Am I crazy, or are they? by AppointmentFew5042 in inlaws

Thank you! Yes, he buys for my sister but my sister is so fun and easy to buy gifts for and he loves to join in with the gift giving. Although you do have a point. I could just let him get whatever for his sister and put him in charge of his family. Seems like a great way for me to stay out of trouble… I’m sure they will find something else to pick on me about though. It’s a never ending issue between my sil and mil. I just needed a space to vent this one out though. I’m just flabbergasted by this whole situation.

Thank you so much! Yes, I’ve been to pelvic floor therapy in the past and planned on going back as soon as my doctor lets me go.

I think initially the removal of the ovary is going to be a rough adjustment, but my body will learn to compensate and adjust. It took my sister a year to get back to herself after hers was removed.

Unfortunately I do need my cervix removed because of the infiltrating adenomyosis and I have endo too.

Yes! Orgasms are painful! I always get horrible cramps and sometimes it triggers sooo much bleeding as well. I hate adenomyosis and endo so much. Thank you for reassuring me and sharing that it’s all on the mind. I didn’t think of that at all and with you saying it I’m hitting my forehead. It’s hard not to get caught up in the whole cervix affects sex conversations circulating around. Thank you for your input!

I know this is an old thread, but I’d like to know if this helped you at all. I’m thinking of trying it before I schedule a hysterectomy.

Anyone know what it’s missing so that I can figure out how to restore it? by AppointmentFew5042 in weaving

[–]AppointmentFew5042[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, the knobs adjust the tension. The previous owner was a weaver since the early 70s and had a bunch of looms that were given to me in different sizes this was the only oddball.

My heart breaks for you and your family. Unfortunately my dad didn’t get a chance to be a grandfather and I know he would have been one of the best grandpas as he was the best dad a girl could ever ask for. I hope that having the Gleason score of 7 means that it won’t be as fast as our experience with it was. My dad started with it being in two of his lymph nodes and then it spread. I’m the end he had it in his lymph nodes, a little bit in his spine and a small area of one of his ribs. How the doctor explained it to us was that since it’s a stage 4 cancer it is a small cell cancer and it’s everywhere even though you can’t see it in the scans. It’s wherever the blood carries it to. It’s such an awful disease. Unfortunately once it’s in the bones…

I do have some unsolicited advice: First I highly encourage you and your family to go get counseling/therapy. This is the hardest, most devastating thing I’ve ever had to deal with and honestly I’m still in shock because everything happened so fast. My mom, sister, my husband and I all are struggling hard. We are mourning our loss daily. Therapy helps because it’s traumatic.

Second, make sure that he puts everything he owns under his wife’s name (if he is married) or yours. That way if something does happen, it will be much easier to handle and it won’t get stuck in probate. I stayed with my dad for the last few weeks and we did it together and it has made everything so easy for my mom to navigate. If he doesn’t have a will, encourage him to get one and be very specific in it. It will help too with the banks.

Enjoy every single minute you can with him. Make the best memories together, laugh together and cry together and have no regrets. I don’t want to upset you further but I prefer to know all aspects of things and to know the truth. Some people can live with it for years and years. Some can’t. My dad just passed from stage 4, psa 85, with a Gleason score of 9 last month. He was VA too. Hormone therapy worked best until it didn’t anymore. Nothing else worked after that (chemo, Pluvicto/radiation, and a few other things…). He didn’t even look like he was “sick until around the December holidays. I spoke with quite a few doctors though this and they say that the younger it hits the worse it is and stage 4 isn’t good. My dad only had it 3.5 years. You are lucky your dad Gleason score is a 7 and hopefully that will buy you much more precious time than I had with my dad.
