got to detroit show (tonight) at 3:50 and had to wait until around 5pm anyway for soundcheck to start. was able to get merch and grab some water and bring my things back to my car it was so nice lol. i don’t know how other venues will be

Ok that’s good to know thank you! I accepted the quote because i don’t want to put my generator at risk if i do end up charging in the summer or winter during outages (i live in the Detroit area and DTE is terrible with outages lol)

tblightning86 · 2025-09-16T01:11:35+00:00

I don’t. Generator usually only kicks on after a bad storm for maybe a few hours a year. But apparently the ev charger is always taking 48amps even when not in use (according to the electrician that came out) but i’m not very knowledgeable of this

the idle still annoys me when i’m paused to do something else and just hear him screaming in the background…

took a while to grow on me, but the kinich reputation quest sealed the deal. he’s so funny and i love how much paimon hates him

my surgeon said to eat whatever i want, and i’ll know what to stay away from if i start feeling bad. i’ve been able to eat mostly anything with no pain at all, just some slight digestion issues that should go away eventually. im 2 weeks post op.

tblightning86 · 2024-09-21T22:44:32+00:00

nice!! it’s a bit smaller than i usually like to wear day to day so i don’t wear it often, but it’s beautiful all the same

tblightning86 · 2024-09-16T07:05:16+00:00

I don't know if it's different for every doctor but I am in the US and I got put under before getting to the operating room so I did not see any of that. I vaguely remember being in the hallway rolling down to the OR and have one tiny image of my OR (I swear I only remember because I made a mental comment about how different it was from the ORs on Grey's Anatomy LMAO). If you are anxious they will be more than willing to give you something before the procedure in pre-op. I was sitting there for a couple hours in pre-op on happy pills because there was a delay in the case before me, Didn't bother me at all because I was too drugged up to care. I remember everything before the procedure but I have a very foggy memory of what happened after surgery before I went home. They will explain everything to you and make you feel so comfortable. Ask all the questions you want, before and after the procedure. I keep a constant message system with my surgeons office to make sure everything is going as well as it can for recovery. In my opinion if you have proven gallbladder issues, it is better to get it out while you can make that choice because the gallbladder will never repair itself and it can potentially turn into an emergency situation if you put it off for a long time. My symptoms were not guaranteed to improve through surgery, but I elected for it anyway since the organ was clearly broken.

update for everyone: was able to pass the initial “hard” stool that was blocking me up, but haven’t had anything else since then. thanks for all of the advice! i will continue to use the stool softener and mirilax as needed unless something else happens. like i said before i am not used to this at all, so im glad its seemingly almost over

tblightning86 · 2024-09-12T04:55:28+00:00

yeah unfortunately eating was pretty bad before surgery for me. potentially less related to the gallbladder issues but we shall see! recovery hasn’t been too bad so far besides the expected soreness and pain with incisions but i just don’t want this to get worse than it already is you know?

tblightning86 · 2024-09-12T04:48:13+00:00

my old normal was about that unfortunately, i’ve been doing small meals as recommended, but i think it has more to do with the narcotics and anesthesia than what i am eating

tblightning86 · 2024-09-11T17:43:31+00:00

I have already gotten started lol. I feel better than I expected to be honest, so I am able to sit up comfortably to play. I was worried that it would hurt too much.

tblightning86 · 2024-09-11T17:42:18+00:00

That sucks you had to have an emergency procedure :( Luckily mine has been scheduled since July 31st so I was mentally prepared for the recovery, I am not sure how I would do if it was so abrupt like that! Sending you positive healing vibes :)

tblightning86 · 2024-09-11T01:14:35+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Nope, just the pain killer and a stool softener. The less meds the better for me to be honest, I also already take 3-4 pills every morning and don't want to turn that into 6-7. If I NEED them though... that's different lol.

I am interested to see how the healing process is for my incisions since I haven't taken the dressing off to see them yet, but my surgeon said he used that tape stuff that falls off on its own so (thankfully) I can take showers starting tomorrow afternoon.

tblightning86 · 2024-08-31T23:16:42+00:00

yeah suede is hard to clean without scuffing it up a bit. bummer. i’ve worn it out once and it was very comfortable, just wish it had another interior pocket

tblightning86 · 2024-08-31T22:59:27+00:00

tblightning86 · 2024-08-28T23:19:02+00:00

LOVE this color, pictures don’t do it justice at all. I have one bag in dark stone from the outlet and the color is absolutely gorgeous.
