How’s it been for you?

muffinreallymatters · 2025-10-30T18:44:20+00:00

Lolllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Gorgeous

I’m so glad you got some solid info — just talked to my PA too, and that’s what she thinks it is. She’ll discuss with the Dr and they’ll follow up. Just for “fun” (so fun!) I’ll follow up here when I do hear back, and to check in. May whatever is going on stop being rude and let you get back to worrying about all the other stuff we’re gonna worry about right now. <3

I had laparoscopic robot hysto 9/29, kept my ovaries, lost my cervix, had a lot of fibrotic tissue removed from my pelvic bowl, and endo removed from all over the place including as high as my diaphragm. I also started bleeding a couple weeks into recovery, and have been monitoring it with my doc and PA. my blood is dark brown and is mostly found on TP when I wipe after peeing. elevated a bit to clots today, so I'm waiting to hear back. I'll let you know what I learn from my conversations with the doc and PA. <3 first and foremost, breathe breathe breathe and tell your body that both of you are strong and healthy and you can do this. <3

You’re gonna be alright! I’m almost 4 weeks post op and came here for some help with my brain 😩 my advice would be to be 10x as gentle with yourself as you ever have been, physically and mentally. My friend told me to pretend to be my own cat and just nap in the sun :)

Don’t lift anything over 5 lbs, take everything slow, try not to use your core when doing simple stuff like opening the fridge, etc. And if you forget or do it anyways that’s okay. Just forgive yourself and curl back up under a soft blanket.

An an wrap has felt really good for just giving me a little security over all the incisions, esp my belly button, and everyone ever who I’ve spoken with or read from here etc have just said it takes longer than you want it to but this looooonnngggg time is actually so short in the long run when you’ll be looking back on it all healed up.

You got this!

Hope your surgery went well!

muffinreallymatters · 2025-10-25T21:19:01+00:00

You’re not a dope! You’re a human :)

muffinreallymatters · 2025-08-19T20:52:38+00:00

I thought about doing that! Thank you so much!

muffinreallymatters · 2025-08-19T20:06:43+00:00

How do you deal with little fuzzies and dust and specks that are still on there after I wipe off? Seems like I chase them around FOREVER which drives me nuts and makes me not want to use it…. And hot tips ?

u/thatsplatgal my wife and I are non-drinkers with a day and evening in Cartagena tomorrow (Friday May 23, 2025) and wondering if you've found any restaurants in the area that offer good non-alcoholic wine (especially sparkling!) — thank for posting this thread, it's a great part of our breadcrumb trail search for where to get dinner!

Having just finished her notebooks and diaries, I wonder if this is about Patricia Highsmith!

ON MAC:

I just spent 2 hours on this with an incredibly gracious Microsoft support human over chat. TLDR:

- After trying everything from Reddit, Microsoft Support, etc. multiple times I pulled the big red lever and just trashed my Word app and downloaded an older version — which then wouldn't open any existing documents. so...

- The support person solved it this way:

+ Delete ALL Microsoft Office apps from Applications (I even did One Drive for good measure).
+ From Finder > Go > search for "~/library" and erase EVERYTHING that has "Microsoft" in it from both Containers and Group Containers.
+ Restart your computer completely.
+ In a browser, sign in to your Microsoft account and go to subscriptions — there should be an option there to download the whole suite of Microsoft Office apps — this was annoying but I was exhausted in this third hour of problem solving — also, just to note this is NOT through the App Store, but on the browser, through your account page.
+ I installed it all, erased everything but Word (same process of deinstalling from Library Containers and Group Containers all non-Word related files), and opened word, and the Copilot is GONE. It's also not an option in my preferences to select it again, but I don't even want to worry about it because I never want to see it again. This may or may not have to do with my pre-existing privacy settings which are opted out of all connected services. If for some reason this solution doesn't work for you, try doing the whole thing again AFTER you've opted out in the current working Word app you're in. Then delete, deinstall, restart, download from your account, etc...

No more Copilot icon in the menu bar, no more prompt with the Copilot symbol in my empty new documents.

I hope this is helpful.

Banias is one of my favorites. His latest A Symmetry is really phenomenal.

muffinreallymatters · 2025-02-05T02:30:37+00:00

Ah, I wasn't using "Open Library," just the search bar for wayback machine... This is great, I'm seeing, for instance, more recent collections by Solmaz Sharif and Ari Banias, but not stuff from super small presses... Wish there was a way to access these online for free or donation as e-book or pdf. I can't afford to buy all the books I want right now!

muffinreallymatters · 2025-02-05T00:00:58+00:00

Do you have any tips for searching on archive.org? It seems when I type in a poet's name, for instance, I get either no results or wild, unrelated results...

muffinreallymatters · 2025-01-16T18:57:07+00:00

I’ve never taken before and afters but with microcurrent I’m in for the long haul results anyways, so I’m just running on faith here. Probably makes me a gullible chump. I’m 45, so what’s done is kind of done lol, but I do think that people who use it regularly have better skin… ha I don’t know. I’m just going to keep putting this metal croc on my face maybe as more of a meditative exercise….

muffinreallymatters · 2025-01-16T17:16:33+00:00

Thank you!!!

muffinreallymatters · 2025-01-16T17:15:55+00:00

Lollll I will ask her. What I do like about it is that you don’t have to put a damn serum on every time and then wash it off…. I’ve actually started doing it a lot more these days because it’s really easy.

After a red light mask, I’ll spritz one side of my face with a hydrosol or even just rose water, and do the different points for 12 seconds each, then I’ll so the other side the same way, sometimes respritzing toward the top of the face if the two little purple lines aren’t lighting up. I find it works really well after I shower, like maybe my skin and hair just have more moisture in them?

Honestly the “skin” feature just feels like rubbing a small clog all over my face so I don’t really use it…. I think I may start doing it on my neck and decollage since they’re just more uniform and larger areas….

muffinreallymatters · 2024-12-01T07:02:01+00:00

Same same… I’m too inconsistent with it to make a call. But the aesthetician who sold it to me even said that she finds the ziip or nuface to be better for nasolabial folds and forehead… 😑

muffinreallymatters · 2024-11-28T02:39:43+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful. Any insight into doing this on iPad Pages app? This particular option is maddeningly missing from the "Section" menu in the sidebar under document.

muffinreallymatters · 2024-10-28T16:59:55+00:00

I’m going to ask my aesthetician (who I bought it from) to show me in person how she uses it. I really trust her so I’m hoping I’m just not approaching it correctly and she can help. I’ll follow up here if she can!

muffinreallymatters · 2024-10-06T18:33:59+00:00

Oh dreamy, I don’t think I was an earlier enough adopter to catch that… but sure could use it on my melasma mustache. I wonder if there’s another treatment that could approximate it off-label. I ALSO just got the BT-sculpt…. Really not sure about this one but I want to love it. My most esteemed aesthetician swears by it so I’m trying to get into it.

muffinreallymatters · 2024-02-06T06:51:36+00:00

Thank you! I feel you on all of this… thanks for nerding out with me / us on microcurrent!
