn't understand much. I have a few questions. Firstly, I had a bone marrow transplant in 2015. For the past 4-5 years, I've been suffering from severe dry eyes. My eyes are constantly red and irritated. I've tried every treatment, but haven't had any results. In the video, you mentioned that scleral lenses might work, right? If they did work, I have a few questions. Unfortunately, the doctors in my country aren't very knowledgeable about scleral lenses. Most people recommend Prose brand scleral lenses. Is the brand important for scleral lenses? Also, is your lens HydraPEG coated? My last question is, was your lens custom-made for your eye? I would be very happy if you could answer these questions 😊
Thanks for watching! I'm pretty sure I have the Prose brand scleral lenses but I wasn't 100% sure which is why I didn't say for certain in the video. As for the HydraPEG coated lenses I'm not sure if they are; I will ask at my next appointment. The lenses were custom made. It took about 2 to 3 appointments to get them to fit right.
@@michaelcook4237 Firstly, I know that the Prose brand is only available in the US. Did you get it in the US? Also, why did you take 2-3 appointments for delivery? Is taking custom measurements for the eye a challenging process? Also, how long does a scleral lens last? I live in Turkey, and doctors here do not recommend scleral lenses for dry eyes because they are not familiar with them. I've been suffering from irritated and bloodshot eyes for four years. I have a doctor's appointment next week. Hopefully, they will have knowledge about scleral lenses. wish luck to me 🙂
@@LiffeDesign I got my lenses in Canada. It took several appointments because they scan my eyes and adjust the lenses accordingly. I would wear them for a couple weeks and then go back and adjust. When the fit wasn't perfect the lenses would get cloudy throughout the day and I would have to take them off. It's not a challenging process at all I just sit there while they scan my eyes. My previous lenses lasted about 4 years so they're pretty durable. Good luck!!
Herpes has been one of the most significant virus in the US now, and it's spreading really fast, and the government are only producing medical drugs that can suppress it but rather keep on eliminating the Africa herbal Doctors who were able to discover a way to completely cure the virus.... I'm delighted to be finally Cured of herpes 2 after I applied Dr Alaka herbal medication for just three weeks, he also have herbal remedies for chronic illnesses!!! God bless #dralakaherbs for his wonderful works.

vegetarian, meat eater, omnivore? what does that have to do with anything? You literally just created the worst analogy ever. Bro, just stop talking.
Diet compatibility.. blood type compatibility. It's an analogy 🤦♀️
Huh????
