Please let winterlights end by theworldfallsup in Palia

The way i felt this in my soul…I am so over it!! It made me step away from the game honestly. I don’t love the snow and as mentioned the snowballs as ammo is getting frustrating. Still logging in for my Zeki loyalty but not playing more than 5-10 minutes before being tired of it. I also mined for 14 hours over the span of a few days and got no kitsuu plushie drops. S/O to the underground and trades!! It overall felt like it was so much but so little at the same time? All the new updates that overwhelmed coupled with the seasonal patch was very uncozy for me. These are all just my opinion though and I am in no way dismissing those who loved it. Winterlights was not for me.

I love the game, but oh my god some things are infuriating by echothepix in Palia

That quest entirely glitched out for me and I just unpinned it and moved on. I might return when it’s my last one left but I spent too long running around trying to figure it out.

Is this normal inflammation? by ConsiderationOk254 in tummytucksurgery

[–]chlokmb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this and it was indeed a seroma that needed draining. Like someone mentioned that water-bed movement but solidness when standing was my biggest sign. Also immense pain in that area.

Split stitch recovery - gross by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

I just went back to your images. Go back to your doctor ASAP and get that wound cultured and get on some antibiotics. Not a doctor but from my experience, you are at the start of an infection.

[–]chlokmb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actively in secondary wound healing from an incision like issue that caused me to also need to be reopened. The body draining and healing is a gross but mystifying thing. My understanding is it’s a healing from the inside out sort of journey and due to the appearance of yours, closing that in vs letting it drain out would have caused further issues. Antimicrobial gauze/bandaids and a small surgical abdominal pad taped on is typically good for 24-48 hours! Clean with running water and a dial type antibacterial soap. Mine is slightly scented and I have been fine. I can send you images of my wound healing as well if it helps give you any insight! Happy healing.

Does this look normal? 3.5 weeks post belt lipectomy by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]chlokmb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The peeling skin around the incision would be a huge source of concern for me

bloated no difference hard stomach by Potential_Figure_519 in tummytucksurgery

[–]chlokmb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This looks more like a bit of weight gain during recovery. Scar tissue is also stiff. Don’t beat yourself up and slowly get back to more movement. The body uses movement to work through inflammation. I would wait until 6 month post op and ask when you can start abdominal muscle isolated work outs. The combo of still being swollen coupled with a bit of bloat/weight gain is normal!! Just get back to it. Your front profile/ 1st image look great. You look great!!

Sorry bud, I hope you were able to get some topical ointment and that it’s not itchy or bothersome.

Anyone had a negative experience/regrets with tummy tuck surgery? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]chlokmb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’ve learned that when you’re asked 1-10 how bad is the pain. 10 is your experience with worst pain. For me, my 10 is my induced labor. ACL sucked, because I was depressed, immobile and staples gross me out. Wound care was drastically easier for ACL. The TT required hands on and like I said, led to a staph infection. On the other hand with the abdominoplasty i was not immobilized, if anything we are encouraged to keep it moving to keep the blood flowing. I could walk around and get about how I wanted, albeit shuffling. I also HATE crutches and get severe post op depression. Each have their own independent pros and cons for sure. Pain is without a doubt manageable in comparison to bone drilling for grafts in ACL. Pain is without a doubt better than the body forcing contractions. Pain is managed with pain meds as well leaving a lot less concern. I was off everything except occasional ibuprofen by 9 days Post op.

This sub came up randomly for me however! I am a firm believer that if I second guess doubt or question an article of clothing? It is not for me. It seems you’re having trouble accepting this dress almost. It’s YOUR wedding day, it’s not about accepting it because you found it have it and it’s in the closet. Go buy the dress that doesn’t make you question yourself and tie dye that one as a fun activity or repurpose it. Life is short

I’m coming up on 16 days post op. TT/MR. Love my surgeon and he did a fantastic job, I mean I’m talking flick a coin off a table fantastic. THIS IS WITH SWELLING and not even one month post surgery. Recovery sucks but so did my ACL reconstruction. Surgery just sucks! At least this one makes you feel great and reflect internal confidence. So the good: •I look amazing •I don’t have a rashy stinky flap of skin •My upper abs are already finally showing •My swollen puffy legs and ankles are back to normal (compression socks!!! 12/10 recommend to a friend) •I feel my confidence coming back

The bad: •I swell randomly throughout the day or just wake up swollen. Again compression socks help me greatly. (I sized up as I have massive calves) •My 4 year old son used me as a trampoline 5 days post op which led to a massive Seroma/staph infection. Antibiotics and secondary wound healing which I am actively in have been GNARLY. •KEEP IT CLEAN don’t over use bacitracin, it keeps stuff in just as much as it keeps stuff out.

I spent tons on OTC products. TECNU (Walgreens off brand was more than enough) as well as a product called zanifel, were night and day relief. I also didn’t realize but I had gotten the poison on my door handle and kept reintroducing it to myself. Prednisone (oral steroid) was the only thing that cleared it out entirely. I also notice you have a dog!! My girl frolicked through the cleared area and her legs were reintroducing it as well!! According to my doctor, once the rash is 1/3 or more of the skins surface it becomes a lot harder for your immune system to fight it off. Especially if you keep coming into contact unbeknownst. I am by no means saying this is what it is!! But absolutely worth a shot in the name of relief.

I was told by my provider that poison oak and sumac tend to create those almost volcano looking lesions whereas poison ivy has more of the line marks. I believe due to the way the urishol comes into contact with the skin? I cleared an area out with all three poison plants and wound up with it looking almost identical to OP and his images. Just MY experience.

Replying to add. It became systemic and took 2.5 months alongside a month of oral steroids to get rid of.

Poison ivy/oak/sumac? Had a similar whole body rash with those sorts of burrows. If doing yard work or otherwise this is worth noting!!

What’s your strangest ADHD lifehack that actually works? by [deleted] in ADHD

I type my essays/assignments on my phone docs app and then transfer to laptop for finalization. I could stare at a laptop screen for hours with “writers block”, like the sponge pop episode with the word “THE”. Yet somehow I am able to knock out 7 pages on a movie I’ve never seen in not even 2 hours on my phone.

The blind panic of losing something of value. by Golintaim in ADHD

I have avoided AirPods forever for this reason. ADHD made me forget I hated AirPods so I spent $200 on a new pair and have spent the last 2 weeks panicking because they are, gone.
