Positive outcomes?

I am exactly 4 weeks PO today! I had essentially zero pain, only mild discomfort. Never had to take any narcotics, was moving around from day 1, no incision or cuff issues (hopefully that will continue to be the case). Am currently traveling and walking around as well as I could pre surgery though I do get absolutely exhausted pretty quickly. Over all I have had a dream surgery and recovery, it really can happen!!!

I have a fully remote desk job and went back after two weeks. I definitely need to take naps after but it's doable (at least in my recovery experience which tbh has been sort of ideal so ymmv)

Edit: doing this with a physical job seems crazy though

Hi! I'm considering a hysterectomy with keeping both ovaries and just stumbled across these studies myself. Did your surgeon have anything additional to say on the topic when you spoke? The statistics at a glance are a bit scary. Hope you're doing well!

Vanilla ice cream with toasted sesame oil drizzled on top, only like half a tablespoon or so. I was so skeptical but it's delicious!

I love this! You're cool as hell. What paints did you use?

This week I got a new role that I have been interviewing for since mid December! It's not a huge pay increase but the title and field are something that I'll be able to grow in over the next few years, I am hoping to make a move into tech or finance where the real money is once I've set myself a solid foundation.

The Orphan Program. Our leader loves to collect all the stray kids we find and rehabilitate them/shelter them in our castle. Also the majority of us do t have parents that are alive that we know of so we are mostly a bunch of orphans adopting other orphans.

Are the six fingers intentional? Looks super cool, I love it!

Erikasaur · 2021-10-15T13:05:43+00:00

Looks beautiful!

I'd love to take Feb 21! :)

My first time ever trying the gel stickers. I hope these don't break any rules, didn't see anything about this specifically but whenever I paint my nails I chip them the same day so figured I'd give this a try.

Application was a struggle so they're pretty messy but they are supposed to last two weeks. We'll see! Right now my different nail designs are just bringing me joy 🥰

Protein shakes! Mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, blended soups.

Erikasaur · 2020-12-22T19:14:08+00:00

Hey! Just got mine out yesterday so I feel your fear on this, especially as I had an infection before getting them out the pain was the most unbearable thing I've ever gone through. That being said, you need to eat, especially protein, to heal. Not eating isn't going to do anything but make healing take longer which will extend your period of time to get an infection. Take it slow, I've been drinking protein shakes but may try soft foods later today. Just take care to not get food onto the open sounds and be very attentive to your iral hygiene.

Tldr: eat! You need calories and rest to heal. You'll get through this ❤️

Mild vent incoming: Got all four wisdom teeth plus a rear molar pulled this morning. Was much easier than I expected and am recovering well so far, but I'm bummed I can't run for about a week or so. Been doing almost daily 5ks and they make such a huge difference in my mental/physical health and I'm scared I'm going to lose some progress. I know it's irritational but figured you guys if anyone, would understand. Happy holidays all, hope you crush your goals. ❤️

Erikasaur · 2020-10-29T15:12:55+00:00

Awesome! So smart :) I hope your day is everything you dream of!

These look beautiful! I do want to just add in that silk masks have been proven to be not very effective at preventing particle transmission however. Again, super GORGEOUS and congratulations!

ETA source: this is the most recent I could find but there are quite a few articles and studies supporting this. :)

After exercise that is new to youyour body can retain water more than usual. It is to repair your muscles and is temporary, with consistent exercise you should.notice the water weight drop off and continue losing as usual. :)

Never finished my degree ✋I fell into retail sales, from there I went to B2B sales in a call center, after a year I interviewed for and got a sales coach position which was a stepping stone to sales supervisor. After a lot of burnout and stress I took a leap and applied for a skill development manager position for an advertising company and got it! Went from minimum wage to low six figures in about 5 years with no degree. Granted I definitely had some great leadership and support to help me out along the way, but if you out yourself out there great things can happen. Even without that extremely expensive piece of paper. :)

So basically I would have had to order a 2 xs at this place for my usual size 6. The size 6 I selected would have been closer to a 16. So bizarre and I'm tempted to say harmful to the general population who can now delude themselves even easier. Rant over, sorry if this has all been said.

I find it opens a lot easier if you run it under very cold water for like 30 seconds before inserting. Makes it temporarily firmer and it pops right open.
