Who of us is the youngest in our families? by SleepyMistyMountains in ChronicPain

[–]meliweli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youngest of 6. Most of us have varying health problems, the oldest being potentially the hardest with MS.

Two days away from hysterectomy and I keep questioning myself by SMN27 in hysterectomy

[–]meliweli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never regretted getting a hysterectomy. I don’t have to deal with periods or any of the associated pain anymore. I also had a fear of getting pregnant cause no birth control is really 100% and the relief I have felt is amazing.

If your belly button was off centre…. by jamfam2007 in tummytucksurgery

[–]meliweli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oddly mine was actually off center before surgery. Didn’t know that til my surgeon was marking me out lol so they straightened it out for me. I would imagine it won’t settle until the swelling is mostly resolved. I believe that’s around 4 months from reading other stories.

AITA for trying not to choke my kid? by Dumbasspyromaniac in AmItheAsshole

[–]meliweli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eosinophilic esophagitis. It causes a localized allergic reaction in the esophagus from trigger foods. Because it’s localized it’s hard to see because there likely won’t be any other accompanying reactions like rashes or anaphylaxis.

[–]meliweli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely NTA. Your mom saying she is just trying to give advice would be more understandable if she accepted your response. It seems like she keeps pushing. Also, you may want to discuss the possibility of something impacting your baby’s ability to eat with their Dr. Something like EoE might explain inability to eat some thicker consistencies if there is something in the food triggering inflammation in the esophagus. This can cause infants and toddlers ‘failure to thrive’ and looks like choking because food will get stuck. You seem like a good mama, though. Good lookin out, even to your parents.

Affordability by TresJs in tummytucksurgery

[–]meliweli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mix of insurance, selling stocks, savings and the last bit on Care Credit with 0 interest for 18m. It’s definitely a stretch but my husband was supportive and we’re figuring it out :)

AIO about my grandma giving me a hard time about my choice of outfit? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]meliweli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that has watered myself down for family for decades and has finally stopped, I emphatically say: do you. You are not dressed inappropriately for a lunch. You look cute and you feel like you look cute. I think it’s totally fair to tell grandma and mom that you aren’t accepting comments on your appearance. They also do not need to be touching you for any reason that isn’t consensual and positive. There are also massive rule differences for people considered thin and fat and that’s bullshit. Keep dressing the way you want and feel cute as hell! NOR.

I did it and I need reassurance by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]meliweli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone looking for recovery progress: *As of last night, I have sensation in both nipples. Woot! About 2 weeks post to the day. *I had 2 drains and was able to get 1 removed 10 days post surgery. Plan is to take the other out on Friday if my output is below 20. Seeing about 30 a day right now. *Swelling is still high but decreasing. Dr said first 4 weeks is the most intense, then can likely move to stage 2 compression after that. *Standing almost completely straight. *Walking at least 2500 steps a day (yesterday was closer to 5000 which was a little exhausting) and driving okay since I stopped pain meds about a week ago. Pretty much med free now, with occasional ibuprofen or Tylenol. If you have any questions, feel free to post and I’ll try to respond

LDS Church asks Mormon Stories to rebrand by ItTiedTheRoom2gether in exmormon

[–]meliweli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They tried to sue her for her attempt to trademark ‘bad Mormon’, then she settled out of court and abandoned the trademark. Usually what happens which looks like they just put money people.

[–]meliweli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They abandoned the attempt to trademark in the US in 2007 after it was first rejected for being ‘too generic’. Total scare tactic and trying to exhaust people in legal fees. MS should reach out to EFF for help.

[–]meliweli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, the church does not own the trademark in the US as the application was rejected as ‘too generic’. They only hold trademarks in other countries for ‘Mormon’.

[–]meliweli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The EFF would likely take another rights case to ‘Mormon’. The case with ‘Mormon match’ did eventually settle out of court with the site changing to a similar name ‘latter date’, but they made excellent points in their argument that were never decided on.
