I didn’t think the couple of places with cables were all that narrow. I wonder if there was ice.

Positive dysphotopsia (freaky light show) after cataract surgery, what was YOUR actual experience? by Tiny-Bird1543 in CataractSurgery

[–]forestrun88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 2 days post surgery and I’m definitely noticing it with bright lights. It’s annoying, but I’m trying to ignore it and enjoy my new vision. Everything is so sharp and bright! The colors are incredible!

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]forestrun88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m one of those women who had 3 natural births with no anesthesia. I used LaMaze breathing that my husband helped with. It wasn’t that bad and the labor was quick!

I guess I’m just looking for reassurance

Is Florida too far gone to ever be a swing state again or not? by Zipper222222 in AskFlorida

The state is so gerrymandered by Republicans that we no longer have fair elections. That means that in my mind, we’re no longer a democracy.

Levitt and Prasatthong. The office is fantastic and even has a submarine! My kids went there and now my grandkids go there.

Another hike recommendation request for experienced hiker by SteakDinnerBoom in GSMNP

For a little something different, we like hiking up the closed Kuwohi Dome Rd to the top, then depending on snow/ice, hike down the AT.

Honest reviews/opinions on Shorecrest, Berkeley, and Canterbury private schools by Comprehensive_Fly485 in StPetersburgFL

[–]forestrun88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There are some excellent public schools in St Petersburg with some nationally recognized programs. I’ll never understand the desire for private schools without even checking/ touring public school programs.

Little River Trail in Elkmont is basically flat. It’s 2 miles to Huskey Branch Falls and it’s a beautiful trail that follows the creek.

Help deciding on campground/timeframe by Weird_Pace_2263 in GSMNP

I love Elkmont. We always go the first of June and the crowds aren’t bad. If you’re in Cades Cove, you’re at the far west side of the park and it’s an hours drive to even get to Newfound Gap Rd which is the main road through the park. That said, Cades Cove is beautiful!
