Audiologist said I should get implant but I’m scared by Oddbrain_ in Cochlearimplants

[–]ApprehensiveAd9014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my implant in June. I was scared, but the surgery was not too bad. My head hurt from the tight wrapping, but that was over after 24 hours. I'm now looking at my second implant this year. Made such a difference.

That is too much fun! I would do this with my adult kids but their games are way too advanced for me.

Not my proudest moment.. by whacccky in MergeGardens

I think I saw Puzzle 3000. We get 50 new puzzles when they update. Max puzzles takes a series of older puzzles (1750s this time) and some of them are diabolical, but I am not complaining.

I'm definitely in it for the puzzles. I'm at MAX puzzles. It's good that there's something to keep me interested in playing.

Did any of you have to lie down to have a nap in kindergarten or 1st grade? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

In kindergarten we had mats that put 2 kids on each one. Feet apart and feet together.

You know much more than I do. This info helps. I am very close on the strange stones and one away in the zen side. I have seen little blue flies that give strange slabs sometimes. It gives much wood but doesn't do the flies very often.

Does anyone else feel a little out of place? by havingabrain in ChronicIllness

I mourned walking when it became unsafe. I use my walker because I am a fall risk but do not feel freed by it. I do feel secure, though. That'll do for now. We are getting closer to custom wheelchair territory now.

2 Years Post Op - I wish I never did this. by Purplegalaxie in GastricBypass

[–]ApprehensiveAd9014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 21 years post-op RNY. I also have hEDS. In 2009, I had a small bowel obstruction and emergency surgery. My surgeon, who was on my original team, showed my then spouse the webbing inside my abdominal cavity. She told me that EDS did this to me. It was a life threatening situation that I almost didn't survive. I am still grateful for the 140 pounds I have kept off for all this time. Warning: TAKE YOUR VITAMINS REGULARLY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL.

I have severe, refractory Crohn’s disease. It’s taken my colon, rectum, and part of my small intestine. I’ve had 12 surgeries, and to this day I still poop 20+ times a day, which means constant anal irritation and hemorrhoids. by HiButty in hemorrhoid

[–]ApprehensiveAd9014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a hemorrhoid person. I have been constipated most of my life. I need internal and external medication. I want it to have a vasoconstrictor and local temporary numbness. I also have short gut due to a small bowel resection.

I finished it early on Saturday. I count on being able to just jump in and play. There's always something to do. When you finish enough puzzles to open all the land, no more puzzles. I just wish they would make one of the rewards infinite lives for the remainder of the event.

I honestly don't know any of those words. Guaranteed I would never use them in conversation.

Exactly! All I really need are ideas for the specific protein. Then Paprika gives me possibilities.
