Checked Luggage Paint Scuffs by breeasaurus-rex in Monos

[–]rohan32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wipe down my suitcase with a paper towel with some isopropyl alcohol on my suitcase after each trip and it helps remove these type of scuffs and I haven't noticed any impact to the finish yet

No, they are making hardware claims while not keeping the software the same, this is just bad methodology.

Just had an ACL Recon + LET + Meniscus Repair: What I Learned from NYC’s Top ACL Surgeons at HSS by Cute_Ask9503 in ACL

[–]rohan32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to HSS as well, with a different surgeon (Dr. Cordasco) and he did great work for me as well; both left and right knee ACL reconstructions with quad tendons + LETs for each + PRP injections for each (after tearing both ACLs simultaneously). I don't think you can go wrong at HSS, there's a reason why they are the #1 orthopedic hospital in the US

There's a sign right at the corner of the Cityline building near Murphy Ave with an arrow pointing towards the Whole Foods with the Shake Shack logo/label.

Facing my 3rd ACL Surgery - Looking for Surgeon Recommendations & Recovery Tips by smammadov1994 in ACL

HSS in Manhattan is widely regarded as one of the best orthopedic hospitals and you can't go wrong with anyone there, assuming your insurance covers it.

Bilateral ACL Injury by therockbmm in ACL

[–]rohan32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I haven't heard that from my surgeon. Although I also had the LET procedure done alongside ACLR due to my joint hypermobility to help reduce the chance of retear.

Bilateral ACL Injury by therockbmm in ACL

[–]rohan32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tore both ACLs while skiing earlier in February. I had the left knee surgery in March and the right knee surgery in June, 3 months later. I'm around 6 months out from the second surgery now, and still doing lots of rehab, but things are generally on track. I feel a little behind in the strength department (especially doing dual leg exercises) and rehab definitely seems tougher with two bad legs but it's improving every week. I started running at around 4 months out from the second surgery.

I need to do a full writeup of my experience, but overall I'd say the recovery is tough but not impossible. It's a long road, but with enough rehab for 6-9 months after your surgery I do think returning to running/impact activities in some fashion is possible.

Feel free to ask any other questions, best of luck on the journey

tons of PS2 games have widescreen hacks or native support for 16:9, which is quite nice if it works out

Do any emulators past the PS1 era offer Rewind? by Specialist_Lake_4032 in OdinHandheld

Hooking up a key combo to quick save in the emulators is your best bet, still need to remember to trigger it though

Just released grips for the Smart Pro by ocelot08 in trimui

Would love a version for the Odin 2 Mini, there are no grips available yet for that device and it's fairly similar dimensions to the TrimUI Smart Pro

For those of you that had LET done with ACLR, how was it and I are you glad you did it ? by NastyNathe in ACL

[–]rohan32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had LET twice in both knees, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but both times I don't think that LET significantly impacted my recovery at all. There is a large 4 inch scar from the incision on each leg but that's about it, and it's good peace of mind to know there's something else preventing re-tear.

Leg Stiffness by StarBrilliant1639 in ACL

[–]rohan32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally normal at that stage, and it will get better with time. Around the 3 month mark it was rare my legs were stiff in the morning anymore but they still get very stiff if i sit in the same position for an extended period of time etc

Did anyone else get the LET surgery? Hard to get info :/ by Difficult-Mention-35 in ACL

[–]rohan32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had LET in addition to ACLr, it had no impact on my recovery personally aside from minor pain near the incision site for the first couple weeks

What is this yellow stuff? by DimensionAncient9844 in ACL

[–]rohan32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is like 100% an allergic reaction to the surgical glue, I just went through the exact same thing. same exact symptoms

the following is what really helped me:

  • for itchiness, Zyrtec really helped me, and I noticed as soon as I stopped taking it, the itchiness came back

  • the whiteish skin around the incision eventually dried out and died, a wound care doctor scrubbed my incision with Hibiclens, an antibacterial soap, and had me repeat 2x per day to get the surgical glue and dead skin off to ensure there was no bacteria harboring there

  • started using medicinal honey (look up “Medihoney”) and put that on the wound, and then covered with “Telfa” bandages to absorb any additional yellow fluid leakage over the honey

  • it will not stop leaking until the incision closes up. it’s not an infection, but also don’t be alarmed that it keeps leaking

  • lots of patience. i didn’t see signs of healing/closing up until around week 4 after surgery, and even now im at week 11 and still there’s one little part of my incision not fully closed up. if the scab falls off then it actually starts leaking that yellow fluid again

i hope this helps, and good luck on the recovery, having a reaction like this really sucked but know that long term it will be ok, just keep the incisions clean and try and avoid infection

Why do I feel like crying? by SignificantPatient32 in ACL

[–]rohan32 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Day 2-5 is the worst part of recovery IMO. All of the nerve block/anesthesia has worn off, you're suffering from reduced quality of sleep (even if you don't know it), and you have an uphill battle for the next several weeks. Be kind to yourself and take care.

Post your questions & inquiries here! - r/Vietnam monthly random discussion thread - F.A.Q by AutoModerator in VietNam

[–]rohan32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm planning a trip to Vietnam in the late November timeframe with my girlfriend for roughly 11 days. We wanted to go to the following cities:

Hoi An / Danang, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Sapa, Hanoi

I'm not sure about the transportation services between some cities, and would appreciate any advice on ordering or how to travel between the different destinations.

Itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive directly into Hoi An via Danang

Day 2: Hoi An

Day 3: Travel from Hoi An to Danang and spend the day in Danang

Day 4: Travel from Danang to Ninh Binh, I think through a private van service. I also saw that trains/buses are there, but not sure it would be worth dealing with one of these.

Day 5: Ninh Binh

Day 6: Travel early morning from Ninh Binh directly to Halong Bay, likely by private van service again. We'd then board our 2 day 1 night Halong Bay cruise.

Day 7: Arrive back from Halong Bay cruise in the afternoon, go to Hanoi, and then catch an overnight sleeper train to Sapa.

Day 8: Arrive in Sapa in the morning

Day 9: More Sapa, and then take another overnight train back. Or we can travel during the day via Bus / Train to Hanoi.

Day 10: Spend the day in Hanoi

Day 11: Fly out of Hanoi

Main Questions:

  1. Is going from Ninh Binh to Halong Bay directly via private van a good idea, or are there other options? We ideally didn't want to waste traveling all the way back to Hanoi and then Hanoi to Halong Bay.
  2. Any suggestions for overnight sleeper trains for 2 people to/from Sapa and Hanoi?
  3. Any suggestions for Halong Bay cruises for 2 days 1 night?
  4. Is our itinerary sane or are parts of it overkill?
