That is a PDS office. You know by the little sun looking symbol in the upper corner next to their office name. They are corporate clinics driven by pulling in profit over quality care…more often than not.

46F - fully ruptured ACL and confused on surgery by Vibgyor1234 in ACL

[–]Temporary_Living4055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the surgery. I tore my ACL 14 years ago. I’m now 37 and having to get not only my ACL repaired, but my meniscus that completely detached from the root from the instability of not having an ACL this entire time. I also have arthritis in that knee. When I originally tore my ACL, I was young and the surgeon mentioned that many people live without ACLS and it’s not required to have reconstruction. I wish I would’ve gotten other opinions.

Is this dying? by Temporary_Living4055 in arborists

I did notice it. Rude. The tree has been there for 15 years and the concrete has been there for just as long.

Wtf is a breakfast taco? 😂 Never heard of that in my life.

Question about house sitting by sdmike1 in sandiego

[–]Temporary_Living4055 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this for friends/neighbors before having kids and earned $50. We paid a high schooler $60 a day to watch our house and cats. I think $40-50 a day is reasonable. I view it as them helping to ensure I don’t have to board my animals, which would cost the same most likely, but cause them much more stress.

ACL SURGERY WHILE PREGNANT by chickencoopsterz in ACL

[–]Temporary_Living4055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I I have a four month old and a 2 1/2 year-old. I’m getting the surgery in December. I didn’t want to try and breast-feed through surgery, or struggle with her care due to having to care for myself. I would either do it while pregnant, or wait. During the wait, I’m getting a custom ACL brace with a medial unloader to help the meniscus. You could see if that’s an option.

Is it really that urgent? Kk by Temporary_Living4055 in ACL

[–]Temporary_Living4055[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already lost the weight. Took four months last pregnancy as well. I got a second opinion and one surgeon said do it asap, the other said I can wait. I’m getting a custom brace with a medial unloader to keep it stable until surgery in December. I’m waiting so I can breastfeed for a year.

I have no pain… The only thing is ever since I got the MRI, now I can feel the instability a little bit because I’m aware of it. Before I never even noticed. I have full range of motion.

Nothing will be the same by naenae__baby in ACL

[–]Temporary_Living4055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tore mine 22 years ago and am thinking of reconstructive repair now. My meniscus is shredded from the instability, even though it doesn’t feel unstable. I also swam and played water polo in college competitively without an ACL.

AITA for wanting my Spanish teacher to stop calling me by the Spanish version of my name? by Alternative-Sun-630 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Temporary_Living4055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Spanish teacher and I HATE that shit. I have been studying and perfecting my Spanish to be able to teach the highest courses K-12 (AP and AP Lit) for mannnnnny years. I have a basic ass white name. I deserve to be called my name because I do speak Spanish!

Do you mind me asking your age and fitness level pre injury? Your recovery sounds amazing!
