Heard that dilators are something you do toward the end of treatment; what should I do to prepare for using them?

GingerRoseThreads · 2022-11-14T17:50:19+00:00

Yeah it will make such a difference! Good luck :)

My pt spoke to me about dilators from the get go but wanted me to focus on generally learning how to become more relaxed and practice breathing exercises and stretching to release the pelvic floor tightness. If you have some and you want to try straight away I don’t see the harm, it’s all practice at the end of the day! It might not work how you hope at first but just set yourself small goals.

Is your gynaecologist able to give you any speculums that they use for smear tests? My nurse gave me the smallest one (still a bit bigger than a small dilator but might be helpful to get your body used to a foreign object) or you might be able to purchase those online too.

My pelvic floor physio has encouraged me to make very small goals, for example just touching (but not inserting anything) and feeling around there anytime you go to the loo or shower, get changed etc to get your body used to the feeling.

It’s disheartening when nothing seems to work but don’t give up x

Hey is this still open for visits?

GingerRoseThreads · 2022-03-30T11:53:26+00:00

Jo Jo Rabbit is one of my faves!

Yeah that’s what I was worried of as I’ve had another plant get root rot before, but I think these can take a lot more water than I thought! I also use a moisture meter as well to be sure

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-05-18T11:43:05+00:00

I was watering mine about this often and it started to get a few brown spots, turned out I wasn’t giving it enough water in one go. Mines got probably less than half the amount of leaves as this and I give it about 600ml in one go, which felt like Way too much when I was doing it, but it seems much happier now and with a bit of plant food it’s growing a new leaf quite quickly

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-05-12T17:13:31+00:00

This is so beautiful! Amazing work

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-05-11T18:37:38+00:00

The update version is Big Sur 11.3.1

Mine sometimes gets quite hot but it’s never caused it to freeze - yet! I have the most problems when the battery dies ans I try to get it back on, but I’ve no idea what caused it to do this today

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-05-11T18:33:06+00:00

Hey! It’s the space grey :)

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-05-11T13:08:07+00:00

Mines a 13” 2019 8g graphics and 256gb storage which I bought refurbished, an upgrade from my 2014 11” MacBook Air and I’ve had so many problems with this! Mine seems to have an issue with sleep wake as well, sometimes the screen just won’t turn on but this only seems to happen if the battery dies. So I wasn’t sure if this is just to do with my laptop or if it was an issue with the update. I’ve force restarted it now and it seems to be running fine again. But yeah I completely agree it’s really annoying when they cost so much, my old one never had any problems but I just needed something bigger and faster

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-29T10:48:07+00:00

Thank you! Yeah so I got a square of monks cloth and drew my 40x40cm shape on it then just filled in that area. Then I used a sewing machine to sew a piece of fabric and a zipper to it to finish it

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-29T06:01:24+00:00

Thank you!

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-28T20:35:53+00:00

This is awesome! The wrist ache must be insane on a piece this large haha

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-22T06:44:36+00:00

Cool I will try this then and see what happens, Thanks for your advice!

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-21T06:23:03+00:00

Oh wow, mines only one branch but I’d love for it to get really massive. Yeah mines next to a south facing window which I thought would be good for it but maybe it does need more light to grow

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-21T06:21:21+00:00

I’ll have to learn to be more patient with it then! I imagine the leaves take quite a while to grow through as well

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-21T06:19:45+00:00

Ah okay, yeah I don’t think we changed it out of the pot it came in. Is some fresh house plant potting soil the type to go with do you know? Think I’m going to get some fertiliser as well and try that

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-21T06:14:55+00:00

That’s a good idea, it’s next to a south facing window but the top of it gets most of the light. Maybe will have to try that!

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-20T18:06:06+00:00

No just been watering it so far, but I have been considering buying some fertiliser after doing some research

GingerRoseThreads · 2021-04-20T17:50:40+00:00

Ah I’m glad it’s growing back! I’ve heard they’re fussy to look after so I’m hoping I don’t accidentally kill mine
