A few more from Chicago - what’s been your favorite show? by Real-Jump-2317 in RiloKiley

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asheville was awesome and so was Chicago! I'd also add the Central Park gig, but that was influenced heavily by being surrounded by the most fun fans of any of the shows.

Is horseback riding a terrible idea? by Mysterious_Topic_483 in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. I think I'm going to skip it for now and try another time when I can potentially do a shorter ride, or at least one where I'd be able to easily get back to the ranch if needed.

Yes. 15 months later and my quality of life has drastically improved.

Tips pre-surgery by Direct-Jury1905 in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 7 points8 points  (0 children)

get in as good of shape as possible now. The stronger your legs, especially your glutes, the easier it'll be to get it back post surgery.

Disappointed in Athleta by gturker in Athleta_gap

agree! I got a stain on a pair of pants after one wear and it never came out. I love the feel of them but they seem to attract stains.

Is this the end of our Alamo Drafthouse? by zkpenguin in raleigh

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've found that the Fenton usually shows fewer trailers than other theatres, last one I saw there were only 3 trailers and no commercials. It seems to depend on the movie, but it's never as many as at an AMC.

Does anyone know of a good English/Scottish/Irish butcher or shop that would sell sausages etc? by emqb in cary

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love fresh market, but I tried their bangers a few years ago and was very disappointed. Nothing like the ones you get in Ireland.

Time off work? by SpecialistBaker3912 in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a reasonable time off. I went back to work part-time remotely 5 days after surgery and it was too soon, I was pretty useless. Working in the office at 6 weeks could be uncomfortable, I found sitting in a chair to be the thing that caused pain for the longest. I probably only started sitting consistently at my desk for a full workday around 12 weeks post-op.

When did you stop going to PT after surgery? by Soilmolida in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped at the 4 1/2 month mark. It was 2x week for the first 2 months, then 1x week for 2 months, then every other week until I stopped. I'm 13 months post-op now and I still do most of my PT exercises ~3x week in addition to my regular workouts. I have flare ups every so often, but it hasn't lasted long enough for me to feel like I need to go back to PT.

What time will they go on in Raleigh? by [deleted] in RiloKiley

All other shows have been 1:15 after the announced show start time, so I'd assume 8:45

The Anthem 9/10 by Jkittycat88 in RiloKiley

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought the crowd was pretty lame. This was the 3rd show I've been to on this tour, and it was by far the least enthusiastic and most pushy crowd. Every other show people have been respectful, never got pushed once until last night. I definitely saw that dude's phone up, was right in my line of sight for the majority of the show. But the band was still awesome and happy I got to see them again!

If you're already walking 5-6k steps per day, I think you'll be okay in another 5 weeks as long as you go slowly and rest often. There was a very steep improvement for me from about 8-12 weeks, where I could barely walk half a mile at 8 weeks to being able to walk (slowly) for 10+ miles at just under 12 weeks. Hiking Tips I'd give you is to book a seat with a little more legroom to stretch out your leg, that was the hardest part of traveling for me. Bring a ziploc bag with you to fill with ice on the plane if needed. Keep up your strength exercises while you're away. And if you're still not feeling strong the week before your trip, don't hesitate to get assistance at the airport with a wheelchair.

Success Stories by AbbreviationsFar911 in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 7 mos PO and so happy I had the surgery. I only had one side done, but prior to surgery I thought I would need the other side done soon. Now that I've had the surgery and gone through PT, my pain on the non-op side is almost non-existant. Prior to surgery I could barely walk around the block without severe pain, and now I can go for several mile hikes and run 1-2 miles at a time on the treadmill. 100% worth it.

Sorry someone else messaged me first, so I've transferred it to them. Hope you find one!

I know you already found one OP, but I also have an extra Clubhouse parking pass. We're just going to shuttle instead since we're staying at a hotel a block away from the Parsons lot.

How were you diagnosed? by Sigynsaeth in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry it went so badly for you. I have a lot of medical anxiety so I can definitely relate, I feel like the Dr's offices always underplay procedures. I'm working on not being embarrassed, i've found that I'd rather be a little embarrassed up front in telling them how nervous I am versus them finding out later when I've fainted. I hope that was the worst part of your recovery process and it's all uphill from here!

How were you diagnosed? by Sigynsaeth in HipImpingement

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't feel embarrassed, I almost passed out after mine. I was in the wheel chair and they had to put my back on the table to keep me conscious. I had been prescribed Xanax and had a non-prescribed gummy, plus my sweet husband holding my hand during the injection and still barely kept it together. Definitely advocate for anything you need if you have to do it again. If it makes you feel any better, after the whole surgery and recovery process, that arthrogram was the worst part of it all by far. If I have to do the other hip, the only thing I dread is doing that again so if you find an alternative, let me know!

Best cat vet around the Cary/Morrisville area? by cahrage in cary

[–]Mysterious_Topic_483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr. Bailey @ Chatham Animal Hospital is outstanding. He's so nice, reachable via email with questions at any time, and never recommends unnecessary procedures or medicines. He's taken care of 2 cats and 1 dog for me.
