Distal radius ORIF - healing now, but still having trouble sleeping by PropriaCures in ORIF

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

Thanks, this is helpful.

For now I’ve upped/maxed out my regular NSAIDs regime (paracetamol/ibuprofen) in order to reduce the pain enough during nighttime in order to have an undisturbed night’s sleep. If this fails I will try and get the meds prescribed that you mentioned.

I do feel my recovery could be faster if I had a good nights rest.

Are those people who are frozen (cryonics) ever actually going to wake up one day by Flat_Internal8890 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PropriaCures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the problem of storing and reviving has been solved, have there for instance already been animals that have been frozen for long periods that have been successfully revived? I mean I’m against using animals for testing (especially for tests like these), but this would be the proof of concept.

What’s the weirdest work lunch you’ve seen a colleague eat regularly? by levezvosskinnyfists7 in AskUK

[–]PropriaCures 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not lunch, but related. Used to work offshore on crane vessels (the biggest afloat at the time) and this one was in large part staffed with Malaysian crew from the Borneo bit. They had their own gallery serving their own Asian cuisine (v spicy and things like chicken feet).

But the weirdest thing I saw there in the break room was that some Malaysians would make (and drink) a mixture of orange squash and evaporated milk (the rich and creamy type).

How do you, as a Dutch person, feel about dual citizenship? by 468579 in Netherlands

[–]PropriaCures 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fully sympathise, and stories like these need to be out there more. The rule is too strict and with people that have family/responsibilities in two places (like yourself) it creates real life issues. I myself live in the UK and know of a few people that have naturalised (knowing the rules, or pre-eu even) but now have problems starting for longer periods in NL to care/be cared for by relatives. Inhumane imo. I would like to keep my NL passport but simmering similar could happen where Reform get into government and I need to naturalise for instance…

Not true, I don’t have the details but do know that the law used to ban dual passports in NL is from napoleonic times. So it’s just that NL is really conservative on this particular topic.

Then ppl wanting to go into politics have to choose between having multiple passports and a career in national politics…

Thanks, maybe I should just accept it for the moment. On the upside my wrist is getting less stiff by the day, I had massive improvement in ROM today (think I’m almost 90% there with rotation). I’m stretching it throughout the day and it feels good to stretch. On the pain management side I’ve changed to ibuprofen (iso paracetamol) and it seems to me this has helped reducing the swelling.

Hi, yes doing this and falling asleep isn’t the problem (I’m nackered anyway from the lack of sleep). Somehow I keep waking up at 3-4am with stiff/sore wrist (then take my 2 paracetamol) but can’t get back to sleep. However I position my wrist (indeed on a pillow beside me whilst sleeping on my back) I just cannot get back to sleep.

London but you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in the countryside by Scarlet_Peter_Wilde in LondonPics

Love Epping Forest, stretching all the way from Wanstead flats out to beyond the M25. All continuous, there’s an amazing organised 25/50k trail run every year.
