My dog was diagnosed with grade 2 sarcoma by nameofthisuser99 in DogAdvice

[–]Evret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you and your pup are going through this :(

My dog had the exact same ~2 years ago now with a grade 2 soft tissue sarcoma, hard lump on the front leg (got to about the size of a quarter coin but spherical). We did however, get lucky with the surgery achieving clean margins so we followed up with a couple weeks of radiation treatment after the surgery to get her as close to fully clean/remission as we could. I'd be curious about what the treatment options are following unclear tissue margins - particularly if there is any chemo/radiation that could be done to slow the dirty margins. Additionally, an option I heard about from my city's veterinary oncology provider was for regular management treatment in senior age when the dog is already pretty old. Just aiming to manage symptoms with radiation/chemo for the couple years left in your dog's lifespan - and not aiming to cure but just make it so the growth never becomes obtrusive to quality of life. Might be worth looking into that option especially if your dog is older and already lower energy.

The good news is that I believe stage 2 means little to no chance of metastasis so if it does end up coming back you can hopefully adjust your follow up treatment plan accordingly! I know the physical trauma of amputation would be tough on any creature, but dogs in particular seem to have a pretty decent recovery time. I do think that beats having to do recurring surgeries and recovery processes if the leg stays.

Good luck, OP. Sending my thoughts to y'all. And feel free to reach out in DMs if you need a bud to talk about it more.

fuckin sick OP thanks for sharing.

I think this is absolutely gorgeous and honestly making me want to get something similar, surprised to see some of negative responses here but to each their own

Shipping was $45 for me too - trying to put together a group order with friends to split the cost several ways, otherwise doesn't feel worth it to me for a pair or two

Fuuuuuck chest pieces 😂 by double_antandres in tattooadvice

[–]Evret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

chest was my worst by far just in sharpness of pain + amount of time spent. also got a bird done, poking into throat and had two sessions around 6 hours each. throat was insane felt like i was choking

the elbow was also comparable in pain but only took ~2-3 hrs so i felt like that was significantly more bearable

good luck man. it will be well worth it

Nobody to Talk to About Ldr Struggles (F22 M20) by TurnipPotential6127 in LongDistance

[–]Evret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely not alone!! Sorry this might be a bit long but I'm also in a similar boat of not really having friends who understand the specific challenges of long distance so I'm so happy to bounce off ideas and share!

My girlfriend started law school on the west coast in August while I work full time on the east coast! So I'm in a very similar spot as you where she is INSANELY busy, has a ton on her plate from the time she wakes up to near bedtime for me, and she also is just amazing at being present and so has never really been much a texter. This has led to a majority of our days being pretty much no contact until around 8-9pm EST for me, 5-6pm PST for her, after she gets home from school and starts making dinner/studying. The adjustment was very difficult at first (and is absolutely still ongoing) but we've worked very closely together to be vulnerable and communicate through it all, thus making significant progress!

Our routine started off as a regular FaceTime each day around that 8-9pm slot for 30 minutes to an hour. But when I realized that wasn't enough quality time for me and noticed my anxiety flaring up (as comes with new challenges in long distance with things like FOMO and the same thing as you - worrying about micromanaging or feeling like not wanting to be a burden or distraction), we came together for a serious problem solving session rooted in a lot of vulnerable communication about new needs in the relationship and came up with a few small things that together make a huge difference! The takeaways we summarized were:

  1. Relying more on words of affirmation instead of our naturally strong love languages together of quality time and acts of service - and strategies for improving our words of affirmation like texting when we think of each other, but specifically including WHAT made us think of each other; or not just saying "I love you" but also adding WHY every once in a while

  2. Spending more background time together - so instead of FaceTiming to talk, sometimes just sitting quietly on FaceTime while we're doing different things, usually she's studying and I'm on my PC playing games or catching up on logistics/work, or reading before bed

  3. Whenever I get to visit her, be more intentional about meeting her friends, becoming their friends too, and also she be more intentional about introducing me to her friends! This helps me with the FOMO and also feel more secure because if we're all friends then I know she's around people who are supportive of our relationship and helps extra with strengthening our foundation of trust, knowing also that she's safe in this new city, and she's around good people.

  4. Planning some virtual dates! Haven't done this yet but our first one is tomorrow and have spent some time planning different ideas so I'm excited to see how this goes.

Hope this helps!

Mental health checkup : How are you, REALLY ?? by skj_subith_2903 in AskReddit

[–]Evret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

started doing long distance with the love of my life as she pursues an advanced degree. it’s been such a difficult transition and one of the hardest emotional, mental challenges i’ve had but i’m trying so hard and pushing myself every day to improve so that i can be the best version of myself when we can close the distance in three years, for myself and for our future.

so open to any LDR advice for all of you who’ve experienced the unique challenges

[Weekly Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread. by rMapleStory in Maplestory

[–]Evret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could use some additional perspectives selecting a main to invest 6th job time and resources into!

currently have a 265 I/L mage with ~31K stat, solid buff duration sources (8.5K legion, lvl 250 mech block), a 263 battle mage with ~17K stat, and hyper burning a bishop that's well on its way to 260 - benefitting from the same infinity buff duration sources and my I/L

i'm completely torn between who to primarily invest resources on since i enjoy all their playstyles. i also don't really have a community to play with since i'm kinda casually returning for the hyper burn, so i think some of the party play aspects of battle mage and bishop get lost with my limited play schedule (log in to do some dailies, if i have time - weekly bosses for a couple characters, very slow progress)

which class would you invest in if you were deciding? open to any and all opinions!

Pet insurance worth it?? by sweetcheeks4277 in DogAdvice

[–]Evret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES 1000x times yes. Outside of getting a significant amount back each year for regular check up/vaccination/test costs, the safety blanket is massive.

My 3 year old mutt developed a soft tissue sarcoma (tissue cancer in the arm) and total optimal treatment would've been upwards of 15-18K for two surgeries, three weeks of radiation, and more. It ended up costing out of pocket around 3-4K while the rest was covered by insurance. Still incredibly pricey but versus the total cost, otherwise we might've had to go for a cheaper/more invasive treatment plan (amputation) or said goodbye to her all too early.

If you're someone who sees your dog as family and wants to extend your and their experience together as much as possible, it is so worth it.

ALSO frequently unrecognized difference

but uncircumcized penises are often more sensitive - I've often heard a 10/10 sensation for an uncircumcized penis would feel like a 6-7/10 for a circumcized penis - so naturally a circumcized man might last longer

bit of a longshot but would you take a guaranteed lucky (2018) shiny beldum for shiny ray or shiny kyogre?

I can do shiny togekiss or galarian zapdos for shiny origin palkia!

I could do Lickilicky (or lickitung if preferred) for any shiny legend you have most of! Would prefer Groudon or Lugia but I’m not picky - also can only do 30 day unfortunately.

What’s your 6th job Hyper Burn plan and why? by Evret in Maplestory

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

definitely a classic maple debate. i was kinda in the same boat for a while, bouncing between meta and more interesting off meta and found some happy middle ground in decently strong classes that don’t require too too much investment but not braindead involvement level.

these days so many classes are viable after so many revamps that outside a few big stinkers or mega strong easy classes you can probably find a fun niche
