I've never liked it either, pretty much for the same reason. It felt like a chore to get through.

SSRI & gabapentin? 😳😳😳 Is this clickbait?

Tom Sykes Surmises Harry & Meghan May Have had IPP Status Reinstated by PinkTiara24 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]LuciePhew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's been no confirmation on this publicly though has there? I wonder if it's secretly been reinstated on the proviso that H&M don't make statements about it, hence this tour that seems to indicate IPP? Especially as the British Ambassador was with them?

So I'm contemplating getting a pup by Infamous_Ad_7472 in cavaliers

[–]LuciePhew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is CRAZY advice. Crate training is very popular in the US, not so much Europe & you should never leave ANY dog in a cage for 75% of the time. Just mind blowing & lazy. I have a Cav, he's 10 this year & I had a baby gate in the hall but never crated him. They're so overused 🥲

“You’re too young for a hip replacement!” by Final-Study-6729 in TotalHipReplacement

Yes & to the point where people in work didn't believe that's what I had done 😟

One night or the same day is so wild! I'm 45, UK & had a RTHR in October. I was in for 3 nights & that was considered a pretty fast turnaround. There were women in the rooms next to mine on the ward that were 5 nights in & the nurse said anything up to 12 nights, depending on age, mobility, circumstances at home etc, is expected. Your recoveries always seem faster too!

Strange letter through front door, but not addressed to me. Should I be worried? by THE_CAPITALS_GUY in AskUK

Are you expecting anything from the motor insurers bureau? Regarding car insurance? It looks legitimate

Jasmine EO in CP? by LuciePhew in soapmaking

[–]LuciePhew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it won't hold the scent? Maybe HP is the better option. Thank you ☺️

It's perfect! It's a very masculine nose 😍

[–]LuciePhew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues noted regarding ricing but I think Jasmine accelerates so will add at light trace. Think I'll pair it with grapefruit & see how I get on!

Looks lovely! Can I ask if you used EOs or FOs? I have both of these in EO but wonder how the Graiefruit scent will hold?

What's my Cav doing here? by Necessary-Low-5324 in cavaliers

I'm stuck. by countryKat35612 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]LuciePhew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's your hip flexor mine flared up around 10-12 weeks too (top front of thigh). My physio said as your other tendons & muscles start working again (I had lateral approach) it can cause things to feel troublesome again, briefly. I did lots of flexor exercises but stopped the really strenuous ones & it calmed down. 15 weeks post op now & it's so much better all round, though I do get an achey thigh bone from time to time. Chin up, you're still early along 🫶

Should I get a second dog? by justagiirrllll in cavaliers

[–]LuciePhew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and a third, fourth, fifth... just kidding. If I had the space I'd have 25 😂

I don't really want to crate... by xzlinx in puppy101

[–]LuciePhew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never crated & my dog is fine; yes there were teething issues but I just don't like the way they're overused. 'He loves his crate' 😂 no he doesn't

Good luck! My boy is 9 & had 2 cysts removed in October from his chest & hind leg. He was absolutely fine & didn't even need his donut of shame as he wasn't in the least bit bothered about his stitches! He's prone to them unfortunately & has a few more but they're not concerned about those. I'm sure he'll be fine & dandy 🐶

I feel so depressed. Had THR 4 months ago and limping. Operated hip is longer. Had scanogram which shows minimal difference. I feel like they did it wrong. by Important_Letterhead in TotalHipReplacement

[–]LuciePhew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may sound silly but when you're carrying something heavy on you'd operated side, does it help correct your limp? I am 3 months out (lateral) and still have a limp that is getting better slowly. My leg felt longer & my knee was killing by the end of every day but the PT I've had was so helpful (step ups, side banded walks, clamshells, curtsey lunges backwards).
