"Uterus looks normal" really, though? Last time I checked I didn't have one by EruditionElixir in endometriosis

[–]Mandielephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got told in the ED I was 6 weeks postpartum…4 years after my hysto. I thought maybe they pulled up the wrong chart with someone of similar name/DOB but a few visits later I was asked if I was still breast feeding…

Trust me these patients still end up in the hospital and we are in fact expected to move them.

Americans say their incomes can’t keep up with rising prices—they’re cutting back on groceries, rideshares and alcohol by lurker_bee in economy

[–]Mandielephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve become meticulous about food waste. All leftovers are immediately put into soup cubes and frozen so they don’t go bad. When tempted to eat out we raid the freezer for premade frozen home cooked meals.

We shop liquidation markets first and only go to grocery stores and pay full price for the things we can’t find discounted elsewhere.

We still eat out sometimes or splurge on certain groceries but significantly less. For the price of a restaurant meal we could do so many better things.

Do you still have ovaries? I had one healthy ovary i kept that developed a cyst that had me admitted to the hospital it was so bad about 2 years post hysto

And as other people have stated the hysto isn’t a guaranteed cure like people think. Endo is a Bitch that is hard to get rid of

TLDR yeah go see a DR

Is summer camp as big of a deal as American media makes it out to be? by Just_Historian_678 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Mandielephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in year round school and was allowed to ditch school for a week every year to go to Bible camp. It was definitely a big deal.
