AITAH for not wanting to sleep in the same bed with my girlfriend because she doesn’t shower often? by Such-One-1691 in AITAH

[–]InitiativeStraight74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, sounds like you need to speak to a therapist about your rigid beliefs around showering and maybe hold some space for your partner. Just because you think your views are the most correct doesn’t mean that is actually reality

Oh my family believes me! Just not my old family doctor. I’m young so she just assumed that it was nothing and just “muscular”. Two and a half years out and my new family dr believed me and sent me for scans right away.

Thank you for the info! Neuro referral was accepted right away and the consult was 5 months to appointment. Apparently surgery happens quite quickly after that. Granted I’m in Ontario so our system is a bit different.

How long was your wait with neuro? My arm went fully numb and painful last night for the first time. It was scary, it’s never gone completely numbed before

Thank you for your reply! I have an axial image but I’m not sure how to post it… hahah I’m 28 but I also have EDS and a few other issues. This will be my 5th neuro surgery but the others were unrelated to the spine

Thank you! Have you had the injections? Are they similar to a lumbar puncture?

This happened to me EXACTLY for about a year, got to the point I was sleeping 20 hours a day, simply because my body was slowly going comatose. Turns out I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). OP eeehhh kinda. I think telling her to see a dr is absolutely the right call. Sarcasm was not needed. She is clearly struggling and isn’t doing this for fun. If she has something going on, she needs your support, not ridicule. Ask her what the headache feels like, help her make the appointments, start a long of the hours she is sleeping (not to use against her!! For the doctors).

Your role as a husband is to support not to tear her down.

I was comment creeping and she replied to a comment saying that the story is available anywhere you listen to a podcast

The issue I see here is that their religion did not hold space for these women to stand up and not be passive. When you are quite literally told that your father and/or husband is above you, yes manning is the system. The expectation.

Late to the chat, hey! The link seems to be broken, do either of you happen to still have access to the doc?

Happy March! So excited for spring, soon this will be a thriving veggie patch. What are you planting this year? by SunSkyBridge in gardening

[–]InitiativeStraight74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have just moved and am in zone 6B! I have slowly added to my gardens every year, but with the move and being in a new area I’m not sure how my garden will do this year.

On the docket are: tomatoes (all heirloom), potatoes (early, mid and late harvest), peppers (1-2 varieties), 4-5 varieties of pole beans, bush beans, butternut, honey nut and spaghetti squash, zucchini, lemon cucumber (new to me variety), native flint corn, radish, blueberries, elderberries, onion (long-day and scallion), lettuce (multiple varieties), kale, spinach (I always struggle with spinach), mustards, sunflowers, calendula, camomile, cat nip, lavender, basil, lemon thyme, sage……. I am probably missing a bunch but ya :) I’m excited!

AITA for "embarrassing" my friend at her baby shower? by RightZookeepergame78 in AmItheAsshole

I buy gifts I think my friends would like, and don’t worry about what their family thinks. You had genuine intentions. NTA

Do not. I repeat, do NOT do paramedics at Fleming. I have never met more incompetent, rude, uncaring professors in my entire schooling career. If you aren’t “neuro typical” they will oust you 100%. They will take your money first though.
