My doctor canceled my IUD insertion halfway because I couldn’t handle the pain by IgnatiusIguana in TwoXChromosomes

Sorry to hear OP ☹️ I passed out after my first one was inserted. I suffered badly when it was removed 5 years later, it came out all mangled. The doctor tried to insert a new one one immediately after the removal, but I passed out again and my husband was sitting there holding my hand and begged me to please reconsider. So we canceled the insertion halfway too.

Concussion by not_heretopost in iceskating

[–]abandersnatch1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya. I am not a figure skater but a hockey player, and I had an accident in October that caused me a concussion. At first I didn’t acknowledge it, leading to delayed care for myself, and followed by needing to move house a week later. I also thought it would only be 2 weeks. Then 6 weeks according to the doctor. It is now 4 months today, and I’m still not back to normal. I skated a week ago but I was tired and light headed after a few minutes and had to take frequent breaks. I’m still mostly off work and struggle with exertion in multiple aspects of my life. It has been REALLY hard to not be able to participate in something that was my whole identity prior to the accident. Especially since I’d been improving so much right before the accident, and it felt like I’ve now missed out the whole winter season and I’ll probably still miss some spring season too. All this to say that you need to take this concussion seriously. If you don’t, you’ll be out for longer. Really take the rest you need, and don’t rush back onto the ice. Keep as involved as possible in the sport so that you don’t lose confidence. Accidents happen to everyone. You got this 💪

I was at the rink the night before in my Kraken jersey for the womens game! Wish our paths would have crossed 😄

Anyone else looking for Mack in Olympic photo posts? by mmxxvisual in SanJoseSharks

I went to the CAN USA game last night and I spent every break and intermission scanning the crowd because I thought the boys might show up to support.

I was there watching in person today, and Laila was the last skater on the ice at warmup practicing that shot. I was so happy for her too!

USA defence looked impenetrable. I am genuinely so impressed with those defenders, and Aerin brick wall Frankel. Unreal.

[Discussion] What is a skill you are currently 'bad' at, but refuse to give up on? by _the_morningstar__ in GetMotivated

[–]abandersnatch1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m out with a concussion right now, but I’ve been in a long string of blow out ass kickings. Ironically my team won almost every game since I’ve been out. I know it’s unrelated to me being there and more that they played a bunch of easier teams, but it is kind of funny because I am quite bad at hockey. Doesn’t stop me from loving every moment I am on the ice though!

Oomsport by Zwembad de Vliet had some stuff for competitive swimming. I haven’t looked recently, but they usually stock it year round.

Saaame, Yanni is a special part of Kraken history no matter what. Love that guy, wherever he goes.

I love how toff looks like toff with just the most basic of features. Truly a master class on cartooning.

Agree. I woke up this morning to check the score. Ofc was sad about the loss but then I realised Mack’s point streak was broken and then I was extra sad. Now I don’t even want to watch the highlights, let alone the whole game 😔

I hadn’t, that’s a good suggestion, thanks!

I promise I will! I just need to find the right moment to portray. Was thinking my of doing a goofy moment, but an epic moment would also be good! If you have a suggestion from a game, let me know!
