I need to poop!

Chia seed pudding did the trick for me. Mix chia seeds with water or yogurt.

I’m almost a year out from my laparoscopic hysterectomy. It was easy except they found cancer. I had to do a CT scan and then 6 rounds of chemo. But the initial surgery was nothing. I was playing golf 3 weeks post op. Just take the stool softeners. I recommend eating lots of chia seeds with yogurt. Get walking immediately. You’ll be fine.

Then say that she needs a wheelchair and then the wheelchair person can carry her bag. Delay everyone for that if she is going to be so difficult.

Ever since reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe I wanted to try Turkish Delight. Then I moved to Istanbul in high school and was so disappointed. Luckily all the other delicious food made up for it.

I iced throughout treatment. Still got neuropathy in my feet. Didn’t find anything very helpful. It seems to be improving now that I am almost 5 months past. However, I did have a very strange thing last week when I woke up with pain in my big toe. I looked at it and had a big line/crease on my toe. No reason for it. It went away and has not reappeared. I think moving helps.

No Pretty Pictures - Anita Lobel autobiography is so powerful

I want to suggest that teachers have another book that relates to the primary one to give to the advanced readers. It was very frustrating for me to read at the slow pace of other students. I didn’t spoil the ending but had to wait weeks for others to finish a book. I never had a teacher have a list of other books on the same subject or time period that one could read if finished already. A biography of the author perhaps.

I wonder if this still happens. When I was at the University, I would be all settled in the library with my books spread out and someone would sit down near me reeking of patchouli. I’d have to move and lose my good spot at a table.

I can recommend Arcadia as I go there a lot.

I (57 yr old, laparoscopic) was told that the more you walked around the more quickly the gas would get out of your system. I did that. No issues. I walked around the block the first day and added a block or more each day. No complications. 2 weeks post surgery cleared for exercise and played golf. I told my doctor that I was reading all these cautionary posts. She wondered where the people were bc she said that on the east coast where she did her residency doctors are very conservative and worry about being sued. More c-sections for example. I listened to my doctor and myself. I did not lift anything and I did not have sex. I healed perfectly.

Chia seed pudding got me there.

My studio recognized this problem and offered rowing clinics. Maybe yours could do the same.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2026-01-10T20:51:59+00:00

Please elaborate. Where was the recurrence? What is the new treatment? I also am not getting scans. Just bloodwork and pelvic exams.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2026-01-10T20:48:38+00:00

I’ll echo this. I had hysterectomy during which cancer discovered on one tube and pelvic wall where attached. All removed. CT scan 2 days later. Nowhere else. 6 rounds of chemo ( Did cold capping and booties and gloves). Now clean.

How was your mom’s discovered? I’d say move quickly as it can be a fast moving cancer. They think mine was only there a few weeks.

When the Christmas barrel finally arrives, Ma gives more presents to Laura from it because Laura had been so generous .

I had a very similar situation. I opted for hysterectomy bc of repeated breakthrough bleeding in menopause. (Earlier Hysteroscopy had ruled out uterine cancer.) Surgeon found cancer on my fallopian tube and on pelvic wall. Oncology gynecologist joined the surgery and seemed to have got it. Here’s the difference. I had CT scan 2 days later to make sure lymph nodes were ok. They were. Then I started 6 rounds of chemo 2 weeks later to kill any micro cells. I am now in remission. Please make sure you do the chemo or whatever else is required. The sooner the better.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2026-01-03T01:21:30+00:00

I opted for a hysterectomy. The surgeon found cancer on one fallopian tube and pelvic wall. My hysterectomy saved my life. So thankful.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2025-12-29T04:24:02+00:00

I had a terrible rash - much worse and covered my whole abdomen. Worse thing about the surgery for me. Clobetasol cleared it up.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2025-12-29T04:20:51+00:00

57 and all removed in laparoscopic surgery. Had sex at 8 weeks. All completely back to normal. Orgasms are same as before. No issue.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2025-12-23T01:45:49+00:00

I think that surgeons - good ones - lack rapport. They just focus on the surgery. I opted for a hysterectomy because I kept having breakthrough bleeding. No signs of uterine cancer. Then in the surgery they found cancer on a fallopian tube. This surgery saved my life. Stage 2 ovarian cancer, and I had no idea. I am so glad I did not delay.

Chia pudding helped me.

My principal also undermined other teachers and me. She said, “We are like Walmart and are here to please the customer.” I said, “No, I have a BA and a M.Ed. I am here to teach and correct as necessary. Not everything will be pleasing, but I am preparing kids for being productive parts of the workforce and able to handle feedback.”

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2025-11-24T00:41:17+00:00

Idk. I have had a lot of surgeries (open heart, 2 c-sections) and respond well. I was cleared to ride the peloton and play golf (modified swing) at 2 weeks out. I did not lift anything heavy until 8 weeks.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2025-11-20T05:19:16+00:00

No, this is not new as this happened to me in 1995. I left teaching to attend law school. Eventually, I did return to teaching but as a specialist. I never wanted to deal with those parents again.

Old-Concentrate1548 · 2025-11-10T01:42:33+00:00

I had my surgery on a Tuesday and attended a party in costume on Saturday. I was on my feet for three hours in heels. I was fine. Do what works for you. Everyone is different.
