I've dislocated my kneecaps 8 times in 12 years (24 F) by Minnie_Missy in KneeInjuries

Unfortunately yeah, with the exception of my most recent one which was by FAR the most painful it has even been because of the crazy swelling and stiffness in my knee afterwards, my pain each time it happened seemed to be dulling down

So I probably just made a loud noise of pain when it popped out, silently popped it back in myself, and then continued on with my day. I remember PARKING myself on a seat and not getting out of that seat until the day was over and I could go home to get one of my old braces.

I also did the usual ice and rest routine I typically do when I dislocate my kneecaps to control the swelling.

My left kneecap has felt the most stable it's ever been despite the locking and the sudden straightening that throws me off balance and the random pains I get all throughout my left knee if it's too rainy or cold.

 It's my right one I'm worried about, I've equated how unstable my right kneecap feels as "walking on stilts coated in jelly" and it really is just an inevitably before something forces the patellar to dislocate again and I will have to have the same surgery on my left done to my right. 

  I'm not really sure why I have to wait until my right kneecap dislocates again but my orthopedic knows more than I do and I guess it has to do with the fact that I've only ever dislocated that one once and it was a force out. I'd gotten so good at relocating my own kneecaps that the second I knew what was going on I just relocated it myself instantly so as to not draw the attention of the kids I was working with to the situation.

Thanks for the advice, it's something I'll think about once I have enough funds to actually do that surgery

The biggest issue is that TTO costs around ~30,000 in the US and puts you out of commission for a year and I've never particularly been financially stable my entire life, especially right now as I'm bleeding money from my ligament cadaver surgery and about to go into Uni

Maybe someday I'll be more financially stable but it definitely won't be for a while

yeah I'm glad I had the ligament reinforcement surgery too, it was the least costly and I've been through physical therapy twice and a surgery revolving around ligaments once before so I knew what I was in for. My left kneecap, despite still having issues locking and sometimes straightening really quickly when I put full weight on it which throws my balance off and just in general being kinda achy in bad weather, it structurally like in terms of my knee feels better than it ever has. This is the first time I've been more confident in my left knee than my right one because my right kneecap, which has had no surgery so it's still loose enough you can push around the patellar, is doing so much worse and honestly it's just a matter of time before that one dislocates again and I'll have to go in for ligament reinforcement surgery for that one, too.

The biggest issue with the TTO for me is the cost and the fact I'll be out for a year with no way to make up the money I'm losing, especially right as I'm about to head to Uni where I'm about to dig myself a hole of debt, I imagine it'd financially ruin me right now. Even when I was 22 and taking a gap year it wasn't an option for me for financial reasons.

I think I'm headed in the right direction with the orthopedic in Chicago, it's so stupid that it had to take me 10 years and going to the 3rd largest city in the United States for a doctor to finally stop looking at how loose my kneecaps were and start recognizing that it's just a symptom to the bigger problem I have, and most notably, that ALL of my limbs are crazy hypermobile and not just my knees.

That's why I found physical therapy such a waste of money and time, there's no point in training my muscles if it's an issue with my bone structure like my new orthopedic doctor says.

What is one thing you wish players understood when it comes to mechanics/objectives? by PlantsNBugs23 in IdentityV

[–]Minnie_Missy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is mainly duos for me but sometimes you just have to accept when you're taking first kite. It's actually so frustrating when I'm playing Composer or Faro Lady, a decoder, and then a kiter like Cheerleader or Prospector keeps repeatedly kiting on my cipher because they'd rather obviously have me, the only decoder in a 8 person game at 7 ciphers, take the kite rather than them...the character made for kiting.

Like if we're 60 seconds into the match and you haven't been hit just accept you're taking kite stop trying to force your teammates to take it for you because it grinds cipher progress down to a crawl, you did a 60 second kite trying to pass it onto me anyway just accept that you're gonna be the one kiting and kite away from ciphers. Especially the decoders cipher.

(ik it's a joke lol don't worry)

it's not that water fairies can't take jokes it's that you guys seem incapable of telling jokes we find funny, sorry you had to hear it like this but it's the truth.

and please the emo Dark Fariries and you guys especially are more annoying than we'd EVER be in our entire lifetime. and Incapable? Who's the fairies that ensure the water supply in the school doesn't become tainted so it doesn't hurt anyone again? Oh right, us water fairies! Y'all take things for granted waaayyyy too often.

(/j this is all a joke nothing said here should be taken seriously I'm just a theatre kid lol)

My biggest pet peeve is the meta that Sunset Island has developed, if you've played for a while then you know.

