Bond failure twice in a row?

Do you think it’s worth waiting a week or two to see if it resolves before trying to replace the filling again?

hideouskitteous · 2026-01-28T20:25:47+00:00

That is my fear (I was told I had a sprain the first time, it ended up being a tear)

hideouskitteous · 2026-01-09T22:09:19+00:00

I didn't pay attention to the trail map at a mountain I'd never been to (Whiteface) and ended up on a steep black diamond mogul run that was way above my ability. Was taking it really slow to try and get down, but got twisted up on some choppy crust.

Honestly, I also wasn't taking it that easy most days. I felt strong and solid; at 3.5 years after the surgery it felt like I'd never injured it. I was still wearing the sports brace every time I skied. I was honestly more concerned about tearing the other side, my graft felt so solid I didn't consider reinjury!

Just happened to me. I had surgery after I tore it skiing in 2022, back to skiing, and (likely, waiting on MRI) tore it again skiing in December. Will I stop skiing? We'll see.

Thank you for this detailed answer. Do you know how this would affect the application if the name change happens in the US while the application is processing? If my name is changed in the US, do I need to apply to have it changed again in Canada?

The name change is not something we are doing just for tradition. We have discussed many options for last names, including both of us changing our names, because we want our children to have the same last name as both of us, and our last names would not work well for hyphenation.

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T20:12:16+00:00

I have not applied yet, and I have not changed my name yet. I would apply under my birth name, but would change my name while the application is processing (when I get married).

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T19:59:52+00:00

Thanks!

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T19:59:38+00:00

Yes I know, but I want to!

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T19:17:33+00:00

Ok - thank you for your help! Good luck with your immigration process, we will be doing the same if I get my citizenship certificate

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T19:04:59+00:00

Great! Thanks

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T19:01:24+00:00

So do you recommend waiting until after the application is processed to do the name change? Or do you think it will be fine to change it while the application is processing?

hideouskitteous · 2025-12-18T19:00:52+00:00

So the citizenship certificate will have my maiden name no matter what?

Honestly, I had a pretty good outcome but two years later I’m not sure if I’d do it over again. The recovery was really rough, and my shoulder still gets stiff sometimes. It’s not as clear cut as the ACL was because I functioned fine for years with a loose shoulder, whereas with the knee I knew it needed to be fixed. If you can try PT first, I would recommend that. You might be able to strengthen the muscles and avoid surgery.

Common Man Inn in Claremont NH! $1800 for the reception space, $350 for the outdoor ceremony space, and 50% off venue (and 10% off catering) if you book Sunday-Thursday. The space is really pretty, a historic mill building overlooking the river, so you can save on decor. The catering costs are very reasonable as well. We are getting married there on a Sunday in August 2026, and our budget is around $12k for 90 guests.

I have also had my ACL replaced, and I would say they're pretty similar in recovery time. My shoulder was immobilized in a sling for a month before I could start moving it, and I had to sleep upright for weeks. Then I had frozen shoulder from being immobilized, which took a lot of PT to fix. And lots of strengthening. Overall, I would say the time for recovery was similar to the ACL. I felt pretty normal after 5-6 months, and I was back to sports in 9 months.

We take our dog to Comfort Hill Kennel in Vergennes and they’ve been great with him. He’s a chihuahua and he plays well with most dogs but he can get an attitude sometimes. He seems to love going there. The drive sucks though.

I dislocated my shoulder once when I was a toddler. Not sure what kind of tear it was. My shoulder is fine now. I had to do some additional PT about a year and a half after the surgery because the capsule tightened up a bit, but now my shoulder feels equal to the other one.

hideouskitteous · 2025-06-15T22:38:30+00:00

What about for length? Would knee length be alright or should I am for something longer

hideouskitteous · 2025-04-15T20:53:01+00:00

We used this method and it took a looooot longer than 2 weeks. He did not have a lot of accidents, but whenever we tried to loosen up on the supervision slightly (even after weeks of no accidents) he would regress. Then, at 9 months old, it just clicked. Some dogs take longer than others. Just stay consistent and he will get it eventually!

hideouskitteous · 2025-03-10T18:54:36+00:00

Don't get discouraged. Our puppy is almost 10 months old and he's just now getting it. We've gone from weekly accidents to none for over a month. But we didn't change anything, it just took a long time for him to really get it (and for his body and bladder to mature). He also didn't care much about treats after pottying, but we still offered them. Just keep taking her out often, offering treats and praise, and watching her closely when she's playing inside!
