@Typo-MAGAshiv I gather that of late, its not nice to blacks originating from outside its boundaries either. They are throwing a lot of in particular Nigerians out. Of course this is done a lot more harshly than Western countries throw out immigrants and done sometimes by mobs but no one cares because they can't be racist in South Africa... right?
Did you mean to reply this in some other thread?
@Typo-MAGAshiv It's a failed state. I would never want to go there.
Sorry I missed the first post regarding this.
I am glad to hear it went well and seems to be a success.
Now, the hard part of recovering begins. It will take a lot of restraint to NOT get up and start doing the things that need to be done.
Stay down as much as possible, enjoy it while you can.
In addition to the difficulty of maintaining an LTR in the current mating landscape, this might also have to do with the "Fast vs Slow life strategy" model. LTRs need more pronounced Slow traits.
@Kloi Hoes show that women can be very nice when they want to be. Its astonishing how women can be so nice when they think they are going to benefit, yet ignore a man from whom they benefit greatly daily.
Its all about what they are getting, not what they have. Somehow a LTR needs to still leave her wanting to work to get more not take for granted what she has.
It's crazy how you can go from a relationship of 2 years plus to hos and the hos have more respect than the singular woman of two years.
There is some fault of my own for getting lazy or excepting behaviors that I shouldn't in a LTR.
My experience, to some fault of my own, is hos treat me better, than I require from LTRs.
Update!
Surgery was this morning. Everything seems to have gone well. I can reposition myself on the bed without substantial pain, which is a dramatic improvement over when I came in. Even got up and went to the bathroom today.
Was told I've a reasonably good chance of being discharged tomorrow if the ortho staff sign off on it. Here's hoping.
As I've said before, I'm glad the hospital is here and incredibly grateful to the staff keeping me (relatively) comfortable and well fed, but I miss my bed. And my cats. And food that doesn't taste like beige.
I really have. And this one is entirely my own stupid fault.
I'm not going to beat myself up over it too much; it was a stupid mistake but it's not like I was deliberately doing something dangerous in poor conditions. I've fallen just like that a few times since the first accident and always been alright. Just bad luck it resulted in a break this time.
Financial damage remains to be seen. I have health insurance this time, which is good, but I seem to recall going with a plan with a fairly high deductible because I didn't expect to be in this sort of predicament again.
I repeat, more fool me.
I'll have to pay for at least some of the repairs to the bike too. Harleys have a two year But Nothing warranty but that doesn't cover tipping the bike. The guy I worked with at the dealership said they're doing what they can to help me out given the circumstances, but I'll probably be out at least a few hundred dollars. I can handle that as long as it doesn't push too high.
