I was thinking why do people still do it because comparatively I think fixing your character is easier objectively. And through evolution, humans are engraved by what basic moral principles are. Compared to looks which are much more subjective and plus you can’t change them as much.

So imagine a universe where on a planet there are only men, which also have only male offsprings VS a planet with women and same gender babies.

All of them started at the same time same population, which of them planets would do better, ie society wise, life, technology etc.

In the long run and short too.

So I’ve currently going thru recovery after my second surgery. Now every time I hear a pop sound while trying to flex my knee ( because I’m working on ROM) I go through a crisis. Every time I hear a sound from my knee I’m worried if something broke again.

How do you guys deal with this or how did you guys overcome this constant fear, not sure if it’s just me or is it a common problem.

Mine was we were out gone wild camping in the Pentland hills. Smoking a lot thru the hike and in camp. This was with an it her friend. It was freezing the whole night my friend fell in a stream. And the cold was fucking his feet up. As we kept climbing we realized there was no way we could finish to the peak as we could barely see anything and the gusts were brutal. And when we try to find a way to descend, and suddenly realized it was a very steep decline and my friend slid like 5 meters down in a patchy area. Somehow made it to a stream in the valley and set camp. My friend’s feet were just about to get hypothermia. Luckily it wasn’t yet cold enough for that yet.decided to smoke more before and after eating. My friend decided to nap at like 4 am and then I smoked a last j to smoke alone next to the river. The moon was in between the mountains peaks. It looked crazy to the eyes. I was rushing to the river smoked a j and was stood there just looking and hearing what’s around me. It was surreal. Now rushing wanting to get back cuz I was getting scared of the sounds. I couldn’t spot the way I came back and fell in a swamp. Mind it being like -2 degrees as well. I was knee deep and it was very hard to get out of. I somehow managed to walk thru it. The rest of the hike back in the morning was like hell but it was definitely worth it.

Maybe life isn’t about ending it happy or sad or where you’ve left. But it’s a passage of time we go through, and what makes that fulfilling and meaning is who’ve you’ve done that walk with. Friends, family, any relationships you choose. And maybe the purpose of life is to leave enough of yourself with others that, long after your walk is over, a part of you is still walking with them.

So it’s been 6 days post op and I used to have pretty good stamina before, but now even fucking walking with the walker like 10-20m I get tired.

What would you guys suggest to do is there anything you can to help with ur stamina while you’re out for recovery?

So everyone here has gone through it, being immobilized and wanting to fucking stretch that knee out do normal things which seem to be a privilege.

I’ve been struggling with sleeping knee seems to be insanely tired out feels like knees gone through some pounding and never recovered.

What are some tips to make life easier anything from showering to taking a piss to helping with pain whatever it may be.

(For context I’ve had an extensive knee surgery LET, full meniscus work, and acl)

This might be a bit stupid but, any of yall smoking just after your surgery or nah? Is it fine to smoke and how has it affected you. Weed and ciggies.

So I went through an extensive revision ACL reconstruction of the left knee, with an extra side-stabilizing procedure called LET and repair of both menisci. In simple terms, they rebuilt the failed ACL and also fixed the structures that help keep the knee stable and cushioned.

The recovery is long and very slow mostly sedentary life for the next 2 months. I’ve been playing guitar working on my business reading and journalling. But I feel like I want to do more. I hate the feeling of being dependent on someone else, fucking even if I have to go to the bathroom I have to call my mum to help lift my leg. I want to win somehow attain some goals build better skills so it feels like I’m doing something right. What can I learn, do etc. which would help me in this way.

Hello so I’m going thru a acl and Meniscus surgery, and will go thru spinal anesthesia which is waist/lower body down. I’ve been smoking recently for 7-9 months on and off but recently in the last 1month been smoking 1-2 joints a day.

Is it fine if I don’t discuss this with the doctor is it going to be fine and safe ? And I’ve also stopped smoking a full day before the surgery.
