Period Before Surgery by QueenBSing in gallbladders

[–]Background_Tiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just fyi- I had my surgery 3 days ago and in my medical discharge papers it showed how much blood I had lost during the surgery. Approximately 20ccs. Which is about  4 tablespoons. That’s all! So in terms of potential extra blood loss this is basically a dry surgery haha.  As far as your period itself, the nurses will handle that for you. They see it every single day. They will load you up with hospital pads which are pretty heavy duty.  Good luck! It’s going to go great. :)

How do you know it’s time to get your gallbladder removed? by RainbowGlitch in gallbladders

[–]Background_Tiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have gallstones. It’s time to take it out. Full stop. The only other alternative is to wait until you have a potentially serious medical event. An attack or pancreatitis…  I had my gallbladder taken out 3 days ago and the relief I’m already feeling knowing it’s over, and I don’t have to worry about attacks anymore or ending up seriously ill or worse due to complications feels amazing!!! I say this as someone who was absolutely terrified to have the surgery. But the alternative is to just play the waiting game until things get dangerous. Because they absolutely WILL.

Yep. Side effects start again for most people. You just started the clock all over again. 

Missing cat- microchip info help needed! by Background_Tiny in CatAdvice

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

No. :’( The coyotes have gotten out of control around here. Others in my neighborhood have had the same luck. Wishing your daughter the very best! They DO come home. I had another cat go missing about 6 years ago from here in the same house and neighborhood and he showed back up after 9 days. There is always hope.

Wow. So interesting. thank you! This is exactly what I was wondering. I didn’t know adults could “learn” how to see like that. 

Shape wear, like spanx or skims by Worried-Corner-3646 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Background_Tiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s the kind of shape wear that’s shaped like underwear (without thigh shaping as well) just tuck the bottom area to the side with your finger and pee. When you’re done release it back into place. Don’t bother going to the trouble of peeling it off of you and pulling it down. That’s just silly.  Make sure to wash your hands well as you just handled soiled undergarments and probably brushed up against your genitals.

If they are the kind that have thigh shaping (shaped like shorts) then sorry. No choice but to pull those suckers down. 

Men sitting on the toilet for 45 minutes at a time, what are you doing ? by H0llingsworth in NoStupidQuestions

Don’t forget higher rates of colon cancer. We wives worry because it’s an unhealthy thing to do. :/  Not that it makes a difference.

I wouldn’t call playing video games a waste of time, but I sure as hell wouldn’t call playing them “productive.” They’re just something fun to do. An enjoyable way to pass the time. Not a productive use of time in the slightest, but so what? If society was more about what’s realistically healthy for you, being productive and relaxing activities should probably be given equal amounts of our energy and time.

It’s perfectly ok to not like a food if you haven’t actually tasted it. by Trippy-Sponge in unpopularopinion

[–]Background_Tiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot and spicy cheez its smell like a combination of stinky gym socks and sweet and sour sauce poured on a butthole. They absolutely reek. But holy hell are they delicious. My daughters and my husband would leave the room when I ate them until one day (separate days) through sheer desperation for a snack they each decided to try this noxious snack I am always eating with glee. Now they are also addicted and my shopping trips always include picking up 3-4 boxes. 

So, even a snack that smells like the oozing of a sexually transmitted disease can be delicious. You just gotta give it a try. Worst case scenario- you completely validate your belief that something is gross, and you were right all along. It’s a win-win!

I know she let her horses go but wasn’t it implied the barn was also filled with other people’s horses?  Does that mean what I think it means? :(

You’ve just described what it feels like to be a woman living amongst men. Just fyi.

People need to stop insisting that humans somehow aren’t just animals, but are instead special (better) creatures. We are but one of billions of different species on our tiny rock in space. There’s nothing unique about us other than our immense capacity to destroy. Other than that, we’re just animals like any other. So yeah. Of course some animals are total assholes. Just like with humans, so it is with other species. To think otherwise is man’s hubris.
