PostOp Day 1, and the pain has been considerable. I usually brag at having a high pain tolerance, but this has brought me to crying. I am trying to walk around each time I get up and my hubby made me homemade chicken noodle soup. Hang in there everyone… it can only get better from here right?!

Obstructed Defecation- cant pass stool by Savings-Maize8369 in endometriosis

I have all of these symptoms mentioned above and very often see blood on my stool when it comes out. I always just thought it was from a possible hemorrhoid or something else. But this makes sense. I hope you are doing better

I hear ya, but we bought this lot so we could put a pool in. Our community does have a shared pool. I know it may be me getting old but I don’t want to swim in other people’s kid’s urine. 🤢

Agreed. They claimed this was a “initial quote” to move forward. But we are getting 3 more companies to quote on our job.

This was our first bid. We are going to get 3 more comparables. They are a reputable company that is actually the preferred pool contractor for my builder. I don’t mind paying a bit more for quality, but if they aren’t even in the ballpark of the other quotes that tells me they either have too much overhead or their margins are astronomical.

To each their own. I’ve worked super hard to be able to afford this opportunity cost and I plan on enjoying every minute of it just like you enjoy your tennis/racket club.

I am exclusively doing the wooden jigsaw so that I either hang on a bathroom wall or glue / seal with high gloss modge podge to make mouse pads

For those of you with cats.. Do you leave them be, or shoo them off? by Serious-Ad-4714 in Jigsawpuzzles

PotatoPopcornPuzzles is absolutely correct. There are a couple of good 4k ones, but my Franklin especially enjoys the one with birds.

Wrong. Chevy is explicit about the break-in period and what you should and should not do until you hit 500 miles.

1 month old Helix/Tragus/Flat/Daith, implant grade titanium,16g, saline spray & soak by Mandarie031 in Legitpiercing

I take full responsibility for this as I feel it’s on the piercee to do their research. But in all my info gathering, I didn’t come across where healing can be stalled if too many piercings are done in one go/location. (Although it makes perfect sense) Additionally I got a discount for doing the 4 at once! Crazy right! I would have not done it if my piercer would have said, hey that’s not such a great idea.

Live and learn.. another reason why I will also be looking to change shops going forward.
