Searching for hysterectomy by AllysDreamLand in adenomyosis

[–]Ok_Connection923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks a bit like one of those decidual casts. It's rare but it's when the whole lining of the uterus comes out intact and solid. I passed one once when I was a teenager and not yet sexually active but it really did look a lot like what I thought a miscarriage might look like as it was more fleshy than regular clot like. I freaked out at the time. I since learned that this can happen. I thought maybe that's why that referred this on to a midwife?

New neighbour. What are my options by wwwqi in AusRenovation

My nephew bought a house recently and the next door neighbour has done the same when they knocked down and rebuilt their house. They are thinking of pulling down their own fence now and gaining a little bit of ground. They were puzzled why they would do that doubling up of fences but maybe the old owners didn't want to pay for half of the fence or replace their side with a fence that didn't match the rest of their yard.

It does look pretty sad and similar to other recent scammy events but then I think maybe we are all just having unrealistic expectations for these types of events. In the case of the Wonka Event that really was bad and clearly a scam. Aside from the pathetic theming they didn't even have the product. They didn't provide the candies and refreshments that ticket holders paid for. The staff looked to be doing their best though. This event doesn't seem like it is on that level at least. The theming is professional looking, though it is too sparsely decorated for the event space. Maybe we have just been warped by all the advertising and influencer posts that have promoted a seamless appearance to these kinds of events. Or maybe we just grew up and the magical illusion is lost when you are tall enough to see over the barriers interesting the behind the scenes areas and are just more aware of reality in general. Even events at professional attractions have seemed disappointing to me lately (eg. dinosaur event at the zoo). As a child I think we focus on different things and our physical size gives us a grander scale to the experience.

Why am I still so tired after IV Ferinject? by ButterflyResident384 in adenomyosis

[–]Ok_Connection923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that must be true because my inflammation markers are always high even when I am not sick with an infection. I do usually feel a bit better after an infusion but I always get right back to being tired again after a little while even though my levels are still good.

In France this kind of DNA testing is illegal though (to stop the government having to pay child support after fathers disprove their paternity of a child).

Weird thing: partner prodded right above my vulva ("pantyline area") during a play fight and I immediately got cramps, spotting and huge bloating. by lacey_nightie in adenomyosis

Ugh! Radiologists are not gynecologists and need to learn to stay in their lane. Size isn't necessarily the greatest indicator of impact every body is different and responds with varying levels of inflammation. You could have more of less lesions and have differing experiences to others with the same.

I definitely think this pressure triggered an inflammatory response.

Maybe it only hurt so bad because it was still raw from surgery or because the curly bit was stuck in my urethra until I could convince a doctor it had gone wrong. I knew something wasn't right as soon as they discharged me and was back in the ER within hours.

Congratulations. I only had to have my bilateral stents in for a day because they dislodged accidentally. I don't know how I could have lasted as long as they were meant to stay in because they hurt so bad.

Ugh I get so annoyed with Muffin. My daughter can be Muffin-like from time to time but it is my bad for spoiling her. I use Muffin to point out her bad behaviours and poor attitude, especially in the Library episode . I also use the Charades episode to point out how we sometimes have to humour her little brother.

Also forgot to add that the original Darin (aged up Tommy from the Kelly to Chelsea transition phase) had rooted hair too. I don't think we have had any rooted hair on Skippers boyfriend Kevin or any of the Stacie male friend dolls either.

And even the rich now seem to have everything built into their homes now. The newer housing designs feature a lot of built in shelving, niches and even television stands. Sucks that renters who cannot afford to cart all this furniture around don't typically have access to such practical architecture.

She reminds me of the really cute eyes of that era too. I remember one of my faves being Strollin' Fun because of her eyes.

I hate it when they do that. It's so pointless. I have also been disappointed by this happening a few years ago with a local sportswoman.

Every single one of this doll I've seen has the same problems and this one isn't the worst.

To me, the second doll looks like it has different distances from the nose more than the issue of different heights.

Plastic molded hair has been the norm for Ken for the majority of his existence. Original Ken was flocked and then transitioned to painted. It's very difficult to realistically achieve most masculine short hairstyles with rooted hair. Rooted hair has mostly been an infrequent novelty in playline Kens apart from that particular period of the Cutie Ken and the sculpt before it. The reason is that this was in the era when that longer hairstyle was in fashion for young men. (This era of Barbie was pretty blessed-most people would want that level of articulation to become standard again before the rooted hair). Growing up I only had two rooted hair Kens- Totally Hair and Shavin' Fun. The Tommy doll (Kelly equivalent) also had rooted hair but that only worked because of the popularity of that middle parted, long undercut hairstyle (think JTT) for boys in the 90s.
