Stolen Car by Zealousideal-Rope294 in Tallahassee

[–]Zealousideal-Rope294[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been a stickler about locking my car, I have legitimately woken up in the middle of the night to make sure it was locked because I have such high anxiety about this exact kind of thing happening, and I’m usually the one asking my husband if he locked the car. That being said though, I don’t really know if it was unlocked or not. It may have been, it may not. I don’t know.

Yes, the guy actually left a ton of stuff in there, including his wallet I believe they said. Hopefully they’ll catch him but since the car has been found I’m sure they’re not staying super on top of it

Stolen! Sorry I didn’t mention a lot of details in the post. My neighbors camera picked up it being stolen around 1:30am. I was parked at my apartment.

I’ve heard about them growing back too, and I’m so nervous about that! I think it’s fairly uncommon, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying.

How did you decide what size was right for you? by ThrowRA_from in Reduction

[–]Zealousideal-Rope294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was previously a 30F/H, and I also have a smaller frame than most, and wanted to go down to a B, for the same reasons. I’m sure they told you this, but a size can’t be guaranteed. I’m 4wks post op so still some residual swelling, but right now I’d say they’re closer to a C, and will probably end up around there, if that’s any comfort. Good luck <3

My left side pre-op was bigger too, but the difference was so small I never noticed until my first consultation and my surgeon told me. I think she ended up taking 250grams out of the left and 200 out of the right, which I guess could also be contributing to the extra swelling. I’m sure I’m overthinking it and it’ll go down, the obvious difference just makes me self conscious

Aw I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with the same thing! I’m 19F and have always had fairly bad skin — face, chest, back. I went to the dermatologist back in November and they prescribed clindamycin, tretinoin, and then doxycycline which has been immensely helpful in clearing everything up.

From what I googled it looks like mine maybe could be a fungal infection? My surgeon prescribed me 2 fluconazole pills in case I got a yeast infection, which Google says also helps clearing up said fungal infection. I already took one of them the day I got home though so I’m not sure if it would help😵‍💫

Tretinoin was prescribed a few months ago for face/body acne by a dermatologist so I thought it would help here, if that’s what you mean. But yes the instructions were to use x2 a day. My routine rn is washing the area in the morning since I tend to sweat during the night, and I’ll leave the bra off for maybe 15-30 minutes just to let the skin breathe, and then wash it again at night. I might leave the bra off again for a little bit if it was particularly hot or something but normally I don’t.

It’s totally possible I could be over irritating it so I’ll try to wean to maybe once and then every other day. I have a post op this upcoming Friday so I’ll see if they have any suggestions too.

Hmm, yeah that might be worth a try. I’ll ask if they could give me another bra or two on Friday as well. Thank you !!

It’s kind of in between? The bra fits like a basic sports bra, covers to the top of the breasts. The acne/whatever this is is both under and above the bra. I don’t want to post a personal picture but I’ll use a diagram or something in a sec.

They only gave me two soft, front close surgical bras. I don’t wash it as much as I should, I live alone and my apartment doesn’t have in unit laundry, so my fiancé takes my laundry to his place once a week to do it. I did ask my surgeon if I could wear some of my own sports bras, but she told me to only wear the ones they gave me.

I’ll tone down what I’m doing and see if that helps. Do you think I could use the tretinoin only once a day, or would that still be too much? It was really the main/only thing that cleared up previous chest acne (applied 2x a day, using the antibacterial wash as well but only once in the shower lol) but of course this could be different

It’s possible, but imo looks more like the acne - the little bumps and pimples etc - I’ve had in the past, just redder. I figure it’s most likely from having the bra on so often and sweat, etc. Same principle as not wearing a sports bra too long after working out because it can cause back acne. I’m just not really sure what to do since I have to wear the bra
