Aww thanks! Back is already feeling better, though still sore.

Eh, MRI's aren't bad. Just lay in a tube for 45 minutes while giant magnets whir around and take images of the brain / body.

The prolactinoma is benign, but screws with hormones a lot. Prolactin being the inverse of dopamine and testosterone explains a lot about the last several years, so glad to be getting back to normal. Thankfully, the excess prolactin has never caused me to lactate either, which is a common symptom of high prolactin.

Thankfully got to spice up the weekend with a guys' night, so that was fun.

Getting an MRI to see if my prolactinoma has shrunk.

100%.

It's kind of like designing Lego but with weldments, extruded aluminum, cylinders, servos, and any other number of components.

I'm a Mechanical Engineer who designs automation equipment. Basically lots of 3-6 axis robots, multi-axis gantries, various conveyance mechanisms, and other specialized automation equipment integration. Its fun because it is a job all about things moving from point A to point B.

This is my first dip into the fediverse.

I have no interest in a personal page like twitter or facebook / meta, so no plans for mastadon as well.

That said, can someone ELI5 the difference between Lemmy and Kbin?

Is there a reference for all the fediverse places outside of those mentioned above?

We are laying low this summer. Simply saving up for a bigger vacation in a year or 2.

That said, we still plan to bring the kiddo to an amusement park, some hikes, and Michigan Renaissance Festival.

This is what I've been doing as well. Still postponing final fight until all shrines found and some side adventures completed.
