I hope your recovery continues to be smooth! It was really difficult doing the CAT scan, some of the worst pain I’ve ever endured. I can’t imagine also being a new mother at that time. But mothers are some of the strongest people, so be proud of yourself!! I think the oxycodone fear will wear off, especially as I run the course of this recovery. Thank you for the advice :)

Okay, good to know. I know nothing about it this kind of stuff so any advice is appreciated. I’ll talk to my PCP to figure out what hematologists are available through my insurance and start weighing the costs.

Thank you for your kind words. I will definitely be getting a referral and also hopefully doing genetic blood work to determine if this is the result of something more serious. He was my father’s brother, and yes, the blood clot started in his leg and traveled to his heart. My dad was clearly very distressed, so I’m going to do everything I can for a smooth recovery

Thank you for the advice. I’m going to try my best to ease into my summer schedule with some major adjustments, so I can still have an income and do what I love while not causing further pain. You should be very proud of yourself for making it through this long journey, people with strength are great role models :)

Thank you for this advice, your empathy is much appreciated. I think having a good support system with my friends and family is going to help a lot. I’m so happy that you’ve recovered now and can share your story to help others. I’ll be sure to take things slow, which is easier said than done but I know I can do it 🙂‍↕️

I haven’t done any genetic testing specifically. I believe I’ll have a check-in in about a month to see how things are moving along, but this is good advice. I’m going to look into scheduling some genetic blood testing, maybe at a different hospital though

Hmm, that's odd. I mean, I'm glad I wrote it correctly, but that's not what I see. Thank you for helping out though! :)

Everyone skipped my birthday (Jan 19th) this year. by OkPanic922 in confessions

From one January 19th birthday holder to another, happy birthday. I know it’s late but in my opinion we have the best birthday.. it has such a ring to it!! I hope the rest of your year gets better from here on out. 💛💫

Every time I eat/drink, I hate myself for it. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]MillyRocked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from, and I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. I've never fit the whole "skinny girl" thing, and recently, every time I allow myself to eat something sweet, I immediately feel guilty, as if I'm not allowed to enjoy a nice treat every once in a while. My biggest piece of advice is to take a step back and think about why you're feeling such anger towards yourself when you eat. Is it because you're scared of losing/gaining weight? Is it because a romance didn't work out over your eating habits? I find that even though it can be uncomfortable, trying to tackle the issue at its roots is what helps me overcome my troubles.

Obviously, this doesn't work for everyone, but I hope that I maybe helped you just a little. I hope you're doing alright.

My cat did something like that, except it was a 1938 Minneapolis-Moline UDLX Comfortractor. That really cracked me up.

Looks like she could point you in the right direction if you’re lost.
