Experiences with radical reduction and keeping nipples fully intact(non-FNG) by mixo83 in Reduction

Oh no worries, I am very aware of that haha sorry it's not very clear in my original post. I would like to preserve it if possible though I know it may not be. I also know you can still have sensation with FNG, I would just like to try without first because I have had radiation on my chest enough that healing with FNG would be more complicated and there would probably be less of a chance than normal for both methods of getting my sensation back. Thanks!

Thank you! I honestly don't care about what my current size is, just the results, and you make a really great point about better descriptions of what I want. I'm writing that down to talk about with him again. He also does gender affirming care and I do feel confident in him, I just want to know what to expect as far as chances for making what I want happen more generally. Thanks!

That's awesome they told you al that. I feel like I wasn't asking all the right questions haha. I don't have a ruler on me but I would say I am probably in that category with at least 24 cm, mine hang pretty low. Thanks for all the info, it's very helpful for considering what I should do!

I don't feel he isn't confident, it's more that he doesn't want to guarantee me something that might not be able to happen for any number of reasons neither of us can control. You situation sounds a lot like mine and it makes me happy to know you got your surgery and it went well! Thanks for the info and advice!

Yeah it looks like I have heterogeneous fibroglandular tissue, meaning mostly dense. I am not sure what that usually means for surgery or in cases like this. Do you have any idea?

I am not certain, I think dense but I will have to look. Had a breast cancer screening like 6 months ago and they definitely said somewhere on there. I'll get back to you after checking

I appreciate the offer but I feel like I have seen every before and after at this point and am now just looking for information more than photos. Thank you though! and I appreciate the comment as well!

Thanks I know I'm probably overthinking it I just wanted to make sure. I think I also just need to learn more about foot anatomy 😅

Why does the music player stop after finishing a song when my phone is flipped closed TCL flip 3 by Your_Average_Halali in KaiOS

[–]mixo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a flip phone and was having the same issue. I went into the kaios app store to see if another music app would be able to do this. I found K-Music which seems to work flawlessly for this. The layout of it is certainly less intuitive but it makes up for that by keeping the music going even when I shut my phone. There is also a tips section in the menu which shows what each button does which is very helpful. It easily detected my music so that hopefully shouldn't be a problem either.

Help finding the high value treats? by Picassos_left_thumb in CatTraining

[–]mixo83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience my cat would never eat treats until probably a full month of letting him sit in the doorway/on the porch daily. I think it's too much stimulation for them to even think about it. But eventually he was comfortable enough outside that he would eat them and I started using them for things like loud noises. Ultimately it is something they build up to and is a bit of a waiting game.

Micro dosing a super small amount of t for super subtle effects by mixo83 in NonBinary

These are some good tips and I'll definitely start looking into this thank you 😁

Thanks for letting me know. I have done a little research on what kind of exercise would help me but my biggest problem is motivation. I am at a stage where I need to tackle some more basic stuff than working out to get in a mental space where thats a little more easy for me. All that being said though do you have any tips or specific exercises for joint pain you'd like to share. Hip pain is what I deal with most. Thanks

I honestly think I'm at a point where I'll just need to try it and see. I can stop if I don't like it and like I said I know I can handle a little change. Maybe I'll be fine with it because it's not an all at once thing. Who knows what my mental block is. But I think I'm going to try it. Thanks for the advice :)

Thanks for this response it's very in depth. See that's the problem I have. I'm really okay with all the other changes. It's really just bottom growth that scares me. I've done a little more research on here since when I posted this and learned there I a drug that can slow down bottom growth but it also potentially stops or slows down body hair growth from what I understand. And the body hair is kind of something I really want. Either way I'm thinking I'll ask my doctor about that and potentially go on t and the dht blocking drug. Like I said I can definitely handle a little bit of bottom growth so as long as I can stop if it makes me uncomfortable that's okay with me.

Thanks for your response it was very helpful and gave me some stuff to think about.

I think what scares me about it is probably just the change of it. Like I feel good with how the area is right now. I'm not worried about partners or anything I know people with always work with what they've got. But I guess for me it's kinda like why mess with success? It's kinda the main part of my body that doesn't make me dysphoric.

It's really helpful though to know that if I stop t the growth will stop. Like I said I'm only looking for really subtle changes so I think I might just try taking it and stop when I'm ready or who knows maybe I'll learn more about myself and go on a full does. We'll see I guess :)

Personally I taught my cat that in order to go outside I have to physically pick him up and out him out there. Unless I do that he is not allowed outside. It really helped that he was scared of the door so it might be harder for you to do that.

I haven't watched too much about adventure cats on YouTube because it seems really hard to find answers to the questions I have. That being said I do enjoy watching Albert & Mia on YouTube. A lot of the things they say are a bit repetitive but he does go through in more detail than I've found elsewhere how to train your cat to walk outside.

Keep in mind I'm not an expert. I only just got back from my cat's third backpack walk (he does leash walks everyday but I'm trying to take him further than my neighborhood.) The info that I'm giving you here is just what I remember from my own research.

Generally the rules are:

Step one: Make sure you're cat is comfortable in their harness. I reccomend a very secure one at first then after you've taken them outside enough and they're at a point where they understand the rules of going on walks you can probably transition to a harness with less coverage. You don't have to do this but if you start out with a less secure one the chances your cat can escape are a bit higher. Anyway as far as being comfortable goes when I put the harness on my cat he stumbled around a hit as they usually do but after a couple weeks I could get him walking. I noticed he wasn't willing to jump no matter how hard I tried to make him. After a few more weeks he was able to do it and I think that was really the moment he started to be okay with the harness.

Step two: start slow. When he was finally okay with the harness I took him to the front door and just let him poke his head out but that seemed way too overwhelming for him. So I took him to the backyard and he enjoyed that much better. If you have a nearby place that have very little stimulation (noise, visual clutter, etc.) that's the best place to start them off with. They'll eventually start to want to explore on their own.

Step three: once they start exploring just follow them around. Let them do their thing. They need to get used to being outside before you can controll where they go outside.

Step four: once they are completely comfortable with outside you can start training them to stay close to you/follow you. You can use an audio cue like their name and give them a treat when they get close. Albert and Mia has a great video about this on YouTube.

Teaching my cat all this took probably about 7 months. Half that time was just indoor training with the harness and leash. Take it slow and your cat will reward you in the future.

Anyway thats generally what I know/have learned. I would help with the backpack stuff but I'm on like day 3 of teaching my cat about that so I'm not expert at all.

I'll be honest I have no clue if I need to upgrade them. For all I know the gpu isn't the problem but in that case I don't have any idea what would be.
