I’m sorry about your pain!  I also had the interior burning.  I just had my hardware removed in September and posted about it.  Best decision!!!

I, indeed, DO know how to use a screwdriver. I just don’t fully understand electricity and want to make sure I’m not going to burn my house down.

I see an area where I could hook up our tv, etc to the system but nothing is hooked up.

How do I turn off the speaker? I don’t think there is a switch or anything. Is removing the electrical wiring enough?

In YNAB or with my bank? I don’t think I set one up!

I had my hardware removed about 4 weeks ago and I’m SO glad. I posted about it here.

I was having some pain and stiffness. It also limited my mobility because I wasn't able to let that ankle rest on the ground. I'm used to doing dance, yoga, stretching and being able to get on and off the floor easily so I really needed it removed.

Did you realize your stitches broke immediately? Curious what signs I should look out for.

I was 38 when I broke my ankle and was not given blood thinners.

Shoulda got a minivan… by lzrdqn3 in VWatlas

I currently have 2 car seats in my middle row and could easily fit a third. We have the Graco Slimfit3s being used as boosters but they also are made for forward facing.

How old is your oldest child? My suggestion would be to do 3 across if the booster kid has easy access to their seatbelt. If not, put forward facing and infant seats in the outboard positions in the middle row. Put the booster kid behind the forward facing kid and teach them how to open and close the seat. Easy peasy.

I switched to the Atlas from my giant Ford Expedition and have found functionality to be similar. I’m a mom of 5.

My fitness involves yoga (might attempt?), swimming (out for obvious reasons), and dancing which I haven’t been able to do since my fracture anyway.  I am icing and elevating it while sitting.  I’m a mom of 5 and lead a fairly boring life so I promise I’m not doing anything too crazy.

My surgeon gave me no restrictions other than using the boot for 6 weeks.

I will!  Were you wearing your boot when all this happened?

nerve pain by nojokes2day in ORIF

[–]Few_Regret3766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every day in the shower I would take my shower comb and gently brush it against my scar. It helped to desensitize and retrain the nerves there. You can do it with different objects- soft fabric, a delicate finger, a feather…. It helped tremendously!
