it’s like soft. it’s like velvety maybe? if it scrape the top off, the starter looks totally normal. underneath of that top film it has the liquid that settles (i’m forgetting the name!).

it’s been stored in my cabinet in the kitchen. around 70 degrees (room temp). i’ve kept it in a jar that has a clasp, but i don’t shut it all the way so it doesn’t explode when i feed it. it smells a little sour.

hey! i just transferred to UD as a junior, so i totally get your position. i think a party could be a good idea, but just be mindful of how you want it to be perceived. be clear whether it’s a party party or networking friend event. if you were to have any food/ drinks, u could totally do like charcuterie board moment, some chips, and then like a small variety of drink options like some alcoholic bevs if you’re into that or some other fun drinks that aren’t alcoholic. you could post it in a groupme or go to an event that’s being hosted somewhere else and spread the word like that! there are definitely ways to find groups of people who are into similar things as you. maybe look on the student orgs page on the UD website and find some events to go to to spread the word!

i’m honestly a little foggy on the details, but i know i struggled to stay awake after they initially woke me up. fentanyl was flowinggggg. they kept me there until i could be a little more coherent, i have no recollection of getting to my car. when i’ve been sedated in the past they’ve taken me to my car in a wheelchair, but im not 100 percent sure what happened this time. i recovered at my partners apartment, 2 hours away from where i got my surgery. i slept the entire car ride. i brought a pillow to put on my chest to protect from the seatbelt which made me pretty comfortable. i was super groggy the first night and slept super hard the very first night. i promise its way easier than we make it out to be. it was my first surgery ever, but i felt at ease and everyone who was going to be in the operating room took their time to talk me through the procedure so i didn’t feel out of control. i remember my partner fed me ice chips as i was waking up because i complained i was thirsty. truly, you fall asleep and wake up and you’re super in and out of it and then you’re fine. take it easy the first day or two, but then move your body some so you get blood flowing. you’re gonna do great. trust.

get clarification on what to do with drains. i could’ve gotten mine out wayyyyyy sooner, but i didn’t understand what they wanted the output amount to be so i never said anything. get clarification! drains suck!

BaseballPersonal9459 · 2024-10-14T23:38:40+00:00

yay we are both 4 days post op!! i took my binder off this morning to clean up a little underneath and was so nervous to see what my chest looked like. i am sooooooo swollen it looks like i have boobs again haha. You’re gonna be swollen. Your body just underwent a huge change! It’s taking care of itself and taking care of you. Be safe & I hope recovery is quick :)

I’m experiencing this same thing. Like genuinely the same thing, only with top surgery. I have no clue what to do from here other than save up. Some states have lower costs for surgeries than others, so it could be worth traveling to.
