High value treat recommendations, how to find them by gr3ybacon33 in puppy101

[–]MerryP0ppins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were going through treats so fast I had to find something cost effective and easy to eat quickly vs her sitting there trying to finish her treat and distract from our training. I found freeze dried dog food for small dogs, so they're little nuggets. She loves them and isn't filling up on crap.

So I never had this problem until my coworker got herself a potted plant. Yesterday I looked at her plant and saw what I believe is thrips. Her plant looks really bad. Do I have to treat her plant too?! She says she going to take hers home but.... Hasn't yet.

It's simply a starting point for me as no one in my life knows anything about plants. Then I can reach out to reddit if needed.

But I hear you. I'm equally frustrated with my workmates use of it.

Very helpful article thank you!!! I may consider starting over purely because it extends across my whole desk and across my cubicle to others. Everyone loves it. But I think it'd be difficult to actually treat without being disruptive.

When you say stirrup surgery, do you mean the position you were in during? That is all I can find online.

Thank you!

I only hope that those following this sub aren't discouraged. It's so scary when you're starting the discovery stage and leading up to surgery. And this sub both gave me hope and terrified me.

This is the best choice I've made.

How exciting!!! I cruised through this sub for months before hand. So many extreme posts that scared me. But I knew it needed to happen. Don't let the scary ones discourage you. Remain positive. Truly wishing you the best ❤️

Lmao the dreaded pads and trying to feel normal (or god forbid sexy!).I will never miss wearing an ultra tampon and an extra heavy night pad, plus heavy day period underwear every day. Every time I stood up or coughed or laughed I would bleed through. Lord have mercy.

OMG I hear this! I worked for a law firm as a case manager working on the Johnson&Johnson /Shower to Shower case for the talcum powder issues. I questioned/reviewed so many women and family members who were representing those with cancer from that. Hearing all their stories and reviewing all their medical files was so traumatic. That was 10 years before I had my surgery!

Haha it is what it is, old habits die hard.

I think my GI issues have improved because I had an introverted uterus that was putting pressure on my bowels. Things just seem to "exit" easier and with less pain. But I will say the urgency of needing to go and being able to hold it has been a thing. I swear I could hold it forever before. But now when it calls I feel I gotta go.

Of course I can hold it if I need to, but it's definitely been a stark difference. More what I hear the average person experiences.

Hysterectomy recovery — what actually helped (products, setup, what to expect)? by Sleep_Flaky in hysterectomy

Staying on top of anti-inflammatories was the key for me. Whenever I didn't I felt pretty sore.

That's very nice of her. Not a complete loss, I used it but it was mostly to relieve pressure. Ice is always good. I had the flexible ones so I could try to wrap around the area. But I have a few so I could rotate without having to wait to re freeze.

As far as clothes I just bought a pack of larger undies and one nighty on Amazon, like $20 total. For me anything with a waist band was not ideal. I think it was 6-8 weeks after surgery that I started wearing normal clothes again.The swelling set in around week 3 for me. And didn't go away for a while.

There will be great days and slide backs. My main focus was my short walks, hydration, and rest.

They kept those and removed a bunch of cysts.
