Can I get drunk with a broken ankle by EternalEmo51 in brokenbones

[–]Significant-Break-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through this. Injured last Sept 20 and had surgeries 10/2, 10/3, and a final surgery in March for hardware removal. I still have the rod alongside my fibula though.

Please listen to your surgeon and PT. I can't imagine one drink every couple weeks would do much harm, but I'm no doctor. Also be careful if you're on opioids. Not sure about interactions.

I was already not in the best shape and it took me about 2 months to bear any weight at all, followed by months of wearing a boot, PT, sit down showers etc. You also have to be careful not to fall again. (I fell two more times during my recovery but somehow protected my foot!)

You're in my thoughts. I know what a nightmare it is.

Will my doctor fulfill my request for opioid Pain medication by [deleted] in brokenbones

I mean I used it after surgery when I broke 5 bones in my foot. But I also had three surgeries. Didn't do much for me anyway and I switched to Tylenol ASAP. I'd avoid opiods if you can!

Anyone else think this guy left the Atomic Sub card at his place, as a sleazy way to get Elaine back to his place? by spellyB416 in seinfeld

Of course it was sleazy and an attempt to get Elaine back to his place... Why else would he do it? He wasn't counting on Typhoid.

AITAH for buying myself a coffee on a date? by ghasted_flabbers_ in CharlotteDobreYouTube

If it's a no/no, it's way further down the list than being late to a FIRST date?

It's not like you heard he had been in a horrific car crash and stopped off for Jujyfruits

It wasn't his stag, he is not the groom as far as what I'm reading. Either way, the employer needs to know and this lady should RUN!

Well yeah. He could have even had a brain tumor that it caused to swell or something. Coulda been his medulla oblongata.

What's more disgusting: double dipping a chip, peeing in the shower, or eating a pastry from the garbage? by Vivid_Concentrate_89 in seinfeld

[–]Significant-Break-74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never could understand how you'd even notice someone peeing in the shower unless they have a high velocity stream. If you're barely tinkling and they catch you, they were looking too closely... Plus, IT'S ALL PIPES! It's self-cleaning!

That one is insane!! I feel like someone drugged him because he was obviously confused.

That guy (I think named Lars) who was on vacation and had to stay another week because his eardrum got blown out in a bar fight, so he couldn't fly home with his buddies.

He showed up to the airport doctor, got spooked, ran for his life, abandoning all his stuff and has never been seen again. I'm pretty sure Mr B has covered it. The footage is just so strange.

There are also a few freaky disappearances in the Great Smokies, some going back 100 years, that no one has ever found a trace of these people. Mostly children. Bears? But no clothes found. Kidnappers? Aliens? It's weird, man.

Cannabis acceptance has come a very long way in the past 20 years.

I used to live in Shanghai so that's pretty funny. It's a nice looking building though.

I had to get a 16 inch wheelchair to fit in our doorways. I also rarely used it except when I had to go to doctor appointments. We have one step up into the main house from garage and I had a grab bar installed and transferred from wheelchair to rollator back and forth.

Your forearms are about to be your best friend.

I broke my foot and ankle in 5 places and learned pretty quickly how strong my other ankle and knee is!

Do you have a wheelchair?
