I know it's cliche but hang in there. You are loved. We are your family. Need somebody to vent to, we're hear. Need someone to yell at, we're here. Need someone to cry with, we're here. Never forget that.
Now I need to vent for a moment. I had surgery today. It was scheduled before Coachella, but while at Coach I realized something more was going on. Had other doctor & my physical therapist scaring me that I had torn my acl in one knee, other was questionable. Not the type of recovery I had planned to deal with.
So anyway, surgery was this morning. Took just a little longer than expected, and when the doctor goes out to tell Brad how it went, he couldn't find him. Brad was on a work call & had stepped out into the lobby. So, I have had no idea what is going on with my knees. Nurse told me I could walk, very little, but walk on them. One is very noticeably bandaged more, swollen, hurts way more than the other. I curse myself for having them both at the same time.
I finally got a call from my doctor. At 9:55 tonight. He says how one knee will be more difficult to heal, will be more bothersome. Will definitely need to get back in PT for. When I ask what was actually the problem & what he did, he tells me to just bring the photos I was given to my post op appt (that hasn't even been made yet!) & we'll discuss. He tells me it's probably not a good idea to drive tomorrow (d'uh) like he had told me before surgery, to keep ice on it more than originally suggested.
I am really trying to not be ill. I know he must had had a busy day & I do appreciate him finally calling me. But I want answers. I want to know what was wrong & how he fixed it. That doesn't seem like too much to ask, right? GRRRR, so aggravated right now. And to top it off, my sweet, kind, helpful nurse husband has turned into Nurse Ratchet. I would so love to sleep if I wasn't so fucking uncomfortable, wasn't hurting & itching like crazy. GRRRRRRRR
I liked this for the first portion... definitely not the surgery part
I can't even imagine going through surgery or any health situation and have to sit and wait to find out the details of what's happening/going on with me. that must be really torturous. the only positive I can say is that in the long run the surgery will most definitely be what's best for you!
I just wanna give some big-ass hugs to everyone who's posted in the past couple pages. Everyone who's lost someone, everyone dealing with medical issues or work stress, or just needlessly getting down on themselves. I love the crap outta all you fine folks and hope things get better soon.

not being able to sleep sucks, im sure especially so after your ordeal. being itchy is the worst. Having them both done at once may be sucky, but hopefully that shortens the overall time you are dealing with it.

This Thread is for us when we need to vent, or get something off our chest just so we can better get through the day. I was going to start a new thread to vent about whats pissing me off, but why not have a single thread for everyone to vent on . . .
Ok, heres mine, i put it on my blog, heres the link, but ill copy to here (mikearoo.blogspot.com)
Ok, last night, i got home from work fine, but when i tried to run a quick errand last night (beer run), the "fucking" piece of "shit" wouldnt start. Im guessing the starter is shot. Spent my last money till payday overdrawing my account, just so i can get to work till next Friday, but now that doesnt matter, cause i cant even start it. GRRRRR!!! and just last week, i dropped close to $500 to for basically an entire new brake system, and it HAD to be done.
So today was my first public transportation expierence in Delaware. It wasnt that bad. Everything was on time, and it was kind of relaxing. The only thing that sucked was all the stops on the way from Rodney Square to 202. Thank you to Ashley Reynold for taking me to the mall to catch the bus i missed at Walther road, and to Angela who supplied me with 5 bucks.
So it only costs 1.15 for a one way pass and 2.40 for an all day pass. That 12 bucks a week if you buy an all day pass everyday. The only thing that sucks is the time it takes. I didnt mind it in the morning, but if i had to do it at night, it would take forever to get home. I was thinking maybe id do this more often, even when my car works, cause #1 it saves money, #2 im lessening my enviromental impact by not emmiting exhaust from my car, and #3 some of the Dart buses, if not all are hybrid's now. The only thing that sucks is the time.
That one time in 2007 i had to ride the bus, and 7 or so years later this thread is still here!
But i have to say that its crazy to look back at the troubles i used to have. Im very grateful for the opportunities that i have been afforded since then, and where i am now. Life changes, but one thing that hasnt changed is my love for Bonnaroo and this community.

