i've done the final boss on 6 different toons and got the 2 FOS chieves.. the thing is, this kind of content is really made for my playstyle (uber-casual) but short of doing the final boss, short of the first time doing it, the main part of the labyrinth just has too much time-committment especially when you consider the partial progress feature isn't even a thing. Maybe in it's as-is form, it could work for that amount of time if it fills all your world vault slots. If you want granular world content done in bite-sized chunks, stick with prey/t-11 delves for now.

The fight phases seem fixed until the last 25% or so where random overlaps happen. Which phase are you hitting the wall? Do u reliably get to the “mechanic showcase” where each thing the boss does happens one at a time in the same order?

I did it on guardian druid with Valeera as DPS, venom and dundun curios.the speed boost u get from progressing really helps as well as the mask buffs.

Thankfully this pain went away for me entirely about 2.5 months post op. I haven’t taken a single pain med or NSAID in 4 weeks now. I hope yours resolves as well!

I had a pretty consistent thunk like feeling when I first started walking post op. Went away after a month or two. Op hip is now whisper quiet and feels strong… other hip though … oof… gonna need to go for round 2 sooner rather than later!

The acute pain from surgery lasts from what I’ve seen 3-5 days. The little weird minor pains that are usually just the body getting used to things can last weeks to months. Everybody’s experience with those is very specific to the person. I had these weird nerve pains that started week 4 and I had to manage with a daily NSAIDs until about 3 months. Now, I don’t take any meds.

I switched to walker to can on day 3 but again it’s all about your situation. No need to rush, do what feels right.

Doing anything near my feet with footwear clothing sucks in those first 5-7 days. Use your tools for putting on socks and shoes if you bought some, or get a little help from someone.

Numbness in a variety of places on your operated leg is pretty normals from what I’ve observed here. Happened to me for sure even after a few months. It didn’t prevent me still getting back to doing stuff I wanted to do in short order.

Good luck in your recovery! You’re part of the club now! Woohoo!

Back when I lived in the valley and we had dogs I’d make nightly trips around the yard with a black light and a hammer. I had used spray stuff before but after some nights of that I felt bad for putting them through agonizing death. The hammer makes it fast and won’t be hindered by their carapace. They were nesting in the siding planks of the house next door. But they typically find the places most accommodating and don’t cost their lot in pesticide, ie be where the weakest link is

I felt like I could drive maybe a week or so post-op, but since I had a 2-week appointment with surgeon office I just waited for them to eval me objectively and give me the clearance. It's really a safety thing, they want you to be able to operate the vehicle without too much discomfort and be able to respond to traffic situations (slam on brakes eg). Assuming no complications with your hip, I bet you'll be cleared the same.

On your way up, you can stop by fort Tuthill and check out Soldiers loop trail or connect it to HIghland loop. In town there’s mars hill, Macmillan mesa, Campbell mesa, fat man’s loop, buffalo park, AZ trail. Even just picking a segment on the multitude of FUTS trails can be nice for dogs. Bushmaster park is nice too. Wherever you go bring something to mitigate mosquitoes! After the few weeks of rain we got, they are out in force!

Whether you have AVN or not, after going through the process, my opinion is to go through the THR if you're having to modify what you want/love to do. From what you say, it's not physically pointing that way, it's at least on your mind. It's arguable that you're there now, but you're already modifying movements. If the pain isn't there and the modifications are acceptable to you, hold off, sure. But as soon as the compromise isn't worth what you're giving up, then proceed.

I’m going through those pains right now. I’m 7 weeks post op and I started getting those pains at about week 4. The doc explained that reflective nerve pain and just all the soft tissue affected during surgery and adjust with new hip geometry are a common thing. Basically, I was just told to be patient. Yuck! Haha, I’ve actually been mitigating it with some Tylenol timed around a workout or walk. I have a desk job and I use my smart watch to tell me to stand up and shift and move and shake it out a bit which helps.

I’ve been on the Tylenol train as well! I’ve found it pretty effective at cutting the edge off that nerve pain. I also picked up a massage gun to see if I can get some of the other muscles to loosen up a smidge. Best to you as well!

