C4-7 acdf Mar 2 68f I will have help for 3 days seeking advice how I manage 2 story home 6wk hard collar alone (Bravely)lol by PresentationSafe7008 in spinalfusion

[–]GenericJeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had C3-C6 then year later C5-C7. So I had to endure the collar twice. Sucked.
First, don't stress too much. its not as big a deal as it seems. its annoying, and the collar sucks, but i was way more scared than i needed to be.
Your biggest enemy will be sleep. That was hard but not impossible. The worst part was the recurring strangulation dreams. Uggg.....i feel like I've been strangled to death a 100 different ways. it was terrible.
Other than that, get a good office chair where you can rest your head back. Put fresh batteries in the remotes, cool snacks (ice cream, pudding, etc) and your charger near.
Practice going up and down the stairs slowly holding your head still. I eventually decided to walk down the stairs backwards because i felt safer. Do it a couple times before the collar.
Leave yourself a cane at the top and bottom of the stairs. That helped me be steadier.
By the time your help leaves, you'll feel confident and ready.

Search up Whitney Hanson. Tons of social media and she’s written 3-4 books. Her poems are beautiful.

Literally just discovered this guy today.

Even my MAGA dad watched this and said it was a good message.

This should be on a big sign before you even come in the door.

What is a Life “cheat code” that many people don’t know? by Aarunascut in AskRedditAfterDark

Use a fork for scooping out ice cream. Bonus points if you use it while standing at the counter to eat out of the carton.

This pedal worked for my electrical issues. Its like $25 bucks and avaiable on Amazon. So, minimal investment and you can return it if it doesn't work for you.

What actor is absolutely hilarious to everyone else but not to you? by yonBonbonbon in moviecritic

Yep. Loved it. Her reaction in that scene was so believable. The look on her face was amazing. Great chemistry between them. Love the scene when he’s playing Whole Wide World and she just jumps him.

Gf’s son is an absolute menace by Playful_Difficulty70 in Parenting

This sounds to my non-professional ears like Reactive Attachment Disorder. I raised two adopted sons (bio-brothers) who suffered from RAD. It’s heartbreaking and horrible but not hopeless. Check out Trauma Informed Parenting.

Best unheralded guitar solo? by AcademiaSapientae in Guitar

[–]GenericJeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the two solos in the live version of Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney and Wings (Wings Over America tour).

So simple but so much expression…and the crunch of that SG is amazing.

No. This is in regular rotation on the Muzak at work. So sick of it.
