The Complaining and Bitching Thread

yeah, I watched all 18 innings I didn't think it was ever gonna end

 

two hernias recurred. Doctor doesn't think it's worth doing anything despite the worsening pain and problems over the years since the original and the new flareup from the recurrence. Like most pro-mesh surgeons he's also convinced the mesh is not the problem.

 

See a different surgeon. Mesh is such an issue. Inguinal hernias? Umbilical?

 

Inguinal, bilateral which is a concern for a non-mesh technique like the shouldice repair i'm hoping to try for next. Unfortunately there's only one surgeon here recognized for that and he's not responding to attempts to get in touch. The issue is also the first guy is partially right. Recurrent hernias are touchy bastards and when you've had a mesh repair you have a lot of scar tissue and garbage already inside your body that they have to work around, especially since important genital nerves and seminal vesicles go right through that area.... which probably is why I feel like I got kicked in the balls so much.

 

See if you can get a referral to a pelvic floor therapist for a little while to at least work on the pain and identify what you are doing to contribute to the failure. We do a lot of scar work and usually can improve pain (or at least halt the progression) while you are looking for a more permanent solution.

 

had mri earlier this week and go back to the dr on thrsday, you can clearly see there is nothing btween l1, and l2. no wonder my back is so fucked up

 

Republicans would be laughable if 40% of our country wasn't so stupid. Listening to one on npr this morning blather on about isis and drug dealers joining the caravan. Like they are going to walk from over a thousand miles away to a public spectacle and demand asylum. And as far as terrorists go, when I was a trooper we were more concerned about domestic terrorism. Right wing antigovernment sovereign citizens and such. III percenters and other anti american militia. Terrorists disguised as patriots. The people who are murdering politically in the U.S. right now. So many anti Obama stickers out in western Colorado.

 

Every time I come across an Asian restaurant advertising "MSG-free!" to pander to customers over here, I always shake my head at this reminder of sheer stupidity in the West.

 

I don't understand why we fly the flags at half-mast everytime there is a mass shooting. Mass shootings are not to be mourned. They should be a celebration. A triumph of the rights of the individual versus the tyrannical rights of the majority. It doesn't matter what the people want. If an individual wants to exercise his rights to violently protest whatever, the people need to accept it. There really is nothing more American than mass shootings. You can tell because only Americans regularly have them. We do it bigger and better. So next time a school, hospital, church, or store gets shot up and lives are ripped apart, raise your guns in the air and celebrate freedom.

Glad you're okay, @redravin !

I am refinancing my student loans because I have a variable rate for a few.. and they have literally increased by 2.5% in the past year. I'm done with this nonsense.
