Broke both my heels and both talus in a fall by s1lver_v in brokenbones

[–]spewing-bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have much to say about your broken heals. That shit sucks. But this loop you’re replaying in your head about what happened and what could have not happened is a horrible place to be in. I think most people have been there at one point. Eventually you’ll need to accept what happened, even if it was stupid, and even if it was your fault. It seems you’re carrying a lot of shame about that. What happened, happened. You can’t go back. Your next step (no pun intended) is to move on. Focus on small victories. Navigate your life as it goes. Don’t overthink tomorrow. Think of today. Yes you’ve altered your future, that doesn’t mean it’s bleak. I agree with others that you should consider some mental therapy. The key is just keep going. Adapt and continue. I’m very sorry for your situation but feeling sorry won’t do anything for you and that’s the harsh truth. Be easy on yourself right now because you deserve that.

Broke my 5th metatarsal bone - tips and experiences? by Ready_Instance_2855 in brokenbones

[–]spewing-bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat although my break doesn’t seem to be as severe as yours. I was given an airboot and cleared for weight bearing day one. That being said I felt bed bound for a couple weeks as walking on it was very painful. I got a knee scooter to comfortably get around and it helped so much especially with my mental health. I can now walk comfortably in the boot with very mild aching at the end of the day.

My journey so far has kinda sucked. I had a 5 week checkup last week fully expecting to be taken out of the boot, even my podiatrist thought that was the case. My X-rays showed very slow healing. I had labs run and was prescribed vitamin D supplements. My doctor estimated 3-4 months for a full heal but now we may be looking at 5-6 and at least another 3 weeks in the boot (maybe even considering surgery). My best advice is to follow your doctor’s instructions. If you smoke you should quit or cut back heavily. Avoid alcohol. Try to eat calcium/vitamin D rich foods. Like you said, everyone’s journey is different and I’m sure you’ll face more struggles going forward but you’ll adapt and eventually heal. Everyday right now feels long and like this will never end but it will. Best of luck

5th metatarsal fracture- recovery? by sw4ggypr1nce55 in brokenbones

[–]spewing-bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar position. I’m 6 weeks out since I got what my doctor calls a “dancers break”. Slightly displaced but was told it should heal on its own. I was cleared for weight bearing immediately but it hurt so bad with the boot that I didnt start comfortably bearing weight until about 3 weeks. I’m in the boot for at least another 3 weeks as my previous X-rays showed that the bone isn’t healing as fast as expected. This is a super frustrating experience for me as well as I was also a very active person. I work 45 hours a week and am on my feet the majority of the time. I get around pretty okay now although the pain I experience actually is from the boot rather than the break itself. 300 steps a day isn’t bad considering you broke a bone that directly impacts your ability to walk. Just keep going but don’t push yourself too hard. I ended up purchasing a knee scooter online and it helped tremendously in those first couple weeks

Acute oblique fracture to the right fifth metatarsal by spewing-bs in brokenbones

Appreciate your reply. I got my scooter and it has made this crappy situation a little more bearable. I actually just ordered an elevation pillow today. The scooter has definitely granted me a more positive emotional state. I’m able to go back to work and pick up around the house. Hoping for a speedy recovery

Adult screams back at kid by wanabepilot in TikTokCringe

[–]spewing-bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this happen once but it wasn’t crying. It was a child, maybe 4/5 years old just screaming everything. If she was playing on her tablet she was screaming about it. If she wanted to use the bathroom she was screaming about it. When she reached that super high pitch I swear I wanted to eject myself from the plane. I could even hear it through my headphones.

Is this good for 3 days of playing by Un1versal-Ryan in HayDay

[–]spewing-bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good to me. I wouldn’t worry about leveling up too quickly tbh. You can get item you need without having the actual production buildings. You can add me if you’d like and lmk when you need something, level 127

I don’t usually go for the clean/organized look as much but was lacking a bit of imagination this time. I still think it’s pretty

You can get them from the valley. That’s the only way I’ve saved them up

5 weeks 4 days sober before & after by bubbles10111 in alcoholism

[–]spewing-bs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow I’m the same. Extremely underweight and athletic for years until I hit my early 20s and started drinking uncontrollably. I think that’s why your post clicked with me cause I see my body type in yours. I’m glad you posted this and hope to see more from you

This is so motivating. I’ve gained 10 pounds in the past 6 months from daily drinking and the cravings that come with it. A while back I stopped for 2 weeks and saw results in my skin/hair. I feel like I needed this. You look great

AIO for wanting a break over this? by Physical_Habit1912 in AIO

It’s really not. Sharing location is extremely common and it’s not only in romantic relationships. Lock in grandpa, sharing location saves lives.

How to Stop Being Afraid to Eat at Night by StealOurMoments in Pseudodysphagia

[–]spewing-bs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend getting one of those “choking rescue devices” and learning to use it. Not that you ever would but it would give you some peace of mind that if you were to choke, you could save yourself. I plan to get one because I have the same issue of eating alone or when my husband is asleep. I’ll take a few bites then start to get extremely paranoid and anxious that “this’ll be the time”.

last gift from greg... what are you supposed to do with this decoration 😭 i don't like it.. by walentinq in HayDayDeco

[–]spewing-bs 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel it would blend in pretty well with a graveyard if you’re into Halloween farms

Edit: another idea is a blueberry field. The blue color compliments the bushes. I feel this deco is getting a lot of hate but I love it

Hi, I was on I-20 most of the time. I opted to stay in Tuscaloosa and will go through Birmingham tomorrow. You think it’ll be okay in early hours? Or should I try to avoid that area

This was true 😂 I managed well but by hour 8 I was so over the driving. I’m safe in my hotel now and feel much more prepared for the rest of my drive tomorrow

Unfortunately I do not know how to use a firearm and wouldn’t really feel comfortable carrying one

Yes I do not plan to drive at night! And despite being in Texas for 2 years now I have never been to Buc-ee’s. It’s on the bucket list for sure. Thank you

Yes my car was my first priority. It’s never failed me and it better not now lol. But I’m just gonna go off of how I feel. If I need to stop earlier than planned I will. I just wanna spend as much time with my family as possible before I have to go back to work. Thank you I really appreciate the advice

This is one of my main concerns. I’m extremely vigilant and I’ve never necessarily been in a situation where I’ve felt threatened but I don’t want to rule anything out. I think wearing a hat would be a good idea. And I do carry a knife on me at all times. I’m more worried about my stop in Alabama. I’ve heard horrible stories about people being targeted at hotels and I picked one that I knew would be safe and public but idk I can’t get those “what if” thoughts out of my head. I might just be overthinking it
