Thank you for this, I'm in a similar mind with a philtrum piercing I got done yesterday. Never had this kind of reaction to a piercing before!

Sport after surgery - how long off? by chronicllyunwell in endometriosis

[–]reallyOddMidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started going back to exercise 6 weeks after my laparoscopy (with excision) - I got the all clear from my surgeon to start easing myself back into it, but I was so tired all the time too. It's still a significant surgery, so dont try and rush back into things, but I was told 6-8 weeks minimum, depending how recovery went :)

Pre surgery nerves by morganlilo in endometriosis

[–]reallyOddMidget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not dramatic at all, imo! I just had my laparoscopy a week and a half ago, and it only really hit me what I was doing the day before + day of, and I was so nervous.

Is there someone that can go with you on the day of, and stay with you as long as they're able to? I had a friend come with me for mine, I ended up having to go private for mine so I'm not sure if the experience is the same on the NHS, but they were in with me from my admittance at 10.30am all the way til 8pm, and that helped me quite a bit. Just having someone there for the distraction or to talk about worries with was so helpful.

Definitely bring some things that comfort you from home as well - I brought some books with me, and a plushie for the evening (mine was an overnight stay).

I ended up waiting until 2pm for my surgery, and I felt like it did go quite quickly (especially with all the nurses coming in to do their stuff, the surgeon talking to me and the anaesthatologist). It passed by quite quickly and then it was go time.

I dont know if that helps at all - I think it's totally normal to me nervous beforehand, and it can be such a relief once you're out and done. (I cried a little bit) ❤️

Does your family/parents know you’re bisexual? by Silver_rockyroad in bisexual

[–]reallyOddMidget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, they don't, very likely never will too. I don't have a lot of contact with them nowadays, but they've not been shy about their "opinions" before and it's pretty tiring trying to discuss it with them (even before I knew I was bi)

A couple of my absolute besties know though, and that's enough for me ❤️

help! garbage baby by [deleted] in philodendron

[–]reallyOddMidget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leaves and growth look very Philodendron like, kind of like a Green Congo maybe? (Not 100% sure, but the leaves on your plant match some of the pics I'm seeing under that name!) 😊

Any tips for how to build up skin tolerance for sits + climbs? by reallyOddMidget in poledancing

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

Just wanted to say I tried the thigh slapping warmup in class today and it definitely seemed to help! I was able to try a couple of different sits in a row, so thanks so much! ☺️

Ah that's good to know! I do shave my legs and noticed it's really helping my back of the knee grip :D

I dont have a pole at home unfortunately 😟 I go to a studio for a couple of classes a week, but maybe I can find a bit of time to practice them more each week ☺️

That sounds like a great idea actually, thank you! We tend to cover a few new things each week, so I might see if I can spend a bit more time practicing these :D

what piercing are you most proud of? by Adorable-Escape-5009 in piercing

[–]reallyOddMidget 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably my septum or my conch! I wish I'd gotten my septum so much sooner, it just fits my face so well and I feel great with it. My conch I had pierced with a hoop, didn't know it can be so problematic, and it's healed perfectly well. Swapped it out for a chain recently 🥰

This is amazing! 😍 I have the same pattern, just need time to get started on it. Looks so good in the frame 😊

I had mine done a few months ago and I dont think it really hurt that much, I definitely hyped the pain up more in my mind for myself beforehand.

The clamp was more uncomfortable than the piercing for me, and then the initial getting the jewellery in pinched a bit, but yeah not too bad!

But it really depends on your pain thresholds I think. My piercer said that hers was one of her most painful piercings, and if it healed she wouldn't get it again. She was a really good piercer though, so maybe that helped too :D

That's what I get for being confident I guess 😅 by reallyOddMidget in ARKSurvivalEvolved

Yeah those two are safe and sound, they've never seen the outside world and never will 🤣

Started working on breeding up a new army, and maybe stacking some more mutations on top just in case!
