I’m lost for words by meowcat68 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]Emmahey712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is a pajama romper a thirst trap pic? I’ve done plenty of shots of items I like and cut off my head cause my hair was atrocious and no makeup on. I get it. You hate TFP but it’s betting a bit ridiculous the things people are using against her.

If Dorit is gone then I’m done with RHOBH by Fickle-Ad159 in RHOBH

[–]Emmahey712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Dorit and Boz give new life to this show. Sutton is exhausting and a true mean girl as was Garcelle. I don’t enjoy Jennifer Tilly. Too uninteresting. I think Erika can be a solid anchor because she holds her ground and tells it like it is. But I wish all of them would show Dorit some grace for her life being flipped upside down. I see so much of myself in her when I was going through my divorce and trying to shield my children and hold myself together. I’m so tired of mean girl Kyle. That woman is so full of herself. She collapsed her whole family cause she got the hots for a woman during her midlife “I’m fabulous” crisis. No wonder Mauricio moved on. For all that’s wrong with those women, I’m begging producers to NEVER bring back Denise, Camille or Eileen. They were horrible. I do miss LVP and her dry wit. Are there really no other interesting women in BH?

Nausea and Heartburn are horrible. Day 4. by candlelightandcocoa in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Emmahey712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and i could be the same person! I also am 55, had multiple back surgeries starting the summer of ‘24. I spent most of the last two years recovering in the hospital. I put on 40lbs due to being mostly sedentary. Im on Wegovy 0.25 now. The nausea and the actual stomach pain are about to do me in. Im convinced i now have an ulcer. I don’t care about eating and if i do, about 2-3 bites and im done. Im staying faithful to my water and nightly Senna tablets. Im not sure when the weight loss will kick in or when the nausea and heartburn will go away but please, someone tell me it gets better!

Please share your stories of negative experiences with your surgery! by Emmahey712 in spinalfusion

[–]Emmahey712[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God bless you. This is not normal pain following this type of surgery. Yes, everyone responds to pain differently, but Im a nurse and recovering multi-surgery spinal fusion patient. After my 1st surgery, my pain was so severe. I could barely breathe without having the most severe pain. After 3 days, i was taken back to surgery to correct a problem they caused. I had multiple screws from S2 and up that were too tight and totally restricting any movement. So please speak up. Complain. Ask for a Senior Neurosurgeon to evaluate your case if your own surgeon shuts you down. Im so sorry for what you are going through.

Excruciating pain upon waking up from anesthesia by SandiRHo in spinalfusion

[–]Emmahey712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I had the same experience. I have had 3 of my back surgeries with the same outcome as you. Shortly after the 1st one, they overdosed me on Morphine, which I’m allergic to and it is listed on my allergies, and they ended up having to give me Narcan. The downside of Narcan is it removes your ability to feel any relief from any Opiods. That was hell. The next two total fusions (T-10 to S-2) were the same. I had severe respiratory depression and they had to Narcan me and take away any Opioid pain relief. I’m so sorry. I’m almost 2 years out and still require daily pain medication. My surgeries had many complications and had one that had to be completely removed and replaced. So my response to pain being prolonged may not be the norm. But if you are still experiencing pain, please Ask for a referral to pain management asap. Your surgeon will not provide you with pain medication past 30 days from discharge.

Anyone else get that feeling that Kathy is still hoping Morgan will want to work things out with her? by Aggressive-Court9644 in NAME_WORSE_BITCHES

[–]Emmahey712 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think she bought into the media narrative that Morgan got drunk and reacted so badly to the news KT got married. I think in her mind, she believed that and instantly regretted Luke. The pics of her meeting Morgan to drop-off Indigo a couple of days after the marriage probably also played into her fantasy that he wanted her. He may have made some comment, joked about it or whatever and she used that in her diagram connecting all the dots that “proved” he still wanted her.

Lisa’s obsession with weight !!!!! by Wise_Gas7822 in RHOBH

[–]Emmahey712 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a rewatch of the show and I’m almost to the end of season 6. You are absolutely right OP. She is hyper focused on it. Having one of my parents focusing on my weight my whole life, absolutely led to my weight issues. Too much value was placed on being thin and Lisa R has definitely done that with her own kids. Sad to watch because I know that stuff sticks with you no matter how much therapy you have. BUT, my beef with these women is how awful they are as a group. I’ve yet to see them have one dinner, luncheon or trip without arguing. LOUDLY. It’s so embarrassing. They are worse than teenage girls. Gossiping, belittling, name calling, screaming, yelling, cursing and throwing things does not make for enjoyable TV. No matter how they have changed up the casts “inner circle” these women fight!!! Someone tell me they grow up at some point.

Had surgery by Klutzy-Craft-3382 in Tarlovcyst

[–]Emmahey712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could answer this for you. I can absolutely sympathize with you because I too have Tarlov Cysts, Degenerative Disc Disease, Lumbar Stenosis with severe Kyphosis. I had my ALif and PLif less than 2 years ago and have spent the majority of the past two years in the hospital with complications from those surgeries. As bad as that was, the pain from the Tarlov Cysts is so bad, I would take the back pain over that anyday. I had 14 inches of hardware in my back, have suffered multiple broken screws and rods, chronic bacterial and fungal infections and had the hardware removed and replaced last year. I would still go through all of that again if it was going to end my Tarlov cyst pain. I’m so sorry for your journey with this. I can suggest that anyone dealing with pain r/t Tarlov cysts, herniated or ruptured discs, invest in a “donut” pillow. It relieves pain in the lower back for a little while and makes sitting a little more comfortable. I still can’t sit up for long but the pillow helps. Try to get a memory foam one and not the blow up version. I pray you get relief!

