Hey guys!! I had spinal fusion 2 months ago to the day and havent taken any medications in over 2 weeks and am doing great considering.

However the only thing that’s bothering me is the weird feeling in my left shoulder and arm. It’s kinda like that feeling when you hold your hand up for too long and you lose blood circulation. But instead, its in my shoulder/ just under it, and a little bit down my arm. I only get it when sitting/standing for long stretches of time.

Does anyone else have this???

Hey guys! I’m writing an Alice in wonderland inspired book and I kinda wanna incorporate the twins Tweedledee and Tweedledum but change the names and personalities just a little but adding some more stupidity to them to make them more silly. Anywho, I can’t decide on names for them and I’m open to suggestions as well.

Wotherspoon is gonna fit in well with Vegas for sure. Also just saw a post on the VGK subreddit with some comments about the pens game. Some kinda weird comments too

Hi guys. I’m 16 and currently looking into going to the Uk for post secondary to hopefully become a sports medicine doctor.

The major I’m hoping to take is biology and was curious if anyone knew here what would be more beneficial for my career path?

Thank you in advance

Hi guys I had spinal fusion 7.5 weeks ago and yesterday I felt a weird pinching at the very bottom of where my incision is. I tried sleeping on it last night in hopes that it would go away. It hasnt.

Do I wait to see if it goes away assuming it might be nothing? Or should I just be telling my mom right now?

I don’t wanna go through surgery again and the hospital where I had it done is a 4 hour+ travel away

Edit: the only time it causes me pain is when I’m standing/sitting/walking. Never when laying down

Remember this this condition is not easy to bear— mentally or physically! Happy Scoliosis Awareness Day to all of you scoliosis warriors!

Hey gang I’m 7 weeks post op after having a 2 stage surgery to fuse my spine.

The last few weeks, ive felt idk like dizzy, disoriented, and my vision is off after I sit up in bed. It only ever lasts maybe 5 seconds at most.

I also almost fainted in the shower a few weeks ago (I think that was from low blood sugar/dehydration/overheating). And another noticeable time when I had this feeling was when my family doctor took off my bandages. I felt really hot and very dizzy right after he took off the last one. I don’t have any guesses why that happened.

Anywho, I was just curious if this is normal or if other people get this too? This only started happening after surgery for me

These two are two are so so so special and I don’t know what I’ll do if they are ever separated. Their friendship is everything. Also let’s please normalize male friendships like this

I was just laying in bed— yes its 2 am and I can’t sleep— and this idea for a book that actually inspires me just popped into my head. But ofc I’m already a few chapters into my current WIP but I’ve lost so much motivation because I don’t really know where I’m going with it and it’s probably moving too fast anyway.

I know ive said this about literally every other manuscript I’ve tried writing but I really wanna write this and finish my new idea. My WIP is a nice concept but it feels mediocre at best. But this one.. idk gang. I’m feeling it

16F and 6 weeks tomorrow I had half my rib removed and my thoracic spine released. And 6 weeks on Wednesday I had the spinal fusion. I’m back to school full time now with exams coming up next week. I also have mild pain, just fatigue from standing/sitting too long and pain under my shoulder blades and I’m at the point where I take Robaxin before school/if I know I’m going to be up and out of the house for several house. My parents are not worried about how my incisions are healing and neither am I.

Is there anything I should be asking him tomorrow?

Also I haven’t seen him since the first operation (that I remember) and am curious as to what he will say because I had very severe scoliosis (100° thoracic and 80° lumbar) and I was out of the hospital post op day 5. First time I met him he looked at me and told me he was going to give me a waist and he did just that

I’d like to add that my only concerns that I have are some mild numbness in my hips, near incisions, and thighs. I also had a near fainting episode in the shower last week but I think that was overheating/low blood sugar

Asky or Ned?

Imo Ned was the more dependable towards the end of the season but in Asky’s defense, hes still a rookie and it takes time to develop good goalies. Or would you rather see the trade off like they did this past season?

Either way, I love this duo and would be happy to see either in net
