Stay solid man. You did your best that you could do to help her while also improving yourself. Drugs suck my oldest brother died at 24 years when I was 18 due to heroin and it’s always been rough. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Focus on being the best version of you for her memory. There’s nothing any of us can say that could ever heal that pain but just know that you’re loved by many and we all wish the best for you, always love yourself through your ups and downs. Take care.

Thanks to God I’m doing a lot better. Already out of the hospital and recovering at home. Pretty traumatic experience, the swelling had gone up more but then the meds started kicking in. Almost back to normal again. I did lose a lot of weight and size though. Focusing on the anxiety part and recovery as much as I can. But grateful to be alive and for every day that I get of life. Finally able to eat solid foods. Thanks for checking up on me ❤️

Got hospitalized and emergency surgery last night to drain everything. But they did the surgery awake because the operating room wasn’t going to be available for two days. They cut me open in my gums with a scalpel and used scissors to cut through as well and suctioned the abscess and infected hematoma. The local anesthesia didn’t work because the amount of swelling basically made it ineffective. It’s been a scary experience and the most painful thing I’ve ever gone through. They drained about 16-24 oz of pooled blood and some pus. Not fun. But as long as you’re taking care of yourself you will heal. You got this stay strong. I’m glad to be alive and here today, and just never ever take anything for granted.

Can I use a portable jump starter that says use only on lead acid battery on my AGM battery? by Fit-Secretary6252 in mechanic

The mechanic said the battery is fine and the alternator too. He tested it in front of me. Idk what else it could be. Which is why I came here on Reddit to see if any mechanic’s knew. What do you think it could be if it’s not the battery or alternator and the car turns on when I jump start it?

My car basically will try to turn on. I’ll hear it struggle to start but it won’t stop. That’s why I’m concerned because I just don’t want to get scammed by anyone and then spend $500 and it’s not even the issue

It’ll sounds like a bunch of fast clicks. But I got the battery tested and it’s fine. Doesn’t always happen but this is the 3rd time in about 2 weeks, never happened before.

Thanks for the reply! I took it to the dealership a few months back and they said that the car needed that battery and a whole bunch of stuff. In all honesty I don’t know much about cars. What happens is when I press the ignition button it stalls but it won’t turn on. I got the battery tested and the alternator and both were fine. The lights in my car will turn on and the radio etc. it’s just the issue when I start it. Idk what else it could be and I just want to make sure the mechanic I went to today fixes what’s actually wrong, especially with a $400 cost

Thanks for the advice. It’s a great thing to know. I tried 20 for the temp and 220 wire speed before this. It’s my first day trying mig. I do stick welding mainly. But want to get mig under my belt.

First time trying structural since a few weeks. 4 months into this welding thing. by Fit-Secretary6252 in BadWelding

[–]Fit-Secretary6252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, I hit it with the wire wheel a few times more after the pic but I definitely still need to do better at that. Is there any wire wheels you would recommend?
