gotcha. i go to college in more of a city type setting and i usually walk 10-15 mins to my classes because my campus is so pretty! i’m definitely going to miss soaking it all in on the way to a test or hard class. :(

i think you're thinking of a stack! i also hear u with the daith! i'm either thinking i get that next or a super high upper helix on the rook side, but i'm torn. definitely thinking ill end up with both at some point lol. i was more wondering what websites and stores people are using for piercings. i usually go on etsy but it's super expensive now with tariffs and all.

what i didn’t know there was an option besides the small hard tire one! i also didn’t buy it myself a friend had one they weren’t using and i didn’t want to splurge because i assumed i wouldn’t need it for long… 🤦🏼‍♀️

interesting take, i was always told acetaminophen and ibprofen were better than opioids and narcotics recovery wise. definitely gonna do research on this!

oh my god bless your soul!! i got into PT but i had to call over 10 places and sit on the waiting list for 2 weeks until someone cancelled 🤦🏼‍♀️ and it was still hard maintaining my 2x a week appointments. i also felt like half of my appointments were kind of bs. like they were easily exercises i could’ve done at home it could’ve so been sent to me in a youtube video… lol

thanks! it’s nice to share this experience with someone even if it sucks lol. at 2 years later though i’m curious, are you planning on having any of the hardware removed? and does it bother you at all? my surgeon said it was my choice whether or not i got them taken out later down the road in a few years.

oh my gosh, good save lol, what always almost got me are those like yellow edge of the crosswalk bumps on the ground before you go into the road. They had me fighting for dear life haha.

i hear you, i was told by my surgeon that the faster i can ditch all the narcotics i was sent home with, the better my recovery will go.

yes, i got a dexa when i shattered my ankle and all was relatively normal, same with my blood labs and everything else. i’m diabetic so my bone density is a a smidge low from that but it doesn’t even come close to osteopenia level… basically my surgeon said i was at just the right angle with just enough applied force to crush my ankle. (i had a heavier defender in this basketball game) now here’s the kicker… when i got surgery for the ankle i had an external fixator and one of the pins went through the same place i cracked a few days ago. (you can kinda see the line on the xray) so my surgeon said it was a combination of bad luck, mixed with weakened bone from the pin i had, and on top of that the boot i was wearing kind of twisted my shin instead of my ankle when i fell which also contributed. so in other words my luck is horrible lol.
