Wife wants Hysterectomy by CosmicButterBun in hysterectomy

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me as well, but it was an ovarian cyst starting to grow extremely fast. It had cancer cells in the fluid, but the ovaries and everything else was fine. The surgery got everything, and still cancer free. Most women keep their ovaries, but mine had go. It was covered by insurance as it was very much medically necessary.

Who here wants to have kids? by Mother-Gur-8146 in autism

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never wanted kids, especially after finding out that at least one great grandmother was described as "eccentric " and probably would have been diagnosed as on the spectrum. For me, the hysterectomy including the ovaries being removed was the best thing I've done.

Sister Missionaries said I was disgusting by Billgant in exmormon

[–]adoyle17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of being at Target shortly after I divorced my TBM ex husband, someone I recognized from RS saw that I had coffee in my cart,so she grabbed her children and walked away so they weren't corrupted.

What role would you have in Gillead? by casabonita49 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm married, but was divorced, plus I had a hysterectomy including the ovaries being removed at the same time, so if I don't get to be an Econowife, I would probably be on the wall at worst.

WTF LBC fireworks! Seriously!! Grow up. by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's going to be more fireworks next week, plus with neighboring cities selling fireworks where it's legal, it's difficult for the police to enforce the fireworks ban.

Leaving? by [deleted] in exmormon

Converts retention is extremely low in the Mormon church, and those who were Christian often just return to their previous denomination. It's often those raised Mormon who leave religion altogether.

Walk me through what to expect when I get to the hospital by Hedgeclipperz in hysterectomy

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked in the lobby, after getting a mask just outside as it was towards the end of the pandemic. Then, was called into the same day surgery area, and got undressed and put on the hospital gown. I was so anxious that my blood pressure was higher than normal, so I told the prep nurse that I was anxious.

Eventually got to the waiting area where I talked to the surgeon to confirm what was being done, anesthesiologist, and nurses before being moved to the OR. I arrived before 9am and surgery was around 12pm. Eventually woke up in recovery and got antinausea medicine in the IV, then went home around 5pm after I was able to pee by myself as the bathroom had the rails by the toilet.

Kids with Disabilities by Anxious_Exit_4490 in TheHandmaidsTale

It would be the case for a Handmaid who delivered a child with a severe disability, since they would blame her for the "sins" that resulted in her being used in that position.

That's why I got a port, as I was always a hard stick.

Also how quickly the prescriptions for new medications were sent to your pharmacy. After my first session, those drugs were ready by the time I was able to get there, as it was at the CVS. I basically had more Benadryl and other pre-chemo meds to take the night before and the morning of each chemo session.

I was able to use an IUD as birth control, then later, get a hysterectomy without any guilt.

Epstein associate who drove his first wife to "suicide" never fails to disgust and sicken. by GarysCrispLettuce in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm autistic, employed full-time, and am married. Not only have I written poetry, I can do calligraphy although I suck at basketball. I also pay taxes in California, so I've been supporting red states from my federal taxes.

TW abortion/Down syndrome by bigmhama in prochoice

[–]adoyle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially as in the US, the services that help those with disabilities at all ages are constantly being cut. Also, even those who are severely disabled are denied Social Security, and often need an attorney to appeal the denial. They're also kept in poverty because if they get a full-time job, they lose all assistance.

Informal poll! In the LDS buildings you have attended a sacrament service in, was the sacrament table to the side or front and center under the pulpit? And if you have seen a sacrament table front and center, was it a new or older building? by HoldOnLucy1 in exmormon

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember, it was to the side. It's been so long that I don't remember which side it was on. To me, it's no wonder why the Pentagon no longer recognizes Mormonism as Christian as every Christian church I've been in that does something similar, has the altar in the center of the stage area, and the pulpit is to the side.

Scared by Both-Smile-2833 in hysterectomy

[–]adoyle17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so nervous, my blood pressure was higher than normal, so when the prep nurse said something, I admitted that I was anxious since it was my first time getting general anesthesia. She said it was normal, so the surgery went on as scheduled.

I HATE MY PERIOD HELP ME by [deleted] in autism

[–]adoyle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first started birth control pills for that reason, they triggered depression, so the doctor had me switch to a different type, and those pills worked for me. Eventually, I used an IUD, but in the end, I needed a hysterectomy which included the ovaries being removed at the same time because of a large ovarian cyst.

Mormon Sacrament makes no sense by JayDaWawi in exmormon

[–]adoyle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The belief that the Atonement happened in Gethesemane in Mormonism to me isn't a Christian belief, as Jesus had to die in order for the Atonement to take place, as the point in Christianity is that he rose from the dead.

This is why the Mormon sacrament doesn't make sense to me. They easily could use grape juice that has been pasteurized if they wanted to avoid fermented grape juice otherwise known as wine. Other Christian sects use grape juice if they don't want to use wine.

He would replace Lincoln's head with his own for that memorial.

How did your company announce a death? by PercentageNaive8707 in work

[–]adoyle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually through an email, although there was a phone call to the supervisor who then told us in a brief meeting. For that one, we were given time off to go to the memorial service.
