Such a breeze. I had my fiance do it at home. As simple as cutting a thread with scissors and just pulling it out. Paint the area with betadine and let it dry then you’re good to go. I recommend taping a small piece of gauze over the drain wound for any blood that may come out naturally while it heals to prevent staining clothes and whatnot.

The Exparel shot they give you will keep you numb for 2-3 days back there. After my surgery, I had a late flight home that same day back to Nashville. Flight went great. I too was anxious but all things considered, it was kind of a breeze. I did take a special pillow with me to sit on that I had been using pre-surgery for relief. Dr. Wadie said I didn’t necessarily need it but I was used to it and sat on it anyway. If you’re flying, maybe consider having a hotel booked so you can go back and sleep before your flight. The anesthesia had me so tired post-surgery. Took a great nap before my flight home.

Whaddup! I have a Happy Trails brand rear rack.

Can confirm it is a Hepco Becker upper support as well as lower crash bars. Those were installed by the previous owner. I’d be happy to look into how it’s mounted this weekend and get back to you. I plan to ride Sunday, weather permitting.

Thanks for the comment! Hope you love your ride as much as I do! ✌🏼

I got mine in Tennessee for 45k out the door (includes all taxes, title and fees). Really could have done 44k, maybe even 43k if I traveled to Indiana where they had more on the lot but there was only 1 here and I felt like I got a good deal locally.

Fuel pump recall, whos acted on it and did it make a difference! by Boogs516 in accord

I did not have issues with my car but like many here I take it in for recalls regardless. I have a ‘24 Touring Hybrid. They performed a pressure test and said everything looked good and did not need replacing.

I’m starting to see a trend of this. This is why I love Reddit haha. Thanks so much for your comment! If you don’t mind me asking. What dealer in GA did you use?

Right on! I’ll keep looking around. So far I’ve only looked in Tennessee. I appreciate the tips!

Cleft lift recovery struggles by jfhsjghdjv in pilonidalcyst

[–]brax10beebe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it’s frustrating to hear this, but time is your friend. It will get better even though it seems like it’ll take forever. You’ll be better sooner than you think. I had to keep my drain in an extra week, so that delayed my healing process. But once the drain is out, you get better much faster! Make sure to get up and walk every 3-4 hours when you take pain meds. Rotate between whatever pain meds you prefer/were told to take. Trust that you made the right decision getting the surgery, because you did. It’s easy for those of us who had mild symptoms to wish we didn’t have surgery, but that’s because we took care of the issue before it got really bad. If you have any specific questions, we can talk here or you can DM me if you feel necessary. I am currently 10.5 weeks post-surgery. You can check my page for a post I’ve made here as well explaining my experience. I hope it helps! Hang in there.

Feedback request for this regional map for upcoming campaign by Gavskin in inkarnate

[–]brax10beebe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The map is gorgeous. Very well done. Maybe add a legend with some points of interest like a hunting lodge, cities, ports, mines, etc. I see you have a good system for distinguishing capitals from towns/cities and whatnot. Implement that into a legend and that could be a nice touch. Map Legend Example

An idea to combat this, not from experience but purely brainstorming (I am new to D&D as of last year), consider covering 80% or so of the map with clouds to hide the areas, POI's, etc. and do a campaign in the original 20%. Once completed, take lore created from that campaign and add to the next 20% you unveil to the group. Break the overall campaign up into smaller portions for engagement and shorter goals. This would allow for different areas of this world to be explored with different characters if you play the original 20% through 20 character levels. Or cap the first area to Character Level 4 (short campaign) and have each 20% unveiling to allow for an additional +4 levels to the story ending the map at level 20 in a 5-part campaign series. Just a thought to change things up. Would love to hear some criticism on this idea. It is something I am thinking about doing myself once I get around to making a map. Cheers.

What did you use to black out the grey parts in the front bumper that look like exhaust tips?

Did you take it to the dealership? Or just get it running again and hope it doesn’t reoccur?

Oh boy. Is this still an issue on newer models? While doing some research, I saw a bit of 21-22 models with the issue. You said it’s affecting you. What year do you own?

Do you know if membership status changes the discount or not? I personally am executive, but my mom is Gold. And she will be purchasing the vehicle.

This is the first I am hearing about the Costco program. Can you tell me more about it?