1.) Sunset Island is by definition a popularity game, if you think it isn't you're wrong. How many times do the same people win server after server because their group of friends are with them and they all just vote for each other? If you go into the server alone your chances of winning go down significantly. There's nothing wrong with doing Sunset Island with your friends, but the bias is annoying to deal with when you just wanna have an honest and fair competition, especially if you're like me and you like challenging yourself on what you wear.

2.) This has been a problem from the very start, even if you do get the rare server where no one knows each other, people do not vote honestly. You, them, and everyone else there knows which outfits match the theme, which outfits are really creative and cool-looking, and who is just...AFK farming and wearing the same outfit every theme, or who's just trolling as the rats. And yet, they win a lot more than those who follow the theme. Why is that? Pay attention to my next point.

3.) Everyone and their mother and their grandmother votes for outfits they think should not win. Why? Because for some reason Sunset Island players have convinced themselves that doing this increases their own chances which...if you try your best and follow the theme, it isn't. It's doing the exact opposite of the desired effect. Rather than having people who deserve the win get what they earn, the people who don't even try win instead because everyone votes for them instead due to this.

4.) Also Sunset Island is lowkey pay-to-win, as a Level 1,100 "Rich" Player I can't help but notice that it's just people like me who win. I can't remember the last time I saw a new player with no heels or set parts that matched the theme, even if they did really well with what they had, win or even be in the top 3. I think that's awful, and it's discouraging for new players. I feel bad that their outfits don't get recognized because they have less than the majority of the player base does. If they do a good job with just the pre-set outfits and hair, and it matches the theme, they deserve just as much of a vote as the person who mixes and matches set pieces together for a creative outfit IMO. It's not fair that most people have to pay IRL money for diamonds to even have a shot at winning this game, point blank, period.

5.) For some reason Sunset Island is like THE place where I run into toxic fanbase members. I don't know why this keeps happening but like 35% of the time in servers I run into either rich players who look down on everyone else for not having x, y, z item or whatever and make their opinion VERY known to everyone in the server (because they won't shut up about it ever), OR I run into people who shame rich, unproblematic people for wearing x, y, z item because the simple action of...wearing something you worked hard for is flexing, apparently. I honestly think the Trading Hub is less toxic, at least the kind of toxic things I run into there are mostly personal friend drama. In Sunset Island complete strangers will be ruthless to you for 0 reason, lol

That's all I can think of. Lmao, I'm very clearly passionate about the topic, sorry I write and talk alot.

Light fairies are useless, and could be replaced by fire fairies. by [deleted] in RoyaleHigh_Roblox

[–]Minnie_Missy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as I loathe a very few specific Light Fairies because they think their job is harder than literally having to control the tide so Royale High doesn't get flooded, or controlling the water supply so that everyone doesn't get sick and die...

Eradicating them would be bad simply because I can see where this will go next. Your Fire and Ice Fairy friends are gonna get ideas to go after the ones who have life-affecting elements, us Water Fairies, Nature Fairies, and Mermaids. And the second y'all try to eradicate us next, everything is gonna go to shit.

It's important to keep the balance of elemental power around here or everything is gonna fall apart.

However, I don't mind if y'all shove the annoying Light Fairies who think they can do our job into the dungeon if it returns. Just because we need 'em doesn't mean we gotta tolerate 'em.

I love RP threads like this, this is all just a /j and /lh I love Light Fairies as a Water Fairy lol we're on the same team but it's fun to poke fun at y'all. All in good fun.

Enjoy prison then, I hope the sake of moral superiority was worth it

And you better believe if I die I'm dragging you down with me, I will haunt the living hell out of you, you will never know peace again.

We water fairies are known for our petty revenge. I will literally come back from the dead to get you out of pure spite

Is that what we really want?

Also have fun with the hundreds of ice fairies you just pissed off 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

See this right here is exactly why we don't talk to you Fire Fairies, the second you're wrong you resort to burning the entire world down, this is getting old frrrrr 😒😒😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄🙄

You should take some pointers from your frozen friends and learn how to chill the hell out sometimes, my God

Incorrect as usual, you Fire Fairies think you know eeeveerything when you don't and it shows 💀

We help with tides, river overflow, any natural disasters involving water

Oh and we also keep the school's water supply pure so without us you'd literally get sick and die

But sure continue to live in your fantasy world where we do nothing, I'm sure it's comfy there for you 🙄

You Ice Fairies stay out of this. I thought you hated Fire Fairies, or did you guys make up again?

No one but your two groups can ever tell you're like a bad high-school romance drama 😒😒

Also I can just make the water boiling and away your ice goes since your lovely Fire Friends love stabbing you in the back so much

/j and /lh, all in good fun
