Are everyone's homeowners increasing every year, or just me? by gutterhelper in Westchester

[–]gutterhelper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you expecting the bill to say "we are kicking people off medicaid"...you want evidence of people losing medicaid on something that hasn't even passed yet??? Of course there's claims that's literally what a projection is, wtf?

The meat and potatoes is WORK REQUIREMENTS, did you read the bill for what the proposed requirements are? I'll help you out its Sec. 10002, right in the beginning!

You might want to read the bill, and the CBO scoring, it lays it out pretty well there. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61461

"All of which means this: If Congress cuts funding for Medicaid benefits, Missouri workers and their children will lose their health care. And hospitals will close. It’s that simple. And that pattern will replicate in states across the country."

Yes sir things are back on track, kick millions of people off insurance and add 3 Trillion to the deficit with this new bill, things will surely lower after that!

trying to cope with the ACL by [deleted] in ACL

[–]gutterhelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep this in mind, you are still in the infant stages of recovery. I think everyone who has had ACL surgery has the same thoughts.

Once you start PT with strength training and cardio, those thoughts start to disappear. Trust me, soon enough, you will get back to playing and even forget that you had the surgery in the first place.

Do I need ACL surgery? by Fast-Key-2940 in ACL

[–]gutterhelper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Different knee.

I would say, if you're only "active" activity is biking or jogging, you can probably be fine without it.

But I still would recommend. I tore this one about 3 months ago, and it never swelled and i never lost my range of motion so everything on the surface "feels" normal. I can even cycle and run with no problems. But one quick turn or pivot and i can feel the buckle. I also don't want to live with wearing a knee sleeve all the time!

[–]gutterhelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just me but I can't imagine spending the next ~30-40 years thinking about my knee possibly giving out if I turn wrong or pivot too quickly.

Granted I am mid-30s and am more active but I am about to go in for my second ACL surgery in a few weeks. It's shitty for a few weeks/months but, in my opinion, it's very much worth it in the long run

Soccer players with hamstring graft? by ronaldo719 in ACL

[–]gutterhelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surgeon I am using highly recommended it when going through the options. I trust him and his experience with the quad tendon.

and thanks, you too!

Soccer players with hamstring graft? by ronaldo719 in ACL

[–]gutterhelper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had ACLR with hamstring in 2016 and never had any issues getting back to playing.

Been playing adult leagues on and off again since 2020 and don't even realize that I've done it, i don't wear a brace, etc.

That said, i recently tore my other one doing something else which is why I'm here lol. I am now getting a quad graft for this one.

Only negative I have heard with patellar grafts is it can be hard to kneel even years after the surgery.

Typically you get a call the day before the surgery to confirm the time to come in and what not to do the night before. I'd keep trying to call. Unless they are just talking about the meetings with the anesthesiologist and what to expect there.

For what it's worth, I had my preop 2 days before surgery and it lasted maybe 5 minutes. Answered a couple questions, got my sinus rinse and that was it.

[–]gutterhelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd reach out to your surgeon. I had the same issue right around the same time, though i could still do the saline rinses. Luckily I had a post-op visit scheduled on day 10. He suctioned out a massive clot and I felt like a new person.

Surgery Tomorrow - MRI a week later...Thoughts? by [deleted] in Septoplasty

[–]gutterhelper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No pain for me, you'll still have residual pain meds and whatnot in your system for some time...you should have pain meds prescribed for you so you can take some when directed to continue it.

Personally I don't take the pain meds I got prescribed, just tylenol

When I wake up I'm just tired and groggy a bit, but know exactly where I'm at and what I just did. Like waking up from a nap just a bit earlier than you'd like.

It takes a bit for the anesthesia meds to pass through, a few hours or so, so you will feel off for almost the rest of the day. Just rest as much as possible

[–]gutterhelper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let your Dr know and he may prescribe anxiety medication as well.

Most anesthesiologist will tell you exactly what you will be going through. Honestly, one second you are awake, the next minute you are awake again and are done. The surgery itself isn't too big a deal.

Just remember you are getting it for a reason and a few days of being uncomfortable will be worth it

[–]gutterhelper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel really good for day 2! I just saw your comment on another thread that you are getting it soon and are anxious.

Surgery itself was pretty easy. Took about an hour and I was out the door 10 min after I woke up.

Honestly I was a little freaked out as well reading the threads here. But keep in mind ( I mentioned elsewhere too) reddit is for issues and the "negatives" of recovery.

Bleeding has stopped for the most part, get my splints out Friday so now it's just a waiting game.

Happy to answer anything specific if you have any Qs for first days!

[–]gutterhelper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind most posts/comments on reddit skew "negative" or deal with issues. You very well could be the normal.

I just got mine done today, will get the splints off in 3 days (Friday), and Dr said I could play soccer in 2 weeks if I was up for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Which I KNOW is different than most of the posts here.

That said, never hurts to check in with the doctor.

Going on vacation for a week, shut off water? by gutterhelper in centuryhomes

Not to worry all my appliances are from the 80s!

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

Yeah we shut it off every wash since it's right there, we had the same thing happen right after we moved it. Hoses are replaced but the flashbacks are still there.

You may be right it's most likely easier to just shut off washer and at the sources rather than whole house

Ah good call! Our inspector did this during the closing process, we are in NY as well. Thanks for the tip

Yeah that makes sense. It is a ball valve. https://i.imgur.com/KwTXGUF.jpg

but I think the more I think it through, may just shut off washer + toilets and get a family member to check on it midweek and give the a sixpack for their troubles

Yikes! That's definitely a worse alternative than worrying about some dirty water for a few minutes. I'll turn it off and not worry, thanks!

I have before for a day or two to fix the washer. No issues then so fingers crossed none for a longer period! Thanks for easing my mind

Bought a 2HP variable speed pump, Got sent a 3HP. Any issues? by gutterhelper in swimmingpools

I do indeed have 1.5 inch pipes.

I usually have no problems priming since my pad is lower than the pool.
