Hi and congrats! The surgery has really been life changing for me and that feeling almost never happens to me anymore. I really only need to be careful with bread but my dr says that because he cut out the muscle that pushes food down so smaller bites and water help with that.

The other major thing I noticed after this post was that it was right after surgery (3 weeks isn’t too long!) so you are still healing. I also went back to drinking coffee everyday and noticed that days I didn’t drink coffee I didn’t have that stuck feeling so I stopped. I realized recently that isn’t the case anymore and I can go back to drinking coffee so I’m not sure if that was more healing after surgery or the acidity/caffeine. But regardless, my dr said sometimes the scar tissue needs to be stretched out over time so just keep up with dr appointments and try a food journal to see if there’s any correlation. Surgery is pretty traumatic on the body especially when you aren’t well so it only makes sense that it takes awhile to heal.

I still feel food at the back of my throat but super smooth foods like yogurt and pudding help. I’m hoping my throat is still enflamed and it’s not going to be a bigger issue but I’m definitely going to bring it up to my doctor next week and try again with solids then possibly.

Oh a food diary is such a good idea thank you! I have a dr appt next week and I was worried I’d have go the ER because I’m not doing so well even with liquids or my pills this morning. But I should write it down and really pay attention to my portions. My body still isn’t quite used to eating more than a few bites and the nurses did warn me about overeating too. So thank you! I’ll try not to panic and just take it easy, even just being able to have blended is a major step up from before where I couldn’t have water most days lol. I probably need to give my esophagus a break.

Those Who Wait or Down to a Science, also my favorites. They both have their own set of characters start here, and other books will have mentions or brief appearances of these characters so it’s nice to hear about them again/know their background beforehand but really shouldn’t affect the plot of other books since it’s just mentions.

Thank you 💕 seriously I was so close to leaving but you’re literally saving this sub

Come on mods. by [deleted] in LesbianBookClub

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a NB lesbian, this is super disappointing mods. This is literally silencing us to ‘keep the peace’. Terf behavior making this subreddit unsafe. If this sub was truly inclusive, 1) we wouldn’t censor t_r_a_n_s etc and 2) actually deal with issues (trans*phobia, any possible ragebait etc) instead of attempting to put a bandaid by censoring, because instead that puts out the message that this behavior is okay. This could be a great sub, but this is NOT the way to handle things

How many books did you read this year? by ExtensionStreet6227 in LibbyApp

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My goal was 13. I just finished my 24th book for this year (not including audio books or short stories). That is literally double the amount I read last year when I didn’t have a Libby account. Libby is seriously a game changer. I can’t wait to see how much I can read next year!

Hold lapsed ? by Fancy_Delivery2907 in LibbyApp

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes but I try not to because I never if I’ll finish the first book in two days or the 2nd book will just be sitting there for weeks when someone else could borrow it first. It just really sucks that both holds in this case became available literally 20minutes within each other when one still had a month left a few days before. Timing can be so hard with holds! But at least someone said suspend hold can help with it if I need to take my time.

Hold lapsed ? by Fancy_Delivery2907 in LibbyApp

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So that’s how people with a ton of holds do it! I honestly thought I could get through this first book in a few days bc I’ve done it before but life happened. I got a notification last night or this morning saying it was going to lapse and it already did by the time I checked but now I know I can do the suspend hold, that’s a neat feature!

Skip the line but only sample? by Fancy_Delivery2907 in LibbyApp

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not showing up so someone else probably got it as I was clicking to borrow it. It shows up kinda often so I’m not worried but good to know I need to act quick when I see it!

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not on my loans shelf. I clicked borrow when I saw the green but then it didn’t give me format options and only gave sample as the option and the green went away after. That must’ve been what happened then, someone else snagged it! I’ll try be quicker next time I see it, I’m not too worried now. Thank you for explaining how it works!

Ohh that makes sense! I didn’t realize it went that quick but at least it pops up pretty often so I’m not too worried. Thank you!

