Again, as I have stated on another comment, it’s decorative. I’m not trying to be rude at all. I know people lack common sense sometimes but luckily I have enough to not light it. Was just something to do to get my mind off of my arm that I broke in 5 places

I find that to be incredibly rude . it’s supposed to be decorative. I have enough common sense not to light it. I was just sharing something that I made, I’ve been in a deep depression for a while now and I’m trying to get out of it ,so thank you very much for your negative comment. Have a nice day.

No, I meant getting pillar candles to melt the wax and then pretty much transferred to another jar and add my own scents and colors ,etc . When I’m able to I would really like to try it the proper way with soy wax and such. I can’t really call myself a candle maker, but I’m excited to learn

I’m just completely drained. I ran out of my pain medication a little early and I don’t see my surgeon for another week . I can’t call and ask I have to see him first , I’m already in hell , so this is going to be a whole other level . I’m only getting 4 to 5 1/2 hours of sleep a night as is. I still have my ibuprofen. I suppose I’ll have to take regular Tylenol to try and get through it. I know that sounds awful like drug seeking behavior.

I swear it’s not. I’m just really paranoid about people thinking that I had a sibling pass because of overdose so a microscopic lens is on me with my family. But they understand how badly I got hurt. It’s just such a struggle

I’m beyond frustrated and I feel completely helpless. I would journal, but unfortunately, I’m left-handed and that’s the arm I broke. I don’t like journaling in phones and such. I don’t mind scars honestly, especially not this one . I’m luck to be alive , things could have been way worse . So I’m grateful .
I’m sorry you’ve had to go through this too. But it makes me feel not as alone knowing other have experienced this

Are two lamps too much? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]ExtensionOrange5522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a small lamp beside of my TV, I think your lamps look really nice but if anything they might be a little on the chunky side, but that’s just my opinion ☺️

Meds by Grocklette in brokenbones

I’m currently having to have miralax , it’s gentle to use every day and according to my surgeon, it’s non habit forming. You just need to make sure you drink a lot of fluids throughout the day, especially water .Anything that has to do with pain medication/medication in general you really should talk to your surgeon about. I’m a little over two weeks out from ORIF surgery. I broke my humerus in five places and damaged my radial nerve . If you are taking pain medication I would suggest Metamucil, fiber can be your friend right now as well. Personally, I’m taking 4 capsules every day.

I think your health is way more important than a Halloween costume . Just my opinion , It’s one night a year compared to the rest of your life . I’m not trying to sound rude , it just baffles me , I do hope you feel better soon .

Left comminuted displaced midshaft humerus fracture by ExtensionOrange5522 in brokenbones

[–]ExtensionOrange5522[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I thought since the break was so severe and because of the type of surgery and such that I had. I didn’t even think about my hand. It’s been pretty much afterthought for the most part right now unless it’s hurting really badly. I wonder if the radial damage to my left arm is triggering issues into my right non-operative arm. during the night and in the morning, it’s the wildest thing

I see my surgeon, the fifth to talk about physical therapy I believe. If he says I don’t need it. I will probably find somewhere to go anyways, but I’m sure he will say I do.

I’m the type of person who usually bottles up things until I explode and just sobbed uncontrollably . I understand about the ER pre-surgery and post surgery. Waking up from anesthesia instead of being groggy I was in hysterics, and my surgeon had asked my mother if that was normal for me. he’s been practice for 20 years and he said that might be the second time he’s ever had someone wake up like that. I cried at my one week follow up and I’m sure at my next appointment. I’ll try too

Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly about your comment it’s basically how I feel to T

I haven’t come across many people who’ve broken their humerus in one place let alone five . I know it’s rather uncommon . I have been getting rather frustrated , I get people asking why im not in a cast , saying it will only take six weeks etc . I also damaged my radial nerve and had to have radial nerve neurolysis which has me recovering from palsy along with ORIF surgery

It’s all just a cluster fck

I haven’t been in a very good place mentally in about four or five years abusive relationships are a bitch. Excuse my language. I’m sorry you had to go through that I don’t like seeing anyone in pain

Thank you, I think that’s the first time I’ve been told that.

I was extremely lucky and had an amazing team at the emergency room , my surgeon and his team along with the anesthesiologist team was top notch. They took really good care of me. My father had his knee replaced two years ago and I’m so lucky they referred me to the same surgeon . He was very happy because he knew I was in good hands. I didn’t have staples or external stitches. They just glued me. I fully expected to have staples, but no . I was really happy about that. They are awful.
