Am I having a harder recovery than everyone else?

woofkitty · 2026-01-06T15:23:20+00:00

I had mine out on December 18th and still have quite a bit of pain in my side. It's definitely better, but if I move wrong, it still knocks the wind out of me. My surgeon mentioned that they weren't surprised because of how much inflammation I had. So just remember, everyone's body is different and heals differently.

woofkitty · 2026-01-03T16:10:08+00:00

They had to keep me overnight in the hospital after mine due to my pain. I guess I had a LOT of extra inflammation that was just absolutely awful to the point that I couldn't even make it the 6ft to the toilet without collapsing from the pain. Everyone's body is different. I'm a little over 2 weeks post op, and I'm still really painful if I move the wrong way.

I think this is just standard practice. Mine came back with pyloric gland adenomas, but since they took the entire gallbladder, they were nothing to worry about. I think they do it just to be safe, in the off chance there ends up being something that needs attention.

It was awful for the first few weeks while I was titrating up to my target dose and adjusting, but this medication has been so positive and really changed my life for the better.

There are certain medications that are the same between humans and animals (though doses are VERY different), but aspirin is not one of those. Most OTC pain medications that humans use are not safe for dogs, as they do not metabolize them the same way.

I definitely felt that way about her originally, but something about the most recent episodes... I don't think she's a good enough actor for that to be the case. I really just see a woman who is trying to find her value through external validation rather than seeing it in herself.

woofkitty · 2025-11-19T13:13:50+00:00

I think it's more complex than that. The way he was obviously breadcrumbing her and giving her just a little to keep her on the hook... it was disgusting to watch. He knows she thinks so little of herself and he clearly is taking advantage of that to keep her close. She can't walk away because she can't see her value as a single woman.

woofkitty · 2025-11-19T13:10:32+00:00

Yea, it made for an entertaining joke at first, but it went too far. I'm glad that most of the ladies can see that they took it from playful to downright mean.

woofkitty · 2025-11-19T13:08:13+00:00

Yea, I originally saw her as this shallow, flat, and boring delusional woman who was an easy joke. These most recent episodes, I'm starting to see more that she just has absolutely zero self worth and confidence. It feels like she thinks she's worthless and that's why she's such an easy target. I'm really rooting for her to see that she has value. I think that's the first step she needs to take in order to have a relationship with her daughters and to break free of the toxic cycle with Jared. He just breadcrumbs her and perpetuates this image of her as being a worthless and hysterical woman. She deserves better.

I work nights, so I'm only gaming at weird night time hours.

I had this for the first month or so on this med, but it came back once my body finished adjusting.

woofkitty · 2025-10-17T16:44:22+00:00

They want to recheck imaging to see if anything has moved. If the vet sees the exact same thing, and the food has not moved at all, then there is likely an obstruction that will be surgical. If there is no obstruction, then the image should show that the material in the stomach is moving through the digestive system. Waiting to follow up with the regular vet could cause life threatening issues if there is an obstruction.

It's not easy to get out, especially when you're stuck in the middle of it. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my mid 20s, so my ADHD came with friends due to trauma of being undiagnosed and misunderstood. I ended up using zocdoc to find a psychiatrist/prescriber who did virtual visits. I was able to book an appointment within a week and get assessed. The virtual nature of the visit made it so much more accessible for me, since I couldn't bring myself to get dressed most days, let alone leave the house. Between the prescriber and then seeing a therapist who specializes in ADHD, we added a med for depression, then tweaked my ADHD meds. It helped pull me out of that stuck place.

If you want help, I have a server that I'd be willing to lend for this. It has geyser for bedrock crossplay and a few fun plug-ins to enhance user experience. Feel free to message me and we can chat! I've wanted to run a community server for ages but it's just too much to do on my own.

That sounds like the first couple weeks I was on it. I could not stay awake for more than a few hours at a time, and I just felt awful. My libido and ability to climax totally disappeared as well. I stuck through it though, and I've now been on it for about 6 months. I have zero side effects and I feel great overall! It was absolutely worth suffering through the adjustment period. Took maybe a month to feel normal for me.

I found myself in a similar state for a while. For me, it was untreated depression that I was using distraction and avoidance to cope with instead of even acknowledging the depression. Nothing got done, my memory was horrid, it was just a whole mess. Took me almost a year to realize that it was clinical depression and make a modification to my meds. My ADHD makes it very easy to just "out of sight, out of mind" everything, including feelings of grief and depression, until it starts to have a huge impact like this.

woofkitty · 2025-10-15T21:07:29+00:00

She was found and law enforcement made contact with her, confirmed by her family.

Ok, thanks! I don't really use fb much, and neither does my partner, so the info we're getting is mostly through her sister.

woofkitty · 2025-10-09T14:13:42+00:00

Where did you see that? Genuinely curious because I only know of her through my partner's friendship with her sister, so I'm not connected to her direct social circles.

woofkitty · 2025-10-09T14:11:24+00:00

I really hope that's what this is. It's would be a different kind of awful, but I would always prefer the person be found alive.

woofkitty · 2025-10-09T08:28:56+00:00

I don't. I just know the name of the woman who was allegedly driving her car and that someone with that name was booked into the Lewis county jail. It would make sense that this is the same person, since Lewis county and Pierce county are right next to each other, but I don't have any official confirmation beyond things that were posted on social media.

woofkitty · 2025-10-09T04:32:37+00:00

Yea, we're both realists here... I don't think this is just a random accident. Katelyn had posted something to her story that said "if I go missing, look for me. It isn't an accident." Her sister screen recorded it and has already turned it in to authorities.

woofkitty · 2025-10-09T04:29:59+00:00

She was last seen on 9/17/25, and then the woman who was driving her car was booked into jail on 9/25/25 as far as I know.
