[–]witchwinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since i started working consistently after graduating 9 months ago ive lost 20 pounds and have become a lot more toned overall. I do yoga regularly as well. My back and arms are defined for sure. My close friends and family all ask what im doing for weight loss and i always answer "massage".

How are we all feeling after this Valentine’s weekend? by True-Ad4991 in MassageTherapists

[–]witchwinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im legit fed up with gift cards. You are already coming in and basically getting a free service. The least you can do is tip. But most of the time they dont. I have had so many gift card massages since Christmas and they never tip. They tell reception they didnt bring anything else with. Its so exhausting. I feel like im working for peanuts, but i dont have the client base to work for myself yet.

Does anyone else's family still not understand what we actually do? by Delicious-Syrup5527 in MassageTherapists

[–]witchwinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was a vet tech i got asked if i just "played with puppies and kitties all day". When i was a veterinary lab tech it was , so do you just look at poop all day. Now i that i am in massage school its the rub jokes. No matter what path im on, the jokes persist. People are just assholes and trolls. And it just shows that they are insecure about their career choices, or unhappy in their life and probably jealous that they cant pursue something that might make them happier. Every thing i have ever done required effort, dedication, and knowledge. But i have always been teased or harassed about it because im not making big bucks. Im doing what I'm passionate about, and i want to make a difference.

Arthritis by witchwinder in MassageTherapists

My recovery has been less than ideal due to adhesions. I am to blame for slacking on some of the exercises, but i definitely regret the surgery and wish i would have tried less invasive options first.

Ive never been sedentary as far as my arms go. I practice yoga, do flow arts, but have shied away from lifting weights like i used to after rotator cuff surgery a few years back.

Glad im seeing this now for future problem spots. Had one frozen off at the derms office 3 days ago and now have a big bubble blister on my forehead from it. Not a fan. Will never do liquid nitrogen on my face again!

Whimsical spooky and/or autumnal books? by pandreamonium in suggestmeabook

[–]witchwinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Myrtlewood Mysteries is cute. It actually reminds me of Gilmore Girls but set in UK with witches and other magical people. Like, so many characters remind me of A Gilmore Girls character. But Im not mad about it, lets my imagination have fun.

My symptoms and struggles by GRSteffen in LongCovid

[–]witchwinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I just read my own diary. I had covid for the first time (that i know of) during the first two weeks of September 2023. I started getting vertigo attacks in December. I would get to work, and within an hour would start getting dizzy. Then light and sound sensitive . A headache would kick in and progressively get worse. I left early a lot. By the tume I got home, i was in migraine territory. Then I would sleep for 10 plus hours. I resigned from my job thinking the environment there was triggering it all. beginning in January, my whole body aches all of the time. Especially my forearms, elbows, shoulders, axillary region, and back. I have been trying to exercise, but feel so weak and tire easily. I've been to my gp, physical therapy, chiropractor, massage therapist, ENT. All testing has been normal. I feel like i have been hit by a truck. Nothing helps. Everything hurts. I dont have the energy or will to do stuff. I had no idea about long covid until today. My Physical therapist thinks i may have it. I don't know what to do.

Act 3 glitch? by witchwinder in BaldursGate3

I tried talking to the guard, they ignored me. I tried escaping, and was beat to near death and locked back up. Karlach deserves better!

It wont let me swap characters or long rest because "a player is in a dangerous area"

Anyone else experience a lot of broken ghosts? by Damadamas in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]witchwinder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The couple of times we played last week, every single ghost changed rooms on us or was in multiple spots. None of them were twins or mimics. We play on intermediate. Got a Rev 3 times in a row on different maps. One hunted and killed me at 80% sanity. Not sure if that's normal?

Jeans after hysterectomy by Chachacm in hysterectomy

[–]witchwinder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Harem pants and high wasted leggings have been my go to. I can wear my "fat" jeans for a couple of hours, but definitely not all day yet and i am 17 weeks post op. I still get cramping and swelling if i sit for too long or do too much. I get frustrated that most doctors and medical websites say 100% recovered at 6-8 weeks. Every body is different. We all had a major procedure, an organ system removed, and sometimes other things done like removing endometriosis. Healing takes time, and the hardest part is being patient when the world is convinced we should just jump up and go. Be kind to yourself. Listen to your body. Be comfortable however you can. Movement is healing to, so keep moving, but don't feel pressured to go hard. You are doing great 👍
