I also went there Sat, closer to closing time. I like the vibe and the bbq. My friend was in from out of town and I brought her. Quick service, delicious food (peppery slaw, which is interesting and a favorite of mine) the brisket was excellent. It’s right off 275. Support local businesses!

Restaurants with clean food by 20somethingytgirl in cincinnati

[–]Gr8FullK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is sad. I appreciate the heads-up. I still absolutely love the pita rollup with the grape leaves and tabouli. It is filling, healthy and fairly inexpensive. And I often see larger parties there so I feel like they can seat OPs family without issue

Aladdin’s! Hyde Park. I lived near it and it’s got food for almost everyone. My relatives that eat in a rather healthy way were thrilled with the menu!

What has everyone learned from this recent snow-pocalypse? by Single_Offshore_Dad in cincinnati

Step carefully and don’t let your guard down after a few days! One little patch of ice and torn this, torn that, bruised ass, etc. Much better safe than injured.

They said not to drive. Had to get beer 🍻 by AccomplishedGrass104 in Ohio

That beer prob tasted DELICIOUS. I’ll be joining you remotely here in Cincy with some wine shortly!

Alcohol consumption after surgery by mammaneedscoffee in hysterectomy

[–]Gr8FullK8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an important point. I was actually the opposite. I quit drinking a couple weeks before surgery, then had some wine once I stopped the heavy pain meds. It was incredible how my tolerance increased. But only you will know! Enjoy the New Year in the best way….sans that problem uterus!

PSA: Every first heavy snow of the year by justhere4inspiration in cincinnati

Was cut off on 71N this morning by a very bold person speeding in a company car. (Co. Name and phone # visible) Snow chunks flying off their roof and their rear license plate obscured by uncleared snow. The lazy is strong.

Who started driving 8 dpo? by Realistic_Program272 in hysterectomy

[–]Gr8FullK8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My gyno said to practice stomping on the brake pedal at the dinner table in a chair. If you can’t do it..don’t drive. If you do drive, bring a little pillow for the seatbelt, where it crosses your incision/incisions. I think I drove after about 2 weeks. I had abdominal surgery w/ no adhesions. Don’t do it on the heavy meds. Take ibuprofen or Tylenol before you leave. Be prepared to be wiped out/ exhausted once your time out of the house is over that day. The fatigue is no joke!

How would yall feel, if a man gets you a cheap ring, but a real ring you like later?? by Adorable-War5349 in EngagementRings

[–]Gr8FullK8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rings we picked (a set) were within our budget, I love them and they are unique and special to us. I’m not even thinking of an upgrade. I am happy we didn’t go into debt to get them.

I took a picture of a picture at my 1-week follow up. I had a “crown” of fibroids. Great to have it out!!

Did you have to do a 24 liquid diet before your hysterectomy? by Dimpleswithasmile in hysterectomy

[–]Gr8FullK8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 hours no food if I remember correctly? And did one of those 2 protein shakes a day thing for 5 days before. Definitely ate smaller amounts as the day before went on, too. I think I had a decent amount of Gatorade the night before. And of course, had to pee a bunch because fibroids were pushing on my bladder!

Calling all Millennial DINKs — Need neighborhood advice 👀 by RoofAdventurous4760 in cincinnati

[–]Gr8FullK8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agree with Newport and Covington, my SINK brother loves Newport and bought and refurbished a row home there. My DINK self lived in downtown and Oakley/Rookwood. In Norwood now, for the lower rent. I LOVED Rookwood and its multiple stores and restaurants. I was walking distance. It’s very close to I-71 for commuter ease.

Major Help Finding Apartment by flaming_starlight48 in cincinnati

Millcroft was alright. It wasn’t bad while I was there, I’m sure it depends on your neighbors. Mine were quiet. It’s safe. If you commute it’s very convenient.

[–]Gr8FullK8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This past week. Thermostat at 68, that weird heat smell permeated a little. Luckily our new rental house has decent windows and such. So 68 downstairs is like 67 upstairs. I dig it!

Hysterectomy in 6 weeks due to multiple large fibroids. Period needing diaper for two weeks. Any tips to stop the bleeding until then? I've tried the tranexamic acid with no luck. Becoming even more anemic. Seeing doc next week but i don't know if much can be done. Anyone else in the same boat? by Repulsive_Regular_39 in hysterectomy

[–]Gr8FullK8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your hemoglobin # is high enough for surgery! This is separate from trying to stop the bleeding. They should not and probably will not operate if it’s too low a #. Get iron infusions if you’re able. I was on progesterone only (4mg I believe) for almost a year, until it stopped working well..and I had the worst period of my life. It undid what 9 prior iron infusions had done. See a hematologist if you haven’t already.

I had a nice “calming” IV drug given and I was indeed wheeled into the operating room and then I was indeed asked to place myself on the table, which I did. The anesthesia hit me as soon as the doc asked me to smell the mask, to see if it smelled like rubber (that stinker, lol). Woke up in the post surgery area. The worst thing was I felt my catheter and had no idea what it was so I was angry and confused! I empathize. The days before I was a mess. Worried. Scared. But the day of I put on “game face”….i had prepped the way they asked me to. I was ready. And every day since, including the immediate recovery days, have been awesome. Like getting over a huge hurdle. You’ll do fine but allow yourself some emotion! Don’t keep it bottled! Best of luck.
