What's going on everybody.
Welcome to the Clydesdale
media weight loss journey
special edition.
What the hell just happened.
We're going to talk about
kind of what happened over
the last couple weeks,
and kind of see how
nutrition can play a role,
and all that kind of stuff so.
I am still pretty much under the weather.
I was just telling Cheryl
just to get down here to
kind of hook everything up
and get everything going.
takes a lot out of me and
this is probably the last
show I'm going to do until
I get some kind of relief
or some answers or anything
like that um until we so we
can move forward but I want
this to be interactive I
want you guys in the chat
to ask questions I'll
answer them to the best of
my ability um with that
I'll turn it over to share
and kind of lead the discussion
Yeah.
Well, really,
have you recapped anything
from what's happened in
terms of your hospital or anything?
I'm sure you guys didn't
have a roundtable this week,
but I know you had a couple
of other podcasts.
So why don't you just start
with what prompted you to
go to the hospital?
Well,
I think we go back to the last time
we did a show when I went
to my family doctor that day.
Yep.
That was last week, last Thursday,
last Tuesday.
So last Tuesday,
I went to my family doctor.
That is where he diagnosed
me with a lung infection.
But he didn't run any tests.
He didn't.
So through this whole thing,
I got really pissed off at
the way my family doctor
has been treating me.
And, um, when I went into his office,
like I was in full blown asthma attack,
could barely breathe.
The only thing like they
really said to me is put on
this mask because people are,
are scared of you.
COVID.
I'm dying.
I don't know who's mask on.
I can't breathe, but.
And so I can't breathe.
So put something over your mouth.
It just was dumb.
Um,
But anyway, he diagnosed me with that,
threw some prescriptions at
me where one was a steroid,
one was an antibiotic.
And with that, I came home.
We had our show.
I had my breakdown.
Things weren't going well.
But then I started to feel a
little bit better.
The steroids or whatever did
what they did.
And then on that Friday,
things started to slide and
pretty much went off a
cliff by Saturday morning.
And I could barely breathe.
And my wife's like,
we got to go to the hospital, to the ER.
So we walked outside.
I tried to get in the car,
had a full-blown panic attack,
which I've never had in my life.
I could not get into my car.
I talked for weeks about
this gas that's been forming.
So my stomach has distended
out like inches at this point.
Every time I tried to crunch into the car,
it felt like it was
shutting off my airway.
So it took some time to just
kind of like relax for a second.
We opened up the sunroof,
opened up all the windows.
I got back in the car.
Thank God it was only 10 minutes.
We got to the ER.
And here in Ohio,
we have ERs that are
separate from the hospitals.
So it'd be like an urgent
care on steroids.
If that makes sense.
Like they have, they have imaging,
they have x-ray,
they have all that stuff.
So we go in,
my wife tells him he's having
a hard time breathing.
They gave me a wheelchair.
They take me back within 10 minutes,
15 tests done like that fast.
So from my family doctor who
sucked balls at taking care
of me to an ER who doesn't
even know me doing like the
greatest care I've ever seen.
And they hooked me up to an EKG,
diagnosed me with the AFib immediately.
And then started running tests,
chest x-ray, chest CT, stomach x-ray,
stomach CT, blood work out the wazoo.
And that's when, like,
just incrementally as we
were sitting in the ER,
more and more bad news is coming in.
Because everything kind of led to...
other things going wrong.
What was the chicken and what was the egg?
I have no idea.
But my heart rate was 150 to
165 beats a minute and it was irregular.
Then I had blood sugar of 380.
I had
Of course,
I had high blood pressure
because I was just having
an anxiety attack.
I'm still coughing,
spitting up this stuff that
I've been dealing with for
two years that my family
doctor kept putting off.
So, um, we go through a bunch of tests.
They start putting me on meds.
Um, they're monitoring my heart.
They're trying to get it to
go back in rhythm by medicine.
Um, it's after hours, it's not going back.
And like,
we knew we were going to need to
transfer you to a full blown hospital.
