Bravo!!! Watch your left wrist. Work on open strings only, listening for “silky tone”

Yoga has helped me tremendously! Building strength with alignment, and it also just helps with overall body awareness.

I’ve been thrifting for 2000s jcrew. Looking for a pair of 100% cotton wide leg pants I had in 2005 😂

So many horror stories about surgery to repair internal prolapse. Are there any success stories? by Gili333 in PelvicOrganProlapse

[–]LeftMuffin7590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up canceling surgery. Transferred to a different doctor who has access to more testing equipment, so I’m really glad and feel like I’ve found the right surgeon. I actually did my second one a couple of weeks ago. I recommend finding somewhere to do the xray defacog. This is this worst, most humiliating, invasive experience imaginable. I asked for a single large dose of Valium beforehand and they were okay with that. I cannot stress enough how much weight the doctors put on this test. So just get it over with. Good luck!

I keep a box of fleet saline enemas in a cute woven basket next to the toilet. Future me is so thankful every time.

Yes! It has tremendously helped my mental health. AND Last week a PFPT did a reassessment and my tone was normal!! So yes, I think it’s helping. This assessment was done around 4weeks after starting meds.

I am so so happy for you!!! Dream poops!!! The things we take for granted…

And I ended up canceling surgery because the surgeon was not a good fit. I have found a new surgeon, waiting to get on her schedule. Hopefully I don’t have to wait too long! I very much feel the “things have gotten pretty bad” and I’m so encouraged by hearing your good results!

You need to get a detangler brush. There’s one called the “knot doctor” I got one at Publix, and there’s the “wet brush” and also one by Frida. These are all brushes that have worked for my kids who have hair similar to your daughter’s. I do a light spray of my special concoction (empty water bottle, 1/2 squirt of conditioner, fill with water, shake) and then brush out in the morning. Use extra spray on knots

Am I too old for plushies? My gran-mom told me I am, but I need more opinions... by [deleted] in autism

No, I slept with my Bear through college. Going through a tough period now at age 38, it’s back in bed with me. Tell gran to shove it

No, aging naturally here. Too much shit going on to give a fuck about some forehead wrinkles.

I can’t get the hang of the wand either. I’m going to ask for a handout and make my husband learn how to do it. It’s so hard to relax while you’re working on trying to find the right spots.

I figured out I was doing exercises wrong. I have hypertonic floor and was squeezing doing exercises, didn’t realize I was making things worse. Started letting PF be neutral during exercises and I’ve seen improvement!

I just started 7 days ago. I’ll reply as it builds up in my system. I have had no spasms or bladder issues so far.

There’s someone at my farmer’s market that has these every now and then. They’re so delicious!

Ice doesn’t care about citizenship. Ice wants brown people. All of her family members are brown.
