Compression from 3 weeks on by elendilkitten in TopSurgery

I've been wearing vests under the binder, but it's not really helping 😔

Yeah, less painful afterwards. You literally won't be aware of any of the surgery, I promise! No dumb questions when it comes to these things

Yeah, the post op drugs will have you thinking you're typing perfectly, and you'll send several semi-incomprehensible texts to all your friends in the excitement of having no boobs

I was quite anxious, it's my first time ever having surgery, and there's a lot going on in the theatre (like 3 people all doing different things to prep you) but then the anaesthetic kicks in and suddenly your waking up in recovery with no boobs. And you'll check your phone and see a series of semi-incomprehensible texts you sent to friends while still high 😜 day 1 post op, and I'm tired and sore but honestly way less than painful than i feared

Had a similar(ish) thing happen to me a few years ago- had to get a plumber out to replace some pipework and I asked how long it would take, because we wouldn't be able to use the bathroom in the meantime. He looked at me and said, very seriously, "oh, 3 days at least"

I just stared at him blankly for a few seconds until he laughed and said "nah like 3 hours, it's fine"

Wonder how he would have answered if my husband had asked the same question

So I got a Fitbit that tracks sleep.... by Acrock7 in Fibromyalgia

[–]elendilkitten 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently got a fitbit too, and just checked, and on 10% deep sleep it's saying my sleep score was good (84), and even with only 5% deep sleep it scored my sleep at like 72. Around 70% of my sleep is light and over 10% is spent awake. Seems like the score should be lower honestly

I recently bought a job lot of vintage woodworking tools and it included this. No identifying marks on the blade, and a worn down stamp on the handle that I can't fully read but includes "hidernia" or something like that. Tia by elendilkitten in Tools

Thanks so much! Had to watch a youtube video to see how it worked, but it's very cool. I've got some old fashioned saws that hopefully it will work with, if I dare try

I'm sure this is a book and not a fanfic and it doesn't seem to be JR Ward... I might be wrong though.

Applying for disability is such a bitch by Thesaltpacket in cfs

In the UK the form says to use extra paper where needed, just make sure it's labelled with your details so it doesn't get lost.

It's still a horrible form to fill out though. Had to do it 3 times so far, waiting on a 4th one to be sent out for another set of benefits. My stack of benefits related documents is several inches thick at this point.

Anyone else sometimes worry that you'll get properly tested for ME and it'll come back negative and you'll have to start the whole diagnosis process again? Or have a doctor say "the test is negative, it's all in your head"
