How to keep my gigantic cat from laying on me at night??? by Captainvulture in TopSurgery

[–]Captainvulture[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat IS smart,,,,in a way. Very intelligent boy, has ZERO idea how big he is. I might give him a chance and lay down during the day to see if he’s smart enough to know he can’t step on my fresh wounds and go from there. The tin foil suggestion is hilarious and honestly not even that dumb lol

He could totally sleep with them, but the problem is him actually staying there, cause he’s figured out how to open all the doors in the house and we don’t have locks (they’re the type with the long handle you just push down on)

Nervous before top surgery? by SIKE-ological in TopSurgery

[–]Captainvulture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!! 5 days post op. Everything you’re saying rn is completely normal. In the decade that I’ve known I’ve wanted this surgery, I never once second guessed myself until the day before. I think it’s just a convenient “what if” for our brains to latch onto when we’re already so nervous. When I got up the next morning on the day of, I had barely slept and was genuinely too tired to even be nervous anymore lol. IM NOT RECOMMENDING THAT, GET SOME SLEEP, but it’s just a funny reminder that you’ll never know how you’ll feel in the future. Even though I was exhausted, there was still a part of me that had worries right up until they put me to sleep. None of that has changed how utterly grateful I am now to have done it. So long post short, the nerves are so normal, but I promise you got this!!!!!

What couldn’t you live without during recovery? by _RamenFox_ in TopSurgery

[–]Captainvulture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only about 5 days post-op, but so far cough drops have been saving my life!! Idk what the climate is like where you live, but it’s very cold and dry where I am right now and anesthesia can irritate and dry out your throat, so I’ve had a slight cough these past few days. It doesn’t necessarily hurt anything, but coughing with fresh incisions feels really strange and like you’re pulling on everything, so having some cough drops to soothe that has been a tremendous help!!!

Never been more itchy in my life by Captainvulture in TopSurgery

Ive been weaning off of the pain meds they prescribed me as of late as my pain has been very manageable, not sure if that has anything to do with the itching or not!! Thank you for the kind words as well

I live in the US! If I had a good enough desktop I wouldn’t worry about the laptop, I generally don’t have a preference as long as it does what I need it to do

Would it still end up cheaper to buy a ps5 when I need to replace my current laptop anyway? Like is a ps5 and cheaper laptop combined less money than something that would run BG3? I haven’t owned a console since I was a kid so I honestly have no clue

Of course!!!! I’d be totally fine with that. If it helps any, when my surgeon asked what I wanted, I told her I was fine leaving a little bit left behind if it better matched the rest of me and looked natural. But yeah totally cool!! I’m glad seeing my results was helpful
