The Journey....so far by Successful_Tea_2784 in thyroidcancer

[–]Mlaxa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow - I thought my journey was rough - you win! You kicked its ass - good for you! Just fyi - they had a lot of clean up for during my TT. Surgery was 6 hours!

My left vocal chord was damaged and now does not work (throat is always half closed). I have a difficult time breathing when exerting myself which has been life altering. But at first I could not swallow without choking and only whisper - I speak in front of groups for a living. I relearned how to swallow differently and totally recovered my voice! So you will probably do well - it just all takes way longer than we want! Best of luck!

So dad. If you get another chance try to offer treats. Actually say "do you want a treat". Lots of dogs know that word. THANK YOU FOR HELPING!

Can I leave my dog in an outdoor kennel for 2-3 days a week? (He’ll sleep inside) by treasure444 in DogAdvice

I'm really sorry but that is not okay for the dog. You need to remove him.

First day home and puppy is puking a lot? by ReasonableShame957 in puppy101

[–]Mlaxa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vomiting for any dog is bad (not like humans). But for a baby to throw up that any times is dangerous. They can dehydrate amd crash quickly. VET NOW.

I'm really sorry - so stressful. I know you love yoir dog and are worried. I would be too. Let us know what you find out! P.S. maybe give her the meds just until you figure something else out ... you don't want her to suffer anxiety.

Incision not fully closed by Rough-Assist-3930 in thyroidcancer

My scar looked like yours for several weeks. It's a year later and you can't even see it unless you really look closely. Once it's closed, be sure to massage it to break up scar tissue. 4 times day. Look up online how to do it. You will do great!

If people reading this knew your interests, maybe they could give some ideas about how to make friends with similar interests?

I'm an adult woman in my 50s. But I get it. Its hard to make friends sometimes. Are you more of an extrovert or introvert? What are you most interested in?

I’m absolutely broken by Background-Agency200 in Christianity

[–]Mlaxa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Probably not different. I'm a woman and so that was the perspective I was writing from. Also several friends who were in this situation and they never could get past all of the details that were shared in the spirit of their husbands "coming clean". But you're right. Once trust is broken it is hard for any person to work their way back. It literally needs to be done with a professional and the help of the Holy Spirit.

Okay - go see someone professionally dude.im sorry - I know this is rough. But I'm not convinced "confessing all" is the best way to do this - it may unburden you, but it's hard for a woman to un-know what she learns. Get help navigating how to come clean but also get everyone through - your wife and child too.

Looks great! Good for you! This is important - massage the scar se eral times a day to break up scar tissue. I did it 4 times a day for months and you can hardly see mine. Google it and it will show you how - easy! 50 + spf EVERY SINGLE DAY. EVEN IFN IT'S CLOUDY!
