Full body support harness recs?
Hi everyone! Thank you for your kind words and insights when I wrote a few weeks ago with worries about my dog Bodhi's injured back leg. He ended up having a torn ACL and had to have TPLO surgery, and the post-op recovery has been a big tough as he can't put any weight on his back leg. The vet recommended rolling up a towel to use as a sling to keep his back leg off the ground, but this is killing my back and obviously is not sustainable long term.
I went searching online for a harness that has a handle or strap to directly support his hips/back leg, necessary for the immediate recovery period but also in hopes that giving him this kind of support going forward will help his hips and leg stay in good shape. The Amazon and Chewy options all had mixed reviews and didn't seem like great quality (I ordered one to begin with and one of the buckles promptly snapped upon first wear), so I went with this Ruffwear full body harness: https://ruffwear.com/products/doubleback-harness. It's meant to be a rock climbing harness but with detachable leg straps and hip and back handles for lifting, I thought it might be a good fit, although the question of whether the strap around the stump would be successful was unclear.
Okay, that was a long-winded intro to a two-part question.
Part 1: the harness arrived and seems like great quality but the strap around the stump does not stay, rendering the whole back portion (which is the main reason for getting this harness) unusable as the loops need counterweight from the leg other to stay in place. I'm wondering if anyone has this harness (or has encountered a similar situation with a different harness) and has any tips for MacGyvering it to make the stump loop stay in place. (Attaching photos of the harness situation -- Bodhi is quite bruised from the tape of his bandage which is startling but he is ok.)
-
Part 2: if this harness doesn't end up working, any recommendations of other harnesses that would provide dual chest/front legs and hips/back leg support with a back leg situation suited for a stump would be great!!
In general though... where are the products designed specifically for tripods hiding?! I feel like there must be a company somewhere that makes them and I just haven't found it??
(Thank you for reading. This is my first experience in 3.5 years as a tripod parent of any mobility challenges and it has been surprisingly scary and stressful. Grateful for all of the words shared in this space.)

2023.03.25 02:50 ReporterFamiliar2829 Abandoned locations myths/rumours

When I was in high school I heard of a bunch of abandoned locations and I was wondering if there was any truth to them:
  1. Abandoned mansion near-ish to civic, vaguely remember someone saying it was in the woods on a mountain
  2. Hidden rooms underneath the lake from when they were filling it up or before
  3. Abandoned military base near one of the Grammar schools (could’ve also been some other private school, not too sure)
  4. Meth City. Based on a graffiti in belco near the entrance to sewers that said “——> this way to Meth City”. It’s apparently supposed to be a large space in the sewers people would go to “hang out”
  5. I heard that you could take the sewers all the way to the Zoo

2023.03.25 02:50 Doctuh_Wahwee A few questions about endgame *major spoilers*

  1. How did Layla hook up to the machine in the temple? I thought only people reincarnated from the Isu with the thing on their necks could interface with it? Is Layla a reincarnation or descendant?
  2. If Layla's exposure to radiation was fatal because she dropped the staff, how did Basim's body get revived after such long exposure? Couldn't Layla have just grabbed the staff like he did making the whole fatal part something trivial?
  3. Basim wasn't a bad guy, then he was, but now he isn't again after joining up to work with Shaun and Rebecca?
  4. The Reader's voice actor is Nolan North, so does this mean that Desmond's consciousness somehow survived his death? Why can't he fully remember himself after Layla mentions him if it's only been eight years? He only expresses familiarity at the mention of the name but doesn't seem to know about any further connection.

2023.03.25 02:50 kayleenycole What PCE hours to consider?

Help! I am applying this cycle. I was wondering which number to put as my PCE from my MA job. My “total hours worked” is significantly (about 300) more than my “regular hours” bc it includes LWOP, Holiday Pay, PTO, etc). Which number do I use on my application? On my time sheet, it’s the “regular hours” that is bolded. Thank you!

2023.03.25 02:49 Old_Grape_8470 The Girl and The Tower

This story/scenario acts a metaphor for the progression tone and status quo from the to the current Volume. For this, I'll use Ruby as a example.
Red Trailer: A girl with a red hood and a large scythe (which is also a gun) walks up to a tower. She looks upwards, knowing the long journey ahead.
Volume 1: The girl begins with a running start, prepping herself...
Volume 2: ...and she leaps! Running on the side of the tower, stumbling slightly but ultimately keeping on course. She's having the time of her life.
Volume 3: The girl's at running at full tilt and all seems well. But a cloud of burning smoke appears, breaking her stride. She falls, only catching herself by hooking her scythe into the tower. A white light envelopes her vision...
Volume 4: Breaking out of her daze, the girl notices that she has lost some distance. She decides to take a breather before moving forward.
Volume 5: The girl starts off once again, this time with renewed resolve; she breaks through the burning smoke and moves onward.
Volume 6: Continuing her run, the girl races through a blue mist: her mind is flooded with images from ages past. She feels that someone before her has gone on through the same journey she's going on.
Once again she is filled with doubt. If the traveler had suffered for so long, what chance did she have?
But the traveler, despite being saddled with an enormous burden, pushed on and so must she.
Volume 7: The girl runs, faster now, faster than she has before. She soon sees a black, red, and thunderous cloud and prepares to brace it.
Volume 8: Running through the cloud, the girl struggles with any plan she has being opposed. Just when she thinks things will go great... she's hit and falls.
Volume 9: The girl hits the ground broken in more ways than one. What happens next is up to her...

