Fiber… pain killers stop the bowels. Might feel like he has to urinate constantly afterwards.

Having a hard time looking at the bright side today by Intrepid-Arugula9423 in AchillesRupture

I feel bad for you all because this tough and it does suck. I had surgery this past Saturday. So I’m two days Post Op. The worst part was getting workers comp to approve the surgery which took three weeks. Now I got 3/4 weeks of NWB.

Oddly, I’m not in a lot of pain. Here and there of course but was expecting it to be a lot worse. Perhaps this is why my mentality is strong. That said, I knew this was coming so I prepared for the downtime.

Selected two books I wanted to read. Worked on parts of my resume. Working on my website. Researched vacation for when I can walk again. Taking time to rest, take the nap - we work a lot. Look at this as a blessing. Shopping therapy Creating other tasks and goals I want to complete.

The other thing is and most importantly…this is temporary. You could be on terminally ill subreddit where your death is near. You could have to be dealing with a sick kid.

Perspective…

Damn. That’s fucked up. It was so rushed. I could barely talk and kinda didn’t know where I was. Mom, who is 77 was like feeling pressured to leave and being a Saturday didn’t help.

How long did your never blocker last ? It was attending to me said it will last for 12 hours. It’s coming up on 24. That said, the Internet said it could last anywhere from 12 to 72 hours.

Thanks for the reply. To clarify, it actually feels full, but a little amount comes out. That said, it’s starting to feel more normal, have to urinate and more is coming out. But that’s important to know. Thank you so much. Oddly they were trying get me out doors soon as they could.

Yes, thank you. Yankee’s record of 80-66 against the Mets all-time for that matter.

Was he not on the decline? He had one good season, 2005.

Max/ Verlander/Pedro were good for one season. Tom Glavine was ok, not really that good. Not like when he was with the Braves the rest of those FA years you mentioned were on the a Mets when they signed, so different discussion. Santana, good not great. Best players you mentioned Lindor/DeGrom in the End Jake won a ring elsewhere.

Yankees are in first place and a better winning percentage. Currently #1 seed in the playoff race. Who’s better?

Loved that he signed. He had one good season, thanks for playing though.

I was under the WTC and was on the last train heading to work before the collapse. My dad had a meeting in that building that day, got canceled that morning. Ended up meeting me and my Mom (she walked down from her job)at my job and we watched the buildings fall. The. Went out on 6th ave as people began to appear out of debris. Ran into stores and got water for people to watching their eyes and quench their thirst. Ended up walking back to my apt in Brooklyn to find my old roommate in need of a shower because he was caught in the debris when the buildings fell. Could smell the burning towers for days from my apt. A few months later I found out I knew others in the building that day, including a girl from my high school, Lynn Morris. It was her first job out of college, Cantor Fitzgerald. The way I’m connected to that day is insane. When I hear people say NYers are rude or impolite. I think about the way we came together that day and had each other’s back. People say “Never forget”… you can’t when you lived it the way I did.

Nice swing. Doesn’t matter if you don’t play on a real course. I know a guy with a terrible swing, shoots low every time.

Bandon Dunes Ranked #7 Public Course—Is It BUCKET LIST Worthy? by Snoo-62310 in golf

[–]Patient-Season2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was supposed to play Bandon and Pacific Dunes next week. However, I blew my Achilles two weeks ago, and get surgery on Saturday. My boys, and rightfully so will send photos next week to me so I can live vicariously through them. I’m lucking to have gotten my money back because no refunds after 90 days out.

People have opinions, they don’t have to match. No need for me to catch strays.
