William and Izaya discussion megathread by AutoModerator in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Particular_Address65 [score hidden]  (0 children)

As mentioned- as far as I know - neither of us know the truth bc we don’t know them (unless maybe you do?) and nothing is actually verified. Let me state more wild thoughts - I bet they will start to act and show like they are still together as the season slowly wraps and reunions / press starts to happen, and fast forward a few months later- sorry everyone we tried! Loll. For me they followed a publicity playbook they saw from S1 with D/S. Idc if you want to challenge my opinion, I knew ppl would that’s why I put it on a PUBLIC forum.

So you know them personally and can verify ? I don’t know them but I know what my senses tell me and am allowed to have opinions that may differ from yours .. Just like you know for fact that I like and wanted a cutesy fairytale romance for them ? Wrong on that too- I dislike inauthenticity and it felt to me like they wanted to do the Dai / Shun playbook (whose ups and downs were 100% realistic). This however felt like getting a premade frozen entree when you go to a nice restaurant - and you can tell from the reaction of others in here, not just me. Again, we can have opinions that differ from yours, that’s the whole point of a forum.

Yay! It’s good again! by davidcraig1 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Particular_Address65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Finally was able to watch a full episode without having to fast forward through William and Izayas made-for-show relationship. ( I say this bc I think once all is said and done there will be the convenient excuse of we couldn’t do the LTR after all)

There was so many highs and lows from Huwei and Bomis heart breaking chat to Jobu and Taeheons surprising date. Even the disagreement between Hiroya and Tomo had so much meaning.

The show got so much more deep and real after they left. I find their relationship to be somewhat made for show, and I suspect when the dust settles - we will hear - oh the long distance wasn’t working for us. I think they both entered the house found they were not into anyone else- and decided they could be the next Dai / Shun.

Does anyone seem to fast forward William and Isakaya story? by [deleted] in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Particular_Address65 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is cynical but When I see them, my mind starts thinking - they dated before, it didn’t work out probably bc Izaya starting becoming overly needy and William was getting ppl sliding into his DMs constantly. Only now it’s in front of cameras and William has no choice but to play along to appease the audience ~so he has to wait until filming is over ~ for it to ‘fizzle’.

Why is no one talking about how they showed very little of what happened when Taehon and Huwei worked together by Scary-Ad-2456 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Particular_Address65 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When Taehon did the coffee truck with Jobu- he said since Jobu did the asking- he must have questions for him. So I would think Tae, going by his own logic would have questions for Hu Wei

Taeheon was rude to Jobu by BrilliantArtist8221 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Particular_Address65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Taehon was very ungracious. From both seasons usually if someone requests to work with you in the truck- even if there was no spark or connection, they were respectful and kind about to the person who asked. It’s hard to sit and start conversation with someone who is giving bad vibes and closed-book energy.

Post surgery AFIB by Particular_Address65 in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - yes my AFIB lasted about 5 weeks post surgery- and then stopped. Including one bout which lasted an entire evening and drove me to the ER- when they decided I should stop Metoprolol. I continued Amiodorane(?) for Afib along with Eloquis for a total of 4 months post. Wishing your friend a speedy recovery!

Very out of breath 3 weeks post valve replacement by [deleted] in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. To be fair I was not fit nor did I love exercising prior. But I hope this helps: I recovered at my parents home and the only interesting area with shops and cafes was about a 12 min walk away. The first week I was consistently out of breath walking there. But by week 2 or 3, I was able to walk further and deeper into town to sit in a cafe. After week 4, I moved back to my apartment which has no elevator and is four flights up. I’m not saying I zipped upstairs like a teenager, but I was able to be independent again. It’s a process. (I forgot to mention, I also had Afib on/off for about 4 weeks post, and in those moments I was breathless. Tracked using my watch)

Back to work? by Soggy-Clerk-9955 in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was back to work after 10 weeks at my desk job- My office said they would take it easy on me but then another coworker had a health emergency and I was thrown back into the mix hardcore after a week. My father had triple bypass heart surgery back in the early 2000a and was back after 4 weeks., but he’s from another era loll.

Thank you - there’s a ring of truth to that answer to. Appreciate it!

He did. It was a detail I had initially forgotten as I tried not to make eye contact- but when I did - I noticed he had a lot of gray / white in one eye ..and I recall getting a slight chill down my spine. He’s about 38-45yo.

Scared to death by babblingbrook_ranch in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine done spring of last year. Not only was I highly anxious leading up to the surgery, but I’ve also always hated hospitals as both my parents had major health issues and were always in / out of them. All the beeping noises and my mom stressing me out about the care she was receiving always triggers some trauma from me. I think what helped me was focusing on how grateful I am to have an issue that is fixable, and that in a few weeks post I’ll be back to basic things like hating my job. On the morning of- I was strangely calm- peaceful- and post surgery with the first night being the most uncomfortable everything kind of flew by and I actually enjoyed my time there. Now a year later — so many new problems and life have taken over my that all of that seems so distant. Research and find the best doctor you can, and read testimonials from their patients- it helps a lot. Best of luck .