My wife and I have to make
the selection because we're
kind of like in between all
the three major hospitals
associated with this ER.
We decided to go to like the
Northern small town version,
which was God's work
because it was amazing.
But I didn't, they couldn't come get me.
They couldn't get a
transport to me till five
o'clock in the morning.
Oh, wow.
So I sat in the ER by myself
till five in the morning,
waited for the Ambo to come,
got put in the Ambo, uh,
taken up to Delaware, Ohio, uh,
to Grady Memorial hospital,
where then I was admitted.
And then they hooked me up
to an EKG machine
permanently for my stay.
Lots of IVs, lots of needles,
lots of pokes, way more tests.
And I'll stop there and just
take a pause if anybody has
any questions.
Well,
I think the main thing is heart
condition.
How has that been?
Did you get any feedback
from the echo and everything?
Is everything with your heart good?
Yeah,
everything is normal with my heart
other than the beat, the rhythm.
Okay, so nothing,
there's been no strain there.
The lungs are still,
you were diagnosed with pneumonia too,
correct?
Yes.
Okay, so you have lung infection,
pneumonia.
They have you on antibiotics?
They did.
Okay, and they took you off the pred?
They took me off the pred.
Okay, you're still on antibiotics?
Today was my last one.
Okay.
I'm looking at there.
Mostly people are just
commenting on the fact that
it's hard to find good doctors.
It truly is.
It's really hard to find doctors.
And it's so important that
we learn to be advocates for ourselves.
In fact, a lot of times what I do is...
I just had a woman come to me.
It's like,
it's so hard because they run
basic lab tests.
And if you're not sick, you're okay.
They don't think about optimal.
They wait until you're
literally like you on your
deathbed to be like, hey,
we should probably do something.
You know, your red flags were last year.
Last year when the sinus
stuff was getting that bad
that you couldn't sleep.
And then you had the sinus
surgery and it still wasn't
getting better.
you know, and it's just like,
and this is when I was at
my family doctor,
he gave me the prescriptions and said,
Hey, if it gets worse, go to the ER.
Like almost like, don't call me.
Yeah.
Just go to the ER.
Yeah.
It's just not cool.
So you have a new doctor, right?
Yeah.
I have not met her yet.
Okay.
All right.
So let's kind of just like, so, you know,
we chatted a little bit on Wednesday.
I wanted to check in on you.
And since you've been home,
obviously life is a little
bit scary right now.
I'm sure that like...
what you're dealing with I
mean you probably feel like
oh my god scared that you
can't breathe um obviously
going to the gym is off the
table so and like you just
mentioned walking down the
stairs is hard so how are
you getting around at home
like are you moving around
at all like are you trying
to get up and move because
that's also good for the
pneumonia like are you
getting up and trying to
sit up a little bit and move around
So I'm doing the best that I can.
I like,
I'm trying to take care of myself
and take that off my wife.
Yeah.
Um, where like I fixed lunch today.
Um, I've been doing my own breakfasts,
trying to like do that on my own,
on my own.
Um, but it's been,
it's been really difficult.
Like it takes just so much
out of me and the doctor
does not want my heart rate
elevated at all.
Yep.
I gotcha.
Okay.
I know you mentioned that
they have you on medication
now diabetes-wise.
Yeah,
they have me on a lot of medicine
right now.
Yeah.
So I learned through this
endeavor that prednisone
actually raises your blood sugar.
And the doctor I saw in the
ER said that your family
doctor should have known
that it's a risk if you were
ever a diabetic to put
someone on prednisone for
extended periods of time.
Yeah.
Well,
how long were you on the prednisone for?
So a long time.
If you count the sinus surgery in October,
then I was on prednisone
for that for like six weeks after that.
Then as things didn't heal
the right way and we were
trying to get rid of the cough part of it,
then my sinus doctor put me
on more prednisone.
Then the family doctor puts
me on more prednisone.
So I was on prednisone drops
and prednisone the pill.
Got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
And elevated blood sugar, just so you know,
also does weaken your immune system.
So like, that's also,
there's a direct correlation.
