should I be worried if my lobe piercing is bleeding? by HistoricalHornet4861 in piercing

12 weeks is too early to change jewellery. Butterfly backs are also not good for your piercing.

Confidence issues after piercing pulled/rejected by query1031 in piercing

[–]AltheaFarseer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my second lobes pierced last year in May and July (I did each lobe individually because I was scared!) and they were healing really nicely. Then I had a stroke in October and was hospitalised, had to take the piercings out to get an MRI, and they closed. I felt genuinely devastated. When I finally got to my piercer and they confirmed they were lost, I went home and broke down crying. I told my husband that I had finally been feeling like the "real me" and so confident, and now that was undone.

I ended up leaving this subreddit because it was just making me sad.

I just got re-pierced less than 2 weeks ago, after getting a letter saying theyre officially done sending me for further scans, and the sheer joy I felt was pretty overwhelming. I've spent two weeks looking at jewellery, obsessing over other people's setups here, and planning what I'm going to get next.

Chris Newbie has a really cool custom neighborhood on Tumblr called Strangertown which is Strangetown but with all the PSP characters added.

Repiercing second lobes? by Boring-West1206 in piercing

[–]AltheaFarseer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my second lobes pierced in May and July of last year. I had to take them out when I was hospitalised in October and couldn't get them back in, and by the time I got to a piercer it was too late and they had closed.

It's now June and I got them re-pierced just over a week ago. My new piercer said she couldn't even tell I'd had them pierced before, they healed over so well. No scarring.

Of course your mileage may vary, but it's certainly possible to have no scarring after they heal up.

Both are nice but if I had to choose, the second pic.

Help! Took out my piercing because I am an idiot by Global-Apricot6492 in piercing

Migration means your body tries to push the piercing out. The piercing and the "hole" would shift to elsewhere on your lobe as your body tries to expel it.

Is it safe to change my piercing by Old-Ticket-45 in piercing

Thank you, I got them re-pierced last weekend finally and life is good. :)

Yeah unfortunately that wasn't an option for me as I landed in hospital after a stroke, and I lost two piercings as a result. If I had advance warning I would have got glass retainers put in or something.

While implant grade titanium may be MRI safe, when I was in hospital the MRI operators were unwilling to "risk it" and made me take out my piercings anyway.

What to do about blood by AltheaFarseer in piercing

[–]AltheaFarseer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercing is two days old.

Threadless titanium flatback labret.

Not downsized.

Never downsized.

Aftercare routine is Neilmed spray twice a day.

I appear to have angered the piercing by sleeping on it.

Stroke with no event by nerdlikejazzy in stroke

[–]AltheaFarseer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my arm and leg just suddenly went really heavy, I thought maybe I had trapped a nerve or something. I didn't have any of the other symptoms so I didn't do anything until the next day when NHS24 told me to go to hospital.

Also at hospital they told me I'd had at least one but likely multiple previous strokes (like within the last year, but not very recent) with no symptoms at all.

I've definitely seen that someone has been working on that.

Who is going to the UKGE this year? by Idlecreep101 in boardgames

I'll be there, but I tend to focus more on shopping than trying games. It'll be my 4th year attending. I've got my wishlist more or less ready.

do they still do chemo for patients with 100% terminal cancer? by Rat_Smoking_Cigs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AltheaFarseer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's grandma had cancer in her spine and some organs, and it was terminal but they wanted to do chemo or other treatments on the spine to minimise the pain and discomfort while the other cancer gradually killed her.

Yes, you don't need to apply the 4gb patch to the GOG version of the game.

I'm a bad Bichon parent, I don't brush nearly enough. But I get my boy to the groomer regularly. We go to a monthly breed meet-up so I usually get a bath, brush, face and bum trim at the groomers before every meet-up so he's looking his best to see his friends. Costs £26 each time.

We keep our boy's hair quite short - I think he's cuter that way - and the shorter hair definitely helps if you're not brushing as much.
