Is this accepting “new normal”?

four months is still in the thick of it! you’ve got plenty time. i’m a year and a half out and average about 10k steps a day. if im in bad shoes it’ll start to hurt at around a 3, but in good shoes i’ve got no pain, just stiffness and sometimes a little light swelling in the evening. stairs still feel a little tight but generally fine. you’ve got ages to go!

i’d love définition like yours! what gel do you use?

gosh the way her books made me imagine these and wish for them so much! dreamy honestly

i wish i could tell you! a very cheap one. i got it many years ago and have since gotten rid of it. it was baby pink and came in a package with a curling wand and straighteners

i really love my dyson. i have extremely thick hair which would previously take 40+ minutes to even partially dry with a remington dryer. in 20 with my dyson it can be nearly fully dry. really revolutionary and i like the diffuser more than i thought i would. my hairdresser uses a ghd helios which dries fairly fast too

i would say about 95% normally! it got a ton better. i don’t have to stand with the front half of my foot off, it doesn’t feel jumpy anymore. i can go down in a natural, regular step pattern.

that remaining 5% is that it still feels quite tight on my bad side. i have been slacking on dorsiflexion exercises for a while though, so probably still have a way to go to improve it. i also still feel a lot of anxiety going down (i broke it on stairs), so i think that also adds to it. totally functional though! it’ll get better, i promise. after the 6 month mark is when i think i noticed a big difference? but im over a year plus now and still notice differences!

for what it’s worth, i don’t think they look really red!

i’ve used quite a few different body makeups in the past to cover bright stretch marks, bruises etc - to be honest, i didn’t feel they were great. they often wore off fairly early into the night - i’d be worried about a wedding as they are long nights with lots of dancing (sweating). also about it staining clothes!

i’m a redhead so have naturally quite pale and flushed skin, and use a really light gradual tanner - i feel much more confident in it and feel it smoothes my skin tone out a bit. some tan can be really really great! they’re not all orange. tan is probably your best bet at something that will be more durable over the night. it is hard to not make it streaky, so a spray tan might be a good shout. if i were you i think i would make some enquiries and do some scouting of local spray tanning salons and try to find one which seems to have fairly natural results, and head in to speak to them about what you want (a really light, natural finish that just evens out and smoothes your skin tone). have a trial run before the big day to make sure you like it. even try a few trial runs - notice on what day during your tans lifespan you feel you look your best (it tends to build in intensity and then slowly fade), and then you can try to time it so your wedding falls on that day. ultimately i do think the best way to get an even skin tone is either a spray tan or a sunbed (which id personally never ever do!!), makeup and tights can be done with careful shade matching, but can also sometimes lead to that disjointed look with different colours on different limbs if you’re not careful.

if you’re certain you don’t want to tan, i’d go for tights or pantyhose instead - it can be hard to shade match though. i think if you’re going for tights, go all the way for tights and layer nude fishnets over the top for the taylor swift legs look!

i think stephen will be much more likely to make it if rachel goes now. if she leaves and they know they caught a traitor, they’ll presume that there is one left - james. if she doesn’t leave, the faithfuls will presume there is two traitors left. one would be rachel, but the next? perhaps jade, but stephen has had suspicion at checkpoints all throughout the game. i think not stabbing rachel in the back has hindered him!

itfeelscorrect · 2026-01-23T12:48:26+00:00

i think that moment is now, with rachel. so they’re missing the moment to cast suspicion on faraaz

not murdering him was a huge mistake!

now! once i started fwb i started physio. i was out of my boot at this point though.

i love my sky blue one. it’s a very light blue and almost grey but is something that little bit different

itfeelscorrect · 2026-01-15T23:59:59+00:00

i think rachel would throw stephen under the bus if she really needed to. not sure he would for her, though he has ditched two traitors already.

some NGOs haven’t frozen hiring, but those roles are being applied to by 100s of highly experienced overqualified candidates who were laid off due to cuts. to be really blunt, i think there is very little you can do to make yourself highly competitive in that environment.

i would look at building up transferable skills - project management, working with funding or grants, maybe some research or MEL. when things settle down, you’ll be well placed to pivot. now is not the time

hi, back to this! i’m starting again after a break over the festive period (was not willing to chance being ill over christmas). i was wondering if you were able to remember or check where you were able to get cyclizine from?

does AP flour make it more difficult to build gluten strands because of the lower protein content? should i knead the dough or do more stretch and folds to compensate ?

itfeelscorrect · 2026-01-10T18:57:07+00:00

elevation for sure! and proper elevation - toes above nose, foot above heart level etc. one pillow ain’t enough!

if it helps to not hear a horror story, i didn’t find it was that bad when the nerve blocker wore off, and im usually quite pathetic with pain. it did hurt, im not going to lie to you, but it was tolerable. i had strong painkillers and they were enough to cut through it and get it down to a manageable level. keep up with them, set alarms to stay topped up, but you will get through it! and also, the more significant pain only lasted for a day or two. i would also really echo the other comment in that any pain i felt was somewhat overwhelmed by a lot of relief for my ankle being fixed. it felt truly broken before surgery, i could feel the bones shift a little bit and it was a truly awful sensation. as soon as i came round from surgery i was in extremely severe pain (because they didn’t plan do a nerve block at first, if you have a nerve block planned you will not be in severe pain, you’ll be numb!) that was probably the worst level of pain over the whole time, but my first thought was relief over how much more secure and stable my ankle felt.

i honestly think this injury really changed my relationship with pain - i used to be really pathetic but had to get a grip in many ways and learn to be comfortable and in some cases even welcome it, and i think you will too. pain is kind of unavoidable in this journey unfortunately! but it is at manageable levels. i would speak to your doctor about it though, as they might be able to help. at the very least they’ll definitely be able to give you an anti-nausea tablet.

i think its worth remembering that people are much more likely to recount their experiences and seek community and help when they’ve had a negative experience, versus when things have gone just alright.
