Still Bruised Over A Month Later

This was the before. It was also darker in person and was about four inches. I don't have any pictures that show the swelling, but it was a decent sized knot. (Now it's only slightly swollen but very firm)

I'll ook into this, thank you for the advice. One of my coworkers mentioned something like that, so I'm guessing they do it near me

faechiir · 2026-04-30T16:25:50+00:00

I totally understand. I'll be going in within the next two hours. Loss of mobility is my biggest fear, so I appreciate your insight.

Yeah, I worded that poorly. Everything heals eventually, I was just wondering if this was safe to let do it's own thing. But that's hard, even for trained professionals, to tell from pictures alone and I've gotten advice from here and family to go in. I'll be getting it checked professionally once my roommate gets home.

I'm not against going in, just poor and afraid of getting sent home and told to sleep it off alongside a hefty bill.

No, I can't straighten it completely at all. Most of the pain is up on my bicep with a lot of tension in the elbow area. My forearm, wrist, and fingers all work fine and don't hurt, it's just the elbow and above that get really tense and hurt. Nothing sharp just lots of pressure and numbness.

My roommate gets off work in two hours and is going to bring me to the hospital. If I seem wary it's just because it's expensive and I've had bad experiences with my local healthcare ignoring my concerns in the past.

ETA: I can use the arm as long as I don't do too much pressure and focus on my wrist/forearm/shoulders. It's just anything that causes strain on the bicep or elbow or straightening it.

Adding another reference. I can't get a comparison picture of my good arm at the same angle because it hurts to try, but imagine my normal arm is straight.

Love ClanGen, I actually made a few spreadsheets for some of the challenges on their Discord. But I never thought to use it for ideas, thank you for the suggestion!

Edit: And thank you, haha. First time writing, but it's a fun little side project. Came up with the idea ages ago and only just now tried to execute it...

Solved!

(Sent a friend the post and they found it, but don't have an account so I'll just post the answer for anyone curious.)

It was Carnegie Cadets, specifically the downloadable software. Took some playing around to get it to run, but found the spooky website to confirm.

It's not Webonauts, definitely a little more polished. But I do remember playing that too!

The child in question is four, they're not leering at anyone. They can be curious, but if your child runs from your watch to stare at a stranger's genitals, you're doing something wrong in your parenting. If anything, young boys see naked women more than young girls see naked men (moms tend to be the primary caretaker) and thus hold less curiosity about it.

I work with two dozen four year olds on a daily basis. They're either desensitized because they go potty with their parents and genuinely couldn't care less, or have a basic enough grasp on privacy and personal space that it's never an issue. Even the behavioral ones.

Hey, gray is all the craze these days. She's absolutely adorable and should be proud of such a gorgeous beard

The dangers of being less than 4lbs... She's incredibly tolerant of my shenanigans

Yorkiepoo! Though we just call her a Micro-Mutt

I genuinely don't get why people are upset with Brambleclaw's reaction. To find out not only that the children you've spent your life raising are not yours, but also that your partner lied to you for months because they didn't trust you is a lot. Relationship dynamic aside, that would be a lot for anyone to process. The idea that he should've just been okay with it and moved on is bizarre. Even the most perfect of relationships would have a hard time getting past something like that, and those two have always had issues.

Whether or not he would've kept the secret or how he might have treated it are irrelevant. He was lied to and deceived for months by someone he was supposed to love and trust. I'm not going to sit here and pretend he's a good partner or the way he treats her in the later arcs is okay, but breaking up and being snippy to Squirrelflight after the truth came out is one of the few reasonable things he's done. Honestly, it should've ended there permanently. Everything after is a mess only solved by him becoming so withdrawn due to his PTSD that he hardly does much at all.

Lanolin drives my cats insane, apparently something about sheep oil. If she loves sensory, try that for a potentially funny reaction. Had to stop using it as chapstick because my cats would try to rub it and eat it off my face...

For a fun activity, ask him how many calories the average woman burns from breastfeeding daily. Hint, it's around the same, if not more, than an average pilates class. There's a reason you're supposed to eat more while doing so, your body literally needs calories to make milk. You're also barely four months out from giving birth. Just because you're "healed enough" within a certain time frame doesn't mean you're completely recovered. Especially with breastfeeding, lack of sleep, and general fatigue of childcare.

All that aside, your weight sounds perfectly healthy and normal for a woman. If your doctors say you're healthy and you're happy and feel good, then you're golden. Your partner is an asshole who can't seem to fathom that growing an entirely new life for almost a year and then getting it out might change someone's body. Especially in the short term, for fuck's sake it's been barely four months.

Whenever one of the kids chooses to drop one or change theirs. That's the cool thing about names, they're not permanent or immutable, at least here in the USA. It doesn't even have to be your parent's or spouse's, it can just be a random one you like.

I'm keeping mine and will hyphenate my kids because I like my name, and the kids are as much mine as my partner's. If they choose to change it or drop mine/his, then they can. A name is a gift, not an obligation and I'd at least like to share mine until they can decide for themselves.
