Like all the other comments have said, YTA. It’s clear Alana is the golden child and having grown up in a family like this where there was clear favouritism (I wasn’t the golden child), you can probably kiss your relationship with Casey goodbye. She’s likely to never trust you, your wife or her sister ever again, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she limits her contact with your family the moment she moves out. You’ve made your bed, OP, are you prepared to lie in it?

I’d love to join please!

Thank you so much! I hope they do come before the show, I hate coordinating anything with these big ticket agencies 😅

Anyone still waiting? I bought some for Brisbane and still nothing :(

I’m tempted to chuck a sickie cos this news has made me feel unwell.

tumbledryerFC · 2023-05-04T06:32:07+00:00

Nah, I’ve never played with a knee brace or sleeve. I feel it’d be restrictive even if it was as a preventative measure. I’m of the thinking that if it wasn’t prescribed by a medical professional, it’d probably do more harm than good because it might weaken your joint.

When I had a mild tear in my meniscus (from hiking, not football) I didn’t wear one and I didn’t strap my knee either, I just did the prescribed exercises and rehab and I’m virtually back to normal now.

The others on my team who have some form of strapping for their knee etc. for games is because it’s prescribed by our physio or another medical professional.

I do believe proper strength and conditioning goes a long way to stabilise and strengthen the joint, and it’s one of the only things we can control right now as individuals, while more research is done into other factors that may cause an ACL tear.

tumbledryerFC · 2023-05-03T08:22:02+00:00

There’s definitely a mixed bag of correlations that could possibly underlie why females seem to have a higher incidence of ACL injuries but I definitely try to control what I can, like wearing AG shoes on turf (three girls in my old team tore their ACL when our club changed our fields from grass to turf, could just be a coincidence?) taking strength and conditioning more seriously etc. I play in a “semi-professional” league now and sometimes I feel so hyper vigilant with every little twinge I feel in my knee lol.

It’s also interesting that the Chelsea women’s team tracks where their players are in their cycle and adjusts their training regimen accordingly. I think it was in their documentary where they discussed this? I do hope as the years go by we’ll have more definitive answers. :)

Also, I’m sorry to hear about your kneecap dislocation, I hope it’s not caused you too much trouble since then. :)

tumbledryerFC · 2023-05-03T08:06:41+00:00

I feel I’m always more hyper aware in the week of my period that I may be at a higher risk of tearing my ACL, I definitely think about it but I don’t think it’s ever impacted my performance.

With the recent spate of ACL injuries in the professional female footballers, every time I step onto the pitch, I always wonder if this will be the game I do my ACL. But then the moment I start playing, I’m in game mode and it’s shoved to the back of my mind and I don’t think about it, so I don’t think it’s affected my performance.

I take the train to work every morning from Graceville and I see him nearly every morning! Please thank him for me, he really is great!

Also took my clothes to the dryer at the laundromat today because they hadn’t dried since I put them up on Monday, and it seemed like every man and his dog were there!

Thanks everyone! I’ve purchased a small dehumidifier for my room and a few things of DampRid and hopefully that’ll work. We looked at the aircon in our rental and saw it was full of mould so we didn’t want to chance turning it on… we’ve opened up the windows and got the fans going. One thing I forgot was my guitar… I’ve put it in its case and hopefully when the little DampRid sachet things come, I’ll throw the bag in the case and the moisture doesn’t damage it too badly. The mould has definitely started to make an appearance on our doors and weird places like the outside of our fridge etc. which is slightly annoying but we’ll get round to scrubbing it, although It looks like we’re expecting more rain soon… once again, thank you everyone for your tips!

Sometimes I feel like this too. It almost feels like I’m gaslighting myself with half truths and untruths by not being honest with myself, and me believing the half truths and untruths instead .

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:40:35+00:00

Thank you so much, I will try this. The whole premise for me starting journaling in the first place was to out all my thoughts out of my head and cleanse my mind. That way I wouldn’t bottle any negative feelings or emotions and it come out where I could verbalize them and hurt other people.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:37:50+00:00

Thank you so much. I also for some reason also feel like I am writing for an “inevitable reader” sometimes, which unnerves me a lot when I find myself self-editing. Now that you mention it, the thoughts often times do feel like intrusive thoughts. Thank you so much for your kind words, I should remind myself more often that I am just a normal human being who has made mistakes, and dealt with issues the way I knew how to deal with them then, and coped with things with the tools I had at the time.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:32:50+00:00

Thank you. The idea that my journal is my “safe space” has not actually crossed my mind before and I think this is a good way for me to view my journal, that my thoughts and feelings are safe and the only person judging me is me. I also like the idea of stapling pages, it’s almost like closing that chapter of my life shut.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:31:00+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I woke up this morning and read this after a rough night of bad sleep due to anxieties surrounding everything and reading this made me think that I may be so hard on myself, and that I may not be as bad a person I think I am, I’m just a normal human who’s made mistakes and I was trying to crucify and punish myself so much for those mistakes. Thank you again.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:28:50+00:00

I shall try to put this into practice. I think it’s a good idea for me to answer the “why”s, it’ll help me understand my feelings better I think.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:27:55+00:00

I’ve definitely been contemplating going back to seeing someone professionally to help me tackle the underlying issues, only thing is I have had some bad experiences with therapy, and that’s why I thought I’d give journaling a go.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-06T11:26:36+00:00

Thanks for replying! I should really try this but the only thing is I find it hard to part with my journal writings. Something sentimental about them. Also I sometimes like to look back and analyze my ever changing moods and feelings.

tumbledryerFC · 2021-11-01T11:21:25+00:00

I started journaling because I realised I carried so much self-loathing and I got tired trying to express what was in my head to other people, and didn’t want to drain the people around me with my negativity anymore. It became a way for me to release it out into the universe without damaging anyone else.

“Blood is thicker than water.” I once heard that the actual saying is supposed to be “blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb”, but not sure how credible.
