It’s a good thing you aren't completely stuck in a full body cast.

I’ve only ever heard about the ones you can wear for a month at a time—I think they might be from Johnson & Johnson Vision.

So, what do you even do when you're dealing with people who can't even read?

Raymond Ward3 said:To me, talking about killing a child that’s already formed sounds wrong—this is a life that exists because it was conceived with purpose, not by accident, and it could be a huge source of joy and support for the mother. On the flip side, an abortion is definitely going to be a trauma for her.

Spare us the religious lecture! This isn't the place for you to play moral judge. The girl is looking for help, and instead of supporting her, you're turning around and telling her she's a killer if she chooses abortion. Real smart—trying to mess with the head of an 18-year-old who's still trying to figure out her own life. Just take your preaching elsewhere and stop making things worse, 🙂

William Ross17 said:There are also abortion pills—I think they go by RU-485 or RU-486, though the actual brand name is Mifeprex. I'm not entirely sure how easy they are to get here in the US, though... maybe do a quick Google search?

Oh yeah, that medication actually helps shrink fibroids, too.

Those are Mifepristone tablets, and they work effectively up until about 5 weeks of pregnancy...

Are you currently taking any medications?

Go see a gynecologist! I haven't seen you around this thread in ages! If you stay here, the armchair experts are going to talk your ear off until your brain is mush—it’ll just be one big, bitter mess of confusion. Got it?

Two months? Honestly, I think that’s way too soon. Maybe wait about six months—though even then, I’d be skeptical. It really comes down to how much weight you're moving at the gym. You definitely shouldn't be lifting anything heavier than ten pounds right now.

A close friend of mine had surgery back in February for a malignant kidney tumor. To make things complicated, she also had a tumor on the opposite adrenal gland—so they ended up doing an incision right through the middle of her abdomen (it was shaped almost like a crescent moon). After the surgery, the nausea was just brutal; she couldn't stop throwing up, so they put her on Regan to help manage it. On top of all that, she’d picked up some nasty virus right before the procedure. She was coughing constantly, which was absolute torture because every cough put so much strain on her abdominal wall. Seriously, if you're fighting off a bug, don't go under the knife! She ended up spending about ten days in the hospital before being discharged for home care. Most of the way back to normal, she was actually out and about less than a month after the operation. She still can't lift anything heavy—that's strictly off the table—but she's managing light chores without any issues.

Look, you’re gonna be fine—trust me, there are way worse things out there. I only let out a little scream myself, and yeah, it stung for a second, but your arm isn't going to fall off from this! Don't sweat it.🙂

Basically, we’re looking at electromyography—which is just a fancy way of saying we're measuring the electrical activity and action potentials within a motor unit (aka, your muscle).

Did it hurt you???

I decided to jump at the chance to test out the General Electric hand muscle probe. Honestly? It was brutal—definitely the most painful spot to get poked, and I felt pretty awkward during the whole thing—but you get through it. Other spots on the body are way easier to handle.

stop spreading misinformation

Why are you coming at me like that? It isn't "misinformation" if I'm just backing up what I already said was true.

Exactly. Only with physics.

It’s probably just a tension headache triggered by some neck pain. You should probably touch base with your primary care doctor—they can prescribe you a muscle relaxant. One of the most common ones they'll likely suggest is diazepam (like Valium).

We're talking about a physiological disorder affecting your heart

In times like these, yoga really saved my soul.

Sean Brown3 said:I’m wondering if there's any way to actually "make it" in the American film industry without graduating from a top-tier film academy.
I want to direct, but from what I can see, spots at these academies are incredibly limited—and most of them seem to go to people who already have the right connections.

Luck plays a massive role in life.
