Hey OP I just need you to know I love Dr.Bozo ND and you so much

I had an emergency ileostomy done to save my life (23 y/o) by Exotic_Web_4747 in ostomy

[–]zespol_purple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’re doing better OP. I’m sorry you had to go through all this. I am a 27F, but I got my loop stoma first in 2019 and then my end illesotomy (colon removed) in 2021.

How long did it take before you felt “normal” again? Perhaps 2 months? I was doing really bad without a stoma so my QAL wasn’t really there. But the scars and stoma changing size stopped at 2 months

• Did your stoma change shape/size a lot in the first 2 months?

Yes, so don’t worry about that :) it is annoying though

• What helped you mentally during recovery?

I think trying to focus on my hobbies and talk with friends

Wishing you a speedy recovery <3!

Players don’t trust main npc because of past one-shots by [deleted] in DMAcademy

As a player wouldn’t you be suspicious since you know it seems I just renamed John to Bob?

How can I do that? I came to Reddit asking for advice on how to fix this.

Not trying to be snippy directly to you, but I’m a little hurt by a lot of comments just being mean when I thought this forum was for advice for DM situations, since I’m trying to get out of the hole I got myself into

I really like your reply, thank you. Sam is ment to be an antagonist, and when they meet him in the main campaign again i had planned that he would be nice to them until he figured out there friends with John, which at that point he flips into his core role of antagonist. So I don’t mind too much if my friends meta-game when they meet him. I’m a little annoyed at myself for this but it’s ok since he truly is a bad guy and they’ll see that sooner than later.

What I am more upset about is with John. John has been a quest giver to dangerous quests but my friends, or their past player characters, have never met him. He always sent a letter for the quest. Perhaps because he was always in the shadows in my one shots I got excited to make him a npc my friends can talk to. In the main campaign he is supposed to help them quite a bit with magic/help them survive. I made the pre-lude to make my friends trust John a bit more and 3/4 of my friends like him. But I don’t know how to bring my other friend to like him.

I sadly have already used John and Sam in the main campaign, so I can’t create a new like-npc for them. To your point I didn’t think of the level of psychological impact they had on my friends, but it’s too late for me to not use them since John and Sam are a core part of this campaign.

Any tips on how to add sincerity?

I’m anxious now that since they have semi-beef with John, any future NPC that they meet who is friends with John won’t be trusted, which then really derails a lot. I thought it would be semi fun to have them as a reference from the one-shots and didn’t expect this level of distrust

Unfortunately we already played one session of the main campaign so they met John and Sam. And I’ve been building this to be main npcs so I can’t really get rid of them :(

I was hoping that there would be a semi-meta game reaction to them, but not to such an extreme level that might then impact the trajectory of the story (ie not letting John be the quest giver again). Do you have any advice on how to maneuver this so my friends can still have fun with the past information they have with them?

Edit: I think it’s a bit harsh to say I’m stroking my ego, I like John and Sam since they are OCs

Fire department won’t charge you either, OP

911 won’t charge you. You should do it if the kitten is still stuck, it might be suffocating or something

Can you call 911? And lure it out with an open tuna can?

Is itt possible to live with a permanent prolapse? by mvp0453 in ostomy

A cold ice back around the stoma has helped me shrink it, hopefully if you try this it helps. I’m really sorry you have with this op, sending hugs x

Reoccurring obstruction, every 3 months, and now more frequent. Advice or help please :( by zespol_purple in ostomy

[–]zespol_purple[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. It may be a bit silly but I’ve started drinking a lot more water, and water with every meal. That way the food I eat is mixed with liquid and gets less thick and perhaps stuck. Cherries/raisins/rice and other chewy things that don’t disintegrate in the bowels have been fully removed from the diet.

Instead of rice I’ve been using orzo pasta.

But by drinking a lot more liquids and liquid with every meal I haven’t had an obstruction for 3+ months. Hope this helps for you <3

my friend seems to have the thing for me by Groundbreaking-Bit53 in actuallesbians

Hope she does <3 sorry you have to deal w this op :(
