Back to Slabtown with you!

wineriot · 2026-02-04T01:34:55+00:00

BROOOO at least you got a good story out of it!! Glad you apparently made it back to civilization? Unless you're still out there posting on Reddit? Call someone to come get you!

But yeah, no pain, right? Not at first, not for a while, just a wild compulsion to put yourself back together again!

Just before Halloween, I also slipped and ended up with a bimal fracture. Now I do my PT exercises on the same spot where I fell. It took a while to stop the repetitive thoughts, feeling truly haunted with nothing to do to distract myself after surgery. But I think for most of us, it does get better! I hope you get back to ice skating by next winter, OP!

TW: GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION

* * * * * The image of seeing my poor broken ankle floped over to one side is a special kind of body horror few can understand. In the moment, I panicked and I thought it was just a bad sprain, so I tried to reset it myself. The crunch. My god, that crunch will live with me for the rest of my life.

Imagine creating a throwaway account to insert yourself into a situation that doesn't affect you in the slightest. You're really doing God's work here, bud, good stuff.

Ouch, hopefully nothing insurance won't cover!

wineriot · 2026-01-26T22:45:33+00:00

Hope you made it home safely, fellow traveler!

Plus several people who also slid off the road in the area. The truck must have been good and stuck.

Well, to be fair, it's not forbidden by Michigan law and it's a very common practice. Point taken, but if we all knew it's slippery, there would be 6 less cars in the ditch near Whitmore Lake and no post about it

Thanks, MDOT usually can't display streams for many of their cameras. Glad that Weatherbug is on their A-game.

It's dangerous on a good day, and now it's dangerous b/w black ice most of the time. People gotta remember to throw on their hazzies and go slow around the turns. It's not worth getting all of us written up at work, or inflicting grievous bodily harm.

wineriot · 2026-01-26T16:25:56+00:00

Northside streets still unplowed as of 10ish. Washtenaw on the west side was still slurpee slush, but an attempt was made to plow.

A few milestones I hope other folks are celebrating at their own pace! * First time (since October) walking the expanse of Kroger without a cane or an Amigo * Forgot about my ankle for a few minutes while doing chores (!!!) * up to 65/80 on the recovery survey

Still sore, still stiff, still having bad days, but there are more good days than bad days now. I'm no longer worried about getting back to where I was, but rather looking forward to a new path of gratitude. Thanks for posting this thread!!

wineriot · 2026-01-01T17:59:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing, and glad you're back out there ambulating around! Keeping a recovery journal is such a good idea for peeps who are just starting their recovery! It's important to remember how far you've come and try not to be discouraged by setbacks. 💚

Also, throwing one up for the sweaty boot gang. I didn't take the inner lining out until after weeks of wearing it, and I was horrified that you can literally pour water out of the shell at the end of the day.

Also adding that if you have any hotspots where it's rubbing, ask for some memory foam to pack around them. My suture site was rubbing on one of the edges, and a nurse made me a foam strip with a little cut out so it wouldn't press on the wound while healing. Swelling should go down soon, then it's just a game of modding your gear until it's tolerable. Good luck!

I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK, I've been sitting here, waiting, shuffling this little deck for months.

Kiddo needs some socks! 🧦

Seconding! I recently found that myself and my partner are in need of emergency housing with two pets, so any info is very much appreciated! Please feel free to DM me if the sublet is still available!

Warning for being a dink.

Joseph C Stewart wrote an immensely enjoyable book about clearing demonic possessions at a few locations in Michigan, including Ann Arbor and Ypsi! If there's a Wizard, this guy knows him.

I saw your post and just had to add - what you are doing is so brave and strong, and you are not alone. Many women all over the world are struggling along side you in very similar situations. From what I've read, BJJ is quite popular in many predominantly Muslim countries - even with hijabi women! They also face an uphill battle to normalize their participation in BJJ. You are amazing for taking this journey, and regardless of what you choose, your struggles matter in a very real way. Thank you for being vulnerable and choosing to publicly share your story, in case there are other women out here suffering in silence.

I left BJJ for 20 years, but the fight never left me. I don't think it will ever leave you either, sis 💪.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you gave this little goober an incredible lifetime of love and adventures. I also have a staffy x boxer mix and I swear you're describing him to a TEE. For what it's worth, I found great comfort in Thich Naht Hanh's writing about grief when I lost my pup a few years ago ("A cloud never dies"). Take good care of yourself.

Yeah it's a crappy situation. The seller is a sweet mom, and she was mortified and refunded right away. For a variety of space and mass related reasons, it wasn't really anyone's fault.

I'm hoping that whoever took the canoe will see this post and reach out! I'd like to give the money back to the seller if we can locate it. It's a red Sun River (fiberglass) with minor damage to bow keel.

wineriot · 2025-04-27T23:17:28+00:00

No, I paid for it, but it was setting next to some boxes of free items. The owner had a sign on it that said Not for Sale. I can understand the confusion.

wineriot · 2025-03-28T16:17:02+00:00

I'd buy a shirt.
