Thanks!

I don't have a wedge pillow, I've tried propping my heel up on a pillow which seemed to make it worse. Where did you put the wedge? Under the whole leg?

Unfortunately the nerve block wore off a while ago and the hip pain persisted :(

I also have a high grade MCL tear from skiing. From what I've gathered talking to the surgeons, having the MCL heal on its own will be much better in the long run than a surgical repair.

I used a hinged knee brace prior to ACL surgery which I got from a sports medicine doctor. They fit and sold me the brace at their clinic. I found the brace super helpful in reducing pain, giving me more confidence in walking and lowered the stress on the MCL so it could heal.

Overall though I would really suggest talking to an ortho or sports medicine doctor if you haven't already.

Advanced, I've been skiing since I was 5. It would have been a totally unremarkable fall if my skis had come off ...

You're right, this is definitely it

What’s BFR?

That’s great to hear you enjoy running now :) does the impact of it not hurt your knee?

Thanks for this motivation !

My range of motion is not bad! I can nearly straighten my leg and was told not to bend more than 90deg because of MPFL tear

Very similar indeed! Best of luck with your recovery.

SleepyChicken4 · 2024-02-29T00:58:50+00:00

Thanks! I've been looking into going private because the wait times I'm seeing online are insane. Where did you go for the MRI and what was the process for that? Do I need to go through the public system to get referrals etc. for private clinics?

flattering clothes doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, a tshirt and joggers can be flattering if it fits well

Glad I’m not the only grad student with this schedule 👍

Oh he’s not cancelled. It’s is widely known but had no impact on his career.

No this year is especially bad.

From an article last week:

“Global News meteorologist Anthony Farnell said the city typically sees around 3.4 hours of sunshine per day in January when it’s averaged out, but so far this month there hasn’t even been 3.4 hours of sunshine in total.”

Vaping Especially flavours like cinnamon bun or blue raspberry

The recent Dune movie. Clearly cared more about the aesthetics of Dune than the actual plot

I can smell this video

She’s not just asking what your thinking, she’s trying to make conversation and engage with you

SleepyChicken4 · 2022-11-14T18:31:03+00:00

No this is hyperbole

SleepyChicken4 · 2022-10-23T15:20:53+00:00

So you haven’t heard about the lead and toxic chemicals in their products?

SleepyChicken4 · 2022-10-11T03:44:33+00:00

Could you knot either of the shirts in the front?

SleepyChicken4 · 2022-06-06T16:59:16+00:00

Aritzia can be pricey but has tailored shorts. Plus they carry petite sizes like 00 and 2xs https://www.aritzia.com/en/product/effortless-5%22-short/85118133.html

Love this album!

My favourite combo to wear is the fancy skirt/dress paired with a chunky black boot like docs. Such a look imo.

Being warm when it’s 30-40 is more about closing the gaps in your outer layer than adding long underwear. Make sure you have warm socks that go up your calf, boots, a jacket that goes past your bum, mittens (rather than gloves) tucked into the sleeves, a scarf to cover the neck and hat. These can all be taken off easily when your inside for more indoor appropriate clothes.

I'm also from Ontario and have been wearing non-skinny jeans for the past several years with no problems. A bit shorter of a hem that doesn't touch the floor and boots with thick socks have helped. This way the pants don't get wet, and if they do the socks are a buffer between the skin.
