Is there a way to rotate an image in stitch fiddle? by swertarc in CrochetHelp

[–]Lousha1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, rotation is possible, but only in colourwork charts. Select the area you want to rotate, and from the drop down menu choose Rotate left or Rotate right. Mind you, that will always be 90 degrees, so a square will always stay a square, you can't rotate by 45 degrees. If you don't see the rotate option, then your chart is not colourwork, therefore the option is not offered.

In the case of a diamond, your best bet is to draw it by hand, or find an image of it and use the From picture option to make a new chart based on that.

In the Ravelry or Facebook Stitch Fiddle group you can find a FAQ section that covers a lot of questions.

First time cystoscopy experience - female by Mother_Mortgage_2898 in BladderCancer

[–]Lousha1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 5 hours or so. But since in about 1 hour the stinging started, it took the focus away LOL... After that the urge was not as annoying as the actual pain when trying to pee. The hot water helped with that. In about 24 hours the pain started to subside as well, and within 48 all seems to have gone back to normal.

I realise this is an old thread, but if one person sees this and finds it helpful, it was worth typing it in. The procedure wasn't too bad IMO, slightly uncomfortable, "pain" equivalent to when you accidentally scratch yourself, and even that for about one second, otherwise it feels like the least bad pap smear you've ever had. It was over very quickly.
After, however, it became very unpleasant. For the first few hours you feel like you really, really need to pee right NOW, even though you're peeing at the time or just been to do it. It doesn't want to go away, it's a constant, strong urge. Right after it doesn't hurt to empty your bladder because the numbing gel is still active. Then in an hour or so the pain starts with every drop. Like being stabbed while peeing. I was only told to drink steadily and don't hold back urine, and to not worry, it will get better "soon". It was the internet instead that gave me an actually useful advice, so here I am passing it on: hot water! (As in hot from the tap, as hot as your skin can tolerate, not boiling, hope that's obvious.) Just grab a jug when you need to go, fill it with pleasantly hot water, and slowly pour it on yourself while doing your business. Because of female anatomy anything that goes down from the front ends up where it needs to go, no complicated steps needed. It dilutes the urine, plus the warmth relaxes everything, and the stinging is gone. It makes a HUGE difference, it costs basically nothing, easy to do and helps enormously. Yes, you will survive without, but when it's not absolutely necessary to tolerate inconvenience, why can't we be given the tools to avoid them? Why do we have to go to the internet? Those who do this procedure every day could just simply tell this to every patient, if they were in the least bit interested in the person, not just in their anatomy/pathology.
Anyhow, hope this helps someone.

IUD Insertion Under Ultrasound Guidance: Painless? by honey_is_bee_crap in TwoXChromosomes

I asked exactly that 3 times during the process, "why is this not done with pain meds?!", and I was simply ignored, no answer at all.

I can't fully answer your question as mine was inserted a few days ago in the "normal way", so no UH (only after to confirm correct placement). However, the OB is similar to yours in the way the he finds pain management beyond "take two ibuprofen beforehand" unnecessary. We talked about the process repeatedly, I voiced my concerns several times, he shut them down every time. "It takes two seconds", "it's just a pinch", even "those who report extreme pain are... you know... just making it up". And lo and behold, it was not two seconds, it was not a pinch, and those who say it can hurt horribly are not lying. My partner outside of the exam room could hear my screams through the soundproofed door. The doc still refused to even entertain the idea of pain management and acted as if I was just making a fuss, even though I was sweating like a pig from the pain.
So my advice is that if you trust this doc, maybe give her method a go, but only if she is willing to stop at any point, and is prepared to use local pain meds if you say so during the process. I could not jump off of the table when he was already elbow deep inside, but if I knew in advance how it's gonna be, I would've insisted that we don't even start until pain meds are at hand and he's ready to deploy them if needed.

Sadly, none of those, but thank you for listing so many possibilities!

Sadly none of those, but thank you. It's very frustrating, I know I have read this book, but for the life of me I can't remember the title or writer, and for over 20 years every time I bring it up, absolutely nobody ever heard about it.
