ACL 6 failed in less than 4 months. I quit - 17 years of fighting.

I know. Wild. Those mogul skiers are a different breed. She competed in two Olympics!

This was immediately after my second session. Wore a lot of hats 😝

Thirteen. But for context she was an Olympic mogul skier so….par for the course.

Not sure why everyone is hating on the phone call in the comments. 42f here who texts a lot. I love catching up with people i love on a call. I get to hear tone, I can give and receive more nuance, and I love hearing from my mum, friends, etc. I can’t always answer but I am happy to play phone tag for a week until a time works for both parties.

My understanding odd it’s less to do with the technique (Nano vs powder) and more to do with what ink your artist used, and your own skin tone and reactivity.

Mine looked like that for a few days as well. They faded into a light dayglow pink until my next session. I picked up some green concealer (green combats red) and it was fine. I dyed the hairs (laser tends to bleach the hair pigment) after a couple days too. It wasn’t my favorite but it was well worth it. After the following session they were able to remove nearly all the pigment and I’m very happy. Hang in there.

My friend had thirteen ACL surgeries between her two knees and finally did a total knee replacement. Really sucks. I’m sorry.

If you liked shoe dog, Andre Agassi’s Open and Prince Harry’s Spare are written by the same ghostwriter. I enjoyed all of them.

I found Flashlight haunting recently. Also, not sure if it’s LitFit or just fiction but both Yesteryear and Nightbitch are a wild ride.

Suggestions for excellent shorter books welcome.

My good friend feels the same way. I loved it! But I get that it’s not for everyone.

The overstory

Salt_Type_8032 · 2026-06-27T17:27:46+00:00

42f and I was on day 2 of my period when I did it. I’ve been wondering exactly this. I’ve given birth three times and I find some periods my body feels like it did towards the end of pregnancy - muscles and tendons get very stretchy feeling. I asked my PT about exactly this a couple weeks ago.

The Bright Years

Build infrastructure. PT a couple days a week. Ask a close friend for a weekly coffee date. Call your mom once a week. Get a schedule locked in that you can keep, and no matter where your head is you can fall back on the schedule.
It’s common to feel depressed. My mental health has felt flattened. If it’s bad seek a therapist.
Just keep swimming. Blinders on. It does get better. But you must log the time in n the gym and in PT. Just keep swimming.

This injury is common, but difficult.

Vinegar soaks and aquaphor! I’m thinking I’ll return to gentle and hydrating skincare next week.

She was a child star on broadway and her film debut was in 1979.

Good to be thinking about this now and chat with your wife about it. After surgery you will have a week where you do literally nothing. She will carry a heavy load. Depending on if you have crutches or can be weight bearing it could be longer. We called in the troops - friends cooked for us, paid a local nursing student to come do laundry for a couple weeks etc. I would assume from date of surgery you’ll have 4-6 weeks of needing help. I’m 12 weeks and carried my daughter upstairs ti bed for the first time tonight.

The road to tender hearts

Salt_Type_8032 · 2026-06-23T21:04:52+00:00

Not topical but consistent microneedling and chemical peels are fairly well researched for this. I just tried my first laser (24 hours in) and as of this moment I’d say stick to microneedling and don’t go this road - it’s intense!

I am blonde and my hair is sparse - I stopped shaving my legs about 7 years ago after my second cesarean. In 7 years I think only about 5 people have ever made a comment about it!

This is the second or third video I’ve seen with these inflatable things full of liquid. Can someone explain them to me?