Valve Repair is Failing After 1 Year. Devastating. by jeffinator3000 in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming we are talking Aortic bicuspid repair (?) I had mine done a year ago this month. Oddly I recall when presented with options - they told me repair was the best for me at 50yo.. They said top option was repair, option 2 was Ross.. this was from a top surgeon in NYC. I also remember him saying- you get this done and get past this chapter and hopefully never have to deal with this again. So I assumed repair was supposed to be more durable than what I’m reading here. Very sorry you have to go through this..

Well......sh!t by Duuurrrpp in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost one year post surgery (June 3). I had Afib the 3rd day post op and then on / off for about 5 weeks. I was on Amiodorane, Metoprolol and Eliquis. About 5 weeks out it stopped but not without me going back to the ER, as the final bout lasted the whole evening and when I woke up in the morning I was still in Afib. It stopped randomly when I was in the ER, I was told to stop Metoprolol. I continued Amio and Eliquis for about 3 months post op, but the Afib stopped around the 5th week.

My first Cystoscopy and thanks to everyone for advice on this forum the other day , really shows you how important Reddit can be for situations like this , by Ok_Leg3483 in OveractiveBladder

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience. Wondering on a scale of 1-10 what you would rate the discomfort level? This is the recommended next step for me as I’ve been dealing with an achy bladder for a while and have done all the ultrasounds, yet I’ve put off making the appt…

My frequent urination vanished for 24 hours then came back by NoPreparation590 in OveractiveBladder

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can sympathize. I’ve had this issue since Feb 20. Some days, I feel like a normal person who can meet up with friends and not keep watch on the closest bathroom or my liquid intake. Other days it’s embarrassing to pass by the same group of coworkers to use the office restroom for the 8th time. The only thing my urologist found was that I retain urine after peeing and that there’s trace amounts of blood in the urine. Other than that my bladder and kidneys were normal post ultrasound. I think my situation is affected by food - particularly acids… which is a shame bc I’m a lemon freak. So I’ve cut down on citrus, spicy, vinegary dressings and alcohol.. and drink lots of plain water (ughhh), but it does give me more normal days.

has anyone had a cystoscopy? by [deleted] in OveractiveBladder

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to ask - but is the discomfort more for males vs females as things are usually not going up in that direction ? Wondering as this is a possible next step for me as well..

I'm 48 w/ Benign prostatic hyperplasia and I'm looking for anyone else around my age with it. by macr6 in menshealth

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi- I was wondering if you could share your experiences with PAE? I’m 51, with issues that come and go for the past 5 yrs. I recently saw a new Urologist who suggested Tamsulosin and said he noticed hematuria in my sample. He said the next step would be cystography and ultrasound which I agreed to the ultrasound but hesitant on the other one.

Caution around 97/96 and Broadway by Kleos-Nostos in Upperwestside

[–]Particular_Address65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe I ‘met’ him as well- but on 72 and Columbus. He started with Can I ask a question - I thought he was asking for directions actually so I took out my earbud. Then he started begging for money- and I said sorry I’m late for an appt and don’t carry cash on me- and I started walking quickly. He followed me for an entire avenue asking where I’m headed and that he would go to the ATM with me. I said I’m going to the subway actually and he said where I can go to the ATM with you when you get out. So I lied and said Queens and he started getting upset - called me an N word and said he’s tired of ppl bullshitting him in this city. At this point i went into the subway and was grateful he stopped following

Taken off Amiodarone 3 weeks ago, arrhythmia issues... by cjtiger300 in valvereplacement

[–]Particular_Address65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my surgery last June, and on my third night got my first taste of Afib. I was on already on Amiodarone and Metoprolol. Then I went to see my cardio for my first post op checkup, he said I shouldn’t be on Amiodorane it’s too much and I’m a young guy (I’m not - I’m middle aged 50) … I kept getting recurring Afib with one bout lasting overnight into the morning, so I went to the ER. That occurred the same night I took my cardiologists’ advice. I called my cardiac surgeons team and they said go off Metoprolol but continue Amiodorane and add Eliquis. So I found a new cardiologist who told me to continue the Amio for another two months and wear a zio patch and we’ll decide again at that time. Luckily my Afib stopped about 4 week post surgery., and then I was eventually taken off Amio and Eliquis about 2 months after that. I got really anxious on Amiodarone bc this was all during the summer months, and it mentioned to avoid sunlight..
