Can you imagine if you gave a gift at a shower and someone was like oooh that’s a $30 gift when they bring in x amount a year??! 

Unless there were reasons not given in this article, I’m a little appalled that no one took her into their home while this was going on. I’m sure there could be a reason why it was impossible/impractical, but I am curious.

That’s IF a wedding happens. Which 9/10 it doesn’t for young engaged celebs. 

Paper straws are bad enough with just liquids, but can you imagine trying to suck down a frappachino? That being said, I’ll bring my own straw. 

Oh god I know. When they were listing the possible surgeries for the bone marrow edema one was stem cells being grown in a lab London. My good ole American health care having laughed at the thought. But here’s to the future. 

I am. I love swimming but my endurance needs work since it’s been so long since I’ve done laps routinely. It’s a new goal to reach I guess. 

I’m with you on the outside walks. It’s my stress relief. 

Bully for you! I’ve heard those are a bitch!

Running and lines and squats are out of the question indefinitely. But I tried an arc elliptical today and it actually gave me some hope. I’m dying at the bones spurs comment. I guess what I really need to do is let go of my 5k goal and set new goals for myself. 

The problem is more fluid under the knee cap and inside of the bone. And bone doesn’t have give to swell so it’s painful. They gave me a cortisone shot the first time but the problem is it can cause further degeneration of cartilage so it’s not a great solution. I’m doing the high dose naproxen because holy shit…

Oh god yes the 10 o’clock bed time. 

It is sad that the one thing I have is that I don’t have a gray hair (that I can see) yet. It’s my one shred of youth. 

I’m glad to hear this because the orthapedic specialist was pretty clear that the odds are it won’t heal for me. But even a glimmer of hope is helpful. 

This is exactly what a friend’s mom said when someone complained about a gray hair. 

yep, it’s one of the like 4 thinks left to me! Thanks!

Oh I’m sure everything after the pain of a  gallbladder attack is roses. Anyone I know who had attacks said it was the worse pain they’d ever had. Kudos to you!

There was also a 10 lb weight gain for me. Thankfully that was taken care of but I’m still not back to prebaby status and my bum knee is a wrench in those plans. 

Anyone feel like they hit their 30s and their body fell apart? Just in the past 6 months I’ve found out I have irreparable cartilage injury in my knee (complete with bone bruising and bone marrow edema). I’m super frustrated because I’m pretty done with running now and I had just been getting into it. I was a minimum…

Eh apps aren’t great at uneven cycles. Start charting your nasal body temp when you wake up in the morning as well and it should help. Have you tried ovulation tests? Im fairly sure they come in a cheaper form like the paper strip pregnancy tests. Buying a bunch offline might be worth it for sanity alone. Best of…

Stick tray in a ziplock of ammonia (if it’s a smaller one) and leave overnight. Or maybe try barkeeper’s friend?
