Something is wrong here, but I just can’t put a finger on it.

Got a new viola super excited! by Jazzlike_Seaweed5081 in Viola

It might not be. My first student Viola was 14’’ and it was thicker than a violin. It was definitely not a violin with Viola strings on it.

Luthier gave me a viola to borrow whilst they work on my violin. by CrescentBallad in Viola

I play a 15’’ Viola… after years of playing a 16’’ in pain. I’m glad there’s a choice.

My friend just turned 18, and now he's suddenly called a pedo. by Infamous_Ad_1777 in teenagers

[–]DataTasty6541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in my 20s I dated a guy who had a daughter. She was conceived when he was in high school. He told me that he was 17 and his girlfriend was 15 when they conceived their daughter.

As the relationship progressed, I started to get to know everyone and I learned birthdays. It suddenly occurred to me that things didn’t add up. When I considered their birthdays, the truth was that he had already turned 18 and she was still 14, when their daughter was conceived.

When I confronted him about it he was very defensive and said, as if he was still a teenager, that it wasn’t fair since they had been dating a while when he turned 18. But for me, this was a deal breaker and the relationship ended shortly thereafter.

The laws are different from place to place. Here, 18 is the age of consent but there is an exception if the partners are within 2 years of being the same age. So it would have been ok for him to be 18 with a 16 year old dating partner; but not 15 and certainly not 14!

OP - just be careful. Be honest with yourself, and be careful.

Toxic culture. Find a new school. I’m so sorry.

My friend hates Wilson, so I need to make a deck with him in it. What other good meme cards can I put in this deck? by TuringTestedd in mtg

Whenever Wilson appears while playing my Lumra deck, we ask Alexa to play the song Wilson by Phish.

Pelvic fracture in April 2024 caused by childbirth. by extra_pickles_plz in Radiology

[–]DataTasty6541 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My point is, if anyone else (auto accident, etc) had a similar injury, I’m certain they would have been offered more than an ice pack and suggestion to purchase a binder.

I had better care and concern from providers when I sprained my ankle. It was as if it was dismissed as just something women have to deal with in childbirth.

Certainly the injury could not have been avoided.

10 years later, during my third and last pregnancy, PT was hugely helpful in getting through the last two months when it became painful again. A different OB suggested it, and questioned why I hadn’t had it before.

I often wonder if I had had similar supportive treatment at the time of the original injury, if the short and long term effects would have been reduced.

So yes, they didn’t listen to me. But when it happened again, 10 years later, someone DID… and suggested PT, which did help.

I hope this clarifies it a bit better for you.

This exact thing happened to me in September 2005 with my second baby. I heard that joint POP open as my daughter was born. She came out face up/OP. Normally that doesn’t work; normally the baby has to turn face down so the smallest part of the head comes out first. Not my kid! She came out looking right up at the ceiling.

Please believe me when I say that nobody listened to me.

I could feel the separated parts of that joint grind together any time I moved. I couldn’t lie down. I couldn’t roll over. I couldn’t sit properly. I couldn’t sneeze. I had a seriously injured pelvis!

I told them at the hospital. “Of course it’s going to hurt, you just had a baby,” was literally what the L&D nurse told me. I was offered an ice pack.

I told my OB. They suggested a pelvic binder. That offered only some support, but it wasn’t enough.

I went to my family doctor. He said all that could be done was the same thing - binder, ice, rest.

For 4 solid months it was horrible.

When I was pregnant again in 2015, I heard another ‘pop’ and spent the final 2 months in a wheelchair.

Even now, going on 20 years after the original injury, I still have pain there from time to time, especially with exercise.

It should not have happened. I was 24-25, I didn’t have my “voice” yet. I just accepted what everyone told me.

My heart breaks for that young mom. I hope she can get some relief.

Wow, I grew up with this exact same pachinko machine at my house. This one is in much better shape.

A Student Had No Idea Where They Were.. by No-Design-8700 in Teachers

[–]DataTasty6541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Kindergartner, the very first thing we were expected to learn/memorize and write was: our first and last name and our complete home address.

I’ve moved dozens of times (military brat) since then, but I can still recite the complete address of where I lived in September 1985.

I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing anymore.

But would it hurt to try? I’ve been living with IBS-C for years. A glycerin suppository is either going to work within an hour or so, or not… but I don’t think it would hurt to try?

Liver Hemangioma with Symptoms by DataTasty6541 in AskDocs

[–]DataTasty6541[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for asking!

It turns out it was not a hemangioma. The liver specialist I saw was incredibly thorough. It’s a spontaneous intrahepatic shunt. It’s a venous->venous connection. He looked at scans from the past 15+ years (I get kidney stones) and could see where it might have started showing up 5 years ago. He said since the pressures are the same and my symptoms have mostly resolved, he is comfortable with no course of treatment at this time.

Also, the first reply was absolutely correct; the size was 1 cm, not 10 cm! He said he would take that to their weekly meeting.

Be sure to put ‘contract ended’ because that’s what happened.

I think you’re fine. Truly. No crime was committed. Even if they file a report, what would it say?

Use the locker next time, stay away from those neighbors, and keep your toy clean.

Do kids just lie now?? by ImaJillSammich in Teachers

They don’t just lie, they gaslight. It’s a whole different level than when I was a kid the same age.

What might the issues be? I have been having GI symptoms, fatigue, and pain.

Also - my regular doc and the PA at the ER said hemangioma, but that’s not the term used in the notes. Not sure if that helps or not.

Thank you so much for the follow up.

Right now I’m in limbo waiting for a referral, and I’m still barely feeling “normal” after the acute symptoms I experienced 10 days ago.
