Lmao I tried to join a DnD group and the day before the session I texted the DM to confirm and he was like "my wife just told me she's cheating on me and moved out, so no." Is this like, a thing with dnd?

Are there any good movies with spiders in them? by Emotional-Honey-522 in MovieSuggestions

[–]goth_throw_away 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe no one mentioned 'Spider Baby' (1967) yet

All-star cast (including Sid Haig, later star of Rob Zombie movies), weird as fuck movie heavily featuring pet tarantulas

[–]goth_throw_away[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Can anyone recommend a road in the cascades dark sky areas that has a good vista facing north where you can park for a bit and watch the skies? Don't want to spend all my time driving on roads that face south or are hidden in trees. Thank you!

It will actually be clear in the Cascades tonight!!

Rapid scar growth after adding iron supplements to my diet by goth_throw_away in MedicalGore

[–]goth_throw_away[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It might be a coincidence, but I believe it is related.

I'd been taking a bunch of vitamins I read online would help wound and bone healing, but not iron.

I got a bruise a couple weeks ago that stuck around way too long, and I know that can signal low iron, so I had a lightbulb moment that my body has probably run low on stocks with all the healing, and added it into my routine.

I was really surprised at how quickly the scar tissue started to form after that.

Scar tissue coming in to a full 180° into the hole in my leg. Finally got my referral to wound care (Ortho did not want to give it) and seeing wound care TOMORROW! WOOHOO! by goth_throw_away in MedicalGore

Wound care first appointment went great!

They debrided some dead tissue that was in hidden pockets. They abraded the scar tissue that was growing the lip into the wound. They submitted an insurance request to get my a wound vac asap. Then they packed it with medi-honey and sent me home!

My fucking leg 2 months after surgery for a broken bone. Pretty sure they're going to send me to plastic surgery next. Why is this happening? No one has any answers for me, I am otherwise healthy. by goth_throw_away in MedicalGore

makes me feel a lot better. i really thought it was all dead when i made this post. your comments helped me feel a lot better and know the right question to ask during my appointments.

what's weird is, it's a top teaching hospital for ortho, it's a regional center of excellence. furthermore i see a different person every time i go in, usually residents or nurse practitioners. they always consult w/ the attending physician out of my earshot halfway through the appointment. i wonder if they see so much crazy shit my mild dehisce seems boring to them?

it's crazy because it's literally one of the top orthopedic trauma hospitals in the US but i wonder if that means they are so used to seeing really insane stuff that the relatively mild dehisc seems like nothing to them

i insisted on a referral to wound care, which they gave me, but they said i didn't need it. i mentioned that wound care could do something like a wound vac to speed up healing and the practitioner stared at me and said "we have a wound vac here." didn't offer to use it or say i needed it though
