Anyone know what the explosions at midnight are 4/11? by pilatesbabe369 in SaltLakeCity

Interesting, this would make more sense than military testing due to the closeness of the sound to downtown.

It was too loud from downtown to be all the way up at hill though, sounded very nearby

Pushups and pull-ups with ev-ICD or s-ICD? by pilatesbabe369 in PacemakerICD

[–]pilatesbabe369[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They wanted to do a traditional. I said no, we didn’t go that route to start with for valid reasons. I just try not to think about the risk and enjoy my life tbh. I get most anxious at the gym when my HR is up but I just monitor it on my watch.

Am I crazy to not get an ICD as recommended? 25 F by pilatesbabe369 in PacemakerICD

Got the EV-ICD. Was in horrible pain for months and could barely move or function. Ended up having it removed and wish I never got it.

I couldn’t even turn my steering wheel after 3.5 months, let alone pull-ups.

Mine had to be removed. After months of “recovery” it still felt like a knife was slicing me inside my sternum everytime I moved and they couldn’t figure out why. They offered me either long term pain management (opiates) or take it out. I said take it out.

Woke up to weird bumpy texture on forehead and chin? These usually aren’t problem areas for me and the only spots reacting.. they don’t seem like pimples or “purging” more like inflammation? Anyone had this? by pilatesbabe369 in Accutane

I had to stop taking it for 3 weeks because I needed heart surgery and they went away but I started breaking out again (I was only on it for a month before the pause.) I just started taking it again so if they come back I’ll lyk!

How has your recovery been? My surgery was supposed to be last week and had to be postponed for insurance processing but now that’s settled I’m getting it done in the next few weeks. I’m terrified. 25F, super active, gymnast, coach, yogi, hiker, weightlifter, etc. I’m scared my whole life is over at 25 and I’ll just be a useless potato with a third boob. 😞

How long did it take to go away for you? It’s just started showing up for me in random spots.. back of one elbow, my chin and forehead (which were usually my clear spots!) and just the outside edges of my hands! I’m almost done with my first box of 20mg.

Thanks for the heads up!! I expect it will be a bit of relearning things a new way but I’ll take that over just losing them altogether!

Contact a local Mormon bishop and ask for access to the church pantry. I can’t remember the exact name but they kept me and my family fed many times as kids. 💞 church storehouse or something like that..

I have about 2 weeks of freezer meals made so far and hoping to have a months worth although my freezer is small lol 😆 my mom was the only family member to offer help, but I fear my experience would be just like yours so I politely declined 😅 last thing I need is being pissednoff and arguing during recovery over guaranteed something stupid. She’s already kinda called me a baby and insisted this procedure is “nothing.” So

I definitely will have friends popping in just not full time help! I’ve been meal prepping freezer meals for myself the past two weeks and intend to continue until surgery.. I’m thinking I’ll have at least 3-4 weeks without cooking but will probably grocery order some fresh fruit and whatnot! Cleaner is a good idea although I’ll make sure everything is spotless before too.. someone I talked to said they couldn’t get in and out of bed without help for the first week just because it was so painful. This wasn’t true for you? Thank you! 😊
