A day or so when I was in the hospital last summer. I hadn't eaten before going to the gym, then got shot after working out, then had to wait forever for surgery, then woke up late that night after 5 hrs of surgery.
Where can I read about the master cleanse? It takes 3 days of not eating to break up post traumatic arthritis that happens from injuries. I've had some injuries!!
Yeah I was in the BART station parking lot in Oakland when some dude tried to rob me as I was starting my car. I grabbed the gun and we struggled with it and it went off as I hit the gas. Went through the webbing of one hand, into my other arm and traveled all the way up from my wrist to above my elbow. Shattered my radius bone but didn't cut the nerves or anything else (well it cut the tendons too). Still hurts but I got so amazingly lucky.
Six days. But I was drinking soda water with a little bit of grape juice or apple juice mixed in the entire time. The first two days were the toughest. By the sixth day, it was so easy I figured I'd better stop just to be safe.
Thanks man! As I was lying in the ambulance I said to myself "I am done with Oakland" (my car had been stolen twice in the previous year and I had only been there a year) so I was ready to split. My wife found a job up in the mountains near the Oregon border, so we moved up here. Nice and quiet! (Still hear lots of gunshots, but not in anger!)
I'm so glad you're okay! Which BART station was it? Was it Macarthur? I remember as a kid coming from sf my mom wouldn't allow me to ever get off there because it was sketchy as hell.
@hollywood-- Coliseum. At 10:30 in the morning! I had just seen a guy walking with 4 kids going to an A's game too. I knew it was a sketchy neighborhood but I didn't think criminals worked mornings lol.
I was NPO for 8 days. The moment I asked for Tylenol and they tried to back door me I asked the nurse if she was gonna make out with me, nobody goes VIP without laying the groundwork. When she declined I started planning my escape with nothing but 2 Big Macs on my mind.
5 days, but, uh, let's just say there were loads of appetite suppressants and alcohol involved, so it wasn't like I was starving (well, mentally anyway). Ah, to be 20 in SoCal in the 90's. Don't worry, peeps. I outgrew the phase.
48 hours.
ReplyDeleteLongest ten minutes of my life.
ReplyDeleteLol
Delete24 hours back in the day when I was tots broke and could only afford one meal/day. I would eat my one meal everyday at 3PM.

ReplyDelete10 days- multiple times, whenever I do the master cleanse. Very intense, extremely hard, but amazing for your mind and body.