That's why diabetics are
also more prone to getting sick.
So kind of like,
it doesn't matter the chicken or the egg,
you've got a bunch of shit
going on right now.
So the medications you asked about,
metformin and insulin for the diabetes.
So fast acting metformin for
two meals a day, insulin for overnight,
And before I left the hospital,
I got the three 80 down to one 40.
It's,
and it's getting me off the prednisone.
Yeah.
Um,
and so then I have not been able to
read my sugar because they
prescribed me a monitor and
it's been out of stock for four days.
That's crazy.
So you don't even know what
your blood sugar is at.
With your blood sugar being that high,
are you getting symptoms?
So it's just hard because
this is the worst I've felt in my life.
So when I was a diabetic 14
years ago and got through
that and passed it,
like I knew what those feelings were.
I don't know what the
feelings are now because I
get heart flutters.
I get...
I'm out of breath.
You'll get like headaches,
kind of like blurred vision, um, feeling.
I did have a little bit of blurred vision.
I did not get to like,
like overwhelming thirst
that I had before.
And they asked me about that
in the hospital.
Did I get that?
And I never had did, um, uh,
So the only,
the only real diabetic kind of
like key was the,
a little bit of blurred vision.
Okay.
And how long you've been off
the prednisone for is only
for like a week, right?
Uh, Saturday.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um, it should start to come down.
I would think pretty quickly
once you're off of that.
So hopefully we'll be able
to get you back to regulated.
That's why I'm surprised.
My only surprise is that
they did put you on the
insulin and the metformin
if it was a pred-related
thing because- So this is
their reasoning.
They needed it down fast
because the biggest risk
with a fib is a stroke.
Right.
And diabetes contributes to
the possibilities of a stroke.
Yeah.
Anything that was related to, to pass,
like my,
my blood pressure was one 27 over
70 and they have me on a
blood pressure pill just to get it,
keep it and make sure it's
down because they have to
remove the risk of stroke.
Yep.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
So questions.
Kenneth has a question.
What is metformin?
I've heard my mom talk about it,
but never heard.
It is a drug for diabetes,
but primarily it does help
regulate blood sugar.
And there are two forms.
There's a fast acting and a slow acting.
Yeah.
But it's a pill.
I was on it back in 2010.
It's awful.
Yeah.
Um, so right now,
obviously our main concern
is getting the lungs back
up and running on a scale of one to 10.
Do you feel like there's any
improvement yet?
From, from Saturday?
Yes.
Okay, good.
It's probably going to be a
couple more weeks.
I would think before you're
like back to a hundred percent.
Um,
I would put it at a Saturday was like a
two.
Yeah.
I'd be maybe three and a half, four.
So my gut's telling me that
you've had this lung
infection for quite a while
and it's just been dormant.
Like you haven't had like
symptoms bad enough.
And that's kind of why you
haven't been feeling great.
But coupled with that,
your blood sugar may have
been elevated for a long
time if you've been on the
pred for a while.
And that could also have
been contributing to you
being more susceptible to being sick.
So it's like, again,
it's kind of these two
things that we have to really look at.
And what I want to really
focus on is getting the
blood sugar under control
while you're healing and
getting you feeling better.
You know, because nutritionally,
I think that there are some
things that we can do to
strengthen your immune system and,
you know,
obviously get the blood sugar
down that we spoke a little
bit about on Wednesday and, you know,
help get you feeling better quicker.
I don't know that you have
food related issues with
what's going on with your lungs.
Like there are some people where I'm like,
hey,
you might have these food
sensitivities with like
dairy and it's causing you
more sinus stuff.
The reason I don't think
that is because typically
people that have things
like that also experience
like skin related issues.
Um, like,
like eczema or like acne or other
things like that is usually
when there's like a dairy
issue or severe gut issues with dairy.
Like you have like things like that.
I don't think you have any of that.
I think this is truly you
having a weakened immune
system and your body's responding and
It could have been a little
bit of a combination of two.
But the main thing is our last episode,
you got pretty vulnerable with us.