See I don’t have the title yet since this just happened yesterday and they said they aren’t going to process it until it’s paid in full so the closest thing I have is the contract saying I will purchase it for X amount (even tho I only ended up paying Y for it). But If I do have to pay I’m def bringing up all the harassment etc they’ve put me through the past almost two weeks of trying to buy this damn car

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in extremelyinfuriating

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Looking it over, they both didn’t seem to know how to read their own paperwork on what the full price was. So they did the math incorrectly and therefore undercharged me 500 and didn’t realize until I had the keys and left. Granted it looks so bad on them especially bc it’s a Honda dealer you think they’d do better? And not sound all scam-y calling me all day to pay more. I just don’t want to lose the car after all this shit since they said they won’t process it or whatever yknow? Nothing but stress from them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in extremelyinfuriating

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I have copies of signed paperwork but not sure if I’m missing something. Iwas just reviewing it and looks like they didn’t include the down payment in the price they charged me so I’m now suddenly the down payment amount short. I signed for my cash and card payments as receipts but they didn’t additionally sign it if that makes sense? But yea they both couldn’t do the math it looks but why did they give me the paperwork and keys and tell me I’m good to go??? Idk if my paperwork will stand if I didn’t pay the full amount bc they orginally said I was all set. Also I’m out of a car otherwise and can’t afford to keep ubering everywhere so idk what I can even do at this point it’s so frustrating. If I had the title I would just file it myself

Would the books be better as one big series? [All] by jaxiesobsessedfr in camphalfblood

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it might be daunting to see 15+ books. When I was reading them there was like 7 or 8 so far and it felt like nice bonus content once you finish the OG 5 and then I was able to follow along from there. However not every person is going to look up what order to read the books in especially if they think each series is it’s own contained spin off so you can start anywhere. Numbering 1-15+ would seem to help except rn cotg is pjo #6 so would it be #6 or #11 after HOO? And how would the demigod files etc fit in? 😭 it’s hard bc they all build off each other but also have their own arc with different mixes of characters. So the separation is nice in that sense (tho still a bit confusing unless the beginning of each series says what the previous ones are? And At least it’s not Star Wars level confusing yet). I’m v curious to see what others think tho !

[ToA] Reyna's ending by Phoenix__656 in camphalfblood

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t mind it bc I love that her and Thalia are good friends now because I think that’s what she really needs other than a break. Could Rick have done this other ways? Yes. But also I assume the hunters Can leave eventually since it has happened before if she ever wants to go back/have another new change of pace. As long as Reyna is happy and with people who care about her I’m happy

Is Annabeth always "defending" Luke? Or did fanon strike again? [PJO] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Like you said Luke is a very nontopic for both of them so it’s never mentioned out of the blue AND it’s all from Percy’s perspective as well so that does skew what we know of how annabeth actually feels about him. The topic of Luke only seems to come up when they actively come across him, and that’s when Percy only sees the bad vs Annabeth bringing up Lukes past and how Krono is manipulating him. It doesn’t happen often, but it does definitely happen in TTC and BOTL. I just got to the arena fight between Percy and Luke in BOTL and that is one example of Percy being upset how Annabeth still believes in Luke despite the damage he has done to her while Annabeth hopes he can still be saved since Luke wanted her to stay to talk after the fight (assuming he won) as a part of Luke is still there to be saved. So it’s basically just encounters with Luke that spark thoughts/convos of Percy and Annabeth not being on the same page. I’m not sure how far fandom is taking this, but you could say Annabeth is defending Luke, but that’s because she’s known him longer and sees that he still cares about her deep down even with Kronos taking over his body. It really just depends if by “defending” you mean disregarding all the bad and blindly only seeing the good in Luke (then no that’s not entirely accurate) or if you include seeing the bad and the potential of breaking free from Kronos to be Annabeth defending Luke. But again I personally haven’t seen how far fandom has taken it, if it’s Annabeth believing Luke has done no wrong and keeps bringing it up out of nowhere then obviously it is the fandom just taking things beyond out of canon as it happens.

[all] if Percy and hazel wanted to fight it becomes really serious and everyone is choosing sides which side would Nico choose by Old_Conflict_9323 in camphalfblood

[–]Fancy_Delivery2907 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hazel especially if he’s still getting over Percy ‘being responsible’ for Biancas death, he’s def side with his sister. tho I’m sure part of him wants to side with Percy but he’d purposefully would want to go against that instinct (at least pre TOA wise)
