Looking for plus sized hoodies. Preferably white and if a matching sweat set even better. Tried comfrt since they said they were oversized but no luck. Did like the feel and softness of them but need it larger. Any recommendations?
Anyone have and idea or reference for what the chairs/seats are like at the cosm? My fiancé loves Harry Potter and wanted to get her tickets for it but what to see what the seating is like. She las larger hips and some seating can be uncomfortable. Ive seen a few examples of the atlanta cosm and im assuming its similar but wanted to make sure. Thanks!
Been on semaglutide for 1.5 years. Down about 50 lbs and want about another 50 more. Was consistently loosing for most of the time until 5 months ago. I had back surgery which caused me to be out of commission for about 2 months in which i did not take the medication. Now these past two months got back on it but havent had the same results and dont feel the same effects. Taugh about trying triz and seeing if theres a difference.
After my MD on L4&L5 doc told me to say goodbye to jogging at least for the near future. And said that the back disc act as a shock/cushion when jogging and since part if L5 and L4 had been removed then he would not recommend it. Now 9 weeks post op and im back to full activity other than jogging. Before my MD i wanted to do a half marathon and im hoping i still can. Any others have success with jogging after MD? Taught about getting some of the very think sole running shoes and see how it goes.
Just had my “6 week” follow up with my surgeon at 7 weeks post MD lol. 28 male, about 280lbs. Pretty active and fought through pain for 2 years before emergency MD for L4&L5 S1. Surgen cleared me from the BLT restriction and pretty much anything else. Said my body would be weak so had to build some muscle with core exercises. Gave me option to do PT or exercise on my own. I chose PT because i want to make sure im doing the correct exercises with proper form. Soo happy I decided to get the surgery. 2 years worth of pain gone. He did mention that i should avoid jogging/running which dosent help my goal of a half marathon but ill survive
Had my MD 6 weeks ago today. Im still following BLT but im pretty much back to my regular life, i can cook, clean, do laundry, even started working my second job (grocery) delivery, obviously it now takes more trips from the car to the door but very manageable. Since my surgery i havent had any flareups or any discomfort really. Golfing was my one stress reliever that i did by myself. Wondering if anyone had MD and went back to golfing or how long that took. I never took any lessons but taught about taking some just to make sure i have the proper technique and prevent any injury.
4 week today since my MD. Feel great. Pain has not returned. Im almost back to regular life with some adjustments and following BLT. I have my follow up appt tomorrow and im hoping i get cleared to drive but also trying to not expect too much and be disappointed.
Anyone have a timeline of their experience?
Been on sema for just under a year but about 1.5 months ago had to stop due to a surgery. Now rrady to get back but wanted to see where you guys are ordering from? Used to order from Mochi but apparently they don’t ship to my state anymore so looking for recommendations. Ideally not grey or any place the price depends on dosage. Thanks!!
Been trying to get a gift card with Klarna and it keeps giving me the “identity can be verified” message. Only for gift cards. Tried making an in store purchase for a gift card and same thing. Works for everything else tho. Just weird
Anyone experience any itchiness in/on their back after surgery? 2 weeks post op and by back had been super itchy since the day i got home. At first taught it was the adhesive strips they used but those are gone now and still super itchy. No bumps or noticeable irritation just itchy. Mostly upper back too not too much around the incision area.
Been abit over 1 week from my discectomy and im feel great. Still have some soreness from my incision but no actual pain. Can do pretty much anything but drive and the BLT. I was very active before my surgery and up to the point of my surgery. Doc initially said about 6 weeks. But its is really 6 weeks? Mentally im prepared for 6 weeks but want to know if should mentally prepare for more or of 6 weeks is pretty average timing?
Hello. Had my L5, L4/S1 micro discectomy (emergency) last Thursday 4/23. Long story short, a years worth of leg pain that was slowly getting worse reached a point where i could not stand, walk or sit without excruciating pain. The only position in which the pain was tolerable was laying face down with a pillow on my waist. So after 2 months or sleeping and sitting on the floor, I laid face down for about 4 days. 3 of those days I went to the ER where they would give me morphine or fentanyl to reduce the pain and then discharge me with more meds that where already not working. On the 4th day I tried leaving my room lay in the living room, after maybe 10 steps the pain was soo bad i threw myself on the ground to try to alleviate it… well laying face down stopped working. I also started to loose feeling in my leg, i could feel the pain but that was about it and the breaking point was went the pain was soo high that I could not go to the bathroom… like my pee would not come out (sorry to be graphic).
That prompted a ride in the abundance, hospital admittance and an emergency micro discectomy.
After waking up from anesthesia, i cried. The pain that had become normal for over a year was completely gone. I had forgotten what it felt like to not have pain. My back felt sore but the incision but thats nothing compared to the pain i used to have.
Now 5 days post op, I can get up from bed (log roll) without assistance from my fiancée and just using my walker. I started working (wfh) just make sure to get up every hr to move around abit. I haven’t tackled stairs yet only the first day when I got home (we live on a 2nd floor apt).
However, yesterday and today my ADHD (diagnosed) has started to take over and im starting to get antsy. Yesterday i make some hibiscus water. Basically the same process as making tea in a pot on the stove. Ive been using a bragger for most thing. Currently im using pain as my limiter. If I stretch my arm out and it hurts then thats my limiter. Same with any other function. I also found a way to use my grabber to feed our cats and do afew other task (clean up abit, make my own coffee)
I dont want anyone to think that my fiancée isint helping, its truly just the fact that I cannot sit still and before this surgery i made it my goal to have her not have to be a functional human when she got home from work. I cooked, cleaned, did laundy, shopped for groceries, made coffee. I enjoy being busy and in all reality she could be a stay at home fiancee but based on the dynamics of how we grew up it would not work out (thats a different story) but anyways since she cant be a stay at home fiancee then she can have no responsibility when she gets home.
She has obviously changed that since my surgery but i want to start making dinner again since i wfh currently an sitting on my walker it seems doable. Just wondering if im doing too much. Definitely dont want to re-injure and dont want to have to extend my recovery time either. Thanks!
