I was thinking about this today after watching some old clips of legendary coaches. There is such a fine line between a leader who commands respect through expertise and one who just tries to "rally the troops" with speeches. It feels like every single season, there's always that one guy in the locker room who decides he’s the true voice of the squad, and it always seems to signal that something is fundamentally broken with the leadership at the top.

In my experience watching different teams, once the players start feeling like they need to self-police or offer their own "critiques" of the coaching staff, the chemistry is already shot. You can have all the talent in the world, but if the hierarchy starts blurring, you’re looking at a disaster waiting to happen. It’s less about the strategy on the field and more about whether the guys actually trust the person holding the clipboard.

Do you think a team can actually recover once the players start publicly questioning the authority of the head coach, or is the season effectively over at that point?

Usually, doctors just keep an eye on it to see if it grows; surgery typically isn't on the table unless it starts causing actual issues. As far as I know, at this size, most physicians would consider it negligible—it’s probably just a few millimeters, though I can't be certain without seeing the report.
Your doctor will be able to give you a clearer picture of what we're looking at.

Thanks.👍

I’m feeling a bit lost on where to turn with this. These aren't just routine lab results; they are specialist reports, and honestly, seeing them isn't even for me, which makes the whole thing much more nerve-wracking. If anyone knows a better place to post this kind of medical inquiry, I'm all ears.

The findings come from two different doctors. Here is the first report from the CT scan:
1. The liver shows no enlargement and maintains normal reflective structures. In the left lobe, along the medial contour, there is a lesion roughly 2 cm in size. It appears as an inhomogeneous, hypoechoic structure of uncertain origin (possibly a cavernous hemangioma?), so I recommend proceeding with an MSCT of the liver. There is also a smaller cyst, about 1 cm, located in the dorsal segment of the right lobe.
The echostatus of the pancreas, biliary system, spleen, and kidneys appears normal.
No signs of adenopathy were found in the retroperitoneum.
No other pathological intra-abdominal findings were detected.

2. The second report is from the MRI:
Pre- and post-contrast MRI of the liver in three planes shows a finding in segment 2 of the right lobe. On T1, there is a minimal decrease in signal, while on T2, it is slightly hyperintense; following contrast administration, imbibition occurs. A similar change is noted in the cranial area. There is a smaller cyst in segment 4. The findings suggest a probable mixed-type hemangioma. The kidneys, pancreas, spleen, aorta, vena cava, and abdominal portal vein all appear normal.

If anyone can make sense of what this actually means, I would truly appreciate the help.👍

There isn’t much cause for alarm if your transaminase levels are sitting just below the threshold; the real concern starts when they begin climbing significantly, say two or three times above the limit😉. It’s perfectly normal for some people to have elevated liver enzymes from time to time.

Looks like it’s mono again🤣...people just won't stay away😉

Yeah, I'm heading to the hospital tomorrow. Thanks.🙂

boldfox8 said:It’s unlikely to be hepatitis; it was more likely some viral inflammation that cleared up on its own without medication, though it might have left some lingering effects behind.

But those transaminase levels just keep climbing... and I don't drink... plus, I feel great, honestly, really great.🤷

So, I spent ten days running a fever that just wouldn't budge. It left me feeling completely drained—to the point where I could barely stand up on my own. Once the fever finally broke, everything seemed to settle back to normal, but I decided to get some blood work done just to be safe. My initial results showed an IBM of 76 and an ALT of 87. My doctor initially suspected mononucleosis, but she ruled that out after looking at my ferritin levels🤷. I went back for a follow-up the day before yesterday, and the numbers have actually climbed: IBM is now 108, ALT is 161, and GGT is 26. I haven't been taking any medications other than a few Tylenols and Advil, I eat fairly well, I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I'm of average build
.
I honestly have no idea what's going on with my liver. I'm headed in to get tested for hepatitis markers now, but I can't help wondering if that’s actually what we're looking at😕

Austin Hughes5 said:Yeah. Well, let's just say Ciara isn't exactly blessed in the chest department.That video for the new Ciara Goodies track is easily the sexiest music video ever. Seriously, it’s incredible.

🤣 🤣 🤣
Whatever, honestly... she's great.
I honestly can't wrap my head around how she pulls that off—the rhythm, the flow, and especially that effortless street style.😍 😍 😍

Austin Hughes5 said:I'm with you there. Britney Spears' "I'm a Slave 4 You" is easily one of the sexiest music videos ever made, and that Amerie touch is just perfection. 😉 Amerie and those legs of hers. 🙏 Cassie kissing the mirror looks incredible. 👍 Sunrise is decent enough... honestly, it's a pretty solid track. But Mashonda and Brooke? Please. Like, who even are you? lol 🙏 Where are you hiding? 🤣

Looks like we have the exact same taste.😍
There are still so many sexy music videos out there, even if they feel more like high-budget commercials. For me, though, that Ciara Goodies one is just incredibly hot—especially that part at the end where she moves her hips like that. Honestly, I tried to mimic those moves myself, but let's just say it’s definitely not happening for me.🤣 )
I'll post more when it comes to mind.😬
You think you're such a big shot.🤣 😬

Now you're about to see what real sexiness looks like😬