And I think that the real question is,
is are you ready to like
put yourself first a little
bit in your life?
I am.
Yeah.
Did you guys have that talk?
We did.
We've yeah.
My wife and I have.
Yeah.
It's hard because my
sister's in surgery right now.
Like life doesn't stop because I'm sick.
She's having cancer removed as we speak.
Yeah.
So that is, that's going on right now.
We did get,
we did get good news on
mother-in-law that they're
going to be able to do some
stuff with medication as
opposed to chemo.
So that's good.
But like that, that stuff keeps going on,
but
What's happened to this whole thing is one,
I think it was a,
wake up call for not just for me,
but for my wife to see what
this did to me.
And so like she went out
today and got fresh vegetables,
some fresh fruit, um, at lunch,
we had a nice wrap for,
for lunch together.
Um, and it was really good.
Um,
and so she's ready to buy in to all
this now too.
Okay.
And,
I'm to the I'm pissed off.
Like and,
and maybe that's what I've needed
a long time is that chip on
my shoulder to like, now,
all I want to do all my
only goal in my head is I
want to get rid of all of
these prescriptions.
I want to check them off the box,
throw them in the trash and move on.
100% agree.
I think that nutrition is
something we need to address.
I think you're doing a
pretty good job this week.
So I think that going forward,
there's a couple of things
that I really want to
change about our check-ins
because I think that you've
kind of been deflecting
really going all in on nutrition.
taking care of yourself.
And so going forward before
every one of our calls,
I want that check-in form filled out.
I want to be able to take a
look at that beforehand,
and I want to pull it up on
our lives and be able to say, hey,
this is all the things that
you're reporting this week.
I want to pull up your food diary.
I don't want to see any more blank spots.
I'm also going to take some
responsibility for giving
you more freedom in not
taking control of some of that stuff.
because I trust you,
but I want to be able to be like, Hey,
like, no, I want to see fiber here.
I want to see these numbers here.
And I know that there was a
point that we talked about
stuff and you were like,
it's a little too overwhelming for me.
I just want to focus on the protein.
I just want to, and we backed off,
but I think that you need
to get it all under, under control.
It's time to like,
take this seriously because
I don't want to see you
sick again because
And I want to make sure that
you are making the right
kind of progress.
And right now, we can't make gym progress.
That's okay.
We can get you healthy
enough to get back to the gym.
And when you're cleared to
go back to the gym,
we'll talk about that then.
But that's the main thing.
Agreed.
Um,
so a couple of things I mentioned to
you on the call was really
wanting more fibrous carbs
and you're adding in more
fresh fruits and vegetables with,
I love what I love,
but here's what I just want
to kind of show you.
That's, and I'll pull it up.
Let me just, cause I want to be fully, Hey,
we're going to get rid of,
we're going to pull this
share screen up here, share screen.
Do I want to share the whole
entire screen?
All right, guys,
just don't judge the 5
million tabs I have open because I have,
you know,
ADHD and I have to have 5
million things open at all time.
Okay, so this is really my concern.
You see this number 12 here under fiber?
Okay, this is typical for you.
This day was a good day, 50 that day.
Today, you've only logged one meal, okay?
But you tend to be very low
on fiber.
And when you're eating low calories,
fiber is typically low
because when you're eating low carbs,
but when you're getting in
enough carbohydrates,
you want to make sure that
that fiber count is up.
So if you're eating,
let's call it 167 carbs,
but you're only getting 14 grams of fiber.
We want to really increase that.
And so what I really want
you focusing on right now
is that whenever you're
picking up any grain products,
you're looking for complex carbohydrates.
You're looking for high fiber carbs,
no white products,
because that's going to get more.
It's going to bring more
good gut bacteria into the gut,
which can help with the immune system.
It's going to help with digestion.
It's going to help with everything.
It's going to help with your blood sugar.
So we've really got to get
the fibrous carbs in and
the fruits and vegetables
are also a part of it as well.
Um, you know,
right now I know that you're
not moving a whole bunch.
