Hey everyone. I’ve had posterior glottic stenosis for about five years and it is wearing on me hard this week. On the lookout for some hope and solutions.

I’m posting here because this seems to be one of the more active airway stenosis communities, although I understand posterior glottic stenosis (PGS) is different from subglottic stenosis.

Mine was caused by intubation/ventilator trauma, and my airway is currently only around 10 degrees open. I have significant difficulty with exertion. I’m constantly wheezing, short of breath. Been a long half decade!

I visited a doctor in summer 2023 and was told my three options were to cut the vocal cords, put a string or something in there to pull the vocal cords back, or do a trach. From what I understand, a solution like balloon dilation is used for stenosis lower down and isn’t really an option for PGS. My options seemed quite awful.

I know this community is for subglottic stenosis, but if anyone here dealt with posterior glottic stenosis and found solutions…

What treatment/surgery did you have?
Did it significantly improve your breathing?
What type of specialist did you see? I’m now finally trying to book something with Mayo Clinic.
Are there any particular airway/laryngology specialists or centers you’d recommend?

I’m mostly just looking for some hope. It’s been a long stretch of time being unable to breathe and I’m a bit over it.

Random thing - but I often search “game” + “trophy guide” in Google and the first result was always PSN Profiles, specifically the guide page if the game had one. Now I get PowerPyx and PlayStation Trophies and even when I add “PSN Profiles” to the search I get non-guide pages as the first result. It makes me wonder if some Google algorithm change is suppressing their guides?

I think my 20-hour Origins save is corrupted. Every time I try to launch it on PlayStation the game crashes. My cloud save is also seemingly corrupted. When I delete the console save and go in with no save files, the game doesn’t crash. Anyone experience this? Is a fresh save the only way forward?

Hey everyone - my little kiddo has an island with a bunch of family but also the K-Pop Demon Hunters, Stitch from Lilo & Stitch, etc. She's had a fun time for months with the fictional characters all being silly and sometimes fighting - but today she came up to me and said my brother and his wife were "ex-sweethearts" and broken up. It hit her hard cause they're people she knows in real life. I suppose that's part of the fun and danger of including IRL people in the game. Whoops!

I've played the game myself but haven't had any divorces or break-ups. I think Luffy and Buggy got in a fight once but that was canon IMO. I have the game set to recognize my daughter's aunt/uncle as "partners," so I figured that locked them in a bit?

I helped her feed them to get their happiness back up but whenever I try to get them to interact they act awkward and run away. Will they eventually work it out if I have them set to partners? What can be done to speed it back up? I heard the game got a bit more aggressive after updates. Thanks for any and all advice! We must restore the love!

I’ve tried to keep up on all his updates - from the personal issues pre-accident to the recovery journey post-accident and injury. I was under the impression that, through all the ups and downs, he was working on getting something going with Marvel again or then something on the independent side of things.

I was confident we’d hear something with the Ultimate universe since he had been an architect for its early plans, or maybe something with Spawn since he’s always been such a fan, or then something with Venom or Midnight since he always leaned into the darker side of Marvel. But for years now it’s been crickets.

I know he can’t reboot Vanish since Ryan Stegman is busy. And I’m not sure if DC would have something for him with Absolute or All In.

Truthfully, he was a huge reason I got into comics as an adult and his writing is some of my favorite. Loved his Venom, Thanos Wins, Silver Surfer, smashtronaut Hulk, herald Thor, all of it. It was a blast! Hope he’s back soon… somehow!

Dan Mora has gradually been stepping away from handling multiple ongoings and miniseries. With World’s Finest he’s been off for awhile, he’s stepping off Superman (at least for the Zod arc) with issue #41 and #42, and after handling DC KO’s Knightfight it seems he doesn’t have another miniseries he’s handling.

As far as I know, he’s doing a few variant covers (Legion of Super-Heroes, Batman, Detective Comics, Teen Titans, Poison Ivy) but otherwise his back half of 2026 is only Justice League Unlimited.

Will JLU be his only ongoing for the foreseeable future? Will he go back to Superman? Will he go to some other character or project? What do you think?

I’ve heard a LOT of hype for the Dungeon Crawler Carl series but I’m a relatively new book reader. Last year I went through all of the Red Rising Saga and my goal this year was to get through Dungeon Crawler Carl.

At the start of the year I saw that Operation Bounce House was coming out and figured it could be fun to get a taste for Matt Dinniman’s writing style before diving into this series.

I … enjoyed it! But was a bit disappointed when I had seen so much love and praise for DCC. I was worried I wouldn’t end up enjoying DCC and kind of postponed by binge read of the series. Ended up jumping to Project Hail Mary for that movie and the all of Hunger Games to prepare for Sunrise on the Reaping. Both very good reading journeys!

Anyways. Now for my summer reading I’m finally diving into DCC and phew, what a relief and a surprise! This first book - only six chapters in - is way, way, way better. Why couldn’t Operation Bounce House have been this fun?! It feels like OBH was trying to be more earnest or grounded or something. This is wacky and fun and what I expected out of a gaming pop culture nerd novel.

Excited to keep reading and I’m sorry my hype had to be at the expense of Operation Bounce House. Like I said, I enjoyed it - but this is more my speed.

I just finished Chapter 16 and Haymitch is heading north to carry out the plan from Beetee to blow up the arena. It’s my understanding that he has this coordinated plan to bomb a tunnel and “flood the brain” of the arena? To be honest, I’m somehow a bit fuzzy on the exact details of what they want to accomplish - but I get the idea that the goal is to sabotage the Games.

What confuses me is … what do they think this will accomplish? Is it really just the short-term destruction of this Quarter Quell to send a message to the Capitol? Just a quick bit of payback from Beetee?

Because surely they know that whatever destruction they bring the Capitol can just repair, right? And Haymitch has to know the Gamemakers are watching and he won’t survive any sabotage plan?

Just seems like a suicide mission that won’t even accomplish much for Haymitch? Apologies if I’m missing how high the stakes are or how important the plan is. Maybe my mind wandered during a crucial Beetee line.

Thanks!
