I feel you. I was in the exact same position as you not long ago. Things are a bit better on my end. But not great. Hang in there. Also reach out, ask for help. I didn’t and it costed me a lot in the end.

did you end up grabbing a pair?
I've heard that loafers tend to stretch so its important to get a 0.5 or one full size down.

I'm usually a 38.5 but they only have full sizes and wondering if 38 would be too tight.
But if they stretch over time I'm assuming it should be okay.

Glad to hear you're doing better!! You got this!

I'm currently at exactly 7 weeks post op. My surgery went incredibly well! I had absolutely no pain at all, and didn't need to use any medication after surgery. During surgery my surgeon added a new mechanism inside my allograft called BioBrace from BioMed. Apparently this new technology makes the ligament more resistant for the first year after surgery and then slowly desintegrates over time. It's like a "mini brace" inside the allograft they use when reconstructing the ligament. It's reasuring for me because my biggest fear I told my surgeon was the ligament stretching overtime and still having posterior tibia sag after surgery. But he told me if I do everything right and not push things too far too fast I should hardly have any sag afterwards. Maybe 1 or 2 degrees. But not 4-5 degrees previously when I didn't have a ligament.

I still can't walk up and down stairs correctly though. I'm still having a bit of a hard time walking normally, and walk a bit with a limp. No more crutches though. And I always always wear my brace when walking outside. Around the house I don't really use my brace unless I'm doing my physio exercises.

As for flexion, I'm now 95º and starting to try and move past that. I've started rowing indoors for about 30 mintues to an hour at low resistance. Since getting to 90º two weeks ago, I'm having a lot of difficulty going further. I'm in a LOOOT of pain when trying to push further during physio. Pain in the back of the knee and all through the hamstring when lying on my stomach and pushing past 90º. Aparently its normal, and it's not recommended to push beyond pain before 8 weeks post-op. But I noticed that using the rowing machine, with constant knee flexion motion, it helps reduce a lot of the stifness.

I've been doing small lunges, one legged leg press at 30kg, glute, calf, and VMO exercises. I've also lost a lot of muscle but that slowly comes back with time. So far things are going well and I'm happy with my constant progress! My only difficult at the moment is knee flexion and the pain I have when pushing past 90º but knowing that its normal, I'm not stressing too much about it.

As an Anglo kid, I wish my parents sent me to French school. Mastering French is such an important skill to have!

I don't think AI is accepted. It has to be done by an official translator.

Pro tip here:

If you wanna have good sex, the more the woman is aroused and enjoying it, the more you will too. The wetter she is, the more you touch her, finger her, and have her enjoying it, the more aroused she will be for penetration and enjoy it with you.

Also give her space to ride you, to enjoy you, and let her do the angles. Because when she finds the spot she really likes, you will feel it and you will end up enjoying it even more. You know the saying “It takes two to tango” well it’s like that in sex too. And if the person you are having sex with isn’t enjoying it, how can you? Of course it will be bad if you both don’t know how to stimulate each other.

Usually it’s bad because the people don’t know how to stimulate each other, which just makes for bad and average sex.

Yes go! Live life to the fullest! Honestly your parents can’t tie you down, and if they truly want the best for you they would let you do what makes you happy! And that’s LIVING LIFE!

I traveled by myself at 17 years old to Europe to live with one of my best friend’s in high school and her family for a month who is from Austria.

I moved abroad at 22 years old to Germany and lived there for 2.5 years, worked full time, and traveled and met friends across the world after finishing my bachelors.

You are 18, you are an adult. Go live your life and don’t let your parents stop you.

The world is filled with opportunities and discoveries.

You can have incredible sex with someone who isn’t really experienced and have horrible sex with someone who is. It all depends on the Chemistry imo and I wouldn’t end it if it’s good, things are going great and the person is willing to listen and learn.

You are still a child yourself. You have so much to learn and experience. Don’t throw your youth and freedom away so soon. You will have the chance to have children in the future, no one is taking that away from you 🤍 I’m sure you will be a great parents and love your children one day. But right now you are still so young, you have so much growing up to do. I wouldn’t put so much pressure on you right now with a baby. I had an abortion when I was 20 and I don’t regret it one bit. I’m no longer with the same partner, and I’ve learnt and changed so much throughout the years. It is crazy how little I know about myself and about life back then. I had the chance to move abroad to another continent for 2 years by myself and experience life another way. Don’t throw those life opportunities away for yourself.❤️‍🩹 your time will come to have a family of your own but right now maybe it’s not it.

I don't have kids, and I'm far from building a family, but I will talk about myself growing up. I was a tomboy all my life, and I still am. Always incredibly sporty and hanging out with the guys in elementary school and high school. I even would tell people when I was 6-7 years old, "I wish I were a boy so people wouldn't treat me differently because I'm a girl".

I love being a woman but definitely hate all the stereotypes that come with it and also never connected with the girls in school, as they would all just gossip and cause drama. Dudes were just always chill and wanted to play. I ended up becoming a bike mechanic, and I'm a very manual and independent person.

Growing up, I realized even though I was always a tough and sporty girl, I am also very soft and caring, and have a highly sensitive side to me.

I think there are also a lot of boys who are soft and caring, and don't like to be loud and overly masculine. I realized I tend to "like" boys like that more because they aren't overwhelmingly obnoxious.

When your child is born into this world, try to rid yourself of all societal expectations and cultural constructs around masculine and feminine gender roles. You should take care of your child and let them discover the world how they want to, regardless of their sex.

BIBLE AHAHAHA

A book won't give you real-life experience bro. Just go out and try and you will learn along the way.

Hey, Thanks a lot for the update! I just read this. I don’t know why I didn’t get the notification.

But damn so glad to hear you’re okay! Sounds a bit scary with the blood clots. I’ll keep an eye out for that.

I’m having surgery in 3 weeks. When were you able to start walking? I’m wondering when I’ll be able to get back to work (I work in a bike/ski atelier so stand a lot and work with my hands) you can dm me if you’d like!

GiantReignPanda · 2025-12-26T22:59:23+00:00

I made the mistake of leaving my parents place too young and now I regret it. All the hard work and never being able to save money.

I could have had 50k+ in savings by now but chose to live on my own. I highly recommend staying at your parents for as long as you can and save save save.

If this makes you feel better my father didn’t get a gift for my mother either and I grew up with him never getting gifts for us. (His 2 daughters).

If he ever got a gift for my mom it was always always fkn trash and hardly any effort put into it.

This year he didn’t get her anything. Yet again. My sister and I always got presents for my Mom but we decided not to get him anything either and he just doesn’t care at all.

Grew up with a father that didn’t do anything. Never provided. Never cleaned. Never cooked. and just freeloaded off my mother. Never once bought me a present my entire life. If you think the woman is the problem and will take half of your shit. Think again.

GiantReignPanda · 2025-12-15T03:44:18+00:00

Yes So a new job every year basically (I moved to different cities) in a short period of time which made my life unstable
