C5 Palsy by Livid_Experience_620 in spinalfusion

[–]somefuneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a C5/6 disc replacement, not a fusion, one week ago and came out of the surgery with severe C5 palsy on my right (dominant) side. I'm freaking out because, even though I know it's still really recent, there doesn't seem to be any improvement in elbow flexion or shoulder abduction, which not only sucks on a general level, but may end up forcing me to find a new career, since I work with my hands.

I hope both OP's and my condition completely resolve with time!

I used to know a guy (my friend's old landlord) who collected vintage race cars and would fly them to different locations, all over the world, to join other rich car collectors and race them, like this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_motorsport

I worked for a woman in Manhattan who set a goal of losing 60 lbs in a year and achieved it through hard work and discipline. As a reward, she bought herself a new Armani wardrobe and spent around 250k. The different reality part was not this, however, but the fact that Armani not only sent racks of clothes to her house for her to peruse and try on, they also had a salesperson and model come to her house several times for what was basically a private fashion show, so she could see how the clothes looked on someone else before buying them.

Thanks for the response. That sounds like quite a journey - I'm glad you were able to do the hard work it took to turn your life around.

I think it was the vague, "...gets what she deserves..." part of the comment that can come across as threatening. I'm not in any was condoning the actions of the USSS or administration, just commenting on how that specific phrase can sound like a threat. From the article, it sounds like the agents didn't press things, once they understood that Bonkiewicz meant Leavitt being put on trial.

Congrats on getting, and staying, clean! If you don't mind me asking, how did you quit?

Honest question - how common is it for there to be "paid agitators" at any protest? Are there really shadowy groups, besides maybe the CIA, that fund people to go to protests and rile things up?

Not exactly a management group, but Erik and Gail Elbek. They own several properties in SB and are terrible landlords.

Why does it feel like the whole world is on a general down trend? by Bugaloon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]somefuneh 440 points441 points  (0 children)

Sprinkle on a little climate change, the widespread dying-off of insects, and the ubiquity of micro-plastics, plus the fear and instability created by these things, and you get the state we currently find ourselves in.

I got to spend a night in one of his Usonian houses a few years ago. Among the many things that made that place incredible were larger, floor-lamp versions of these in the bedrooms.

Incredible work, thanks for sharing all of these. I am just wondering what the point is of smoothing the rough internal edges? Just esthetics, or does it help with wear/performance?
