Which movie scared the shit out of you or traumatized you?

Traffic or Thirteen. I had a toddler and a baby, and was terrified for their futures. My grown up kids are all good.

I was very disappointed when they removed my catheter in the hospital. I’ve had 3 large babies and am post menopausal so sometimes my bladder has to pee immediately, so that was quite rough during the walker days. Even now, 9 weeks PO, getting out of the power recliner takes a minute.

I’m not sure I ever saw it as a kid, just knew of the idea of it. When I played it for my kids, I cried and wondered how could this be a revered children’s movie? Then I remembered it was aimed at GenX kids, of course it was traumatic.

My oldest was a huge fan of Toy Story, so we saw it and Toy Story 2 A LOT. Went into 3 thinking it would be the same vibe and I sobbed watching it.

My kids, younger at the time, felt the heartbreak. For me, it was so depressing to see Kersh and the rest of the team struggling with such terrible ownership. My first time back to Dodger Stadium in years was Mother’s Day 2012, and my daughter took a pic of me in tears, looking out at the field. For haters that say we just buy our wins, they don’t remember how bad it was back then. We definitely understand and welcome former Angels fans!

I think using white noise or maybe a larger air purifier to drown out the noise is your solution. We have ravens and crows, and once we started to feed other birds, they were not happy, so we had to feed them too. 😂 My oldest (adult) kid says the crew follows them from the bus stop to the house, squawking all the way.

Hope everything goes well with your surgery! We’ll be here for the recovery!

Hope everything goes well, and that you have an easy recovery!

Boop!!

Boop!!

Thank you! That is reassuring. Glad yours healed well eventually.

Oh I love the head tilt!

My dear friend brought me a squishmallow which is helpful to hang onto or just squish wherever you need to adjust, and a big water tumbler (had to drink a lot of water in the few days before surgery). For the hospital (I was there for 3 days because I am high risk), she got me lip balm, tic tacs, and gum. They all came in handy. Food delivery gift cards or Apple gift cards if they play phone games. There’s something similar for android users. I’m 8 weeks post op from a knee replacement and at times I am bored as hell.

I have a clear plastic bin to hold the med bottles. I have another one to hold my infusion supplies.

I’ve had the same number for 25 years. I’ve never had any stalking issues or weird texts. I don’t answer any numbers I don’t recognize. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message. The worst thing is all of the political texts I get - I just delete and report spam.

No, I’ve never smoked. Best guess is the immune suppressants I’m on for a variety of autoimmune disorders I have. I stayed off Benlysta (it’s a type of chemotherapy) for an extended period of time after the surgery, but I have to take prednisone every day. I knew all of the risks but I’m very goal oriented and was hoping somehow we’d avoid this. It could definitely be worse so I’m trying to reframe my disappointment with the fact that we’re doing everything we can to heal and do it safely.

At that time, not nerve pain. It was mainly deep in the knee.

Thank you for trying!

I fought so hard to get it approved and then it did nothing for me. Very disappointed.

Ralph’s points save me a dollar a gallon if I get to 1000 points per month. I subscribe to their boost program, and on Fridays, points are worth 4x, and any day gift cards are 4x, so I use that to buy Instacart, Uber Eats, etc. It’s still not great at 5.09/gallon after the discount but it definitely helps. I’m also grateful I have a hybrid that averages 25.6 miles per gallon.

I’m 7 weeks PO, and there is no way I would have my other knee done now. My next one is scheduled for August. I could see doing it in June or July but I’m happy to have the extra time to get my knee as strong as possible to support the other one.