I'm so glad that it's helped people. Venting is healthy! I don't post to much as here but I'm always around. I'm Mike and I run the Facebook page.
One of my coworkers is looking for an English Bulldog and my other coworker gets super obsessive about things. (Like when this same girl was starting her house hunt Heather would send her houses everyday and shit. It was ridiculous. I needed a hotel for ACL last year and she went crazy trying to find me a good deal. Seriously, she'd text me hotel deals like daily.)
Anyways, so Heather is scouring the internet for a dog for Danielle and she's looking breeders and shit only. So she tells Danielle that she found one 2 hours from here for $1,000. When I made a comment about not buying from breeders and looking into rescues and NOT paying $1,000 for a dog they (mostly Heather) started ganging up on me for spending the amount I did on seeing MACCA and my Futurehoop. Then when I stated she can do whatever she wants with her money I'm just saying not to pay $1,000 to a breeder Heather went off about how rescues have only "fucked up" dogs. Her exact quote "If I'm going to get a fucked up dog, I'm going to get it when it's a puppy and do it myself then dealing with someone's sloppy seconds." Seriously, bitch? That's why you won't go to a shelter or a rescue?!
It just really bothers me that someone would think that way. That they would intentionally not rescue or adopt a pet because the animal is "used". Ugh. She sucks. Danielle prefers to find a rescue but isn't looking at shelters bc she wants a purebred. So I guess that's better than nothing...

My best friend just told me he's moving back to Nashville this summer. He lived in Nashville for 5 years and I barely saw him but last summer he moved to Western PA. He and his wife weren't happy so going back to Nashville. Difference of a 3 hour drive and an 11 hour drive. I'm really depressed about this, almost feel like going home from work.

That's really tough I'm sorry. I have my best friends spread out across the country and it really sucks with the ones who live far away
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

That is so sad. It's rough when you can't be close to people you care about. So sorry. Spend as much time with him as you can before he leaves.
...... I'm at the coffee shop tying to finish my last few grad school application essays. the place I'm at has garage door-style front windows that they can lift up when it's nice out.
they just came by and said "we're going to open the front wall doors because it's nice out!"
it's not even 50 fucking degrees out. I'm now freezing my ass off and am going to have to go somewhere else because I can't concentrate with a 45 degree breeze coming at me.

It's such a difficult thing to experience when you've grown up with heavy and constant depression, growing and learning to balance and even ignore it, then seeing the young beautiful faces you love slowly walk off into those woods alone. Seeing my friends slowly march toward that burden is overwhelming, I want to tell them I love them and that they deserve more, but I'm also well aware that positive reinforcement and these sort of "you deserve better" statements only make their steps toward the woods lighter. Who am I to tell them what they deserve? I've only learned to silence my lesser thoughts, they've never left my side they've only learned patience.
I've held off bitching here all day but... I pulled my back this morning. I was sitting down and picked up a piece of paper. Seriously!?! The pain comes in waves and right now I'm dying. My best friend has this electrod thing that's supposed to help and she was going to bring it over. She forgot and now she's not. At least not tonight. The pain is back. I can't sleep. I'm not comfortable and my guy is offshore. Doctor appointment in the morning. I've never pulled my back before. Is it possible I'll wake up fine? I feel like a pussy. Sorry to rant. I blame it on pain, no pain killers and not being able to go outside and have corn.

Have you tried looking up English bulldog rescues and maybe suggested that? I never knew purebred rescues were so common until recently. A lot of people give up Bulldogs because people buy them and don't anticipate the health problems that unfortunately are fairly common in the breed so they give them up.
My sister insisted in only getting a French bulldog and bought one from a breeder. The dog ended up being super sick and needed thousands in surgery but that's another story. Anyways, she wants another one and I found a few frenchie rescues and luckily she's decided on adopting and not buying. You can even find younger dogs who need a home.

I don't get how people can show up to work late or call in time and time again with no repercussions. Yet if you work your ass off, rarely call in, fill in for people who did, and then you ask for 5 days off work two months in advance you're 'being a burden.'
I love my job, but the people I work with/for suck a fat one.

I have donated so much money to the French Bulldog Rescue Network and have my Amazon Smile linked to them. I am obsessed. My niece is a frenchie and it has overtaken my life/instagram feed. Those of you who are my snap friends... I'll be cuddling with her smushy face next week! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
