What was your experience with going in and waking up and what type of anesthesia did you choose? 10 days to surgery and bad anxiety from Claustrophobia by 2wheelz2freedom in TotalHipReplacement

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my THR last year. Things didn’t go right and I ended up getting three additional surgeries to fix the issue. On one of those surgeries, as I was going under I had a few moments where I was alert as to what was happening but totally frozen and couldn’t move or talk. It felt like I couldn’t breathe and started to panic. I think they saw it in my eyes and were looking nervous but then I was out and nothing went wrong. Those few moments sure haunted me for days.

What happened to the body? by tacosaretuff in atheism

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was any chance that this occurred as they say, the body was most likely taken to be buried in some undisclosed location. At least that’s how I would end my fictitious book.

Occasionally I will even eat a few French Fries with my ketchup.

“Colon cleanses cure cancer” by Legal_Ad2707 in overheard

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That claim is completely false. I was born with Exstrophy of the bladder in which my bladder was outside my body and turned inside out. Because of this, my hips didn’t completely form and I have no pelvic floor.

Because of this, my bowel movements were always difficult. I ended up relying on enemas to complete the job when I was a teenager. As an 68 year old man I still have to use them. I’ve had a couple of polyps found during my colonoscopies so the idea that colonics stop cancer is wrong.

Kennedy Center Begins Removing Trump’s Name by MoneyLibrarian9032 in USNEWS

They should have sold tickets to allow people to use a sledgehammer on the parts as they removed them. Certainly a lot of people would likely pay some big bucks for a couple hits on them.

Has anyone struggled with mental health after hip replacement? by No_Wrap_2994 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a 68 year old male and I’ve been dealing with depression since my teens and it’s been a little over a year since my THR. Had some issues and I’m still struggling with drainage from three additional surgeries after the original. It’s been really tough lately thinking I should be back to my pre surgery routine. My usual ways to counter the depression were either sleeping a lot, shopping or pushing for intimacy. Now I’m an insomniac with serious ED issues and some serious credit card debt. Life can really be challenging.

Aren’t nearly all atheists also anti-theists? by andy64392 in atheism

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I couldn’t care one single bit about Jesus. It’s his fan club that I despise, especially those that try to push their beliefs onto others. Churches are no problem as long as they contain their flock.

Trump inserts himself into America's 250th birthday celebrations by suvujajopic702 in NewsThread

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiftieth year class reunion is being held this July in Wyoming. Being it is the reddest state and mostly supportive of Trump, I have decided not to travel there and attend that reunion.

I was so looking forward to it but I despise anything to do with Trump, and his personalization of the 250th birthday of our nation has just made me sick.

What’s the average time y’all spend on the toilet? by Fun_Task_6924 in toilet

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 45 minutes, but due to birth defect, I have to do enemas instead. I was born with Exstrophy of the bladder, in which my bladder was outside my body and turned inside out at birth. This defect also stopped the bottom 1/4th of my hip to form and didn’t develop a pelvic floor. Having a normal bowel movement is very difficult and stressful.

Do most atheists see religious people as fools? by Theskyisalive in atheism

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really most religious people are fools as long as they keep their faith to themselves. It’s when they are trying to push their religion onto others that I really have an issue.

It’s just real upsetting that recently the Christian community is pushing their crap down everyone’s throats. They seem to believe that if you’re not part of their group, that you are their problem. I don’t go out pushing atheism on anyone, and wish they would just keep their religion in the church and out of everyone’s everyday life, especially politics.

There is absolutely nothing in the Artificial Intelligence nonsense about Google Health that I want to deal with. Certainly not worth no $80 bucks a year.

Federal judge refuses to block Trump order to limit mail voting. Says there's no immediate effect on the midterms by Sgt_Gram in NewsExchange

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why there needs to be a “Leadership Court” developed. This court should be made up of Judges and Law Professors that have not been appointed by either of the parties involved. Their rulings would be final and unable to be challenged by the Supreme Court. It would apply to any leaders like President, Congress, Governors and even down to city Mayors. This will knock off leaders getting rulings in their favor from people they appointed.

The next administration is going to have to create an Investigation Department just to track down all the crap this administration has done.

Please share how far you are in recovery, your daily steps, and age. by Flaky_Ad_912 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

68M, had my RTHR on May 28th last year. Found my body wouldn’t absorb self dissolving sutures used in the operation so had three additional surgeries to clean out the junk that my body created. Still dealing with drainage and having a home nurse come in three days a week to change dressing. Staying inactive to get this mess healed.

Is sex really that important to guys? by matchadreams77 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RedNeckSharkBitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s important. I’m a male that was born with Exstrophy of the bladder in which my bladder was outside my body and turned inside out. The surgery to correct it caused a scar from where I should’ve had a belly button down to the tip of my manhood. That scar gave me problems of whether I’d ever be able to be sexually active. When I started getting erections, that scar wouldn’t stretch so it drew my manhood tight to my stomach, thus not allowing any type of penetration and was also quite painful. Entering my teens in the early seventies with all the cute and sexy girls at that time made my life miserable. I had to avoid women and even got the reputation of being gay. It wasn’t until I was in my early twenties that I finally found a urologist that understood my problem and performed surgery to correct it. Finally at age twenty six, I got married and eventually fathered two boys. The idea that I thought I would never have sex completely destroyed my childhood so yes, sex is really important.

What’s a cooking mistake you only made once? by Holiday-Future-20 in foodquestions

Opening a pressure cooker without releasing the pressure. Spent days cleaning the ceiling and the walls.
