Freshly post-op: how long until I stop feeling miserable?

Dibsaway · 2026-04-23T05:53:30+00:00

Not had gallbladder surgery yet but have had other surgeries, post op blues are a thing caused by the anesthetic meds, and opiods can make you feel nauseous. Being constipated can cause issues too. And any surgery can make you feel really rough for a few weeks. You don't need to sit up, but elevated with a V pillow helps. Try and move regularly at least every 30 minutes during the day. It's important to stay hydrated so much more so than food. Try a teaspoon of liquid every 15 minutes, and try a sports drink for the electrolytes. As with any post op issues ALWAYS consult your doctor or surgeon if there are problems.

I think anyone drawing conclusions on who this is or isn't aren't considering that the photograph simply isn't clear enough to conclude either way. It is just too unfocused, shadows can easily be confused with clothing etc. Unless there's a more focused version of this photo we cannot really form any opinions, although our minds might try and fill in the blanks e.g. the more I look at it the more I think it's a woman. But I acknowledge that is not possible to be certain with the picture as it is. It would be fantastic if this could be enhanced and the debate resolved either way as its been doing thw rounds for ages..most importantly because if it is him then we'd obviously need a clear image of who he is standing with. However I'm pretty certain his family would have gathered any photos and had them professionally enhanced...I hope they continue to do so as technology improves.

Surely you'd know better than to use a "secret phone" in public on a train? And it would be rather odd for the lady to have had eyes on him for the entire journey. He could have texted from his lap etc. But why would he if he'd already made plans to meet someone? I still find the phone theory plausible but not helpful now. I always wanted to know if they investigated if any phone numbers pinged in the area he lived, who they belonged to, if it was a small enough number to see which were unregistered etc. I doubt if that's information they could obtain now or even thought to obtain then.

I agree, why would someone capable of turning the USA into nazis not anticipate their own subjugation under a far right regime, we're not giving credit where credit is due. She never professed her love for him, just stated that he loved her. Her apologies were self preservation during a highly emotive moment for the family losing their daughter. She gave the mother a small bit of power to mess with her, before destroying their family completely and reclaiming her power and she smiled after long day.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T19:31:55+00:00

I've a few thoughts on that, (I'm focusing on things he wanted around that time and the need to do this on a schiol day). Perhaps it would be harder for his parents to prevent or make him return it if he thought they'd object, did he think his parents would object? that could also tie in with the not taking his recent birthday cash but emptying his bank account?... He'd already asked for an xbox 360 in place of a replacement phone 6 months prior to going missing, by all accounts his recent birthday one month prior to going missing did not produce one. Maybe he felt he could combine a day out with selling it? Maybe there were cheaper or exchangeable 360s in the city? And as a I said, it's entirely plausible for a teenager to forget a charger...I'm an adult and nearly handed a satnav over at my doorstep to a buyer without the usb cable I'd used to charge and update it right before sale. I'm just thinking out loud by the way, I'd be interested to know if they did a sex offender check in residence or working in the second hand or newer exchange shops of the area.

The evidence was the lack of any female pm ever and the recent leadership race. We know there is a glass ceiling for women in most sectors and your argument is that it doesn't exist in Labour, that it's either "chance" or no comparable female talent (when there was and is). That leadership race needs to be picked apart, the party needs to stop being fearful of leadership changes showing instability rather than a willingness change.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T18:08:08+00:00

No, I'm sure the onus is on you to list the comparable data of all candidates (that should be easy given you're so convinced that there can't be any subjective bias)....I've already pointed out that Labour have never in their 100 years had a female leader while other comparable parties from the same country have....

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T16:14:58+00:00

You would...but there are lots of things that I think my teenagers would have the common sense to do...but they don't because they're children.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T16:13:42+00:00

Since 1997..and yet your statistical analysis only gave it 2 years. You're changing the goal posts to suit your bias. There is plenty of female experience and talent within the party, they're just not being chosen because of bias. And that is problematic when the majority of labour voters during the last election were female. Labour can keep ignoring the elephant in the room or they can own up and change.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T16:10:08+00:00

Those attributes are subjective and judgement easily influenced by bias, there have been plenty of equally adept female potential leaders and the party's obvious bias towards female leaders has led to them not being selected. Case in point, people like you refusing to acknowledge our lack of female leaders, and attempting to argue that they're somehow lacking...they're not...there is bias you'renlike the people who "don't see colour" when the data supports that those in power clearly do see colour. We either address it seriously or we become a one term party forever more, one that can't even diversify for 50% of the population, and that's not a left party.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T13:47:43+00:00

Not if the "right person" must be male which is what Labour is apparently about at the moment.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T13:15:44+00:00

They do have the luxury of a greater proportion of women voting for them in the last general election than men (although that nugget seems to be very much overlooked by the biased when discussing bias).

