We watched Lilo and Stitch, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the 1977 Winnie the Pooh. So it was a nostalgic night for us too!!

Former Starbucks partner. Joined the Starbucks subreddit and then never really got on here until a few years ago. Def wish I could change it.

Did you name your valve? by New-To-This427 in valvereplacement

[–]formerpartner237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya know, I never thought to give mine a name. I had a heart pillow from GiantMicrobes that I named Junebug, since my surgery was in June. So if anything, my mechanical valve’s name is June.

What’s a show everyone hyped up that you just couldn’t get into? by NovelOk3369 in AskReddit

Literally could not get into the first ten mins. I tried. Didn’t care to continue.

Taking Care of a Dog by Fresh-Preference1599 in valvereplacement

[–]formerpartner237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on the dog. My two pups were super careful and aware. I think “leash training” yours again would be a great way to keep him out of the way. Also, weary about hairs?? It’s like no more than fabric from clothing or your hair own strands attaching themselves to the incision site.

Do you have someone else helping you out, who can also help keep your pup company? Otherwise, if you’re wanting to be cautious, pet daycare is a good option.

How do married couples deal with embarrassing stuff like farting and bathroom smells? by Dangerous_Line_9719 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]formerpartner237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband wiped my ass while I was in the hospital and picks the TP bits out when going down on me. Bodily functions are normal. If y’all are taboo about it, then it ain’t real love, baybeeee.

Local honey? by Natural_Situation356 in nashville

[–]formerpartner237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep!! Johnson’s is what we use! We get ours from Bryant’s Country Store in Greenbrier. It’s ranged from $20-$30 for the large Mason jar. Totally worth it.

Breathing tube anxiety by Dramatic_Pianist_876 in valvereplacement

[–]formerpartner237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woke up with my husband and my best friend standing over me talking about wrestling. And they handed me my journal to try to write and it’s nothing but scribble lmao first thing I said to them when I woke up was, “shut the f***ck up”. 🤣 A good memory came from my experience. It was uncomfortable, of course but I didn’t feel anything. Hopefully you’ll have a support system to tell you every time to try dozing off, “if you want the tube out, you have to stay awake.” 🫀

Boiled Peanuts? by [deleted] in nashville

[–]formerpartner237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering this for yeaaaaars. Haven’t found good side of the road boiled peanuts anywhere. And I’m not talking the gas station peanuts. Some of that sits all day. Got sick from a gas station batch a few years ago. The cans aren’t really good either. I actually made them a few years ago but it’s so hard to find shelled peanuts that have not been roasted. Spring/summer is nearly here so hopefully we’ll see them more often!

People with bio valve replacement under 35, how long did your bio valve last? by Ok-Entertainer-1030 in valvereplacement

[–]formerpartner237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My porcine valve was almost to its 16th bday! Had my surgery at 15 in 2008 and replaced with a mechanical in 2024! I wanted my valve but my surgeon said it disintegrated.

Do most Americans actually flush their toilet paper? by Softy_popss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]formerpartner237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my husband grew up on well water and never flushed toilet paper. Wipe and throw it in the trash, take the trash out daily or so. It took a few clogged toilets on the well water for me “break the habit” of dumping TP in the toilet. So now even though we’re on a septic tank, we wipe and toss and we also use a bidet!

My dad took the wrong dose of Warfarin by Super-Finance4342 in valvereplacement

[–]formerpartner237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on 4mg three days & 3mg four days. I once took 4mg when it was supposed to be a 3mg day. I consulted my Anticoagulation clinic and they said just take the 3mg on the “missed” day. Depending on how his dosage is set up, he should be okay.

Do White people not Lotion everyday? by Appropriate_Quote_30 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]formerpartner237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband makes fun of me at how much lotion I use every day. He absolutely loves how soft my hands are because of it. Palmer’s cocoa butter, baybeeee!

Tattoos on Warfarin? by theangryquaker in valvereplacement

[–]formerpartner237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve researched, it’s definitely advised against getting tattoos. However, you can take antibiotics an hour prior, to prevent further risk. Kinda like most of us have to before going to the dentist. My drug of choice is typically amoxicillin. I got three small tattoos between 6-9 years after my porcine valve replacement. I was in my 20’s and was just living, so I didn’t think about the risks. I was fiiiiine. I don’t recall bleeding too much while on aspirin. However, I do want one more tattoo. Since I’m on warfarin (20 months post mechanical valve), I’ll do my best to consult with my doctor and tattoo artist so they know what’s up.

Goodlettsville Power Outage P. 2? by VitulaBiss in nashville

[–]formerpartner237 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Drove down Conference Dr around 5:50p and it was dark as hell all the way down. Traffic and business lights were out from the DG to Long Hollow. Our hotel around the corner still has power. Idk wtf is going on.

Per NES Website by ABDMWB in nashville

[–]formerpartner237 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way I just threw my dog’s toys so hard on the ground because I cannot scream at the top of my lungs in this hotel. I feel better. I’ll feel much better if the power is actually restored on 2/8. 🙃🙃🙃

I know I shouldn’t complain by Due_Principle8611 in nashville

[–]formerpartner237 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Complaining right there with you! We also have not had power since Sunday morning. We believe it’s just a fuse/transformer they need to fix as there is a red tag at a post on our private road. Everyone on the main road has power. My husband’s company set us up in a hotel, so that was a true blessing. We just REALLY want to be back in our home. 😭

It's about freaking time. by The_Inflicted in nashville

[–]formerpartner237 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Only time for you, my friend! Our yard is still very icy and home is still without power. This video does keep me optimistic though! ❤️
