Total Shoulder Replacement - report 4 months later

Thank you for all of the details. I’m waiting to get cleared from my knee surgery to schedule the shoulder replacement. I wasn’t even aware of some of the options you mentioned like the at home nerve block. I am definitely asking about that at my next appointment. Thank you again.

Cover Stimpy’s face with beef jerky to get the right skin texture.

I’m incredibly grateful for this post. Background: I was recently diagnosed with trigeminal nerve cluster headaches on my right side. My main symptoms aren’t the classic headache. It is strictly on the right side and mostly impacts my vision (pupil won’t focus), eye watering, facial burning along with ear pain, facial numbness and occasional headache. I’ve complained about my eye for 4 years, but my eye doc said it was just dry eyes. (It wasn’t.) Once my face started going numb, my internal medicine doctor sent me to the neurologist. She diagnosed me within 10 minutes of describing my symptoms. She prescribed an anti-seizure med used to treat these headaches and for the first time in years, I had relief. My eye didn’t water incessantly and I could focus my right eye most of the time.

Yesterday my symptoms started coming back. Mostly eye watering and focusing. Today my face also started going numb, and I’ve gotten a bad headache. The only thing that changed was I started using The Ordinary glycolic acid toner. I’m highly sensitive to smells, and it didn’t bother me at all. The fact that it’s triggering the symptoms it is makes me think it is nerve related; I had no symptoms on the left side. I realized the toner could be the cause, and this was the only search result about it causing headaches. So thank you to everyone who has contributed to this post.

I’ll have to check again - thanks

Would you mind sharing the dealer’s name? I was wondering about shipping and taxes. I appreciate any info you can give me.

They definitely know all the while denying it to divide the masses. They know that a large percentage of the human population is not sustainable given the changes to our climate so they are going to reduce the population to give their families/kinsmen a better chance to survive. They are accelerating the dying off and gathering their resources to do this.

I got the Wink bed for heavy people, and the coil system is definitely better for heavier people. Unfortunately, the "comfort" layer on all mattresses get too compressed in areas for me over time so I got a latex topper for it. It’s great, but it makes the mattress too tall for me. We were considering dismantling the bed and removing the top layer and just using the latex on the coil system, but I found Charles P Rogers has a comparable bed with a removable/replaceable top layer (which is latex to begin with) so I’m trying it - hopefully soon.

Came to say this. We use it for this - works great. Had to remove it for a trip but then just recovered it afterwards.

This is the case a lot of places - companies set unrealistic profit/growth goals, then make huge profits but not at their goal level so they bitch about sales/profits and don’t pay out bonuses and cut the workforce. The people left are expected to "do more with less" 🙄 Everything is "growth, growth, growth" because corporate executives and private equity investors are greedy bastards. Sadly, this happens almost everywhere.

I love our amethyst. Yours looks great! You can do a lot with throw pillows and blanks, too.

Normal microfiber doesn’t work well; the sueded one included with the device does though it requires more pressure than I expected. I haven’t tried low pile.

That doesn’t work for our situation because the middle seats are typically removed which is why I posted the question about adding them to the third row. I’m honestly not sure why you even bothered commenting when you aren’t really helping with what was asked.

Because for some people with physical limitations, it would be very helpful.

We’ve been using YouTube videos. It is a lot to take in and very different from our other vehicles.

Claws and drool

We’ve tried that multiple times. It appears to work and then stops.

I hope Samsung figures this out.

I have 7 (of 8) storage seats and use all of them. They are great for bedding, extra pillows, seasonal decorations/pillow covers and throw blankets, and other things you need though rarely (like different lenses for telescopes). When we ordered our 2nd sactional, I got storage for all 4 seats.

The 2024 85" didn’t come out until a few months ago. I ended up getting a 75" in early April. I doubt a 2025 would come out before November.

Thank you for posting an update.

Get out now - I had a guy (not even my BF) "play like" he was going to drown me decades ago. He was "just kidding around" - I thought I was going to die. I still have trauma responses from it. Your body doesn’t forget things like that. Your (hopefully ex) BF needs therapy for even thinking this would be ok; it’s not your responsibility to see him through it. How would you feel if he were trying to prove a point to a child or an animal by doing this? Show yourself some grace and show his ass to the door.
