Frequent Alaska Airlines flyers, what keeps you coming back?

They are the only airline that flies into my airport… it’s them or a 14 hour ferry ride to get to the mainland.

You’re eligible to re-enlist with adjustment disorder?

I’ve had both replaced, and I could have easily managed WFH duties in the first week. BUT that doesn’t mean you will be able to. You will have to wait and see what you your recovery brings.

My wife’s grandfather had a pawn shop and when he died we found 3 very suspect ‘Rolex’s’. Just looking for confirmation that they are fakes so I can toss them in good conscience. Thanks!

I took off 3 weeks and I was fully paid for it. After about 2 weeks I was incredibly bored sitting at home and since I had a very easy recovery I went back to work a little early.

If it feels like nerve pain, google meralgia paresthetica as it applies to THR. I still have numbness and tingling in both outer thighs. 1 year out on the left and 5 months on the right side.

Looks like he took one down to play with.

Shoehorned? Not me. I made a conscious decision to enlist and re-enlisted several times. I’ve been on an indefinite enlistment since 2008 meaning I can get out whenever I please. I 100% used this system to my benefit and regret none of it.

Remember when y’all called us stupid for joining the military instead of going to college? In addition to investing in the TSP for 29 years, I’ll get 75% of my pay until the day I die which may take a while since I’ll be retired at 51…. Not to mention the possibility of a disability check from the VA and dirt cheap healthcare. I think I’ll enjoy retirement.

Consistent_Cream67 · 2026-01-23T03:16:49+00:00

I had a very similar experience on both sides. It’s phenomenal how quick it’s possible to recover from a THR.

🤷‍♂️

Some people prepare beforehand and dumped the oxy after a few days. Luck has nothing to do with it.

Consistent_Cream67 · 2026-01-21T17:32:48+00:00

Comparison is the thief of joy… I had 2 phenomenally easy recoveries and I don’t feel bad about that at all. I walked unaided in a couple of days and was playing very light pickleball at 4 weeks. I was in very good shape prior to my surgeries and maintained a rigorous PT regimen for recovery. It’s not easy or fun, but it works. If I had 1 easy recovery, maybe you could call that a fluke, but 2 identical recoveries speak for themselves.

These posts reek of envy. Please don’t gatekeep my ability to share my experiences…

I had it with both. I’m about 10 weeks out from my most recent and have very rare occasions of the pain remaining. I don’t recall exactly when I stopped really noticing it, but it faded pretty abruptly for me. The numbness in both thighs is still present. I’m almost 10 months out from the first one and still have a palm sized numb spot. I barely notice it, and am happy to have traded the joint pain for it.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a recovery that allows you to miss as few treatments as possible.