I can't remember how many days it took me to where I could at least do the shoe job by myself. Proabably at least a week, maybe 10 days? I've got long lanky arms so I could sit on the edge of the bed or couch and sling a sock at the full extent of the tips of my fingers, then sneak a toe in there and then shimmy the sock on the foot. I Intentionally wore slip on shoes that I could just jam my foot into from a standing position. Just a few days after that, I could switch to any lace-up shoes I wanted. I'm 6 weeks out now and shoes of any kind aren't a problem. Everybody's hip flexibility will be different though. Try not to measure yourself against anyone here just accept the progress you've made!

The pain is intermittent for me as well. For me the pains are usually fresh after getting up out of bed or standing up from sitting. Each time i do one of those things I wince in preparation for the pain! I hope it resolves soon!

Oh! the massage gun, that's probably a good idea!

I just try to be sensible on the road. I try to prioritize roads with dedicated bike space, ride in the daytime, avoid the congestion, etc. Those are probably easy for most folks. On the more opinionated front, I try to never take the lane... ever ... never ever ever. For whatever reason, when I'm riding on surfaces shared with vehicles, I will bend over backwards to allow space for them to pass, or travel along with. I try to put myself in the mind of drivers where we on bikes are moving *at best* 30-50% the speed of vehicle traffic and are perceived as a slow nuisance. I can't point to data or logic as to why I do this, it's just what I do and what I feel in my gut. I'll be curious to see what other folks do in this thread.

I just used one single dose of a powdered OTC laxative on day 4 or 5 and holy hell, it was glorious

Check out the Watch Duty app. Great wild fire tracking app. Fight man’s loop is in the foothills of Elden but I’m not seeing one there. But maybe word hasn’t gotten around

To geddys left you can see hands holding a phone and blond hair in the corona of his eclipsing head :-) that might me Annika

I've heard about this "winter only" route, but never tried it. I don't honestly have any desire to, but for folks like OP who ask, are there any logistics to consider if the hill is open for skiers? I know they don't allow people looking to snow play on the mountiain, but not sure what concessions they make to hikers just looking to hoof it.

if you really wanna hike in the winter and you see any snow at the peak from town level, crampons are not at all overkill! The town is at roughly 7000' elevation, but the *base* of the hike starts around 9000' and weather changes quick as soon as you start driving north on 180 to snow bowl road. And then as you get on your way to 12k', until you get up there, you won't know if the snow is fresh and soft or has gone through week(s) of daytime melting overnight freezing and could be slick and icy. Heck, slipping and falling on a patch of week-old ice walking to a restaurant in town can ruin your day and put you in a cast, that same thing happening at 10k+' on Humphey's is a whole new mess.

If the snow trends go like they’ve been the past few years you might only have some cold winds at worse to deal with. If you catch it with snow up there or are looking to do it with snow as some kind of challenge, you might have several feet of snow to slog through all the way up. Those hikes you’ve list ever been done in semi-alpine conditions? You got the winter gear for it?

I’ll add that when I’ve piled up local commits on my feature branch and there’s been drift from other dev work on main, then I’ll do a :

Git rebase —-keep-base -i

That’ll will allow me to squash my commits without conflict to where my branch started.

Then I’ll do the

Git rebase -i

And do one pass of conflict resolution

I don’t see a way other than bending those supports on the rack that bolt to the stays. I’ve got a rack where those supports are adjustable rails, eg the topeak explorer to see an example

Compared to PHX, Flagstaff is a cakewalk to navigate. The main road through town is Milton and if you came down from 89 or 180 from Utah en route to PHX, you drove right down it! The Chick Filet is directly off Milton with the only catch being that if you're traveling south on Milton, you can't legally make a left turn into the parking lot. You drive like another 50 feet to the traffic light where you can make an easy legal left turn, then another quick left at the Dunkin entrance (they share the same parking lot) and you can bury your troubles in waffle fries.

In my time here, traffic can bog down at certain times of the year (NAU move in/out weekends, overland expo, rodeo, fresh snowfall) but it's nowhere close to the jams I experienced in my 28 years that I lived in the valley!

Your other experiences of food poisoning, getting lost in the woods and flat tires well... somebody just get got sometimes :-P

I think it’s fair to assume some degree of spaced out feeling depending on whatever cocktail they give you. Don’t try to transport yourself home after surgery. Don’t expect to be fully cognitively “there” for at least some days after surgery. For me, I had both spinal block and GA. I was told I asked the staff what day it was after waking up. Yeah, don’t expect too much of yourself.
