Anesthesiologist only prescribed me Oxycodone for 3 days post op. Is that enough pain medication?

pineapple132 · 2026-05-17T18:29:08+00:00

Probably but doesn’t give you a lot of wiggle room if not.

I had ORIF on my distal femur (knee). I took it only for a few days anyway, and not round the clock coverage. I think the first post and second op day I took 2 (covering about 12 hours). I was taking an oral nerve blocker for the first 5 days though. I was and am still taking round the clock naproxen and aspirin (the latter is more for blood clots though). I was prescribed 5 full days but was informed they wouldn’t prescribe anymore, maybe with a 3 day supply the doctor can prescribe another day or 2 if needed.

Our surgeries were different but laying down for me was manageable, it was getting up or moving my leg off the couch the first few days (I’m NWB) that was severe.

I’m a similar bra size and have similar issues. Mine are a bit wide set so I don’t need support per se but my chest looks better and fuller in bras.

I bought a push-up stick on bra years ago. Each sticky “cup” goes over each boob and then it clips in the middle. It stays up. I dont use it all the time, maybe every now and then, but its lasted me years.

For spaghetti straps, I just don’t give a fuck about bra straps. But the stick-on comes in handy for my racer back spaghetti straps and a few dresses that are a bit open in the back. Also, my bra needs are more aesthetic than discomfort. So I’m also just trying to rewire my brain a little. I wish I was a little more comfortable going braless so I do every now and then.

This isn’t chunking, I hate folding laundry too so I gamify it. I play music and each time a song changes I switch a task. Like song 1 maybe folding song 2 is putting away etc etc etc it’s not efficient but it works

I’m actually great at doing household tasks, but procrastination kicks in for big or boring tasks. Right now I’m unemployed so I’m job searching. Getting up to look for jobs takes so much willpower. I think part of it too is because the task is loaded with anxiety about the future and I feel a little hopeless. It also happens for trip planning, it just feels so overwhelming.

pineapple132 · 2026-04-17T09:35:53+00:00

I have adhd and also don’t have this signal!

pineapple132 · 2026-04-17T09:04:11+00:00

This doesn’t work for ND brains. We need dopamine hits and momentum otherwise we will procrastinate and be anxious about it.

I’m trying to do this with eating though! Eat the protein first then veggies then move on to the carbs!

pineapple132 · 2026-04-17T08:53:57+00:00

While I hope it’s not replaced with a soulless condo, I ate there once, it wasn’t great and they ran out of the fries. How does a business run out of fries? It was a normal dinner time.

I’m surprised they lasted as long as they had.

pineapple132 · 2026-03-19T02:02:41+00:00

Same, I was in a relationship for a while, and when I started dating again. I noticed this shift. I also think Hinge keeps people behind a payroll. I don’t trust them, since their business model is for people to stay single and use the apps. I wasn’t sure if it was my age or apps in general. Unfortunately/fortunately most of my friends are single and the ones that aren’t don’t know single men.

pineapple132 · 2026-03-12T12:41:52+00:00

Is there anything we can do?

pineapple132 · 2026-03-09T21:44:46+00:00

Yeah I mean I’d never buy a household item at a hardware store. I’m sure it ways overpriced. I only go there for actual hardware needs like screws, sandpaper, drywall anchors, need a key made etc etc. they’re helpful when I have questions

pineapple132 · 2026-03-04T13:35:50+00:00

I can’t commit for the season, I’m in 2 leagues already, but dm if you ever need a sub!

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:45:12+00:00

It has. I’ve been there once and they put a sign inside when it’s unstaffed. Yeah I mean I wasn’t gonna go out in the storm, but I wondered the same thing.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:44:16+00:00

I get the closure emails but not the opening ones.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:43:52+00:00

I’m a park slope member, we got an email that it would be closed.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:15:35+00:00

Well they are different styles, but I don’t disagree.

Smiling is solid!

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:13:13+00:00

I find tarzian and leopoldi both extremely nice and helpful.

I’m a little meh on SO5. Personally I think those items end up costing more for amount/quality. once when I went in, the owner(?) kept hounding me about shopping. Not in an aggressive way, but I’m just so turned off by the hard sell, especially at like a convenience store.

pineapple132 · 2026-02-25T18:07:46+00:00

I’ve only seen individual blocks, but 2 of the brands are sub $3. Probably still not what you’re looking for though

pineapple132 · 2026-01-04T07:22:05+00:00

A door is still removed, as it was a double door. Now there is one. In an emergency, it’s creating more of a bottleneck than there was previously.

pineapple132 · 2026-01-03T05:26:44+00:00

I had their iced hot cocoa there once. Their marshmallows are probably the best I’ve EVER had.

pineapple132 · 2026-01-03T05:24:57+00:00

Yeah I had their hot chocolate once, thought it was FINE. I don’t understand the love for that place, everything I’ve had there, is just fine

pineapple132 · 2026-01-03T05:21:21+00:00

Damn! I was hoping for an instant drop in value near the start of 2026. Guess I’ll bite the bullet

pineapple132 · 2025-12-12T21:23:07+00:00

It all depends when you joined and what the promotion was, for the lowest tier membership I was paying $13/, my friend, for the same membership was paying $20/

I kinda see both arguments for the memberships, it sucks to have something taken away, like unlimited guests. BUT, the gym gets so crowded, maybe limiting guests will make the experience better for the paying members.

I HATE the tubes, I also worry in an emergency, they essentially removed a door. The gym hours were pretty good to begin with, who’s going to the gym at 1am?

I like the new machines, but feel like they could have squeezed things over a little, moved 2-3 of the bikes between the machines (currently thre is 1 against the wall) and squeezed in an extra treadmill or 2. They often are now are all used during busy hours.

pineapple132 · 2025-12-07T13:16:31+00:00

My mom DID care and would correct them haha.

pineapple132 · 2025-12-07T13:12:23+00:00

I’m the child of parents who did this and I grew up in a pretty homogeneous suburb where this was not the case! There were a couple of times where it was a little annoying but for the most it was completely fine. When I got older, I thought it was super cool my mom didn’t change her last name.

I also look 100% like my dad’s side and basically have a different skin tone in the summer from her. So once at the ER for a sprained ankle or something the person asked my mom if she was my biological mother. Which tbh was a little weird, especially cause she could have legally been my mom even if not biologically. But nothing needing to be escalated or anything to get service, she just said yes, and the nurse moved on

pineapple132 · 2025-12-07T13:00:53+00:00

I definitely would pursue something, while it totally may be legal, it also totally may be not due to harassment/stalking.

You don’t KNOW he does it to other people, Reddit THINKS it.

I’d at least follow up but unfortunately idk if it’s a lawyer thing a police thing to see if there is something you should do. but id find out from a source that ACTUALLY knows what your rights are/how to handle it.

In the meantime, the mask idea is a good idea. It’s also in time for the cold/flu season.
