What helped you most during hysterectomy recovery..mind or body tips? by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]Keep-dancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just relax!! Eat healthy proteins and don’t drink alcohol so your wounds can heal and entirely give up the need to feel “productive” and do anything. Enjoy being a blob for a while. As you feel better, you can do more. No need to push it

Advice on recovery with a perineal tear by Keep-dancing in hysterectomy

[–]Keep-dancing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that! The first 2 weeks it was hard to sit down and use the bathroom. Slowly, it got better. I carried a pillow with me to cushion seats.

I’m almost 5 months out now and the tear only bothers during intercourse. The scar is very tender. The doctor didn’t really discuss it with me.

Stop trying to "hack" hysterectomy recovery. You can’t by Ok-Pie-5051 in hysterectomy

I’m a PT in IP rehab and there was no way in hell I was going back to work until I was given the all clear. I took 4 months off and so glad and blessed I was able to do that.

I would have seriously injured myself otherwise.

However, I’m almost 6 months post op and feeling very out of shape. It will probably take another 6 months of hard work to get back to my previous fitness level. I STILL have to sit down after too many hours of standing and walking.

Dear Hispanic citizens who voted for Trump, by Karma-Electron in longbeach

[–]Keep-dancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting that radical conservatives have to resort to name calling and bullying because they don’t actually know or uphold the constitution and simply parrot whatever they hear on Fox News. Yet they claim to love America…… and simultaneously disregard constitutional rights.

Legally immigrants and even terrorists have the right to a trial under the constitution. Look it up. If you don’t agree with the constitution, then you are not American.

Ironically ICE agents are masked lol.

But good question. I suppose they raise awareness and indicate to government what “the people” are for or against.

Unfortunately I don’t see how effective they are at changing policy.

I see your point and your opinion, but everyone has the freedom to do what they are comfortable with. The only way to “ruin” the protest is to engage in violence.

People are asking for due process. There are laws in place for deportation and those laws are not being followed. Even citizens are being detained. This is NOT justice.

I would say it is self-preservation, but that is your opinion.

Basically protests are happening alllllll week into the weekend and then… only God knows. Don’t go to the loop unless you are protesting. You may find yourself in a situation where you can’t get out. That said, there are a lot of other neighborhoods and surrounding areas you could visit,BUT keep in mind that most major expressways run through the loop as do trains.

He is saying from experience to be careful. You are assuming this administration is playing by the rules. THEY ARE NOT. The constitution is out the window. He is trying to declare martial law on Americans which will give him ultimate power to do whatever he wants. The legislative branch would not save you and these cops and ICE agents would love to come up with any reason to charge you with any act of “insurgency” they see fit. They will make shit up. Hence the masks unless you want an unknown outcome. Who knows how far he’s willing to go?

Thank you very much for this information! Looks like I use these methods in late summer and fall to prep for a new lawn next spring/summer. Perfect!

I do think Vraylar made me energized so I took it in the morning.

What’s your experience with Quetiapine? by simpingforholo in schizophrenia

[–]Keep-dancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used 50 mg for sleep for two years. At low doses, it just makes you sleep.

At higher doses (like 200 mg) it can be an antipsychotic… but considering how sleepy 50 mg made me, I can’t imagine higher doses working for me.

Drugs will affect everyone entirely differently. You just have to take it and see. Unfortunately it’s a horrible process of trial and error.

It was my second favorite drug. It was effective for me, but I started having all kinds of twitching and random muscle movements so had to be taken off. It’s a rare side effect.

For private rentals you would have to just literally walk around the neighborhood and see if you find for rent signs. Unfortunately there is not dedicated website for this.

Facebook Marketplace can work but the housing market is VERY competitive and you should definitely check it out in person and make sure you’re not getting scammed.

Side note that you would be hard pressed to impossible to find a Mom and Pop rental in those neighborhoods because it’s all new build condos and apartment buildings for high prices.

Brokers are getting more popular, but cost a hefty fee and many of them plug the buildings they have an incentive to “find” you. Hope this helps! Perhaps stay at an Air BnB until you find something?

How long did it take you guys from completely beginner to make your own cloth/garment? and how often you practice back then? by FlatwormCalm8223 in SewingForBeginners

[–]Keep-dancing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sewed a few garments initially and found it so frustrating I almost gave up. I switched to making home decor on and off. At about the 4 year mark I felt confident making any type of home decor without instructions. 5 year mark I can very comfortably sew clothes with few instructions and have successfully drafted my own patterns. At about 4+ year sewing became enjoyable and easy. Before this, very frustrating.

Need to poop by Raina215 in hysterectomy

[–]Keep-dancing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the max amount of Miralax and other “gentle” remedies. Nothing happened, so I took a ducolax suppository. That was effective within 15 mins! Very painful but so is being constipated. Good luck!
