I can tell my almost dying story if we're all bored since every doctor I ever meet basically tells me I'm like the luckiest person ever.

Sure, but if I'm not amazed by the end I want a refund.

Thanks! honestly I pulled the picture from google because it wouldn't let me upload mine. I have two labradoodles that look identical though

I sure hope we don't have to give these google images back, I like being a bread chair.

My mom always told me the men ones are way nicer than the women ones and women who don't want to go to the guy doctors are dumb...don't know how true that is.

1st time I had a woman, it was horrible. I have only been to men for the last 25 years.

I guess I could go to Walmart and make a chair out of Natures own honey wheat bread. but I'm saving that as something to do later.

I could take the loaves down to the TP/Paper towels and make them inside a TP/Paper towel fort.

and then I could put everything back where it goes

So basically I'm at work and it's dark as all fuck and I slip on some ice outside and I land in a completely awkward way. It causes a rupture of my proximal hamstring tendon (the one that attaches the muscle to your ass). Or as they call it "a proximal tendon avulsion" either way it hurt like a son of a fuck. I go to the hospital they bend my legs...when they bend the one I tore a mass builds that looks like a basketball under my skin. I'm told I need to see an orthopedic surgeon quickly. So I end up at home that night and the next morning I have to make calls...

My work, this a part time job delivering pizza's as my real job was the post office at the time, is being very annoying and not wanting to give me any info to make any time of claims or arrangements. Even hanging up on me and just being fucking assholes. So I hire a lawyer and magically I have a doctors appointment and things are taken care of at that point. So I go see this workmans comp DR and well you know how they are..I tell him I'm pretty sure I tore something etc etc.

He basically tells me he doesn't think so, meanwhile the back of my leg is 50 shades of purple and he's pushing on it which makes me scream in pain. I get an MRI scheduled etc to make sure I'm good and it's just some tearing of my muscle and that's it. So a few days later I have this MRI, they give me crutches and all..however I can walk without them which made me think maybe it's not as bad as I first thought. However because it's my right leg I can not drive at all because it puts pressure right in the spot. So I have this MRI done...it was the worst laying in a tiny tube for a half hour not moving is difficult.

Then like a week later I go back to the doctor so we can go over my MRI. He pulls this up on his laptop basically goes "see how this looks? that's suppose to be attached and it's not" basically tells me it's a really bad rupture and I need surgery immediately or he won't be able to fix it. So I get surgery schedule for a few days from this. Go in have my surgery done....he tells us it's about a 45 minute procedure. Mine lasts about 4 hours because apparently when my hamstring tendon rolled down my leg it entangled itself with my sciatic nerve and they attached themselves together and developed scar tissue. So he spent a huge portion of the surgery unattaching them and removing scar tissue from my leg. Long story short there he pulls my tendon back up and screws it back into my pelvis with anchor screws I'll always have..having permanent screws sucks by the way. I also have issues with my sciatic nerve that I never had before...

So after this they let me go home after the surgery, same day all that. A few days later, mind you I can't really move, I'm suppose to be not weight bearing for 2 months. I end up with a blood clot in my lung...a pulminary embolism which is why all these doctors always tell me I'm lucky since apparently if you get one of these you usually die. So luckily I didn't die but I had to take blood thinners for like 7 months. So overall I had that injury in January and I wasn't recovered until August. I ended up suing Papa Johns for how they handled the whole situation.

With the cost of my surgery and my settlement Papa Johns paid something like 70 grand for me that year..sure they were happy about that. Oddly I really didn't take any of my painkillers because I hated how they made me feel, like I constantly needed a nap. And for anyone that wonders how bad rupturing that tendon is, every person I met in the process had not seen it before. My surgeon when I asked if he had done the surgery before said "this exact surgery" none of the PT people had seen it, it's pretty rare. Apparently having any type of open hamstring surgery is odd..so yea I have a pretty good size scar right under my ass from it...for anyone wanting a comparison for what it's on par with I was told by the surgeon it's basically on par with an ACL tear or an Achillies rupture.

NO! NO! You make your chair like a proper British Bakeoff showstopper!

You're really gonna have to wait on that one.
one time I wanted pizza rolls (think cinnamon roll, but with pizza toppings instead). it took me over a month to make them. I just didn't get around to it.

When I learned how to make Pizza dough really well (and sauce!) I made pizza like 5x a week for the whole winter. Oven always on, bread always baking. Hnnggg... Used to send my husband into work with loaves for his coworkers.

This makes me excited for cold winter times!

Haha, the only time I took them was when I slept because they wanted me to wear this big brace like I tore my ACL which made it really hard..it was strong stuff to, oxycodone.

Oddly I actually did not wear the brace very often..I wore it when I had to deal with people or they'd yell at me that was about it...I guess my strategy worked because I got to walk 2 weeks early, anything they gave me to do I really went full bore. The lady at first just told me to try to stretch my leg using the living room ottoman in front of the couch for an hour a day...I'd do it all day. I honestly thought I could have walked a month early and he had me stand up...then made me wait. I was not happy.