So, you know,
calorically we might end up
changing things.
Uh,
so I do want you getting back to
weighing in just so I can
see what's going on with your weight.
You know, this way we can kind of say,
all right, here's where you're at.
Calorically,
we might have to change some
things a little bit because
it's also when it comes to blood sugar,
it's not just carbohydrates,
it's calories.
Uh,
and I want to talk about that for
people to understand, but yeah,
getting your calories where
they need to be for you to
obviously still see some,
some results is also important.
Um, I like that you're hydrating.
So making sure that you're
getting some electrolytes
in throughout your day, uh,
if you're getting in fruits
and vegetables, that's going to be good,
but that's going to be your
main focus right now is
really getting the diet dialed in.
Um, you know, still, we still be flexible.
You still go out for date night.
You still do those things,
but the majority of your food,
we really got to be
focusing on that stuff.
And that's what we're trying to do.
From the time we got back to the hospital,
we're cycling through the
grains we had to the grains
we're getting and doing all
that kind of stuff.
We're getting a winter
weather emergency tonight
due to four inches of snow.
So we got all that stuff
today to prep for the
weekend because we're
probably going to be snowed
in a little bit.
And...
And like,
I really made a conscious effort
yesterday to get like an apple in,
to get some stuff,
to get some good fiber in.
Today I had, um,
the Jimmy Dean's light
sandwich because it was a
whole wheat muffin.
Um, and I had some oatmeal today, um,
to try to up that.
We had a wrap for lunch with
vegetables throughout it.
So I'm really trying.
Yeah.
You didn't log your lunch yet.
So I don't know what that
was looking like.
So, but I know that your breakfast so far,
let me just, your breakfast was,
it's weird because it's showing up on.
Yeah.
Your breakfast had five grams of fiber.
So still not a whole bunch,
but it's still better than nothing.
You know,
and I think if you're depending
on what kind of wrap you had for lunch,
we're going to slowly start
to work on that.
You know,
like that's the stuff that you
can kind of work on.
So like,
does oatmeal add any fiber at all?
Yeah.
Oatmeal's got good fiber in it.
Yep.
Look at the package.
I,
and I'll send you my high fiber food
list again, but, um,
there's also like different brands too,
but like, that's just,
you want to look for all of those, um,
fiber sources.
Jeff asked about your protein source.
Yes.
Um,
he had the Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich.
It wasn't a whole bunch of protein,
but it was still a
relatively balanced meal.
He had, you know,
22 grams of protein this morning.
So you're probably going to
be playing a little bit of
catch up on protein.
So, but yeah.
So I think that the main
thing is getting you back
to some structure,
keeping your stress levels down.
So stress also raises your blood sugar,
by the way, people.
So people that focus on diet
stress and cortisol levels.
Jack up your blood sugar as well.
So we want to make sure
we're doing that movement wise.
I think that for you this week,
because you really can't work out,
I think that, well,
you can't get your heart rate up.
I think that every time you
eat also after you eat,
like either doing like a 10 minute,
like very easy,
just walk it around your house.
You could even pedal easy on
your bike at a walking pace.
Like you can do that as well.
You know,
like just something to get some
blood flow into your body.
Um,
and then I think the other thing is
mobility.
You don't want to get tight hips and tight,
all these things.
So even though you can't
work out right now,
those are things that you can be doing.
So I think that you can kind of,
as you're starting to feel a bit better,
just making sure that
you're stretching a little bit,
not getting too tight,
sitting all day and all
that kinds of stuff.
Yeah.
The hardest part right now is
that gas pushing on my
stomach and it's pushing on
my excess skin.
It's like a weird dynamic I have going on.
And every time I stand up,
like it is burp city, um,
to just kind of be, get comfortable.
And then, so yeah, the mobility,
I need to try that and just
see if it'll help.
What are they saying that
the burping is just from the, uh,
the pressure and the, from the lungs?
Uh, I were,
there's a scope ordered already
for my esophagus and stomach.
Uh, we, I just haven't had it yet.
Okay.
Um, let me just take a look at something.
