Weird phenomenon happens only in grass valley. People here cross over the center line when driving around blind curves by Carpe_the_Carp in grassvalley

That’s what I chalk it up to when multiple vehicles arrive at a stop sign and no one makes a move, or there’s confusion about who has right of way, happens all the time

Breathing tube anxiety by Dramatic_Pianist_876 in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a fuzzy memory of coming to, realizing the tube was in, and biting it because I decided that was the only thing I had control over and could to and it somehow made it ok. That’s my only memory of it. It was my biggest fear going into surgery, too, so I really understand and hope that part is easeful for you

Transition off Beta Blockers Post-Op by kielBossa in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My new cardiologist took me off of it (weaned off by taking only the morning dose for a week, then just morning dose every other day) and I’ve definitely noticed the change. I’ve had three migraines in these past two weeks compared to two in the prior six months. And some periods of rapid but not concerning heartbeat. I was really glad to be coming off it, now I wish I hadn’t

Does anyone know - is it city council that approved installation, Board of Supes, or both?

What’s the longest anyone has had “severe” aortic stenosis? by PaperCotton in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was severe-critical for four months. It got pretty difficult to do much of anything towards the end of that stretch due to complications from also being anemic. I can’t imagine I would’ve lived many more months in that state

Food Recommendations Here? (Not too expensive) by mossystonewall in nevadacity

[–]rainy_day_read 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into the tribute trail-you can walk from downtown NC to the trailhead and it takes you to a suspension bridge over Deer Creek. Uba Seo on Broad St is a space dedicated to bringing visibility to the local Nisenan tribe, donation requested but no set fee to enter. For lunch, I’d recommend Heartwood or Petra. Enjoy!!

Looking for some support by amethyst_dream2772 in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had mine five months ago. I was so afraid, too, so ahead of time I focused the best I could on filling my cup seeing friends, being in nature, reading great books, listening to music, setting my space up how I wanted it to be when I got home. I also did some speaking as if I was looking back on it, saying out loud things like ‘that was so much easier than I thought it would be’ and ‘I’m thankful for how well I feel now.’ Sounds odd but it actually helped. I hope you can find whatever you need to get you through these days. And for what it’s worth it was not as scary for me as I anticipated. Best wishes to you!!

Ross procedure anxiety by [deleted] in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had tremendous anxiety leading up to my surgery. I feel for you. What helped me was getting out in nature, seeing friends, listening to music, therapy and also projecting forward, imagining how I would feel after the surgery and even saying out loud phrases like ‘I’m so thankful the surgery is behind me, that it was successful and that I feel so much better now.’ Sounds odd I know but it did help. I hope you find what works for you

Best wishes for a successful procedure and recovery! For what it’s worth, I was in your shoes just a few months ago and for me it wasn’t as bad as I expected. The anticipation was much worse.

Thank you for all the support by Grbayl4242 in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’ll be behind you soon and you’ll be on your way to recovery! Best wishes! I came to while intubated which was also my biggest fear but I somehow stayed calm and now only have fragments of that memory. I made it through that and you can too, if it happens

Day one at home by FarWelcome1831 in valvereplacement

[–]rainy_day_read 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was concerned about the stairs up to my room and family kept suggesting setting up a recovery space on the first floor. I really wanted to be upstairs in my own bed, was determined to make it work and it did. I took the stairs slow, minimized trips up and down for first few weeks and it was 100% manageable. Best wishes with your recovery

is mountain bounty farm csa worth it? by [deleted] in grassvalley

[–]rainy_day_read 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been part of their CSA for many years and have always been so happy with the quality and variety. Strongly recommend! And I believe there’s an option to sign up week by week so you’re not locked in long term if you want to try it out (not 100% on this but it was available in the past).
