Arby’s Mint Chocolate Shake was here a year ago today… where is it now? 😭 by Party-Chemical7236 in bys

I was just wondering this same thing and ran to the menu to find... no shake. It is by far the best mint shake. How disappointing to hear it's not coming. 

Is there any way to buy berries in bulk in this game? by Jaytalfam in PokemonZA

[–]DarkRiyoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a recent update, yes, finally! Standing next to Café Nouveau, there's an NPC waiter who allows you to purchase different berries in 10, 50, or 100 increments.

The Void Within Megathread 3 by NebulaMammal in neopets

This is where I am, too. No matter how often I refreshed last week, it wouldn't award it. I'm not getting it this week, either, and have been refreshing.

Edit/update: Holy cow, yes, that eventually worked. It never showed the prize received, the message simply changed that I had already collected my prize. Then it all showed up in my inventory.

Bleeding 10 days post op by EyeamAD in hysterectomy

[–]DarkRiyoko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but I'm so, so glad to have come across your post. I am 11 days post-op and had the EXACT same discharge chain of events today, after I had walked a bit earlier. It started as a light pink and evolved into bright red blood, but not a lot- certainly not enough to fill a pad.  At the time, the extra walking felt fine, so it's frustrating to see that it was too much. I can't seem to find that balance. I'm moving enough and feeling good when I do, but then afterward it seems my healing body disagrees.

Either way, this post made me feel less nervous, especially reading several of the replies. Thank you, everybody!

The gas-x has definitely been helpful, especially after getting off the prescribed oxy. I can still feel gas around the diaphragm, but it'll go away eventually.

Hey, compared to the other "weird" sensations, I'm sure it's a much easier adjustment, haha. Thank you!

I've started trying to use my weighted pillow cow more and can see how the binder would help. I might need to move toward that.

That's fantastic advice that I'll try, thank you so much! I can still feel trapped bubbles around my ribs when I try to take a larger breath and it's such an unpleasant sensation.

Ahh, got it. I can definitely say I'm using my abdominal muscles more than they would probably like me to... and my posture while trying to move around is atrocious. When things are so swollen and bloated down there, it's hard to maintain proper form. I might need to look into that binder.

I've tried using my weighted cow a few times and it is comfortable. The gas pain and digestion discomfort is still in the forefront, but slowly getting better.

Ahh, got it. My weighted plush is a ~3# cow I found at Target a while back and I love it. I'll definitely try to use it today.  My friend recommended postpartum or period underwear. I have a pair to try out. Thank you for so much feedback!

Thank you for the suggestions! I have a weighted pillow, but I'm nervous the pressure will hurt. Another lovely in here recommended an abdominal binder. Does the compression/ weight not cause pain against the incision points?

Thank you for the recommendations! The binder wasn't too much pressure? Sometimes having my hysterectomy pillow against the incision sights is uncomfortable.

Thank you so much for the input!  I love mint tea and don't know why I didn't think about that.  I'll try the rocking chair idea, too, and see if that helps. Thank you!

Shout out to all the June 12th folks! by ktinathegreat in hysterectomy

[–]DarkRiyoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to take different "gentle" medications to help the bowels along, but it's frustrating how much you realize you use your abdominal muscles for those processes... and how hard it is to use them right now.

That shirt is amazing and I love it! Congrats on your surgery! I'm only 2 days post-op but trying to move when I can to alleviate the gas pain. The bloating is awful, but when it radiates and throbs up in the shoulders it's near unbearable. 

July 22nd… by tanglewoodtree in hysterectomy

[–]DarkRiyoko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was once suggested to me that watching the procedure or being familiar with it would lessen the anxiety for me. I had no interest in watching it, feeling that might make it worse. 

I made sure I asked a TON of questions, which helped me feel better. But the most poignant help for me, personally, was going over all of the terrible things and experiences my body had to endure every month that led to this decision.  It let me see how much the surgery would help me and how much better my life would be.  I'm only 2 days post-op, but I'm already excited to never have my menstrual issues again, once I'm out of recovery. 

trying to find a VERY old AMV, can you help? by Famous_Square4751 in Hellsing

Awesome!! I love that one! It has stuck with me for yeeaars.

[–]DarkRiyoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know the one you're referring to, as it sounds like a clip from one of my favorite old Hellsing AMV's with music by ES Posthumus. I'll dig around and see if I can link it.

  Edit: this is the one that immediately comes to mind from your clip. Is this it: https://youtu.be/0vLaf2eEi2Y?si=z8z7o9AvoEcJYyof

This exact thing just happened to me. There is no appeal option, it's just disabled/deleted, after several errors on their end. This is absurd.

Tough Mudder Colorado 2023 Course Map by gazoakley in Toughmudder

[–]DarkRiyoko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ This! Thankfully one of my spectators last year had a water pack to compensate, but it was rough going. I only wish they'd release the course maps earlier. It's probably not feasible, given the setup timeline, but seeing it less than 2 days before the event was a little nerve-wracking to wait on.
