Rant Thread II

[honeythorn]

I'd have thought there'd be something to sign really, or perhaps some sort of test or counselling session ,to confirm you know the risks and understand . If not then there should be.

Seems a bit mental that you could sue a doctor, because they "should" have been psychic enough to magically know you were going to change your mind ( if you did )

Is LASIK worth it...?

Does anyone know...?

So true, although I have heard that this is less true with military doctors, I don't know if they have more protection from malpractice claims or what. I may have better luck getting this done now, I haven't had a chance to ask a doctor about it yet.

Bad thing was it made her really depressed.

I wish I could but I have to be really careful about hormones due to a condition with my right ovary.

You would think. I could understand hesitance performing such a procedure on an 18 year old who has never had a long term relationship but I'm 25 and married to the man I have been with for 7 years, my view on family is extremely unlikely to change.


Oh well at least I'm better now, the first two or three days are the only bad ones, after that the cramps are mostly gone and the bleeding is fairly light.

I think it has something to do with all those women who had their tubes tied without informed consent in the seventies, and partly because people do change their minds, but in your case particularly, if you can't take hormones, what else can you do? Its just asking you to suffer until they think you're old enough to be really really sure you don't want babies, and usually when people have troublesome periods like that there's usually an issue in conceiving anyway, isn't there?

[Solumina]

i think if you have irregular periods then you have issues with conceiving, but I'm as regular as clockwork, just with a really unpleasant first couple of days. My issue probably wont be with conceiving but with viability after conception, I have en exceptionally high risk of ectopic pregnancies and even with a normal pregnancy I will be extremely likely to miscarry. I am at least lucky in that I have a very informative family history, everything that is wrong with me has been wrong with at least one of the women in my family, just that most of them only had one issue and I got a package deal and it manifested earlier.

Also I can take hormonal birth control, just a very limited variety and no period skipping.

[Acharis]

Solumina, you might want to get checked for fibroids (because heavy insane bleeding) or endometriosis (because intense pain).

Grrr, fuck you guys... seriously. All of you. You know what you did. *scowl*

So since I've been in the army, I've ran 12 miles with pneumonia, 3 50 pound ruck marches on a broken foot, been told to quit crying from a torn ligament that filled my knee with blood, been forced to stay in the field for training when my spouse at the time attempted suicide, sat in line all day with what I can only describe as drippy butt-pee, and I went on missions everyday for the 5 weeks that I was constipated during my first deployment.

And now they decide an ulcer is legitimate enough to send me home sick.

What the fuck.

[honeythorn]

O.o That definitely is perplexing. Then again Ulcers can cause quite severe internal bleeding and puking...

Still all the other things you've had/done, sound equally as painful or debilitating ( hell you can still definitely die from Pneumonia these days ) so I can get the WTF of it all. Very odd.

[shadowynne]

mmmmmmmmm butt pee...

[Catch]

Diarrhea?

Anyway, I am busily trying to keep my energy up. I walked all the way to the UPS Store to send a book today only to find out they do not take PO Box addresses and it would cost three times as much as sending it USPS who actually has a lower rate for books as part of some book program.

It wasn't too bad, but it was raining and I already exercised today. There was these two jerks behind me making comments about ROTC in line to pick up some packaging paper and some guy on a bike offered to give me some water.

Oh yah, and the people talking about ROTC said, "They never said anything about ROTC Chicks;" implying they thought I was a guy and then, "Adam Lambert should workout more."

What the hell?

[Solumina]

I hate being sick, worse yet Jake is sick too,

[AshleyO]

I got my haircut today...

I asked for an old school 1930s version of a crew cut. You know... a bit long on top, but parted on one side with a severe blend around the head?

Didn't get that. I ended up with a common crew cut.

I really fucking hate these kinds of haircuts.

I'm going to have to teach friends how to do it.

Dpn't feel bad. They treat young (which is anyone under 35) exactly the same way when they go in asking for a vasectomy. I can understand the reluctance to performing that procedure on someone under 25, but 25 and up? I would think they are old and mature enough to have pretty much made up their minds about offspring by that point.

I guess not.

Found an old sketch and tried to spruce it up with ink and color pencils. Problem is the color pencils were for shit and fucked up my illustration, so now it rests in pieces in my trash bin

[Miss Absynthe]

That awkward moment when someone tells you that they can't be in a relationship with you any more because of the emotional fall out of you going to SA therapy.. but they will still be your friend.

And you want to stab them in the heart.

Or stop going to therapy - because hey, if you can't love me because I'm in therapy, and I leave therapy.. well, that's just simple math.

Like Versus said, fuck them. If they can't be there for you now, they definitely won't last long against the test of Marriage.

[Saya]

Seriously? The fuck? Of all the reasons to break up with people...its like "oh hey you're working towards bettering yourself! I don't like that."

I just came here to say that I realized I only have three semesters left to my general degree, and I'm terrified of figuring out what I want to do after that. But now I'm angry because some asshole doesn't recognize a relationship unicorn when they have one.

I won't lie, I panicked for a second.

I just meant I bet Absinthe is a relationship unicorn, like you are XD and I can't believe anyone wouldn't appreciate your kind of magic.
