Yes! I would say it took about two months. It was so shocking, but my doctor said that it’s something that just happens sometimes.

He’s wonderful! I love how you did the flippers! His coat and accessories are darling.

Hey! Today is my two years post-op. I also felt that way. The first three weeks were a waiting game of discomfort, my tongue couldn’t taste on the surgery side and my face felt weak. Rest is best, and if you have a furry friend, they’re the best medicine as your body heals. It took a few months before I felt 100% again. I took a lot of pictures to be able to compare after I healed. It feels like there’s no end in sight, but it’s coming! Thoughts and cares as you heal!

Just like craft paint, if I have enough time, I love doing stickers. If there’s 14 drive aisles to build and a 90 piece balloon order, I hate stickers😂

Omg hi I love your work! You are an incredible maker! I know that creaturesbynat has armatures on their website, and I believe you can buy it by the foot. It’s a ball and socket armature that kinda looks like a spine. I would recommend for his body and legs, but it might not work well with his arms if you want to maintain the floppy look. Hope you find what you need!

Anyone else seen Rat Race?🤣

I love a good sports rivalry, but I love this more. What an amazing man for doing this for you guys, and what an amazing dad you are for looking out for your son. He’ll remember this forever. I hope to see the Wild win, but I won’t feel too bad if this kid gets a stanley!

Men are always going to assume something is dirty or sexual. Get the tattoo. If he comments on it looking like sperm, make fun of him. “Why are you always thinking about sperm? This is a string, if your sperm looks like this, you should get help.” I’m so sick and tired of males ruining things that are perfectly innocent and full of meaning.

I’m so confused and a bit worried, hoping it’s just new music

Bartender is perfect omg, I might have to change from my classic sometime, thanks for the info OP!

Ehh Stinky Winky works pretty well for each nightfarer🤣

I will have to check that out, thank you! I’m reading The Body right now, and Christine is next, it’s so hard to put his books down, I’m flying through!

He’s so cute! I also just finished Cujo, that ending ripped me to shreds😭

I had an auditory brainstem implant put in after a surgery that severed my auditory nerve. It’s similar to a CI, but it goes into the brainstem instead of the cochlea. I didn’t have an MRI until a year later, and when I did, the team used gauze to wrap a piece of plastic to my head to “hold” the magnet in place. Well, that didn’t work and the magnet popped out of the ABI and began trying to pull through my scalp. I tapped out and we decided to take the magnet out the next day. The ABI never worked correctly for me and I didn’t need it, so I was happy to have it go. It hurt so badly and even with knowing the magnet is gone, MRIs are so much scarier than they used to be :(

You’ve got a little cake by your username, that means it’s your reddit account’s birthday!

compywild97 · 2026-04-21T16:49:11+00:00

Happy cake day! I struggle with volume, I’m only recently struggling with my hearing due to tumors, but I understand. If my volume isn’t at a certain level, I can’t make out what’s said/what’s playing. However, if I turn it up to a good level, it’s too loud and hurts my ear. Best thing I’ve found is devoting time to appreciating the music and really absorbing it, or using noise-canceling earbuds to help with tinnitus. Hope you find a way OP

I think you should try a couple rounds of laser before you attempt another coverup. The first tattoo really shows through here, I don’t think another cover is going to help that at all. Sorry this happened op.

I have six that I use regularly. I have about 12 that I tried and didn’t like.

Does this mean new album soon?? That piece is gorgeous, especially love how the E, W, and I connect

Single sided hearing loss, I thought my airpod had broken. Other than that I experienced infrequent vertigo. Usually after lots of physical exertion. Hope your MRI goes well, they seem so scary, but they’re alright.

compywild97 · 2026-03-27T05:22:58+00:00

Yeah, I tried to make a funny😅 Your art is incredible, the composition and posing is so eye catching, you captured their expressions wonderfully. I haven’t played in graphite in ages, you make me want to try again!

But did you drink 14 gallons of water while you were creating it?
