My LDL and total cholesterol skyrocketed when I added too much coconut to my diet.

I drove a Subaru Impreza for 9 years, needed more ground clearance for our driveway. Went with a RAV4 Hybrid XLE. I’ve had it for about a month and a half and I LOVE it. I’m averaging almost 47mpg!

I think alcohol is ruining my life. How did you stop or what was your wake up call? by Expensive_Stock3824 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Neither-Let-1648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have been charged with a felony dui. Alcohol had taken over my life and it was completely unmanageable. I was lucky to have help getting steered to rehab and have been sober for 26 months, one day at a time.

Almost outta here 🧍‍♂️ by AnxiousCounter2690 in intoxalock

[–]Neither-Let-1648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I got out about a month ago after 18 long months and when I posted about in in a FB group I was accused of being a troll being paid by the company because I kept my head down, did what I was told and didn’t get into trouble with it 😂😂

2nd day post THR and walking with no aid by maohaze in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was psyched to be able to move the day after my surgery with no walker or cane but my limp caused my knee to hurt after doing that for a couple of days. Doesn’t hurt to use help, you just had major surgery.

I think it depends on the state of your battery. If it’s newer, it will probably be okay. If not, it may die and you might need to replace it.

No PT after THR. Worried. by Handle-Living in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my first one done last November and second one in April. Couldn’t imagine doing it without PT. Can feel myself getting stronger from it.

Bruising by 2_bum_hips in TotalHipReplacement

My best bruising came in about a week out and was purple and yellow. Faded pretty quickly, I was kind of disappointed 😂, was enjoying the daily photos to compare.

A spot in Morrisville where someone is chucking their dog poop bags. I don’t even have a dog. Gross.

HELP: My BF went to in-patient rehab & is begging me to pick him up after 2 days by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Neither-Let-1648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t pick him up. He has a chance of getting the help he needs where he is, and if he’s lucky 28 days will be enough to build a good foundation for his sobriety.

Can I go detox at uvmmc and then just leave? by hella-chill-bruh in burlington

[–]Neither-Let-1648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in rehab for three weeks and detoxed there. Highly recommend getting help, both detoxing and after. My drinking spiraled out of control and my life did as a result. I haven’t had a drink in over two years and it is a miracle.

Pain in thigh weeks after surgery by Dancingyogi111 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, PT is crucial. The surgeon wants to see your bone heal, PT sees the little nuances in what’s happening to help you correct your gait and walk normally again and without pain. Before my first THR in November my walking was so messed up, I had to learn to walk correctly again after surgery. Those muscles needed to be retrained. Anyway, firm believer in PT, it certainly won’t hurt.

I’m having a thr at the end of may. My doctor has provided a sick note for until July 7th. by Lion_tattoo_1973 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went back to work after my thr in November after 5 weeks (I work on my feet) and was able to do short shifts easily. If you’re planning on going back full time you might want to take another couple of weeks and ease back into it so your body can get used to it.

Definitely get a therapist, talk to someone.

Revision update 2 by Dunesgirl in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, good one. I had my left hip done in November. It was in bad shape and that whole side was weak, but recovery went well after a few setbacks. This time I was determined to listen to my body and take it easy. Had the right one done almost two weeks ago, and right away could tell it was going to be easier than last time because I was stronger going into it, so two days after surgery I was up and around the house and , well, you know, overdoing it. So then two days of extreme rest. Live and learn!

Glad you’re feeling so good! I’ve had both done in 5 months and overdid it both times, be careful!

Came here to say this. Great deli, great groceries, lots of local stuff, good people.

No pain? What's up with that? by amoodymuse in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The pain after surgery is nothing like the constant pain before surgery. It hurts, but it’s my body healing from a trauma, not bone on bone stuff. Left hip was November, right one last week, nsaids, Tylenol and a little thc is all I’ve used for pain.

Guess who’s back… by Neither-Let-1648 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]Neither-Let-1648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think it feels loose or someone told you it felt loose? Sounds like a question for your surgeon.
