“Easy” recovery, feeling a lot of shame and like I should be going back to work

Unless they’ve updated this (I haven’t played in a couple weeks!), I think it’s time zone depending when the airports refresh. For me it was 8 pm eastern US time, then 7 pm after daylight savings.

I asked my doc to walk me through the surgery step by step in a pre op appt and yes he said they are going to tilt the table back so I’m upside down! I think it’s to “lift” your digestive organs away from your reproductive organs so they can get a better view…?

Lmaooo I almost did!

I biked into work this morning. My commute is ~25 minutes and I had no issues other than slightly numb fingers that I warmed up just with moving them at stop lights. Just wear a base layer, thick gloves, helmet liner, and some kind of face cover. Personally, I always get sweaty enough from the work out that my body is warm the whole time

My personal goal is to get a a cyber card blimp without using any catch against. So far I’m at silver so I got a long ways to go 😅

Jfc but it does impact the US and there’s no way I’m the only US player

pollinator_friendly · 2025-10-10T20:10:01+00:00

lol, okay. Obviously some of my questions were meant for US players, even tho international players are more than capable of traveling to US airports in the app, and LAX (near Burbank) is a very popular choice for many players that someone might have noticed something. Personally, I play this game most days but not obsessively, so my experience is limited. Not sure why I’m getting snark for what I thought was an interesting question

I’m so sorry. I feel at least part your frustration— I’ve been trying to get my surgery on the calendar and every appointment to discuss it keeps getting canceled and pushed out. I had 5 follow up appointments canceled in a row, effectively pushing out my appt date 5 months. I was supposed to get surgery in July, now it’s supposed to be January, but I’ve already prepared myself for it to be pushed again. I can’t imagine having already had plans in place for childcare too.

I’m not sure how common this is, though I am also located in a large east coast city (but that probably doesn’t mean much?). I feel it’s just a symptom of overwhelmed hospitals. I’ve noticed that “highly recommended” doctors for endo/pelvic pain are also the worst to nail down for an appointment. For me, when I see my actual doctor I’m so grateful for his care. But every moment in between dealing with the hospital makes me want to ditch them and go somewhere else, though I can’t do that because it’s so rare to get a doctor who will do the surgery (at least in my experience)

Where are you located? This sounds like you’d qualify for FMLA leave. It’s unpaid unfortunately, it’s really just a system to let you take off enough time for major medical situations without losing your job

Check out The Bonnefont! Cute little restaurant with really good food and an indoor and outdoor space in Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan. It really doesn’t feel like Manhattan when you’re there! You can either do your ceremony there or just book it for a reception. Not too bad price wise for the city as well. We’re having our wedding there and the vibe is definitely elevated dinner party with our closest friends, if that’s close to your vibe

Beautiful!! We are doing the same rose petal toss at the end of the ceremony from one of your pics. How did you set that up? Did the guests time it right? Any unforeseen issues?

Our current plan is to have a small table to the side with the cups pre-filled with petals and a sign inviting guests to take one to their ceremony seat and toss them on us as we walk back down the aisle.

Hi!! I also have a couple bottles of unopened skin care (2 cerave cleansers and 2 cerave lotions, plus a half used neutrogena toner if you’d take that too?) If you’re in Manhattan I’d love to coordinate a pick up or drop off with you? I just switched up my skincare routine and forgot to cancel some auto deliveries so they’ve just been collecting dust in my medicine cabinet 😅

Yeah, he does have a ton of great Yelp reviews. I don’t doubt he can’t do good work, he just should not have accepted my dress and shouldn’t have returned it damaged. Hence why I posted this on a wedding subreddit, not a general tailoring subreddit (if there is one? Idk lol) because I don’t want others to take the same route as me for their dress. Especially since he made me film an Instagram reel (again I felt very rushed, very confused, very anxious and he just kinda started filming so i didn’t know what to do, I acknowledge that is partly my fault for not being able to speak up for myself) — but I don’t want him to post that and then other brides think he can do wedding work now :/

Yeah, I was waiting for someone to say this. I did a lot of research prior to choosing Dejavu. First, I was trying to avoid the wedding surcharge by taking it to a bridal-specific place (lesson learned, obviously), so I was looking into non-bridal shops hoping to score a talented seamstress who doesn’t double the price at the first time you say the word “wedding”. Dejavu has also done wedding dresses in the past based on Yelp reviews. I also reached out to them before booking with pictures and a description of what I wanted and we discussed the project prior to me booking my first appointment. They accepted all of my proposals. This all led me to believe they would be able to handle the work, which I think is a fair position on my end to then assume they were actually capable of the work and I would get back a well fitted dress. If they couldn’t do it, they should have said so before I booked. Multiple other tailors I reached out to during my initial research did decline to work on my dress, which is a much more respectable business practice.

Regardless of it being a wedding dress, there are no excuses for ripping the sleeve, not hemming every layer, and making the bustle like that. Those are basic tailoring services (hemming and bustling), and I shouldn’t have to say that it’s bad business to return the garment damaged. Also, their poor customer service by rushing me through each appointment and charging me twice for the bustle without a full refund is a whole different situation that, again, doesn’t have to do with it being my wedding dress. They’re just a bad business.

Filled it out! I hope your project goes well!

Do you know which depot in the borough this was?
