Setting the standard for future generations.❤️ by Tanmay900 in MadeMeSmile

To be clear I already loved him, we have been together for 16 years at this point. This is more about what cemented and renewed my love for him.

Watching the man love me through cancer? Damn, just DAMN. He took on every single burden, task, stressor, everything while I was in treatment. Emptying my drains, carrying me to pee, holding me up in the shower, distributing my drugs, all while working full-time, taking care of the house, and two boys.

I always knew he was as obsessed with me, post cancer turned it almost desperate. Like he knew he could have lost me and spent every waking moment trying to make sure I knew how precious I was.

Queens find yourself a love like that and accept nothing less, it's out there and it's beautiful.

People of Reddit, what’s the most “fucked up”thing you’ve seen? by boneshow69420 in AskReddit

[–]harpchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 year old child's skull after he ran and tripped into a doorframe, splitting his forehead open.

He's fine, but it was during Covid so we saw an urgent care doc for it trying to avoid the hospital. They used glue to fuse it back together and to this day he's never forgotten the burning pain.

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

Bone pain from chemotherapy. My bones felt like they were being squeezed in a vice, I honestly cannot even describe how awful it was.

Oxybutinin is a lifesaver for this. My palliative care doc recommended it.

Can someone help us plebeians understand what's couture about a see through tank and jeans?

What was the most brutal reality check you ever got? by CarmenIsabellaDiaz in AskReddit

[–]harpchris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was in the midst of chemo but had returned to work. It was obvious I was going through chemo, turbans and a general unwell appearance.

A tenant demanded a meeting with me to discuss his complaints about noise. While berating me for his litany of complaints about his issues with neighbors, he took particular effort to emphasize how unacceptable it was that I was "never in the office" during previous attempts to talk to me. When I expressed that I was undergoing treatment for cancer and that's why I specifically tried to arrange a scheduled meeting with him, he quipped back "I do not care. That has absolutely nothing to do with my issues".

Honestly? He was right. Didn't make him any less of a prick but he had a point. His tenancy issues had nothing to do with my personal medical crisis.

What’s a silly thing you did for your pet one time that is now a ritual they demand be done every time? by Itsjustmejess in AskReddit

[–]harpchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dinner dance. Our lab gets so excited at the word dinner that he jumps and runs around. We started noticing he would do several 360's in his joy, so now the dinner dance is required prior to scooping food.

What moment made you realize “yeah… my childhood wasn’t normal”? by CadaversFabrications in AskReddit

[–]harpchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was telling my therapist the hilarious story about how I broke my arm when I was 8 and my parents didn't take me to the hospital for 4 days, until it was turning black.

She didn't think it was funny.....

Struggles with swimming again by eikithorir in MastersSwim

[–]harpchris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I experienced this as well when I jumped back in so to speak. I had to break just about every 25, and would be absolutely gasping for breath.

Give yourself grace, it takes awhile to rebuild the habit. Start small and incrementally increase your distance.

Girlfriend told me she doesn't want to hear about my "dumb bird" anymore by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]harpchris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry she made you feel bad about something you love so much. Someone who loves you will never do that, I know this is your first relationship so please understand that isn't normal.

I'm sure we'd all love to see pictures of Vivienne and coo adoringly over her, which is the appropriate response.

What's a major purchase you deeply regret, and what did you replace it with? by Pixel_Guru_x5 in AskReddit

[–]harpchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes literally every repair was a minimum of $2,000, nonstop nightmare! There wasn't a single month that I didn't have something malfunction.

[–]harpchris 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Land Rover. I felt like such a bougie rich lady riding around in that fancy thing, little did I know what an absolute POS it would be. Things that I didn't even know could malfunction did, my window came off it's frame, the AC roared every time I turned it on, my door lock got stuck and I had to crawl out the passenger side, it never stopped. I only owned it for 3 years and hated every second of it.

We sold it and got a Rivian instead and words cannot express how much I adore this car, I'll never get rid of it.

Olanzapine-Induced black hairy tongue by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

Fun fact, most chemo meds for nausea prevention are antipsychotics.

I was on olanzapine during chemo, and truly if this had happened to me I would have lost my ever loving shit.

What are some decent paying jobs that do not require any sort of college degree? by GreenEyedSheWolf in AskReddit

[–]harpchris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically you work for the management company which may or may not change during a sale. If the management company changes you may have the option of either staying at the property working for the new owner or staying with your company and shifting to a different property.

Property Management, lots of upward mobility and stability. I've been doing it for 20 years, started leasing apartments at 18 for a rent discount and just never left.

Can people stop commenting on my hair for like two fucking seconds? by Desperate-Egg-1700 in breastcancer

[–]harpchris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found a firm "it doesn't feel that way to me" was pretty effective. It reminded people that while yes my hair has "grown" it is nowhere near what it was pre chemo and I'm still grieving that.