Is the burping and stuff
worse at certain times of the day?
No.
Just all throughout the day.
Yep.
Taking a look at things.
How much water are you drinking?
We are, we're transparent on the show.
Yeah.
If I go to the bathroom and
have a bowel movement, it's better.
Okay.
And it's a relief for a few hours.
All right.
How much water are you drinking a day?
Quite a bit.
Like pretty much stop drinking.
Anything but.
But it doesn't matter.
You're drinking hydrating.
You're drinking at least 100
ounces of fluid.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Let's give it a couple of days and seeing.
I'm hoping that maybe with
the lung infection getting better,
but I'm just wondering if
there's not something going
on with your stomach.
Are you still taking any supplements?
No,
I went off those with all the
prescriptions just till I
can get regulated.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Cause I am, I'm, I am a little bit,
the burping stuff has got
me a little puzzled because your food,
nothing that what you're
eating is like really like
sticking out to me is like,
that's what's causing it.
That's why I was wondering
if maybe it's a reaction
from what's going on with the lung.
Cause it kind of,
they kind of went hand in
hand that that started to
get bad when you started to get sick.
So I'm just wondering if it
might just be from that, you know, the,
the lung infection.
So what I have outstanding
is I have a scope on my
throat and stomach coming.
I have cardiology on Monday, um, to talk,
to have another EKG and to
see what the next steps are
for the heart and then new
family doctor next Friday.
Okay.
And I know you mentioned
full transparency.
Are you going to the
bathroom more than normal?
No.
Okay.
Less than normal.
Less than normal.
Okay.
Let's really try and push the fiber up.
Let's see if it doesn't help a little bit.
The other thing, you know what?
Actually.
I do have a fiber supplement.
No,
I don't want you to be a fiber
supplement.
No.
You know what I want you to
do this week for the gut?
Let's go ahead and take down
the fat intake.
So you've been pretty high on fat.
Uh,
I want you to utilize in the numbers
that I have in trainer eyes,
one 85 protein, one 85 carbs and 65 fat.
I don't want you going over
70 fat this week.
And I want to see if that
helps with the gut.
Okay.
So, uh,
cause sometimes you might be having
a gall related issue,
a gallbladder related issue.
And let's just see if
there's not something going on with that.
So let's lower the fat intake this week,
like starting today.
They did mention that at
some point during the
weekend or when I was in
the hospital about my gallbladder.
Well, see,
maybe I should just become a physician.
I mean...
go back to school and be a
doctor uh no let's let's
take the fat intake down
because your fat intake has
been a little bit high
let's try and get it to
around like 60 to 70 don't
go over 70 and see if it
doesn't help with the with
the gut stuff uh so jay
birch asks are you gulping
air in an effort to breathe.
I'm not, thank goodness.
Um, thank goodness.
The, the sinuses have cleared.
Like I can breathe freely through my nose.
It is much easier to breathe
through my nose now than it is my mouth.
That's good.
It gets you doing some nasal
breathing exercises when, uh,
you get back in the gym.
So Carolyn giving you props.
Yeah.
I could be a doctor, Dr. Cheryl, Dr. Naso.
That sounds like a scary
movie doctor's name, like, you know,
like Dr. Giggles, Dr. Naso.
But, but yeah, no,
I think that let's lower your,
let's lower your fat intake
and up the fiber and obviously protein.
How is your sleep?
When I sleep, it's,
it's deeper now than it's been in years.
Um, but then I'll like wake up,
have to clear my throat, do some stuff.
And then my mind is playing
awful tricks on me.
Um, and I get some anxiety,
which I have never had.
So, um, like last night, this is a,
a great example of how my nights go.
Went to bed at 10, woke up at two 30.
had to clear my throat, had to pee,
do that kind of stuff.
I come to go back into,
to bed and then I can hear
every little wheeze in my,
in my throat and it starts
freaking me out.
And then I,
I get to a point where I feel
like I can't breathe.
And so I get up and then I
go downstairs and I sleep sitting up.
Yeah.