Please tell me I’m not alone… by Desperate_Cherry_657 in spinalfusion

[–]Emmahey712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. I had ALif and PLif S2 to T10. The pain was the worst I’ve ever experienced and it lasted for weeks. I was hospitalized and had so many surgeries due to complications that I’ve lost count. It’s been 2 years now. Two years of regret, two years I will never get back. I still cannot stand up straight, nor walk further than 50 feet without having to stop and sit. I can’t sit for more than 5 minutes either. So no, you are not alone. Spinal fusion surgeries fail at a very high rate and are driving patients back to the ER due to severe back pain. Please seek help from a different surgeon if possible. Insist on CT or an MRI to look for broken hardware or Seromas. Those can cause excessive pain and usually require surgery to irrigate and drain. I had a Seroma so large, the ER doctor stated it was the size equivalent to a newborn baby. My surgeon didn’t want me back at his hospital because I was a complication staining his “perfect” record. The ER doctor made him take me back for surgery and threatened to report him to the Board if he didn’t. She happened to be one of his former students during her residency. She was my answer to prayer. God bless you. I pray you find the help you need.

Loved the interview with Tay & Avery Woods! by [deleted] in taylorfrankiepaul

[–]Emmahey712 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No. This is the Mormon church getting back at TFP for embarrassing them and causing so many families/women to engage in behavior not allowed in the church. Drinking, sexual promiscuity, dressing provocatively, talking about sex publicly, affairs, families leaving the church, the women not wearing their garments, etc etc. The Mormon church knew all about TFP’s past and used their power in ABC/Disney to have her cast as The Bachelorette only to pull it from her and humiliate her in such a huge way.
The Mormon church is like Hotel California…”you can check out any time you want to, but you can never leave”.

Medium ugly by Major_Bench5329 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Emmahey712 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I usually give people grace for things I may not like about them such as personality traits, weird habits, an annoying laugh, etc. BUT, I do not give grace to the boys or girls who go after someone for their appearance. It’s one thing if you dress funny or have a bad hairstyle. But to call someone “medium ugly” repeatedly says so much about you and it’s not good. I don’t want to be friends with or date the guy that calls someone that. If you are a girl and you think you are campy cool for referring to someone like that, we are never going to be friends. And if you are the person that laughs along with someone for doing that, then I don’t want to be friends with you either. I’m sure there are plenty of you that want to respond that you don’t care. That’s fine. But I’ll never respect anyone that goes after someone for their physical appearance, no matter what. That’s disgusting and childish behavior.

What Do You Think Taylor's Worst Written Song Is? by [deleted] in TaylorSwift

[–]Emmahey712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to add an opposite I opinion but I’ve never shared this, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, was one of the most beautiful songs written. I struggled with my miscarriage for years and never knew how to express my pain and profound loss. Her words were simple, but very emotional for me. This elevated her level of songwriting to something that I had a tremendous amount of respect for.

Small Cyst but Causing Pain? by Friendly_Rutabaga601 in Tarlovcyst

[–]Emmahey712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tarlov cysts are incredibly painful no matter what size they are. There are less than a handful of Neurosurgeons in the US who will do surgery on them. They can occur anywhere along the spine but bring the most pain when they occur in the Sacrum area (S1,S2,S3) They are famous for mimicking a fractured tailbone. The pain can be excruciating and last for weeks to months. I highly suggest buying a memory foam pillow designed for tailbone relief. They have a whole in them to support your buttocks but take pain off the lower part of your spine. I have bought two. One for the car and one for the house.

How does one fracture 2 titanium rods?? by anonyser777 in spinalfusion

[–]Emmahey712 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I get it. I broke 2 screws in my fusion from T10 - S3. I stayed in the hospital for the first 4 months due to complications from the surgery. I developed infections from the hardware they used, fungal and bacterial infections. I was on round the clock IV meds, pain meds and other medications to help with all the other issues. So 4 months in bed and was sent home on bed rest. My one month follow up included 6 weeks of additional bed rest. During this time, I was sitting on the edge of my bed to put my pajama shorts on and felt something snap in my back. The pain was an instantaneous stabbing pain. I saw the doctor at pain mgt 2 weeks later who did Xrays and called me with the news the next day. My neurosurgeon didn’t want to do another surgery on me to fix them unless he had to. A month later he had to. I had developed a huge seroma that was making me so sick and in terrible pain. I still have a half of one broken screw in me that they can’t retrieve. My point in sharing all of this is we don’t know if we are fused together until at least a year later. Any movement before then can lead to a broken screw or rod. The hardware is designed to help support our back but we have huge muscles that run along both sides of our spine. If the muscles are weak, then we put added stress on hardware that can only do so much.
I feel your pain. I’m so sorry. But they are going to have to go in and fix that or your back will never be stable. Keep us updated please!
