I had a bulging disc and one day I was laying on the couch and sneezed. I felt this pop in my back and the pain was indescribable. I started helplessly crying and yelling for help. After waiting in pain for 20 minutes, my gf brought me to the ER where I cried in the lobby for 8 hours straight waiting to be seen.
Turns out I herniated my disc. I went to PT for 6 months and have slight nerve damage to this day. Funny enough a new latex mattress saved me. I live pain free every day when before that was unthinkable.
I get migraines, so I’m weirdly used to high levels of pain. I had one migraine so bad I vomited, fell asleep for about 6 hours, then woke up and kept vomiting uncontrollably. Ended up in the ER because I was puking straight bile. But as far as pain goes, not the worst.
When I was pregnant, they had to induce me. They try to keep you off an epidural as long as possible, but I was having contractions every 5 minutes while 0% dilated. Hurt like a bitch, and they wouldn’t let me lay in any comfortable position because the heart rate monitor wouldn’t register. But that wasn’t the worst.
I had a kidney stone impact in the lower part of my ureter. They had gone in to remove it but couldn’t because it was impacted and infected. So they placed a stent. The doctor said I must have been in a lot of pain before surgery. Didn’t feel a THING. The next day I felt fine. Went to work (desk job). Came home and laid on the couch. Over the course of an hour I started shivering uncontrollably and spiked a massive fever. I developed sepsis. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Still wasn’t the worst.
No, the worst was my third kidney stone which was apparently caught on scar tissue in my ureter. I was in so much pain I couldn’t think. I couldn’t answer questions. I couldn’t do anything.
I think there's a threshold fedi would hit and we'd start seeing these duplicates diminish. Not all of them will go away, that's always going to be a part of a federated network of servers each with their own user base. But some big ones will come to dominate and naturally acquire most or all of the available audience. You can't federate human behavior, but this system does allow for much better migration and diversity between groups than a singular aggregate like reddit. We don't need to make news and TrueNews. There's no monopoly on such terms. You can just make your own news somewhere and promote it and run it your way.
But right now, this place is in an embryonic stage. Cells are forming, dividing, dying, and being born. I would expect the landscape of it to change given enough freedom to grow. The more users we acquire, the more these magazines will evolve and change to accommodate. I expect some of these duplicates are going to go their own way or die off or be replaced. It's gonna be interesting to see how it shakes out.
Waking up in the post-op recovery area after having my gallbladder removed. Immediate intense pain so sharp I couldn't breathe. The nurse asked me if I was in pain and i couldn't speak I had to just nod vigorously, panic setting in.
I like to use WD-40, I just lube it up and massage the adhesive until it dissolves into a goo that can be removed with dish soap. I find the goo-gone that I tried evaporates too quickly to soak into stiffer jar label adhesives.
Everyone's in here with this horrific shit while my worst injuries never really hurt that bad. Separated shoulder, head trauma resulting in a dozen stitches, chunks of flesh missing with rocks replacing it. Not that bad.
The absolute fucking worst was getting kicked in the knee during a pickup street hockey game while wearing sweatpants. Not the kick itself, but when I got home and went to shower. Turns out the kick had given me the sweatpants equivalent of road rash. Okay, fine. Just a few fibers sticking out that I need to clean up and...
...and I can only imagine that this is what third degree burns feel like. I have no damn idea what made it so bad, but the process of removing a small patch of fibers embedded in my skin made me question whether or not it would have been quicker, simpler, and less painless to just chainsaw the fucking leg off. Fire. Burning. Burning. Down the side of my leg. I had road rash before and since and absolutely nothing was like that.
A distant second would be the road rash that I accidentally dumped ALL OF THE ALCOHOL on while trying to wet some gauze to clean it up. That was bad. The fiber thing was worse.
When I came out of a two-hour knee surgery. It was exploratory to see if I needed a major knee surgery (I did), and when I woke up, I was in so much pain I literally went into shock - I remember waking up, then excruciating, mind-numbing pain, instantly being freezing cold and starting to shiver uncontrollably (which made the knee pain WORSE), and the nurses rushing me to the recovery room then covering me with blankets and constantly checking my temperature.
For my second knee surgery, they gave me an epidural beforehand.
That was before I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which can cause anesthesia not to work properly. I’ve actually had an anesthesiologist write a medical paper on me after I had a surgery. I’m guessing my reaction to anesthesia is odd, which is why time coming out of my first surgery was hell.
An Oxyclean soak is the most common way I see homebrewers recommend for removing labels from bottles. Definitely a good choice if being food safe matters.
I had bursitis crop up in both my shoulders at once. The inflammation was so bad I couldn't lift my arms, and the pain when I forced it was horrible.
Then one day I was climbing a short ladder to a loft. The ladder slipped and I caught myself on the ledge. Yay? Nay.
I lay curled up on the floor in agony, not even noticing that I'd deeply cut my shin...literally didn't know. I've got a deep divot in the bone there still, but all I could think about was not vomiting on myself from the pain in my shoulders.
The docs had tried to put me through physical therapy to deal with the bursitis up to this point, and the day after the fall I told them to fuck off and give me cortisone shots. I went from crippled to cured in 2 minutes. Sometimes it's worth it, y'all.
I used it throughout undergrad and grad school. I found it helpful. Not sure what you need Grammarly for but if you need MLA or APA help, I would recommend checking out Perra - www.perrla.com. Made formatting and references so much easier.
