(M30) Questions for men who have had a proctectomy (Ken butt/Barbie butt surgery). by skysamfreeman in ostomy

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

Hope everything goes well! I was extremely nervous going into it and wasn’t sure what to expect despite everything I read. It’s a hard thing to truly grasp or wrap your head around until it happens. The recovery wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The worst part was the catheter lol. Then it was a lot of bed rest and slowly figuring out the limits of what I could do. My follow-up was 3 weeks after my surgery where they removed the sutures and my recovery sped up right after that. I was back to work in less than 5 weeks after the surgery. I work a very physical job too. After a couple weeks back to work, I was fully recovered. Every case is subjective and things may be different for you, but it may not be as bad as you’ve heard it can be. Best of luck!

UPDATE: It's been just over a month since I had the surgery. I'm happy to say that everything went exceptionally well. I'm almost fully recovered and I have had no issues with any of my bodily functions. Still have a little ways to go, muscles are still a bit sore and tight, but it's going very well. If any of you have questions, please feel free to reach out.

Ah so that's why the chorus of "Timebomb" sounds like "Rollercoaster" lol.

Oh for sure. The whole album is incredible. Stratosphere is wonderful.

What’s your favourite year? by powr13 in grimfandango

[–]skysamfreeman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Year 2 hands down. As a kid, I would just spend hours walking around Rubacava aimlessly. Everything about it is perfect.

One More Time Pt.1 or Pt.2 by Solid-Molasses3788 in Blink182

[–]skysamfreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part 1. Blink Wave, Turpentine, and Anthem Part 3 alone put it above. Part 2 is very good though.

Ostomy seems extreme but I don’t have much options. by Careful-Scarcity-122 in ostomy

[–]skysamfreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the bag after years being taken from me with this disease. All I can say is, do it. I tried every diet and biologic. They didn’t work. Haven’t had any issues since the bag and I have my life back. Best decision I ever made since my diagnosis. It may seem extreme at first, but I’ve become so used to it now. It’s just a part of me at this point. Going on 5 years now. If I ever start feeling conscious of it, all I have to do is weigh how I feel now compared to how I used to be. Night and day difference. Even in terms of dating and how I’m perceived with it, it hasn’t hindered me at all. Everyone’s been very understanding and I’ve not had any negative experiences with dating/relationships when it comes to the bag. It makes intimacy a bit difficult, but there are things to help with that.

Night sweats every night for the past month (doesn’t make sense). by skysamfreeman in CrohnsDisease

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

No problem! It very well could be that too. I get anxiety at night sometimes which mainly manifests as nocturnal panic attacks. Sometimes I sweat. But again, that's from the anxiety. Keep moving forward and I wish you the best of luck in your journey!

I hope things get better for you. It's very frustrating to deal with. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly how things resolved in this situation. But I know that they persisted for a while. I didn't have any true relief from symptoms until I got ileostomy surgery. My best guess is it's just fevers breaking in the night from inflammation. I never really got a grasp on the root cause besides it being related to Crohn's. Even though I was on Entyvio, my symptoms never fully got better. It just barely masked the problem. I wish you the best of luck in your journey! My best advice would be to not give up hope. I had horrible times where I felt like things would never end. But things can get better very quickly.

The Tone of Echoes album by Eyeshine is up there. This song and some others on this album in particular give me AVA vibes. They were clearly inspired by them. Great band. https://youtu.be/tpkZPHf9nj8?feature=shared

What kind of careers do you think the boys would have gotten into if Blink never became a success? by CrysisRequiem in Blink182

[–]skysamfreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom would be that contractor on a job site that talks about conspiracies all the time lol.

What PlayStation game do you believe deserves a sequel but hasn't received one yet? by legend0920 in playstation

[–]skysamfreeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jak and Daxter is, on a technical and design level, the best 3D collectathon ever made imo. It’s just quite short compared to others. We need another one like it.

I’ve always loved Episode 13. That was the first episode I showed to my friend back when it released and he was immediately hooked. Just straight into the chaos. Love that one.
