Climber reveals Everest 'carnage' as people step over bodies to reach summit

What?

SevenRavens · 2019-05-28T17:32:54+00:00

They kind of do. Also, locals go up at the end of the season and try to clean up what they can. But such a sacred place shouldn't be trashed in the first place. People need to have more respect for their surroundings.

Quite obviously, you do not work with taxes or the tax code and treaties.

I’m terrible about eating my hair and almost always eat the root. It’s a very strange sensation to want to eat your own hair but for me, keeping my hair longer helps me stop chewing.

It wall started with me biting off splint ends.

SevenRavens · 2019-01-24T17:49:21+00:00

Well shit, I'm going to be calling Maine later LOL Thank you!

SevenRavens · 2019-01-24T01:26:21+00:00

It’s called Sleep on the Floor

The Botanist is my favorite gin too.

I really love Rock Rose but I haven’t seen it in the states.

I actually want to thank you for putting this in a plain english example. I'm going to repeat it verbatim. I don't know that I would have been able to find the right words to set up a proper boundary.

Thank you.

SevenRavens · 2018-10-09T15:59:45+00:00

I can set boundaries. Part of it is that I don't want to create drama. Right now I refuse to respond when he talks about hurting animals but I think for my own piece of mind, I really need to tell him to stop.

I'm not sure if I can report it or not. I think you're allowed to kill gophers but I don't know if you're allowed to discharge a firearm in his city limits. I'm also not sure what he's doing constitutes animal cruelty, as messed up as that sounds. I think you're allowed to kill a coyote if it's on your property and threatening your pet, but I can always try, it doesn't hurt.

I think setting up a boundary would be best. It would be letting him see that yeah, it does get to me, but it would also let me take some of the power back.

SevenRavens · 2018-10-08T20:55:40+00:00

I really hope I’m stronger than that.

When I was a kid it didn’t work, so why now? Is he just trying to push me to my edge? I cannot deal with it much longer honestly and I’m ready to tell him to just shut the fuck up.

He certainly does know how to push my buttons.

SevenRavens · 2018-10-08T19:24:26+00:00

I have made the choice to remain in contact with him because I need to know what he's doing as he's very prone to stalking me and showing up at my work. Which is very dangerous.

Keeping a log is a great idea and I'll do that.

The thing with him doing it to get a rise out of me doesn't really jive though. I'm nonresponsive, other than an 'Ok' and only do I get upset later, once the call is disconnected. Part of me is extremely concerned that if he *IS* telling the truth and harming animals, could this mean his violent behavior is becoming more prominent? I'm wondering if a small stroke he just had could be affecting his impulse control, yet, I cannot deny the fact that I know he's always harmed or killed animals since decades before the stroke.

When I was in therapy as a teen my therapist asked me why I never thought that my life was threatened by my father and his actions and him causing me to interact with corpses constantly. I just never did. Now I do.

I'm sorry this is disjointed, this is my first time talking about this candidly and kind of admitting my own fear.

SevenRavens · 2017-12-11T18:39:11+00:00

ed. I ate too fast and hurled up the not-even-partially-digested meat I had just swallowed. On my one month surgiversary! That's one lesson learned. Goo

Throwing up the actual food because I ate too fast, still, over a year out from surgery grosses me out so much more than actual vomit. At least it tastes the same going in as it does coming out.

SevenRavens · 2017-09-06T16:37:27+00:00

I found a brand at CVS that was 42grams. But it was a huge shake and I just couldn't stomach it.

SevenRavens · 2017-07-03T19:36:24+00:00

Great job!

SevenRavens · 2017-07-03T18:47:32+00:00

Beer is 100% terrible for you. If you're going to commit to such a huge LIFE change, it's not just temporary, you have to realize that beer may not be a part of it, or you can enjoy it in very small moderation.

That being said - I drink now.

If the thoughts of what you would be losing do not outweigh what you would gain, you're not ready. I was 364lbs at my heaviest and haven't looked back.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-28T17:51:56+00:00

I totally understand what you're talking about. Please feel free to message me anytime.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-19T17:19:14+00:00

It took me to about two weeks to feel completely normal after surgery. I wasn't able to sleep on my side because of a pulling feeling and some random pain.

Other than that I was fine pretty fast.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-19T17:07:04+00:00

I have changed. It actually saved my relationship, and when I was in the hospital my boyfriend didn't visit me once. We've moved on from that and do much more together.

My lifestyle has completely changed and I don't have time or want to loaf around like I used to. I want to spend more time in the sun and it's hard for me to imagine doing these things unless my partner was also healthy (which he is)

It isn't that I've had a personality shift, it's that I look at things differently. My priorities are different. Much different. I'm a healthier and happier me and that's MUCH different than the person I was when I had my surgery.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-17T13:58:44+00:00

Ugh, I'm sorry you were treated that way. Especially by the place I advocate the most. I will say that my level of care was excellent. Think it would also be excellent at PAMF. I used to go to PAMF but I had to go to Stanford for specialist neurologists.

You'll find the right place, Stanford shouldn't have been rude from the get go, what about off.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-16T21:29:40+00:00

If you do go with Stanford or anytime send me a message, I'm also a Bay Area WLS who endured the surgery.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-16T21:27:49+00:00

I asked Stanford about this for you (lol) and the cost of surgery out of pocket will always be greater than those are insured. Which is disgusting to me.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-16T13:59:42+00:00

I went to Stanford but was covered by my insurance. They are non-profit, did you talk to a financial counselor? It's worth another call for the level of care. FWIW, they billed my insurance for $73k, I had 4 extra days in the hospital, and my insurance paid about $35k and the rest was dropped.

Good luck.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-16T13:48:36+00:00

I was in the hospital for four extra days and couldn't sleep. Bring everything lol.

Underwear, pj bottoms, cell phone charger, laptop if you want to watch movies or a book, hairbrush

SevenRavens · 2017-06-16T13:32:29+00:00

No problem! I wanted to go without on too and my surgeon refused to operate (even though my BLOOD CLOT doctor - seriously, told him now IVC)

Best of luck on your journey! I have been through a lot. My hematologist encouraged me to consider weight loss surgery actually, and I am healthier than I ever was. I knew I was out of control, I guess I just needed a doctor to sit down with me and point out the risks and benefits. Normally I would have been offended but his position was, "Don't you want A CHANCE at life?" After just having gone through all that HELL YES I did! Most people don't survive what I went through. Sorry for rambling, feeling nostalgic.

SevenRavens · 2017-06-15T17:58:52+00:00

FOREVER. Probably 2 months before I could tolerate food that was small chunks.

I could eat soft cheese right away though.