2023.03.25 02:49 SpiritualScale5459 How to cut personal strings with close coworker?

Here is why I (40) want to minimize contact with a close colleague(30) and devide work. My colleague suddenly ended our discussion. It was about what type of questions can we expect to be answered and which not - so nothing offensive. I basically point out what the expert we interviewed told us, but she gets very emotional and accuses me of ruining the good atmosphere. Also that everything I am basing my argument on is wrong. Indeed, I remembered some details from years ago wrong, but the main argument holds. I felt presented in front of my other colleagues. A colleague tries to mediate but she emphasizes that she only has such strenuous discussions with me and it must be my fault. We are not talking for the rest of the week.
On the next weekend I made the first step and wrote her a mail and asked for a clarifying discussion with outside help - nothing official just a mediator without protocol. She replies she does not need outside help, but if I insist we could ask someone. She takes a good amount of time to agree to a date. I have to push for it. During the clarifying discussion, my impression is that she would like to win the argument, but not mend our relationship. Her objection turns out to be a misunderstanding (or she presents it this way) but she also explains that discussions in general with me are too exhausting. Because she wants to work efficiently, she would often become agitated. My impression is she just wants to do as she pleases, but she is obliged to consult with me. The funny part is that I can not remember, when we did not come to a good solution in under 2 minutes or 5 messages, but these 2 minutes must be to much for her. She is the expert with more time allotted to the task, but I have other experiences, which sometimes should be considered for best results. She often wants to get the job done, but if mistakes happen, we both are in the line of fire and I to take fire for her. Therefore, there were events in the past where she tried to cut me out, but I unknowingly stumbled in, which let to slight misunderstandings, but nothing severe. (In hindsight I see the slippery slope.)
Since people are dependent on our joint work, I offer to continue working with her if we split work most of the time and that there are no more gaffes. In the weeks that follow, She makes efforts to become with me on good terms, but I am afraid that in time she might turn on me again. I did not tell her that. Instead I'm polite and friendly when we work together, but I avoid her company and any private conversations with her. To me this is a good arrangements, but I answer inquiries via WhatsApp by mail, but she keeps sending messages from time to time. I never speak badly of her, but coworkers notice my avoidance of her. I think that bugs her immensely and we are running into the next confrontation. What can I do?

2023.03.25 02:49 Prevatteism What does Bakunin mean?

I was recently reading up on Bakunin’s collectivist-anarchism, and came across this:
“Once collectivization takes place, money would be abolished to be replaced with labour notes and workers' salaries would be determined in democratic organizations based on job difficulty and the amount of time they contributed to production. These salaries would be used to buy goods in a communal market.”
My two questions are, what’s a “communal market”, and isn’t collectivist-anarchism opposed to markets?

2023.03.25 02:49 Attempt_Sober_Athlet Anhedonia BEFORE Alcoholism?

