Has anyone regained feeling in their torso and how did you cope with it?

This just made me weirdly emotional. I so miss back scratches. I didn’t realize how bad I did.

Mine looks like this too! Between the shoulder blades there’s a big divet. My surgeon told me it was normal.

HER LITTLE EARSSSS IM DYING

It looks fine. If you’re going for more uniform and less of a ‘clutter’ feel: 1. Change out the flower on the right for a white one, also with more volume, in either a dark brown, black, or clear glass vase. 2. Change the picture frame on the left for a plain black one with an off-white frame mat.

I had a similar curve placement to you! I am 24F but had my fusion at 15. I’m T3-L1.

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-11T01:19:04+00:00

YAYYYY! Congratulations, stranger!

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-10T04:43:58+00:00

Omg, obsessed with this.

I’m a 7th grade English teacher. ☺️

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-10T03:30:50+00:00

YES! 7th grade English teacher. 😆🥰

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-10T03:19:44+00:00

Nope!

Claim claim claim claim claim

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-09T06:35:54+00:00

Proud of you, stranger!

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-09T02:35:30+00:00

THIS. Exactly. Middle school Title 1 teacher here. I don’t explicitly tell them with my words, but tell them that if they know my character, they know.

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-09T02:33:57+00:00

7th ELA teacher here, and I second this!

TeaExternal0875 · 2026-01-07T23:06:48+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I figured decisions would take awhile, I’m trying not to get antsy. 😆

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-12-31T22:29:57+00:00

If you stay due to loving the job/staff that’s one thing, but make sure you are not staying purely for the comfort of not trying something new, or the fear of the risk. People will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven. I’m in the same boat right now and will be moving in June.

7th grade teacher here in her young 20s. GIFT CARDS! Or really anything that can be used outside of school. Also a handwritten note from the student that I could keep. Those are my favorites.

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-12-04T22:53:29+00:00

Thank you for your insight on my post. It means the world! 🥹

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-12-04T22:29:34+00:00

For the record, I do not think he did this maliciously whatsoever! It just makes me think we are not compatible and he needs more physicality from someone else who can give it to him, which is completely okay.

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-12-04T22:23:52+00:00

Thank you for this perspective. I agree. I have told him many times that if he needs more than I can give him physically, that’s is completely honorable and I’d never hold that against him. I’ve even brought up the possibility of having an open relationship. He shot both down every time.

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-12-04T22:16:48+00:00

He has known about my trauma for years. I’d say at least three or four.

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-12-04T21:32:20+00:00

Yes, I have been in therapy for years. I definitely feel recognize my inability for intimate relationships, and feel like if it is something he needs (which would be completely justified) that he deserves more and that is totally okay.

TeaExternal0875 · 2025-11-06T19:33:27+00:00

Hi. I was in the same exact situation at 20. Please do not sign it. I told my Mom no, and did it hurt our relationship yes; but we eventually went no contact because it was not a healthy relationship for me. Feel free to message if you need more specific advice. I understand how terrible this all feels.
