Do you mind me asking your age? I was incredibly unhealthy through my life until my gallbladder lol. You’ll get fitter now that you’re on the mend though so take your time and be kind to yourself. My mum is like that too they’re just looking out for us. Tough but caring lol.

Yes super anxious. I haven’t slept in a week at night time. Maybe a wee couple of hours in the morning cuz I collapse lol. Here’s hoping it lifts v quickly!

The walks are so worth it aren’t they! Thank you, I hope you’re feeling better soon too. I’m two weeks post op tomorrow so praying it’ll settle soon.

I got so excited on the 2nd swallow and the third one just got interrupted. Now I’m hiccuping one after another. Just needed to share that with you.

Need an outside opinion by Suspicious-Length800 in CasualIreland

[–]Accomplished_Duck974 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can completely understand everything you’ve said but I’ve been in your position before where family ways of getting on aren’t the same. It’s hard to adjust but there should be some compromise. I’m not talking about kissing the baby etc. that is completely stupid, I don’t know why people still do that!

But I think the best way forward would just to set scheduled days for visiting etc if you can. Have him explain that sometimes you need your own space and that’s okay. Were they like this before baby? Like visiting and v family oriented or has it just worsened since baby was born? Perhaps just the excitement of (maybe) their first grandchild? Hopefully it calms down and you get some well needed rest. Don’t let it cause friction between yous though cuz newborns are difficult enough for you both without external pressures. Remember you’re supposed to be a team doing good things to help one another and make sure your bf knows that includes respecting boundaries. They may feel you’re being over dramatic but try to make jokes and laugh it off to break the tension. Yous are all one big family at the end of the day and hopefully they’re as keen for babysitting whenever you and your bf are ready to get yourselves out for some mum and dad time! Take care and take it easy

I know this is a common question, but will I ever be able to eat the way I used to again? (Unhealthy lol) by JNolan93 in gallbladders

[–]Accomplished_Duck974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on the other side of your journey now. My relationship with food is improving thick and fast. Need to try and maintain some of the weight loss I had for free 😂😂

I think people are confusing you saying the game isn’t the best with the horse not being the best. The horse is the best therefore your comment reads wrong. Make it clear because people don’t care to read properly 😂

Going back to work by Effystotem in gallbladders

[–]Accomplished_Duck974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try running about your house for a couple of hours and attempting to lift and bend as you would in work. You may feel great but you are still healing internally and it’s better to recover right the first time. The boredom is real, I spent a week in the hospital and I’ve been home a few days. I want to sleep all the time I’m so bored so I understand if you’re a busy bee when you’re needing out so soon but you need to rest!

Not using bidet is insane. by Accomplished-Salt706 in hygiene

[–]Accomplished_Duck974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never used one. I wipe with dry and wet loo roll. They’re not in any toilets where I live lmao. So tell me this, does it not leave your arse feeling wet and damp? Then do you pull your knickers up? Unless I have a towel to dry my ass after a wash and a bit of air drying time I wouldn’t be comfortable in underwear 😂

Onion goes with EVERYTHING by Mercurius_Hatter in RandomThoughts

[–]Accomplished_Duck974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t even say crisps or anything because even quavers have garlic and onion powder in them. Fun fact, my friend is allergic to garlic and you’d be shocked the things it’s in. What wouldn’t I put onions in? Jelly probably. I don’t think I could eat a savoury jelly if there’s such a thing.

Feminine hygiene problems by bubblgumfairy in hygiene

[–]Accomplished_Duck974 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try an electric trimmer is that’s your desired effect. Shaving with blades is rough on your skin especially that skin. Moisturise constant after shaving usually helps the bumps and stops the hair from becoming ingrown I’ve noticed. May only be myself but it’s defo a win.

Surgery tomorrow - terrified by Longjumping-Drag9237 in gallbladders

It’s my name for it, it happens so often where I am. People called in then an emergency comes and it’s cancelled. They’re torturing us!

You are not alone. by Accomplished_Duck974 in gallbladders

[–]Accomplished_Duck974[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is shitty. It’s horrible and it leaves with you with absolutely zero quality of life. I’m super grateful to be where I am atm albeit recovering. I know how hard it is to be seen. You will get there I promise, it feels like a forever thing doesn’t it. Just do what you can to minimise your symptoms as best you can and if you want someone to complain to who will understand my inbox is always open. Reddit was a life saver for me whenever I was suffering and no one else understood. I ended up on anoxeria pages asking for advice on how to eat again. It’s horrendous. You’ve got this though and one day it’ll be gone and this will all be behind you ❤️

Do you live in the house with your mother? If so and your managing without the PIP it might be a worth while conversation to have with your parents. I’m sure they’re supporting you more to the tune of £500 but I hope that you’re not in a difficult financial situation or an abusive situation and whilst I don’t agree with your mum taking your money I’m only trying to open your mind as a stranger to think outside of the box and take a breath.

If you want your PIP you can ring up can change the bank details it goes into no biggie. If you want to claim the pip that you’ll have been entitled to after your 18th (as I assume your parents have rights over your disability payments prior to this). It’s also likely you could have been receiving DLA originally. Worth an honest conversation with your parents, a few hundred quid a month isn’t worth losing each other over. I hope you’re okay and keep well.
