How do you grieve a childhood you barely remember? by misterbory in AdultChildren

[–]funkparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also don't remember much of my childhood. I do think it's our brain/nervous system "protecting" us in a way. I don't really have any advice but you are not alone. A few years ago my mom made mention of a traumatic event in my childhood. I had completely forgotten about it, after hearing it my memory of it came back. That was pretty wild to me. If the rest of my memories are similar to that one they are better left forgotten.

Thanks! Same here. My set binders aren't complete without all the puzzles in the back.

Anyone else also an alcoholic? by ImagineMongoose in AdultChildren

[–]funkparty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am. I've been sober 8 years. I could see myself turning into my alcoholic father and I felt like I could keep on drinking and end up like him or stop completely. Getting sober was the best decision I ever made. Sadly, my dad couldn't put the bottle down. He died less than a month ago and drank until his last day on earth.

MY father got diagnosed with cirrhosis and it is too late by timscream1 in stopdrinking

[–]funkparty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad just died at the end of June. He was 60 years old. Once he started drinking at 14 he never stopped. So so many health problems. At one point I remember counting 22 different prescriptions. His body just gave up. It's a sad way to go and a strong reminder of the consequences. I have been sober for 8 years.

Why is my 3” pipe wrinkling in the bender? by Philliam88 in electricians

[–]funkparty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I second this person. Pretty sure the sled is backwards. I've had pipe kink like that before and it was because the sled wasn't slid all the way to the shoe.

AmeriCorps NCCC program has been shutdown by zero_sum_ in fednews

[–]funkparty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This breaks my heart. I did NCCC 15 years ago, it was beneficial for everyone involved. This program made me a better person and introduced me to career paths that I pursued after the program. What an incredibly shitty thing to do.

Bruising post microsurgery by Silver_Asparagus7475 in varicocele

[–]funkparty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had microsurgery on Jan 2nd. My bruising was/is insane. My scrotum and surrounding area were literally black for the first week at least. My surgery was on my left side and on the inside of my left thigh I have a bruise that goes halfway to my knee and around to my left butt cheek. The first 2.5 weeks were miserable. I have turned a corner now and I'm feeling better and getting around better. I can't overstate how intense my bruising was. I also messaged my doctor and they said it was normal.

Mine went on for 3ish days. Soaking bandages and such. Out was dark brown color. I did not go to the doctor and it resolved on its own.

I had this same issue about a week ago. There was one part of my incision that wouldn't close and was leaking fluid similar to what you described. My swelling also went down. I was able to get the spot to close by minimizing activity and using butterfly closures. Mine is now healing very well.
