@lakelady It took me a minute to refresh my memory - https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/05/16/life-6-weeks-post-rotator-cuff-surgery-slap-labrum-repair/ but I remember the reason for all of this sling, recliner, no action healing was because the tendon has to re-attach to my bone and that takes a …
@lakelady i think it was the full 6 weeks. The issue was weight pulling back on my arm. gravity pulling back on it while laying down was just too painful. I only 2 opioids (oxy?) for 2 days because that stuff scares me and honestly sleeping at a 25-45 degree angle was just way more comfortable than …
@lakelady It totallly was 12 weeks of very limited motion. Every day got better but being in a sling for that long was just awful. Shoulder takes longer than almost anything else. I’ve had coworkers with knee surgery, hip surgery, ankle and back surgery. None had to sleep in a recliner for 6 weeks.
@lakelady Yes! Ice machine and I had one of these things - https://www.polarproducts.com/polarshop/pc/Polar-Active-Ice-3-0-Broad-Coverage-Shoulder-Upper-Arm-Cold-Therapy-System-9-Quart-Cooling-Reservoir-p22962.htm got it from a medical supply store for cheaper than list. All you do is dump the water …
@lakelady I will say, I was very self-sufficient. I did one-handed weed whacking 2 days later. The hardest part was typing one handed. Having someone to chance ice and get me meds was nice but not essential. After 4 weeks, I was still in the sling for 8 weeks but after 4 weeks, I’d work at my laptop …
@lakelady HELLO! I did read your post about the surgery but when I saw “replacement” I chose to butt out and not give any unsolicited advice. Mine was a “labrum tear” of only 5mm (just over partial) I was in a sling for 4 weeks with no movement at all. Sling on 24/7 and sleeping upright in a …
My wife has adopted the nickname "Edge Case Adam" for me and I think it fits here.
Second, Bumble BFF is not available to download on Mac or iPad and there is no website. So all of the conversations you have with people you match with must take place on a phone. I don't message people on my phone and refuse to have a conversation that's typed out on a cell phone screen. So …
A coworker convinced me to join Bumble BFF. It's clearly an app that shares 90% of its code with a dating app. Every profile you swipe left or right on is 90% of the screen occupied by the person's face. I don't care what my future BFF looks like. I care about who they are. A BFF app …
24 Hours until Vision Pro!
@kolin Get some Chicken Noodle up in you.
I switched from Pmachine to Expression Engine in 2004 and then to Wordpress in 2006. I’ve been on Wordpress ever since. Going to learn Ghost this weekend. Should be fun.
@Pschiller is there a download-all option at first boot? I need to fill that 1 terabyte on day one :P
I like it.
New domain purchased, new hosting server ordered. Going to try my hand at paid writing for the first time in a very long time. Last time I was paid to write was for Om Malik's The Apple Blog way back in the day.
What's the best CMS provider for someone who wants to offer daily updates / link blog, weekly essays (i.e. stratechery) and a podcast with video hosted on YouTube that can charge people for some things but not everything and publish all updates to a free & paid newsletter list? Ghost seems …
I'm really lucky to have fantastic medical insurance sponsored by my employer but these figures still seem absolutely insane when you consider an average American salary is significantly less than all of this.
Requested final billing summary from insurance for 2023 which is the first year I've ever actually gone to a doctor more than once. surgeries, visits, child birth, overall wellness Insurance billed out $202,000 USD in work. $75,000 of which was Heather's week in the hospital delivering our …
An Apple Vision Pro in my Apple Store cart tonight decreased from 6 weeks shipping and no store pickup to 2 weeks and a 2/5 store pickup date. Apple increasing production or people cancelling preorders due to today’s reviews or scalpers realizing they can’t make enough profit?
@chockenberry Backed!
If I can shoot 4K 60FPS from Vision Pro, it frees up my hands for the work I'm performing. Lots of things I record require a tripod because I don't have a camera operator. 2 hours is plenty of battery when working on a project. It looks like that use case will need to come in 2-4 years.
One of my Vision Pro use cases was my car / motorcycle repair videos filmed in POV so basically I wear the device and record doing an oil change. What I see, the viewer sees...either live stream it or record and upload to YouTube later but the Verge confirms the quality just isn't there for …
I'm really looking forward to binging through all of the Vision Pro reviews that are dropping - https://www.macrumors.com/review/apple-vision-pro/
Inspired by @gruber and @MikeTRose who were both posting old screenshots of DMs. The moment iJustine discovered emoji and thought i should know about it.
@MikeTRose I remember that avatar.