When do you go back to work?
I went back today.
Okay.
How'd that go?
Okay.
It's a, it's a holiday weekend for us.
So there were,
there was nobody in the office.
It was like the perfect day to go back.
Presidency weekend, right?
Yep.
Okay.
Uh, I've never tried a CPAP machine.
I've never been diagnosed
with sleep apnea.
Um, but it has been mentioned this week.
And so I,
when I get to my new family doctor,
that might be something
that is ordered a sleep test.
All right.
Um, yeah, but see,
you don't report like
waking up feeling tired or groggy.
You always seem to sleep well.
So, um,
I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
Like you've never really been like, Oh,
my sleep sucks.
But I will tell you this.
I'm having this weird side
effect where when I close my, my eyes,
I like,
I get these visions of what I
think my surroundings should be.
And I can like see it brushed out.
And it is the weirdest thing ever.
Never had that happen before.
Not on a psychedelic.
I know WAD Zombies coming in with that.
And then what it does is it
makes me nod off because I
want to stay to see the
painting finished.
That's crazy.
You're going crazy, Scott.
I'm just kidding.
And what's funny is I've had
a lot of people from around
the world DM me that they
have the same thing I have.
And they all talk about that
until it's fixed, I will not off.
It is just, you're so tired.
It just, but I don't, I don't,
I'm afraid to ask them,
did you have visions of
things before you nodded off?
Were you seeing things?
Were you like going crazy?
No.
No, I feel like,
I feel like this was a
little bit of the wake up
call you needed.
So I feel like hopefully
we'll be able to get you in the clear.
When is your first doctor's
visit with your new doctor?
Next Friday.
Okay.
So we have about a week.
Yeah.
Hopefully,
hopefully by then you'll be
feeling a little bit better.
And then again,
the EKG cardiology is Monday.
Okay.
Well,
hopefully I would ask the
cardiologist just like,
Are you cleared for any movement yet?
You know, how, how mentally, mentally,
how are you feeling right now?
For me to,
to even think about doing any
kind of major movement.
I don't even know how I would do it.
Yeah.
Like the way I feel right now.
I'm not talking about major movement.
I'm talking about walking.
I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm saying.
Like walking out to the,
get the mail about wrecks me.
Agreed.
I'm sure it does.
But what I want to make sure
of is that when you're cleared for it,
that you're doing it
because it's not going to
feel good when you first
start doing it again.
And I get it.
You don't want to do it
before the doctor says to you,
but you don't want to be
one of those people that's like, oh,
it's going to really suck.
It's going to really suck
for the first couple of days.
We just want to make sure
you're cleared for it first.
Do I wear a smartwatch?
So yes, I have one.
But I lost the charger at Legends.
So I need to order a new charger.
Don't you have a loop strap?
No.
You got rid of it?
Long time ago.
Well, that would track your sleep too.
I actually have a watch.
So you just want to wear
your watch instead.
Yeah, it tracks sleep.
It does everything the Whoop did,
and I didn't have to pay monthly.
I don't think my Apple Watch
tracks my sleep as good as
my Whoop strap does.
I don't have an Apple Watch.
What kind of watch did you have?
It's like a GPS.
It's called Asunto.
Okay.
Yeah,
I feel like my Apple Watch tells me
that I sleep like a champ,
but my Whoop tells me when
I sleep like shit,
and my Whoop is usually right.
If I can feel the difference.
So, yeah.
Yeah, I feel like.
Yeah, it's just like a Garmin,
but it's this brand.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't watch nothing
tracking anything I do.
I don't watch nothing tracking anything.
Apple Watch can tell the time at least.
That's pretty much all I use
my Apple Watch for.
That and my steps.
I really don't even use it
for anything else.
It's just kind of a... You know,
the reason I got it was
when I first got my Apple Watch,
I was looking for... I had a Garmin.
And the reason I didn't get
another Garmin was because
the battery kept dying so quickly.
It was like my third one and
it would last for like a year.
And then all of a sudden,
the Garmin battery would
start dying like half a day.
