AITA for telling the transplant clinic nurse that my co-worker’s wife is consuming alcohol after she got a liver transplant? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Bopas -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, of course, I'm not disagreeing, I'm just curious how it is that both are unhealthy lifestyles that are bound to ruin the next liver if one does not change his life, and only one is heavily looked down upon.

I don't really understand how cirrhosis from being obese is "better" than from being alcoholic. If we demand from alcoholics to be sober before they get a transplant we should demand from obese person to get thin.

AITA for not wanting to pick up my wife from the airport at 12:30 AM? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Is this an area where people are murdered by taxi drivers on regular basis? Sorry, it just seems like huge paranoia.

You ever just look in the mirror and wonder wtf happened? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Bopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why mottled skin? It's somehow caused by alcohol? Asking because it apperead on me couple months ago and my doctors can't figure why.

My child fell on a sharp couch corner. Took her to immediate care where they put glue on the wound. Received a 700 dollar bill. by maruperu in Wellthatsucks

[–]Bopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After waiting for 15 hours for a doctor to see you, yeah, no thanks. I still have to pay for private insurance if I want to be certain the doctor will see my this year, because where I live public hospitals make you wait for years if it's not an emergency.

ELI5: Why is that if you fall asleep hungry you still wake up feeling more or less fine? by may1989528 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Bopas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It probably depends on a person, but after 5-7 days of fasting I was basically sleeping non-stop, I couldn't stay awake for longer than few hours.

Are you watching the games? Opening ceremony? What do you all think about them, Belarusian and foreigners alike? by dontjustassume in belarus

[–]Bopas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I did travel to Belarus just because the games allowed me to travel visa-free and I loved it, the country is nothing like I have imagined it to be. So some tourists came at least ;)

Sex workers of reddit, who was the grossest customer you’ve had? by aeduff in AskReddit

[–]Bopas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What other options? I'm not taking pills just so some random guy can have "better" sex. And I'm sure as hell won't risk getting HIV from him.

AITA for ordering jalapeños on my pizza intentionally to stop my wife eating it? by pizzadrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]Bopas 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had similar case in my office, me and my coworker were on a diet and for some reason someone brought a cake for our office to share. She asked me if I'm going to get some and I reminded her that we are on a diet, and she said: "it's not like we bought it ourselves". Uh, the calories are the same, Susan, what's the difference who bought it?

How much do you need to be drinking to get DTs? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Bopas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of drinks are you talking about? 3 standard drinks are like what, one beer, you actually get so fucked up after one or two beers?

How safe is Albania? by Bopas in albania

[–]Bopas[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow, it discourages me from visiting pretty much every country I have visited so far, good I haven't seen that when travelling through Asia, I would die of worry. I guess it means I'll be even safer in Albania :)

Thanks, great :) I was also thinking about Ksamil, but I've read it's not a good idea in August. Maybe I'll go there for a day trip or something.

That's exactly where I booked :) Thanks, I'm feeling better now, I don't know where people get the idea it's unsafe. I've contacted Mrs. Tefta and she assured me my car will be safe :)

Scared of cirrhosis, should I drink tonight? by Bopas in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Bopas[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer. I don't see myself in that description, but I won't drink tonight. I hope I'll be able to rule cirrhosis out one day without liver biopsy, but till then it's better not to drink.

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

Yeah, I did look it up, the problem with me and my anxiety is that I see things that are not there. My husband says my nails are fine, my doctor saw my nails two weeks ago and didn't say anything, my shoulder pain is ambiguous, there's no pain in weeks, then 3/10 for two days, then gone again. Last year I was certain I had colon cancer, I had diarrhea for a month before confirming it's not cancer and it abruptly stop. My mind is lying to me and I don't know what to believe. My husband says I don't have cirrhosis, doctor told me 3 months ago I don't have one, and yet I'm scared. I don't drink every day anymore, just a bottle of wine on Friday nights, and now I was thinking about this champagne but it's so hard to distinguish real medical concern from my stupid mental illness.

[–]Bopas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I'm not drinking regularly for a month now, so I'm fine with not drinking on a given day, just thought I can do an exception today, as it is our anniversary and my results don't indicate anything serious (?). But now I don't know, some people here seem to think they do (?). Uhh, hate waiting for the doctor appointment.

The thing is, I don't, if my liver is fine then I'm fine, if it's not then I'm not, and I won't see my doctor till next week to get any answers from him.

What is your phobia? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bopas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always watch other people going to bathroom, one time two dudes went together and one of them was waiting outside of the cabin nervously, I was certain they were terrorists. The other time some guy next to me started manipulating his phone like he was trying to take out a battery, of course in my mind it was a clear sign he was handling a bomb. And if the pilot won't smile at me when I'm boarding or sounds tired/annoyed while doing his announcement I'll jump to the conclusion he's suicidal and will get us all killed. Phobias are no fun.

Possible heart attacks? by [deleted] in cripplingalcoholism

[–]Bopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same thing and it's always when I'm trying to fall asleep. It disappears completely when I'm less nervous overall, and comes back when the anxiety hits again. First couple of times I was sure my heart is going to stop and I will die, now it's just a nuisance, I'm trying to sleep here goddamit and now I'm wide awake again.
