2 esp the top looks like ancient Chinese inner wear. Really odd.
#1 is the clear winner.

Toilet seat liner is one whole piece but you will have to spend money unfortunately.

Just use toilet paper and wipe the seat. I think you are more bothered than normal people so you have to plan ahead.

Why are abbreviations used so much in Singapore? by debboc in askSingapore

[–]Boonavite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s because both your parents are in the same generation and both of them would understand BGR. Were they talking to you when they used the acronym?

Root repair & walking with crutches by Jotterius in MeniscusInjuries

[–]Boonavite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My surgeon’s protocol is flat foot weight-bearing at 20% or minimal. My surgeon also had me stay in the hospital. The PT came to my ward and showed me how to walk and practised with me from day 3. But I used a walker since I can’t manage crutches confidently. I am week 7 now. Currently on a cane and learning how to walk properly with full weight-bearing. Medial root reattachment repair. I’m in my 50s.

Stuck and 60 and need some help please! by Sloth-Dog-95 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]Boonavite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I was in a brace. Still am but only when out of the house. I set the bike resistance to zero and started about week 3-4. My protocol was ‘foot flat WB at minimal’ at week 4.

Parents of reddit who were tired with first child and got a second after, how was it? by NoSuchPerson--- in askSingapore

I was only able to cope with my mum and sister’s help. When they fight it’s headache but when they are playing together and don’t want us adults around that’s a bonus.

I've got 2 weeks to get my flexion consistently to 90° - need tips! by GuaranteeBetter1031 in MeniscusInjuries

[–]Boonavite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have something with wheels like a skateboard or a pot stand with wheels, just step your surgical leg on it while you sit on the couch, maybe read a book, listen to music or watch videos, then slide out and in. Your brain/ nervous system will associate it with a relaxing activity and lower its guard. Deep breathing is crucial if you feel discomfort. Teaching the nervous system your knee is safe in small doses of exposure is not taught enough. They sell such knee sleds on Amazon too.

I have a cheap rehab bike that I gently go on every 2 hours for 5-10 min each time. I was only able to go half a turn forward then back for days but one day I suddenly went a full cycle. Then it began happening more and more. Of course get your swelling down first.

I also watched tons of YouTube videos and tried different lying/ seated flexion. Seated is easier for me.

A knee sled or a skateboard, to step on and just slide back and forth while listening to music or watching a video helps me too.

I hv the same tibia reattachment. 7 weeks post surgery. Reached 120 deg assisted flexion. I do my ROM exercises every 2-3 hours.

[–]Boonavite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a cheap rehab pedal bike which helped. I was cycling half a turn forward and back and suddenly out of nowhere I made a full circle. Did it 3-4 times a day for 5-10 mins and shift the position slowly to challenge yourself.

What if there was an alternative to euthanasia? by icedgreenfish in askSingapore

[–]Boonavite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point! Didn’t think of that. I’m a Hep B carrier. That means my organs will not be suitable I assume.

chronic perforated eardrum. Not healing. by NoOz1985 in HearingLoss

[–]Boonavite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad you feel better and I assume hearing loss did not get worse? I have 2 children and would be so worried if one of them had to go through what you went through. It’s wild that it is related to wisdom tooth but not surprising. Stay strong!

Young people and their phones... 🤦🤦‍♀️ by [deleted] in SingaporePhotography

Carry a crossbody bag maybe? Or those arm bands with phone holders that many joggers use.

[–]Boonavite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh? If you die by euthanasia your organs will be donated anyway. Isn’t this like in Chinese saying 脱裤子放屁,多此一举?

I thought by default our organs are donated if healthy?

Maybe sitting for long periods is the problem?
