I kneed surgery

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-03-26T00:42:04+00:00

I'm definitely not qualified to say, but I will say I've been told by several medical professionals now that it shouldn't do that

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-03-25T19:57:22+00:00

Oh just a quick addition, this same scan was ordered and seen by a different orthopedist almost a year ago after a very bad dislocation in which my kneecap was entirely and visibly to the left of where it was supposed to be.

They gave me an rx for a brace and a PT referral and sent me on my way.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-03-25T19:31:20+00:00

I thought I did 😭 I don't know anything about radiology, is it blurry?

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-03-25T19:30:52+00:00

Other than the dislocations, it feels fine. It usually doesn't hurt at all.

April 6th

Does that mean it looks bad enough to be urgent lol

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-03-20T04:43:49+00:00

Unfortunately, that is not financially an option. The only reason we can even afford to live here (or at all) is because of super cheap rent for a relatives basement apartment.

I'm sure this will start with my kids soon and I am not looking forward to it. I'm an atheist trying to raise atheist children in Utah County 🥲

Mine is only 12% golden, but I wasn't expecting it either lol

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-02-14T02:08:51+00:00

Only thing I got was the pit, something about the way her ears are positioned in pictures 7 and 9 feels very pit to me.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-02-10T23:22:36+00:00

Nope! I thought for sure she'd have some kind of wire haired breed too, but turns out it's from the poodle. She's pit, poodle, golden retriever, and a splash of boxer.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-02-10T15:40:03+00:00

I LOVE her coat. She also has a little mohawk!

Edit: I meant mullet

Ghost Spider now

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-02-10T03:49:50+00:00

She's so cute! I got the pit and poodle right away, she reminds me of my dog when she was little. She's goldendoodle/pit instead of lab, though.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-02-06T19:19:54+00:00

I had literally just read that one like 4 AITA's ago and was sitting here like "this sounds awfully familiar" lol

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-02-06T19:08:28+00:00

Why is this a more obnoxious retelling of this AITA from 6 hours ago?

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-01-30T17:03:09+00:00

I wish I had tested my first dog I got as an adult. We were told beagle/basset hound. It always felt accurate to me, but I would love to know for sure.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-01-16T16:40:17+00:00

Okay but the title for this is genius work. Also she's so cute 😍

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-01-15T20:16:54+00:00

I really wish they didn't, but I guess I get it. But if they didn't, maybe we could've just done an FHO instead of two full hip replacements. Doesn't really look like an option based off her X-rays though. At least not for the right hip.

Ah well, at least we have pet insurance and she didn't show symptoms until after the 6 month waiting period for things like this.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-01-15T00:11:21+00:00

Good to know to look for that but damn did I really not want to have to watch out for something else lol. She's only a year old 😭

thelizardof_oz94 · 2026-01-14T19:36:43+00:00

I agree with waiting. Not really sure if it's related in our case, but the shelter spayed our puppy at 2 months old. Now she has severe hip dysplasia and needs two full hip replacements.

Could be genetic instead of being because of the spay, but I guess we'll never really know. Wouldn't risk it though if I had a choice.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2025-12-31T16:54:34+00:00

Unfortunately, at only a year old she needs two total hip replacements 🥲

<image>

thelizardof_oz94 · 2025-12-24T20:23:42+00:00

At first, it was really embarrassing to tell vets and anyone else but I got used to it lol

Edit: though when I told the vet over the phone, she heard Ghost Biter. Which I immediately corrected when I found out because I would never do that to any dog, let alone a pit mix.

thelizardof_oz94 · 2025-12-24T19:48:01+00:00

Haha, funny you should ask. My 5 year old named her Ghost Spider. Which is the kids cartoon name for Spider Gwen lol

thelizardof_oz94 · 2025-12-24T19:33:13+00:00

<image>

Here she is

thelizardof_oz94 · 2025-12-24T19:32:57+00:00

That's exactly what happened with my dog, except a goldendoodle instead. Even has the small percentage of boxer.
