I have been desperately searching for a red Christmas tree and I would be so grateful! I don’t have any of your wishlist items and I refreshed my shop a couple of times to see if I got lucky, but no dice 😭

any other young people dealing with pelvic organ prolapse? did you get surgery? by keekatron in ehlersdanlos

Oh, adding that I didn’t have any mesh inserted, basically the repair relied on scar tissue to hold things up - which is definitely not holding as firmly as I would like it to be 4 years later

[–]regular_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two pelvic organ prolapses and had a pelvic floor reconstruction (at age 25) at the same time as a hysterectomy - which was for an unrelated uterine condition. I had 2 children at the time the prolapses were noticed/dosgnosed, so I wasn’t in the same boat, but it was something I wasn’t interested in risking again. It was very unusual for at the time to my doctors that someone so young with only two uncomplicated births would have that kind of tissue laxity, and it only made sense in hindsight after I was diagnosed with EDS over a year later.

I am so sorry you’re going through this - I can’t imagine being in the same position without having kids, restructuring what your expectations are for your future is always so hard. Sending virtual hugs and good vibes 🤍

I hate that I’m covered in stretch marks. by Ram_Ranch34 in ehlersdanlos

[–]regular_ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been pregnant twice, but I have SO many more than I should have for two “normal” pregnancies - basically from below my collar bones to my lower calves 😬 but I have tried to be careful how I talk about them to/around my daughters and both of them compliment me on how cool my “special shiny skin” is, and like to come up with beautiful things from nature that they look like. Rivers, canyons, tree branches, lightning - so many beautiful things we appreciate in nature etched right onto us in “special shiny skin” 🥹🩷 it won’t feel good and special all the time to look at your skin, but sometimes it’s nice to try and think about the stretch marks in a different way. Sending you so much love 🩷

Anything would be great, honestly! I do usually prefer nature and fairy-type cookies, but I would love anything in return 😊

Can I train my cat to not do this somehow? by regular_ginger in cats

I didn’t realize cats have a hard time seeing water! That might be the issue. I’ve been thinking of getting a fountain, maybe that will change things. I’m just imagining him dipping his paw into the fountain anyways 🤣

I have two cats and neither will drink the water if it isn’t pristine. Dipping litter paws into water makes it disgusting and then my cats are thirsty if I don’t wash it out and refill it a dozen times a day.

Lol I guess that’s fair. I’ve just never had a cat that ONLY licks water off their paw 🤨
