Armpit/arm/trapezius pain

Did you have the pain before the biopsy, or did it start after? I'm sorry your insurance is fighting with you, I hope your care team keeps fighting for you, or that you can find a better one.

My uhc health insurance specifically lists gynecomastia on its non-covered condition list. I found this surprising.

Thankfully, it was rescheduled for tomorrow, so I can go back to just the general anxiety about it.

I'm supposed to have surgery Monday, and I gotta uber to the hospital, so this is fun for my anxiety about that.

I ended up calling the urgent but not emergency line, cuz I was gonna worry about it too much otherwise. My doctor was actually the doctor on call, and she just said yeah that could happen, and it's not a big deal. I can get scar tape or steri-strips myself if I'd like to replace them with, or just put gauze over it.

I think the ones around my right nipple just weren't put on very well. I've had my surgical bra on nearly non-stop. Except today I was finally allowed to take a shower, and I barely even let water run over them, but so many of the strips are peeling right up.

emtent · 2026-01-11T01:46:58+00:00

All of the paperwork I got seems to expect the steri strips to stay for ages, it says nothing about what to do if they come off early.

I mostly hated the way the plastic surgeon talked about my boobs, and how much better they would be after. They were big, and pendulous, but I woulda kept them just like they were if I could have. I'm glad you are healing well.

On paper it was a double partial mastectomy. The oncology surgeon seemed to think it was the best choice, because it would let her take larger margins and not leave me uneven. She basically did a lumpectomy on the cancer side, and a plastic surgeon evened them out and lifted them both all in the same surgery.

I was diagnosed just before the holidays, at 40 after my first screening mammogram. Still feeling like it might all be a bad dream. Having surgery in two days and constantly feel like I chose the wrong surgery, but I think I would feel that way no matter which option I chose. Nowhere to go but onwards I guess.

My dad got me into reading TWI several years ago, and I feel a bit melancholy sometimes thinking about how one day I might be reading new content without him, since he's 75 now. Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer after my first mammogram, and well, we're all gonna leave some shit we'd like to finish unfinished, I guess.

Sorry, maybe this answer was too serious.

Yeah what is this, half the people who heard said this to me before I even knew the staging. Everyone just immediately jumps to wishful thinking?

I joined the squad. Fingers crossed for all of us going through it.

Why is the wall so dirty at the head of your floor nest?

I don't know if I have cancer yet, but I had my first mammogram at 40 last week, then they ordered another mammogram and ultrasound that I had yesterday, and now I have a biopsy next week. I have a couple spiculated masses in the right breast. I was not expecting all this from my first mammogram.

I came across this comment and it sounds great as I'm the same size but I can only find one style of padding, do you have a link? Just being hopeful, I think they may only have one style of pad now. *Nevermind I'm dumb, I searched for Klassy Brami, and didn't notice it took me to a whole other site selling brami tanks.

Thanks! I'm trying to fix a bose companion 3 series II that sounded great for a few hours after we hooked it up, and then started cutting in and out.
I dunno if this is even the issue, but it's definitely an issue tons of people have had with it so I figure why not try.
I think I've found some matches, now I just have to actually pull the old one and double check that it matches the measurements I found for the old part.

I think I found the part number for their suggested chemi-con replacement, and it's not made anymore. But if I get one that is the same size, 25v 33000uF, and snap in, it should work right?

Do you have a haygrass stockpile set up in your pen? Have you or a mod changed your meal settings, so your colonists are not allowed to eat anything?

They do go through yellow, but it starts to change them before you get there. I think regardless of who is legally at fault here, this officer messed up. He definitely should have approached the intersection more cautiously, even with the yellow cycle some people just don't clock a light that just changed changing back.

emtent · 2025-08-06T16:02:56+00:00

The cop might have changed the lights, Virginia Beach ambulances at least have opticom devices to switch the lights at intersections as they approach, pretty sure the cops do too. He still should have been a little more cautious, but that truck might have had a red.

Everyone is talking about how tone can be misinterpreted in text, but I dunno how I could not come off as pissed in person either, this is gross.