TLDR I think I was anhedonic before drinking, and am curious how to fix that
My coping mechanisms starting at 15 to escape the crazy weird family I grew up in went like this: Super busy, then binging porn any time I slacked off on massive willpower (I was in online college fulltime with a 4.0 working an oilfield job 70-80 hours a week, doing my homework on the job by bribing my co workers to drive so I could study in return I'd do the shittier work). Then something bad happened, and I started drinking almost every evening before bed and have ever since (33 ten years now). I tried like crazy to quit and just couldn't do it. And that was from a young man who grew up wrestling, training on my own, running long distance, and managing my own small lawn care business. I was just desperate and couldn't stay away from something, anything, to fill that void before I went to bed. Porn was the hardest to avoid cause it's always there and I was an abstinent christian, and beer became similar. 3-4/day in the beginning, 4-6 the last few years
Only difference is I'm not a workaholic any more I'm just burned out.
Anyway I got 3 days in a row sober this week, following a decent taper Fri/Sat (kept the porn to 30 minutes 1-2x/day, and 4-5 drinks) and going to church. I stayed and talked for 6 hours afterward. That's the second time I've done that-I think at least in part I'm just extremely lonely, and something about that time seemed to fill me up to the point that I felt at peace and didn't need the booze to drown it out. The previous week I stayed sober for one day, this week for 3.
Tuesday I did not go out to socialize, because I have this sense, like this intuition that when I force myself to do things in a certain way I //have// to make up that emotional debt-and I didn't feel like being back in the drinking cycle so I stayed home and went to sleep. That has NEVER cured my depression/anxiety before.
By day 4 I was started to feel sluggish and anhedonic and stuck, so I said fuck it, it's time to rage a little and get out of this rut. I bought an 18-pack of 6% beer (a lot for me) and drank 8 or 9 of them. Loud music, inspirational movies, yelling, hitting stuff. Got like 3 hours of sleep and had a super productive day, made some commitments, had mental clarity about a few important things (like signing up to volunteer).
Last night committed to 3 drinks at the bar dancing (actually had 2.5, and delayed them quite a lot as I felt so good starting out right after a cold shower) and instead of crushing the remaining 9 beers at home I stopped at 5, and didn't even save a hangover beer for myself the next morning. I poured them all out. I TRIED to whip myself into a frenzy again, had caffeine, even smelling salts. But it got old and I went to sleep. As any tired, healthy person would.
Then, of all things, this afternoon I started to watch porn, stopped when I realized I could save money by not, and then rationalized I would feel tired and not want to wash up afterward, so I stopped.
Anyway I am just mulling this over constantly, wondering how I got messed up (seems simple enough in one sense, my family was just a miserable sober version of white knuckle sobriety and I was never allowed to relax or be myself, so I felt like shit and first extreme busyness/athletics and then porn then alcohol filled the void) and how to fix it.
Anyway. Anyone else depressed before they drank? How'd you fix each problem?

2023.03.25 02:48 hiddentickun Pain After Shoulder Dislocation

Hi. I've had several shoulder dislocations growing up but in the past 4 years i had 2 that needed ER sedation to pop back in. I finally saw a sports medicine doc who ordered a MRI. I have a chronic fracture in my shoulder along with arthritis, a cyst and bone chipping. 1 week after the MRI i reached into my back seat and my shoulder dislocated again. Had to go to the ER again. I'm approved for surgery just waiting on a date at this point.
My question is: it's been almost 2 months and the pain is still bad. My shoulder down to mid back/blade ache 24/7. Usually I was back to normal after a week. I've been taking advil and my prescribed Naproxen but is this normal?

2023.03.25 02:48 ZealousidealPay4212 Looking for advice and opinions

25 yr old female 95lbs After 15 long years of migraines my pcp finally thought it would be necessary for me to get a c-spine and brain mri. This is only because for the last two years I have been complaining of relentless neck and left shoulder pain, arm numbness, more frequent dizzy/fainting spells and balancing problems to accompany my everyday headaches and severely debilitating migraines. My MRI’s revealed chiari malformation 1 (5mm) and a small syrinx. I had to quit my serving job 8 months ago because the everyday lifting and straining of carrying trays put me in constant pain that I could not escape. I have quite a lineup and strict routine of treatments devices and medications I use daily to feel remotely normal in my everyday life. This includes: a special sleep pillow and no less than 8 hours of sleep a night, a foam cervical pillow, heating pad, lidocaine patches, theragun, tens unit.. taking gabapentin 3 times a day, sumatriptan every other day, and zofran when I get nauseous. I get a medical massage every 2 weeks and occipital nerve blocks every 6-8 weeks. I have tried physical therapy, several medications like muscle relaxers, ubrelvy and topomax, Botox, and several shoulder injections. Gabapentin helps lessen the neck and shoulder pain and the occipital nerve block will lessen my amount of migraines for about 4 weeks. Other than that I have not found anything that can help more significantly. I cried happy tears when I finally got I diagnosed. I was gaslit by absolutely everyone that nothing was wrong with me for the last 15 years. The fainting and dizziness was always because I was “underweight”. The migraines were always because I was “dehydrated” “stressed” or “tired”. My new doctor is finally making me feel seen and heard. He is trying his best to help me but he is not a neurosurgeon or neurologist so there is only so much he can do. I saw my first neurosurgeon today and he just wanted a few minutes of time to tell my why I shouldn’t get the surgery, shake my hand and move on to the next patient. He did not care about any of my symptoms and did not want to answer any of my questions. He said 5mm herniation some doctors would not even consider to be chiari and syrinx is normal and common and no cause for concern. He told me it is unlikely any of my symptoms are even caused by this. He proceeded to tell me horror story’s of surgery complications and said “if you think you are in pain and your headaches are bad now, get the surgery and see how you’re gonna feel after that. I promise it’s way worse.” I was told i should ultimately just try acupuncture or to see a chiropractor. Needless to say I will not be seeing that neurosurgeon again. The worst part is grandmother was with me for the appointment and now she thinks I might not even have chiari although I have been told so by many other doctors. I am gaslit once again. I have two questions: 1. Has anyone ever tried acupuncture and what were your results? (I am willing to try anything that could offer some relief.) 2. Is it necessary to travel out of state to see a chiari specialist?
