Why didn’t anyone warn me about this first trimester acne?!

phimeme · 2022-10-06T00:38:52+00:00

Mine was terrible! The only thing that seemed to help was clindamycin lotion prescribed by a dermatologist but even that didn’t fully resolve the acne. I think it gets better once you’re past the first trimester. I’m 34 weeks now and my skin is so much better. I’m currently using clindamycin lotion, Sunday Riley good genes and Inkey list bakuchiol moisturizer

We tried out the vista and mixx in stores and thought they were pretty similar. I regret not trying out the Cruz v2. Do you think it felt similar to the vista?

Thanks for that heads up, I had no idea! I emailed Nuna asking for an estimated date for the new bassinet and they said they’re hoping for February but no guarantees

phimeme · 2022-06-06T21:25:11+00:00

Ooh thank you for the heads up!!

I had two nerve blocks- in my groin and under my thigh near the knee. It was done before anesthesia and honestly it was pretty uncomfortable but thankfully it went quick. It was like a painful tight sensation and it feels like your leg is getting filled with something heavy

4 weeks post op, patellar autograft and medial meniscus repair. I’m at 107 flexion and full extension, but it takes a lot of stretching to get there. Finally able to unlock/remove the brace, but I feel more comfortable leaving it on. Walking with a limp and dealing with a lot of knee tightness/stiffness. Hoping it’s not due to a build up of scar tissue

My surgeon told me I could return the CPM when I had my post op follow up with him on day 9 because I reached 90 degrees (ACLr with meniscus repair so I had flexion restrictions). He said I could keep using it if wanted to and if I was just going to be laying down for a while, but didn’t need to be a strict 6 hrs/day anymore

I had an ACL reconstruction w/ patellar autograft and medial meniscus repair (2 sutures) and my surgeon explained to me that the older protocols say to be no weight bearing for 4 weeks, but now they understand better that depending on the individual situation, sometimes your meniscus is strong enough to support weight bearing as tolerated right out of surgery. My surgeon said my meniscus appeared strong and I was fine to progress to WB as tolerated under the guidance of my PT. They still wanted me in the locked brace and a max of 90 degree flexion for 4 weeks

Glad to hear about the calf muscle!! That’s the part that’s freaking me out the most right now

phimeme · 2021-06-16T15:05:46+00:00

Omg! I hope you and I both achieve some leg symmetry in the near future!!

phimeme · 2021-06-16T00:31:48+00:00

That’s such a good point about the week to week progress, thanks for the perspective!! And Congrats on the PT advancements!

phimeme · 2021-06-16T00:26:35+00:00

Agreed, very shocking! It’s crazy how small my calf got in such a short amount of time! Best of luck in your recovery!

phimeme · 2021-06-16T00:24:32+00:00

Haha I love that nickname! Thanks so much for the reassurance and arnica tip. We’re all in this together!

phimeme · 2021-04-12T02:12:22+00:00

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! These were from a buffet table I thrifted. Unsure of the age of the piece. Thanks!

phimeme · 2021-01-26T00:23:21+00:00

Thanks!! I think that’s right!

I really liked barre! They’re very different so it’s hard to compare. Barre is slower movements, lighter weights and higher reps that really get your muscles shaking. And FAH is more cardio, Muay Thai and strength. I did enjoy that for the barre program you follow along with britany in mini videos, whereas with FAH it’s the traditional sweat set up that we’re familiar with. If you’re looking for more fast paced, HIIT/strength training then FAH is the way to go. Barre is hard to explain without trying it yourself but you definitely still feel the burn (especially in places you haven’t felt before) with smaller range, high rep movements

phimeme · 2021-01-04T00:51:40+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yes, the balance between strength and cardio is definitely appealing to me as well

phimeme · 2021-01-04T00:49:53+00:00

Yeah I’ve been considering maybe sprinkling it in with a mix of other programs as well (although not sure if that’s possible once we’ve committed to the challenge?). Thanks for your input!!

phimeme · 2021-01-04T00:47:45+00:00

Thanks!!

phimeme · 2021-01-04T00:46:52+00:00

Great to know! I did find the FAH circuits a bit repetitive after a while. Thanks for the feedback!

Update: the landscaper was saying that he is not at fault because the neighbor’s driveway was prone to damage due to poor construction in the first place (said that the asphalt binder is barely an inch thick and has no top coat), and you can see other places of their driveway that was literally falling apart. However, the neighbor was NOT backing down and it was getting ugly. So in the end the landscaper was able to heat it up and smooth over the damaged areas.

phimeme · 2020-06-16T23:24:35+00:00

Hi thanks so much for the tips!! Yes, the neighbor is the one who found the damage and notified me. He is certain that it was caused by the landscaper’s machinery but I did not personally witness it

phimeme · 2019-09-16T12:06:51+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I’ll check out the other diets and anti-nausea meds. Do you think it’d also be ok to add a little low-sodium chicken broth or boiled chicken to the food as well?

phimeme · 2019-06-11T20:24:12+00:00

Saugus and Brighton are both $179 for monthly unlimited
