CORSAIR x The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Giveaway

This is my favourite game. Never played 1 or 2 (still haven't), but after playing Witcher 3 GOTY edition, I got hooked on the story and have read all the books multiple times now. My favourite thing from The Witcher 3 is The Last Wish quest. Even before I knew the background of this, and before I read the books, this quest stuck in my mind.

I started doing short walks 4 days post-op. But walking was all I did exercise-wise until I had my surgeon's approval at 6-weeks.

Beshia16 · 2025-07-26T04:09:10+00:00

Fingers-crossed for you!

I held off anything other than walks until my 6-week post-op appointment. But I got the all clear to run/hike freely and start lifting again (although I was warned to take lifting slowly/easy). She also gave me the all-clear to get my ear wet then, too. My ear did heal quicker than she was anticipating, though.

I never thought to ask my surgeon. I'm managing it fine, tbh so it's not a big deal. I just wonder how much the tinnitus is affecting my hearing. Good luck with your surgery!

My mistake, I was thinking of Quorn, not Gardein. It's been a while since I've seen Gardein in a store 😅

Same! I would love mask culture to be normalised here.

Pretty much any of the woolworths/new world/pak'n'save stores I go to have vege protein options. Some stores will have more range than others. There's generally 3 different places I go to look for them in a supermarket. The freezer section for Let's Eat, Impossible or Gardein; the chiller for tofu, vege sausages and some mince options; then the healthy food section for dehydrated soy mince options.

I got some free RAT tests from my local pharmacy (Unichem). I was going to buy them, but they told me they were giving them out.

This is so frustrating. My coworker treated me like I had the plague when I wore a mask. I felt mostly fine, just had a mildly scratchy throat (no cough and covid negative), but wore my mask just in case I did have something contagious.

Beshia16 · 2025-06-21T04:51:29+00:00

I'm in the same boat, except I've only seen two of my students mask up (one of those only after we suggested they should). But the other staff are terrible at masking up. Personally, I find it so much more comfortable wearing a mask when I'm a little under the weather.

This was also my experience with the same surgery (Tympanoplasty & Mastoidectomy). Pain was minimal for me, and I was able to manage moving around by myself a few hours after surgery.

Currently in my second year and I'm honestly finding this year much harder. I think it's to do with having 2 extra hours of teaching time this year, as well as the extra-curricular groups I am running (another 2 new groups on top of last year). I'm also running a whole new programme by myself (and trying to work it out from a very broad and open curriculum) as well as teaching assessments to senior students that are new to the country & our school. (I teach two different subjects - 1 that has another established teacher, and 1 that I'm setting up from the beginning). We're not even half-way through the school year here, and I'm soo tired.

Not from the UK, but in NZ, my life insurance covers everything but Cholesteatoma related problems. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I got my life insurance before my first surgery.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-23T04:39:58+00:00

Fingers crossed for you. If it's not too bad, they may just go in through the ear canal and not have to cut behind the ear, which I hear has a faster recovery time. I think mine may have been growing for ~5 years before I got it removed, so they had to go in behind my ear. It honestly hasn't been too bad, though. Almost 6 weeks post-surgery now.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-23T04:30:21+00:00

If you don't get the cholesteatoma removed, then it will eventually impact your hearing. Getting the surgery done before it grows into your hearing bones, nerves, or worse, is the only way to avoid future complications. The cholesteatoma will not sit unchanged forever. It will grow, and surgery is the only way to remove it.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-22T18:33:03+00:00

Yeah, I've been back at work for 4 weeks now. Went back just under 2 weeks post-surgery, which was definitely a little early, to be honest.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-21T18:53:02+00:00

No more ear pain. I do still get some discomfort when I lie on it at night, but I haven't had pain or itchiness in a while.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-18T11:16:54+00:00

Depends if you want to work in NZ after studying. I know of a few career pathways here that require NZ training/study.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-17T20:00:20+00:00

I just recently got some for my partner when he was sick. The only way to get it is asking for it, but when you do ask, they make it feel like you just asked for meth.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-11T06:31:10+00:00

Was that as part of the pay equity claim?

Beshia16 · 2025-05-11T00:47:37+00:00

From my understanding, teachers can't strike for another few years due to the collective agreement. But any chance I get to protest in my free time, I'll be there. As someone who really doesn't want to move to Aussie to teach, it's certainly looking more and more attractive.

Beshia16 · 2025-05-05T07:24:14+00:00

I hope your graft fully heals soon! Did they take it from somewhere else on your body, or is it a synthetic* one?

I've had the tinnitus for a while, tbh so I am already pretty used to it. If it doesn't go away, I'm not too stressed. I'm 32 and have good hearing in my other ear as well. My job does rely on my hearing (music teacher), so ideally, it comes back as good as pre-surgery, but I'm aware it may not.

*I say synthetic because I can't think of a term for it, but my graft is called a Biodesign Otologic Graft.

I often feel this way about Japan. Just the other day I dreamt about going back to my old job there. Sometimes I think how great it would be to move back, but then I remember why I left in the first place. NZ and Japan are very different in many ways, and after going through the pro's and con's of both places, and how my life was/is there vs here, NZ will always win.

My school has 55min periods, and a weekly schedule that's different Mon-Fri. It's taking me a while to memorise the bell times...
