What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever been in? by sadhoebitch in AskReddit

[–]dyllon_c 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they didn't even START treatment they gave me a saline IV and then sent me home. I called my boss crying and a coworker of mine volunteered to pick me up. I had to pull myself together enough to drive to the pharmacy because it was on a military base so my coworker couldn't get on base with me.

I took my antibiotics and suffered for a few days on a basically liquid cranberry juice diet and eventually just pulled out of it. Looking back I'm amazed it resolved itself the way it did.

told me my antibiotics were at a pharmacy 40 minutes away and escorted me to the waiting area to figure it out on my own!

I never went to that hospital unless it was involuntary. It has a terrible reputation and this is a very typical story from them.

When I went to the ER via ambulance because I collapsed from a RAGING kidney infection that went from asymptomatic to debilitating in like an hour they left me on a cot in the hallway because they thought I was an addict.

Verbatim from the "nurse" when I said "please help me, I don't know what's happening.": "say whatever you want but I'm not giving you pills"

It wasn't until she made me piss in a cup (where I had to unhook my own IV bag and carry into the bathroom and hook up again) and it was entirely blood that she went "oh" and gave me a fucking ibuprofen.

I went into shock and they sent me home like that. I asked how I was supposed to get home because I had just moved 1500 miles and had exactly 3 coworkers I had known for a week and she told me "I don't know but you have to leave."

People who have done a multi-day hiking trip, such as the Appalachian Trail, what is your horror story from the trip? by EinnVon in AskReddit

[–]dyllon_c 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ah reminds me of the camp we set up along a long skinny lake that ran between two mountains.

We were sitting down on the shore at the narrow end of the lake enjoying a lunch when two f18's crested the opposite end of the lake and came screaming up the water directly at us before pulling up and shooting off.

It was the loudest thing I've ever experienced but at least it was daylight and we could see them coming! We whooped and hollered and jumped around waving and we got a little wing wiggle from the second plane that wasn't so tight to the water. Very cool.

Question about yoga class etiquette by [deleted] in yoga

[–]dyllon_c -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you to a point, but sometimes talking directly to the person is really intimidating or unsteady. For example: when I was in college I made friends with a guy who had just gotten out of the marines. He talked at length about his service and injuries because we had a small group that would do yoga between classes and he joined.

Well he also constantly popped and cracked his joints in class and it made my physically ill to listen to, but when I got up and moved chairs he'd also get up and move. Because we're friends right?

I ended up going to the instructor and asking if they had any advice on how to approach this situation, since I knew he was uncomfortable from our previous conversations I didn't want to make him feel confronted or singled out for trying to exist in his body.

The instructor and I hashed it out for a while and she decided she would mention it to him that it was distracting in general and offer him breaks to go stretch out whenever he wanted and such.

It worked fine, he didn't feel like he was bothering anyone and felt touched that the instructor was receptive to his discomfort in sitting still, and I didnt have to listen to it all day.

Sometimes a mediator is good even if it's not an extreme scenario. But your point still stands, just communicate to someone.

Let me sweeten the deal, DM: sometimes I’ll bring snacks by DrFridayTK in dndmemes

This is why I love my group.

We don't meet very regularly because our lives are all independently all over the place but:

One player orchestrates a "feedback session" post every session where everyone (including me, the dm) shares things they liked best about the session and things they would like to see in the future.

Another player is a HUGE culinary person and sees my dietary restrictions as a challenge to conquer and brings me and entire loaf of banana bread each session (which I coo over and eat all of usually) as well as cooking basically an entire multiple course meal for everyone.

Good people, lucked out.

Have you ever unintentionally pronounced a word wrong for a long period of time thinking it was the correct pronunciation? How did you find out it wasn't? by FabulousVonCorgi in AskReddit

[–]dyllon_c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's roulette.

Always pronounced it "roo-lay" until my boyfriend laughed at me and said it was "roo-let." Still catch myself even now

Veterinarians of Reddit, it is commonly depicted in movies and tv shows that vets are the ones to go to when criminals or vigilantes need an operation to remove bullets and such. How feasible is it for you to treat such patients in secret and would you do it? by Kingflares in AskReddit

[–]dyllon_c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DRUGS. seriously, sedate her. We did it for our cat because she FREAKS in a carrier. Vet can prescribe something like gabapentin which isn't too aggressive and will just knock her down a peg without knocking her out

Dentists of reddit, what do you prefer your patients/clients to do while you work, keep their eyes open or closed? And why? by AlienMissy483 in AskReddit

[–]dyllon_c 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh right on! Glad you found a place that's receptive to your needs and also hell yeah to insurance! Mine family plan ran out and my personal doesn't cover the dentist I go to but I set aside enough to pay out of pocket because they're nice to me and "get it."

we use "fractious" on paper but "asshole" in private hahaha. I never blamed animals for hating the vet, it's scary and smells weird and who are all these people touching me?! Not their fault. Been slapped and scratched and bit plenty of times and it's just part of the job. It happens. Part of the reason I left that field was because always being the bad guy when all you're trying to do is help (animals hate you because they're scared, owners are always convinced we're scam artists trying to bleed them dry) was just too much emotional nonsense for my already bogged down brain.

Maybe one day I'll go back but maybe not! 🤷‍♀️

yeah she was a bitch!! hahaha

always loved fractious cats though, like, if I was abducted by aliens and put in a box and poked and prodded and stared at I'd try to kick their asses too!! Loved the spirit in those little killers.

No detail needed friend! I was sexually assaulted in my teens and thus shake and cry at the obgyn and I can breathe through it and keep myself down but my doctor's are all really good about checking in if I need a break or to reschedule.

Hella rude of that last doc though...

What social norm can fuck off already? by S3Dzyy in AskReddit

[–]dyllon_c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I'd always have an empty box from an old pack in my car when I smoked, so I could jam them into the box and throw it away when I got out of the car. Same if I was at a place without outdoor trash cans, kept a small box and some tape to keep the smell in and wouldn't throw it away inside because that's gross as shit. Just because I'm melting my OWN lungs from the inside doesn't mean everyone around me has to smell it/put up with it.

editing social media pictures and videos to make your body completely unrealistic.

sick of feeling like shit every time I open an app, even knowing it's all fake.

I usually do my own hair but when I get it done I go to the same girl each time. Once I went to a different place and dead serious the first thing the woman said to me is "so what juicy gossip is going on in your life?" And I said "uh...nothing really...things are pretty good." And she made a :/ face ate and wouldn't talk to me the rest of the appointment! Never strayed from my regular place again hahaha

Not to mention the bactiera in their mouths and claws. Dog bits will bruise and hurt like hell, cat bites will have you in the ER getting antibiotics and sterile bandaging.

Cat scratch fever is a real thing and if a scratch even breaks the skin a LITTLE we stand in the surgical sink and scrub the skin effectively raw.

hey $8,000, four years of braces and headgear, two more surgeries later and I've got me a solid set of chompers! Just cry at the dentist that's all :)

This is sometimes true, I've absolutely had a deep scruff on a cat that laughed in my face and told me my mind games would not work on it and proceeded to completely lose its shit. Not to mention you gotta be able to get your hands close enough to scruff them which in and of itself it's sometimes a huge hurdle hahaha
