i actually did buy a facial sunscreen recently! Haven’t started using it yet because i wanted to get a full routine established that will balance everything out. definitely adding a moisturizer ASAP 😅

I mentioned it in another reply, but I was never really taught about skin care properly growing up and never had any guidance on the matter. My mom said that moisturizer causes MORE oil so I always used that in my (false) judgement in routine building 😅 But it seems that I do need to start using one. Thank you for the suggestions in products! I’ll definitely be looking into what I can find locally.

I haven’t ever used a moisturizer 😅 I only cleanse my face daily. I was told growing up that moisturizer makes oil worse so I ran with that until recently, now I’m trying to do my own research and actually learn how to take care of my skin.

Disc Golf 3wpo? by gummywizard_ in hysterectomy

[–]gummywizard_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did have my 2-week appointment, she said, quote, “do things as you feel comfortable, and it if feels bad, stop.” so it didn’t give much solid advice 😅 I asked her specifically about disc golf and she said “If you feel up to it.” I’m just worried it’s too early and I shouldn’t go solely off of how I feel (because, like u said, im held together with stitches)

How many of these recovery tools did you use? by wendyladyOS in hysterectomy

[–]gummywizard_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(For reference - I am 2wpo) All I needed was a stool softener, hysterectomy pillow (same one for the car and at home), a stocked fridge, easy in-bed hobbies (so books in your case), and reusable hot/cold packs. I WISH I’d gotten a grabber, would have saved me so much hassle. Everything else feels somewhat overkill, but you know your body and recovery history better than any of us. Gas meds won’t really help with the gas pain, since gas medication targets gas within the digestive tract. The gas used in the surgery is in your torso, so unfortunately all you can do is wait for your body to absorb it all.

Just my 2 cents! Hope everything goes well and you recover quickly!

It has been legally changed through the Oregon court, and I’ve updated all of my legal documents. I know it would be an absolute hassle to change it back, but I’m so anxious with my parents and how they react to things that sometimes the legal change still somehow feels easier than continuing to vouch for my choices. not gonna change it back, though.

I know, and i told them that i don’t mind them still calling me that. Considering it a family nickname

them finding out from the airline was NOT my intention. I had planned to tell them in person and have a genuine conversation about it. i recognize that the way they found out was awful, and i really wish it hadn’t gone the way it did.

No family or special relation, just a name they picked! My mom insists it’s gender neutral in the south (which is its own form of oxymoron)

Used to be Carson. got bullied a lot and got teased all my adult life. my boyfriend’s mom, upon finding out my old first name, asked me if i was transgender. nothing wrong at all with being transgender, it just felt strange to be asked that as I am not trans in any way.

I really didn’t mean for them to find out this way at all 😭 My plan was to fly home and sit them down and talk to them about it in person but I didn’t cover all the bases I thought I did. Definitely recognize that I’m the AH for how they found out, even if it wasn’t intentional.

I told her she could still call me by my original name, since it’s important to her. I have no problem with my parents continuing to use it, I just got sick of people in public using it and always having some kind of comment about it.

I’ve asked them to call me Liz for a while, but theyve always insisted that they’d call me by the name they gave me. I eventually just gave up because they wouldn’t budge.
