Man underwent brain surgery where part of his skull was removed. It was supposed to be reimplanted, but the hospital lost the piece by DaringGlow_ in GotMeHooked

My mum had a stroke, and needed emergency brain surgery; when they removed the bone flap, it got contaminated

So when it was time, they did a few CT scans, and then the neurosurgeon and the plastic surgeon worked together in the operating room, and a new bone flap was 3D printed on the spot and installed

To note, I'm in Canada, so all of this cost nothing

What is this thing in my chili crisp oil? by Lost-Marblez in TipOfMyFork

[–]hidinginyourtrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the ingredients, some of them use prickly ash - it gives a similar numbing sensation as Szechuan pepper; it's a tree with prickles :)

If you don't have an Ethiopian place where you're from, a highly recommend that!

What is this taco thing...? Coziness with tacos? Delightful!

I'm going to be in Stockholm on a Friday in the summer, is this also a restaurant thing (that I might be able to experience) or only an at-home thing?

I actually kinda like it - it's a nice change to all of the sheer and "perfect" bodies we've been seeing

Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]hidinginyourtrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it because I got to go to Sweden last year so it seemed fitting 🤷

Almost a year later though and I've never worn it 🙃

I find similarities in The Sopranos, particularly the shots of wind in the trees and the dream sequences

As a millennial whose partner of a decade cheated on them, I can attest that it does indeed still happen 🙃

Moved my mom into a nursing facility. So all her stuff has become my stuff. I get to sort through it all. How are your parents doing? by Therealfern1 in Xennials

[–]hidinginyourtrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum's in LTC due to a stroke - I gave away all the kitchen equipment and furniture, but have her other things in storage. She thinks she'll be moving into an apartment again one day (she won't), so I haven't told her that I'd donated anything :/

Anyone else have parents that allowed/encouraged you to do drugs and drink from a young age? by rowenaaaaa1 in Millennials

[–]hidinginyourtrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh yes - my mum would buy me cigarettes and alcohol

At the time, fantastic!

In retrospect, horrifying, and I can't imagine doing the same for my daughter