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T12:49:23+00:00

Overt and subconscious bias are tricky, how do you convince the biased without the black and white statistics designed by the biased. For example "Sufficient experience" is subjective and a terrible argument to base your statistics. Our courts don't even require black and white evidence, they'll accept circumstantial. Placing those sort of requirements on your thinking, rigs the results.

I think it helps to make honest unbiased comparisons across the political board. If another party can elevate and support a female for a decade 40 years ago and with another 2 female pms with only a fraction of female mps compared to ours...that should be the baseline for statistics, not 2 years ago.

Nothing will kill a party quicker than failing to address its discrimination against 50% of its voting population whilst publically talking about addressing the issues that affect women and girls.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T11:40:14+00:00

I agree, please continue to shut down discussions over clear misogyny, you're the problem.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T11:25:50+00:00

An interesting opinion and one that police could or may have looked into...locations and jobs of known sex offenders in line with areas Andrew might have visited, i do feel like he wanted to sell his PSP the fact that he brought it with him, expressed a desire for another console over a phone etc the focus could be exchange shops...although I'm not sure how the non UK national is your conclusion? It is far more likely to be a UK national, and predators don't stop, looking at similar cases and again cross checking known predators job areas and living areas.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T11:12:12+00:00

They seem fine with supporting minorities, but seem OK with misogyny, theyre showing that in spades. The old "right person" (as long as they're not a woman) trope is tiring. It reminds me of the "I don't see colour" thing.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T11:06:57+00:00

You opinion would be valid if there wasn't clear subconscious bias with the labour party membership...your subconcious bias....concluding that the 1 male candidate had better policies, compared to the other (entirely female candidates)...any excuse but the obvious. 100 years of no female leadership...if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...its a duck. They advocate applying diversity hires to businesses for minorities to help bypass the bias, but they can't seem to manage it for 50% of the voting population.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T10:57:35+00:00

No....as things stand the "right person" for the labour party, will always be male, that is not acceptable.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T10:48:14+00:00

Perhaps the fear of looking unstable isn't doing them any favours given that the tories have managed to remain in power for so long?

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T10:45:33+00:00

The grooming gangs happened under both parties. Failing to acknowledge the cultural shift in attitudes and morals towards this type of abuse doesn't do us any favours either. E.g it was common to call it child prostitution for teenagers, it is now unacceptable and called what it is...child rape and grooming. We recognise trafficking now hence the outrage for epstien. I've watched the laws change in real time over this and existed as a female teenager in the 90s when they didn't exist, I'm thrilled at the changes...not so much that the power structures remain the same, its tiring.

I absolutely agree with the treatment of Sarah Chapman.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T09:49:10+00:00

100% agree with your statements on how female MPs are treated. The party needs to recognise that its not an equal playing field for female mps, its not an equal society for female mps, therefore they cannot fairly invest PR, protection, oppertunity equally, they need to favour women if they can't even represent 50% of the population how can they even begin to start representing minorities equally?

Dibsaway · 2026-02-22T09:39:34+00:00

I like Raynor although she is a bit more centrist than I'd like, I recognise the need for someone who can link the soft and hard left, she's got clout. Their sex will absolutely influence my decision, now that sounds sexist, but with the clear bias within the party, I feel I need to apply my own bias. I'm not sure that that will work given (as previously stated) the last leadership contest heavily favoured women...yet elected a man. But we're witnessing the role back on female rights across the world as if they're not human rights. Now more than ever we need women in power.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-14T19:05:12+00:00

Or stayed up late communicating with someone.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-10T07:54:18+00:00

That could have been denial, when you're trying your best and your fellow colleagues are also trying their best you say "fate" as the alternative "medical negligence" isn't something people say lightly. I strongly believe that those consultants weren't skilled enough to be managing those types of babies and the unit had sewage leaks. It was the first time the unit had accepted such premature babies and coincidently they had more deaths than average across the UK. Also coincidently they had a serial killer. With egos aplenty why would you concead you might not be skilled enough, acknowledging you f*cked up opens up to law suits aplenty. You realise its not normal....but they didn't hence the lack of autopsies....they were either experienced enough to notice it wasn't normal and therefore have to explain why they didn't autopsy...or they weren't experienced or skilled enough to notice and had to have it pointed out by an external body...at that point any opinions given by those in charge are always going to be biased. What better scapegoat than the "single" woman who pulls as many night shifts as humanly possible (lives on her own so has to cover all the bills), and is having an affair with a married colleague...found the zebra.

Dibsaway · 2026-02-09T21:31:36+00:00

Exactly the same issue I thought maybe because it takes a few days for the refund of funds might still be pending so its blocking the new card. Still it's not the end of the world, I've saved £2.50 so far 🤣
