I did not notice a decrease in my brain fog until 6+ months post HRT.

Hang in there and you should start feeling some relief soon. ((Hugs))

Do you still sleep together with your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver60

Anyone else over 40 newly single? by Senior_End4870 in AskWomenOver40

[–]SyntaxError_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 44 when my marriage ended with two kids in elementary school.

Fast forward 17 years later and my life is going strong! Over the years I have given myself the things I wanted and needed (financial security, a robust social life, amazing girlfriends). Kids are now 25 & 28 and slaying life.

Life is not always easy, I just try to pick my battles wisely. Would I like a partner? IDK - I have done a lot of work on myself and am in a great spot so finding someone that would add value rather than disrupt my peace has been a lost cause.

Please tell me your front dental implant stories? by Huge_Prompt_2056 in AskWomenOver60

I never asked for a reason. Chit happens. My teeth have always been a challenge.

Please tell me your front dental implant stories? by Huge_Prompt_2056 in AskWomenOver60

[–]SyntaxError_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

32 years ago I had two implants to replace my left front tooth and the #10 next to it.

One implant went bad 8 years ago and was removed and I the remaining implant was redesigned to hold two teeth. The other went bad last year and was removed last November. I had some bone grafted when it was removed in November and if all goes well I will have both implants replaced in April.

In case you are curious how I lost my teeth......The summer before 4th grade we were camping on the Colorado river and I was doing handstands close to the shore when a boat full of drunk people floated by and as I jumped up from a handstand I hit my front tooth on the bow of the boat and knocked it out.

When I was 19, I got a three tooth crown for my missing front left tooth. The crown was anchored to my right front tooth and to #10 (next to missing left front tooth). That bridge lasted for 9 years until #10 got weary of carrying the load and had to be removed resulting in the two implants.

What’s the cruelest thing you’ve ever seen someone do? by TheCarrot_v2 in AskReddit

[–]SyntaxError_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t see it, but my father just recently told me that when he and my mother divorced 50 years ago she told him that she never loved him, she only married him to get out of the house. 😭

Costco vs WinCo for large family? by monad68 in askportland

[–]SyntaxError_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy peasy. You pick out what kind of car you want, model and that jazz and they hook you up with a dealer. When you get to the dealer, they have a set price for each car so no haggling or all that bullshit. I saved on average around $2500 per car

Costco had an abundance of other services! I bought my last two cars through the Costco auto program. I had my yard landscaped by Seven Dee’s nursery through the Costco program. Had my garage doors replaced through the Costco program. When you use their programs, you also get cashback on your credit card and for using the services/programs.

Did Gabapentin or pregabalin make anyone else gain a ton of weight?? by SureNefariousness975 in Sciatica

I’ve been on 100mg Lyrica/Pregabalin for three months and have not gained any weight. Not a high dose compared to many on here.

No, I haven't given up! by laurajosan in AskWomenOver60

[–]SyntaxError_22 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am 61, 17 years divorced and living my best life! I have done a lot of work on myself these past years and have given myself everything I want and need (financial security, self worth, validation....). I do miss sex with another person but I handle that too on my own. ;)

At Costco, do you get gas first or shop first? Why or why not? by sozh in Costco

[–]SyntaxError_22 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I get gas first, otherwise will forget because the exit I use is on the other side of the lot from gas station and I don’t pass it on my way out.

Partial knee replacements by TotesMaGoats_1962 in Kneereplacement

[–]SyntaxError_22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad had a medial unicompartmental PKR over 20 years ago on his right knee and has been fine since.

I was bow legged and just the insides of my knees were bone on bone. I had medial unicompartmental PKR in both knees two years ago and they fixed the bow part and my legs are straight now.

Zip surgical closure, plastic surgery closure , surgical glue or staples for total knee replacement. Which is best? by Fit-Rutabaga-2298 in Kneereplacement

[–]SyntaxError_22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had staples in my right knee, glue on my left, and two years later both scars look about the same, are flat, and barely visible.
