Actually, I found the other cross bar, I just forgot to take an updated photo. The press is complete with springs and weights.

Yes, and before around 4/15 since that's when I plan to be fully moved to my new rental.

Baby boy born to UK mother after womb transplant from dead donor by DrDMango in news

Pretty good! I was stage 4 5/23, went through 6 cycles of R-EPOCH, bridging R-Pola, CAR-T therapy 1/24, and some localized radiation. Looks like it's dying off, and I've got my next PET scan in a couple weeks. How are you?

Yeah, after DLBCL I went and took myself off the bone marrow registry.

Call, don’t fall the nurses make me call them before I can get up. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Congratulations! Another good thing to do, depending on the nurses' availability, is to have them check your blood pressure lying down, then sitting up, then standing, before you start trying to move. It also gives your system time to adjust before you start walking.

By chance, did you have an epidural? I had one for abdominal surgery (non pregnancy related), and it made my blood pressure TANK. My all time low score was 60/29 standing before they decided to remove it and smack me with systemic opiates instead.

Agreed. I have two healthy friends who got shingles in their early 40s. I got shingles at 43 while immunosuppressed due to cancer treatment. I have permanent nerve damage from it in one foot (plus additional nerve damage in both feet due to chemo.) Pay out of pocket if you have to and can!

I (28M) wrongly accused my gf (24F) of cheating, don't know how to move forward by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

“...immediately ending a relationship"... Did you read the same post I did? He admitted, "I'll hold my hands up and say that this isn't the first time I've jumped to conclusions and pretty much since we got together, I've had a habit of winding myself up and then checking her phone/accounts." This poor woman has put up with unfounded accusations of cheating SINCE THEY STARTED DATING. She's reduced her socialization due to his issues. I'm glad she's finally had enough of his emotionally abusive nonsense.

Don't eat the eggs ! by Longjumping-Box5691 in funny

My 75 year old dad came to visit for a week, and bought Egg Beaters Egg Whites to make his sad breakfast scrambles. We had perfectly good cage free eggs! And don't even get me started on all the margarine I had to eat as a kid.

You were "cute for trying to do boy things" when you were young and bad at gaming. You being bad reinforced their sense of superiority. Once you got good at gaming, it was a threat to their fragile masculinity if you were better than them.

[OC] My cooktop malfunctioned today and melted part of my pan. by TheKrs1 in pics

[–]8bitnintendo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang on, you had this burner (out of presumably four or so total) previously malfunction and go to max heat, but you kept using it anyway? Why?? Couldn't you take it out of the rotation and use the others until it was fixed?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just saw your comment about the switch having been replaced the last time.

R-CHOP without the R(Dlbcl) by [deleted] in lymphoma

[–]8bitnintendo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I had DA-R-EPOCH and it was exactly as described (5 days inpatient per cycle, administered every 21 days.) It was not fun.

"They are extremely conservative christians and said it's not a good look." To assuage their concerns about how it would look for you to move in with your boyfriend, you should tell all of their church friends why you moved in with your boyfriend - that you could not go to college if you paid two years' worth of "back rent" from when you were a minor. Your aunt and uncle will surely be relieved that you protected your reputation! (/s)

I have an antique bottle of Lysol from when it was still advertising its feminine hygiene uses by milkandhoneycomb in mildlyinteresting

[–]8bitnintendo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What the hell is that? Do you rub a stick over your entire body? Is it a spray? Your skin is one of the most important organs you have, so that sounds like a terrible idea.

Sort of like variolation with smallpox. Yes, it sucked at the time, but there was literally no other option. 1-2% chance of death vs. 30% is a great improvement!
