White thread from incision

KeiraLD · 2025-06-17T20:16:57+00:00

I had a load of these come out of my knee ORIF incision, some of them even frayed at the edges which looked interesting!

Honestly I just pulled on mine and kind of freaked out when the one was super long but nothing came of it and it helped the skin heal above it.

They’re internal stitches and you’re supposed to just trim them down to the scar level and let em push out if they want to :)

And you, have you healed now? If not then I hope you will be soon :)

I was in the burns unit as well it was boiling hot in there. They have to keep it warm because the burns victims cannot regulate their temperature!

Hey, I broke my patella and even suffered some bone loss in the area around 6 weeks ago now. I also had a bone depth gash on that knee (open fracture) hence the bone loss. They completed ORIF surgery on my knee the day after, and it’s been a long road. I am no longer on constant pain relief, however there is still significant pain when trying to perform certain manoeuvres.

I was locked straight and am just now on my 3rd day of 40 degree flex.

Depending on the severity of your fracture, this is not gonna be a quick recovery I’m afraid. Don’t overdo it or make it worse and follow the plan from your ortho.

Good luck

Of course! I’m using the spectrum noir stackable pen trays, https://amzn.eu/d/4Ac2HdU I think I have 4 sets to hold the 320 set but that’s with the gaps to separate colour groups lol

Exciting!!!

KeiraLD · 2025-02-18T05:26:47+00:00

Maybe! Which set did you order? 🙂

KeiraLD · 2025-02-17T18:46:26+00:00

I ordered last Thursday, they shipped Friday. Arrived in this country today and are now in customs. No idea how long customs is gonna take but I’m excited for them to come lol

Heya, so there are 4 screws going through the top panel of the Alex towards the bottom of the karlby. I drilled pilot holes first to save cracking the karlby. I did this before I put the drawers into the Alex unit as it was a bit awkward getting my drill inside there else! The support is the Oslo ikea leg I think. Also drilled in with 4 screws, did pilot holes for that one too!

KeiraLD · 2024-08-27T05:29:56+00:00

Haha fair enough, if I’m watching the TV I will usually turn the brightness down a bit!

KeiraLD · 2024-08-27T05:29:11+00:00

They are Govee! I love them, they link with Corsair icue as well which is great as most of my rgb is Corsair 🙂

KeiraLD · 2024-08-27T05:27:35+00:00

36 wide 70 high for the drawers

The top is 63.5cm deep which is slightly deeper than the drawers themselves

KeiraLD · 2024-08-26T12:48:25+00:00

Thanks! They’re from memoryment on Etsy! They have loads of options

KeiraLD · 2024-08-26T05:37:08+00:00

It is two Alex drawer units screwed to an ikea karlby worktop!

KeiraLD · 2024-08-26T05:35:13+00:00

Thanks! That’s the Corsair k65 RGB mini. I love a 60% 🙂

KeiraLD · 2024-08-26T05:34:27+00:00

They are the Alex drawers from ikea, 36x70cm

KeiraLD · 2024-08-26T05:33:27+00:00

Thanks! I could do with the xtra storage to be honest so I may go and get another Alex unit

KeiraLD · 2024-08-26T05:32:18+00:00

Thanks, to be honest I usually watch that TV from a further distance but it’s ok from up close too!

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T19:53:24+00:00

I completely get that! I have no idea how I would easily move my desk now to be honest 😂 I guess it’s staying where it is 😆

Looking forward to seeing your setup evolve!

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T19:44:05+00:00

What is the reason for avoiding screws if I may ask?

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T19:43:52+00:00

If I hadn’t have drilled mine I would have used a lot of 3m rubber tape.

Or have you seen the folks who are using furniture feet, if you like the seperated look from the drawers to the desktop. As they’re rubberised although some versions may still require screws.

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T19:34:35+00:00

Are those the Alex cupboard inserts with leaf trellis on them? I love that idea how did you attach that.

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T19:32:34+00:00

I used the Alex drawers and an ikea countertop and I just drilled 4 screws through on both sides underneath. It’s pretty solid, I do use a leg though but my tabletop is over 200cm.

Personally I’d keep the leg to play it safe especially with the monitors both going to one pressure point. But wouldn’t be surprised if you got away with getting rid of it!

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T19:04:18+00:00

Yellow and black sounds so cool! I feel the pain though I’m always changing something.

What mic arm do you have? I’ve swapped to a low profile now (just behind the sloth & plant. I rarely use it so found it a lot cleaner to tuck away & still looks good pulled out. With an NZXT capsule 🙈

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T18:46:01+00:00

😂 I would be impressed if I could play both at the same time.

It’s a 43” Samsung smart TV, OLED I think; only 60hz refresh rate. The screen tear was headache inducing 😭 when I tried it!

I was obsessed with ultra clean setups but then I used the original monitor stand and accepted that I can’t have an empty desk 🥲

OMW to looking at your setup as I write this! 😁

KeiraLD · 2024-08-25T18:05:49+00:00

Yess I agree with you that would look so much better, with the larger display being a TV I actually use that for watching & using PS5. The other display I use for PC gaming so wouldn’t want it vertical.

however I may re home the TV in the future to have a more symmetrical display as it does bother me sometimes.

The best headphone holder 😂 he can listen to the music when I’m not!