So when I was getting a new watch,
the reason I got the Apple watch,
I was like, oh, cool.
Like I can use this for my music.
I don't have to use my phone.
So like when I go on a run,
I don't have to use it.
But they get you because you
only can do that if you buy
the freaking data plan.
And I'm like,
I'm not paying an extra 15
bucks a month for a data
plan for my phone, for my watch.
Come on, really?
So I didn't ever get it.
Never.
So I had an Apple Watch
years ago when I traveled
the state for my job.
And I did it because so I
could see a text message,
see if it was important or
not without pulling my phone out.
But then I realized like,
was becoming rude like I'd
be talking to somebody and
look down at my watch
rather than and pay
attention to the watch
rather than the person I'm
talking to yeah and so I
was like this is dumb and I
just got rid of it I don't
even look at my text
messages on my watch like
ever the only time I really
did was when I was at
wadapalooza because my
freaking phone was dying
and I'm like stop opening
your phone it's just making
it worse and that's when I
was using my watch more than anything
so kenneth what happened was
as I was in the hospital
and the care was so good I
cannot say enough about the
staff at this hospital in
delaware it was awesome I
said to them I don't trust
my doctor anymore I don't
want my stuff sent to him
but I don't know what to do
because I don't know how to
find a new one while I'm
laid up in bed so they set
me up with a counselor at the hospital
they got me a new doctor and
I am meeting with her next
Friday for the first time.
So I will have a brand new
family practitioner, um, next Friday.
Good stuff.
And we'll be on again for Tuesday, right?
You want to do it again Tuesday?
Again,
I think this is my last show until I
can get more confident
going up and down the stairs.
So we're not doing a show next Tuesday.
Well, we may,
if I feel better after the cardiologist.
Okay.
Um, regardless,
I want to make sure we
check in somehow with everybody.
So if it's me,
then I'll do it just so that
they can kind of see your
check-in what you've
reported and that you're
being honest with
everything and that you're
taking care of yourself.
Cause I want that for you.
I have not rescheduled any
of my shows until I start feeling better.
Okay.
Well, regardless,
I'll make sure there's an
update on Tuesday,
even if it's me doing a
solo something with your check-in.
But we'll do something.
Or if we have to wait until
next Friday after your
doctor's appointment that day,
if that would be a better day, you think.
But let's make sure we keep
everybody updated in the loop.
Okay.
Alrighty.
Sounds good.
And you like my new Chicago bears?
I'm looking at that.
I'm looking at your hat.
I'm like,
he's just all sports sports down today.
My wife Valentine's gift.
Nice.
Nice.
Awesome.
I think I'm going to go over to,
there's a little Italian
festival here today.
I might go over and take a
look over there.
All the Italian stuff's going on.
You have fun in that Florida weather.
It's very nice here today.
It's beautiful out.
I'm not even going to lie.
I was outside a little while
ago and I'm like, oh,
it's a perfect day to be outside.
Yeah.
I'll be in my snow globe in Ohio.
In your snow dungeon, in your igloo.
All right, guys.
Well,
if you have any questions for what's
going on or
Anything that we talked about today,
make sure to DM Cheryl or myself.
I will keep you up to date
as much as possible.
And I want to thank,
from the bottom of my heart,
every single one of you
that has reached out to me through DM,
through comments, through text.
It's overwhelming,
the outpouring of love that
I felt and received during this week.
There's times where you
wonder like if you're
making an impact with
anything that you do.
Like I got a freaking card
from CrossFit wishing me well.
And that they're in my corner.
I could not believe it.
Like that just blew me away.
Um,
but the people that have gone through
this,
that are sharing their stories with
me are helping so much.
Um, and what, what to expect, uh,
what's going on.
The prayers that everybody's
sending me are awesome.
Um, I love you all.
Um,
I love this community and I can't wait
to be back.
stronger and better than
ever to hang out with you
guys for a long time going
forward as I get healthy.
So with that, thank you a bunch.
Love you all.
And we will see you next
time on the Clydesdale
media weight loss journey.
