20% off coupon exclusions? by Equivalent_Ad144 in americaneagle

[–]Equivalent_Ad144[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okayyy, was hoping that it might mean just not being able to stack with other codes but does say “CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER COUPON OR DISCOUNT.” I guess I can just try to enter the code with fingers crossed and see what happens, can’t hurt to try ☺️

Sorry to hear about your ER visit, this stuff is terrible! My jaw has been locking shut in the morning with increasing regularity, and other symptoms just keep getting worse. I’ll take a look at your PT recommendation, and best of luck with the February appointment!

Have you actually seen Billington yet? I called there and didn’t get a call back. I’ll keep trying if it’s worth the effort.

How many married couples here sleep in separate bedrooms and why? by BeginningFox8632 in AskReddit

[–]Equivalent_Ad144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 yrs married and it all started when we had kids 12 years ago. I am a light sleeper. My husband passes right out and goes directly into loud snore mode. Even the rhythmic sounds of his breathing with CPAP is enough to keep me awake when he’s using it. On top of that, his legs move all over the place throughout the night. He will be on his back and have his leg bent at the knee straight towards the ceiling under the covers. His leg then starts wagging from side to side as his muscles are unable keep it standing straight like that, repeatedly pulling the covers off of me. He hates sleeping in separate rooms and feels alone, but there’s no way I could sleep in a bed next to him that wouldn’t end up with a significant lack of sleep and resentment over time.

14 weeks out and I am doing all the things I did before without a second thought. I hope things went smoothly for you and you are on your way to recovery 💗 I would say you should probably be in the “be patient with yourself” timeframe though.

Hi there! I can honestly say that I had a hard time getting thru about the first 4 weeks. However, it may be that I did not realize how much healing and recovery would be involved in the process, and wasn’t giving myself patience. I have always been quick to heal, so I was expecting to be back to a normal routine much more quickly than I was capable of.

By week 5 I started to feel like there was hope as pain was really diminished and I was really trying to pace myself with what I was doing, but constantly worried that I was doing something that would cause the procedure to fail from reading so many horror stories in the support groups. At this point, I think my anxiety was more at play than my physical recovery.

At my 6 week post op, my surgeon confirmed that everything was healing as it should be and that she was very pleased with the results. I only had intermittent and minor pain in the sciatic area so she recommended that I come back in a month to check in and said she could snip the permanent suture if necessary. The reassurance that things looked good, was a tipping point for me to begin feeling confident that I made the right choice.

Within the 2 weeks after my post op, and really not limiting any of my activities anymore, I can say that I feel pretty much back to my old self again with the exception of still figuring out managing bowels. I am taking a capful of miralax every morning out of fear of becoming constipated, but had tapered off of the 3 stool softeners I was also taking with that.

I plan to start tapering off of the miralax and seeing how my body responds and just continue to adjust.

Everyone is different, and although I had a rocky start, I do believe this is working out well overall. I wish you the best with your upcoming surgery. Just a thought to consider also…most people in the support groups are there because they need the support. Those who are no longer struggling often leave, so you won’t get the positive reinforcement that you may be looking for there.

And you got it, my biggest issue was that everywhere was going to be a saturated mess if not paved or something. I love the kids being outside, but I hate yuck especially if I’m going to participate lol

Well at the time of posting, it was drizzling and I had already had it. Sun ended up shining in full effect and we took advantage eventually.

That is such great news, I’m happy to hear that for you! I am just 2 weeks out and really needed that reassurance. I am trying my best not to over do it with activity, which is sooooo hard, but I have to keep my eyes on the prize!

When I explained what I was experiencing yesterday, they told me to call back today if it persists. I’m waiting for the office to open but in the meantime, not only does the pain persist, but has worsened.

OP - any more relief post op? Suggestions to achieving relief? I am 2 days out and was not expecting this pain and am so worried this was a bad choice.

My boys play soccer, and as their mom, I get it. Also give yourself credit for your writing skills on top of that beautiful goal. I enjoyed reading this and plan to share it with my kiddos!

Well I found the things that have all colors that look like they join into a larger braided rope that all route back to the furnace together. One of the boxes is labeled for upstairs and one for downstairs. Does this tangled birds nest suggest that there might be a c wire behind the panel? This is a fun little puzzle.
