I roast whole chickens. Used to raise my own but no space now. I eat the breast meat but the family likes the dark meat. Carcas goes into crockpot overnight with salt and lemon juice to help it render into bone broth. Refrigerate then skim off fat. I use the broth to make rice.
Similar protocol here. Run low dose for anti aging and have increased to 4 ius for 3-4 weeks at a time when I sprained my ankle and following a bike wreck. The higher doses caused swelling and tingling in hands and feet and stiff joints. But I believe it did accelerate healing.
Your surgeon and anesthesiologist need to know whatever you're taking. Remember, they are not cops. Ppl disclose illegal stuff to them everyday. They just don't like surprises that complicate their most important job, which is to do no harm.
Lol. Almost 63. Yeah. Granny says, " just edge for a few days". But seriously, I'm a retired medic and not at all shy talking about bodily functions. Facts of life.
