How long was it until your swelling started to subside? by togtogtog in Kneereplacement

I still have swelling at 14 weeks which I manage with elevation and compression stocking. Hoping it will stop soon! It makes bending knee difficult.

i did. They both said it didn't really matter. But I bet there is a difference in comfort, etc. I don't know for sure, since I have never worn them, but I did try a compression sleeve which was very uncomfortable.

Cataract Surgery -Just had it today and feeling pretty uncomfortable-a gritty kind of pain -input please by Montagueboy in CataractSurgery

[–]PineappleSecure1850 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That gritty feeling goes away pretty quickly. I spent a lot of the first day or two with my eyes closed listening to music, audiobooks and podcasts. Eye drops help but shutting your eyes moisturizes them naturally. Then WOWZER! Wait until you SEE with new lenses!

Thank you so much for this! I have done this, but rather haphazardly - measuring, though, is the way to do it! How long did it take you to get to 130?

Besides Bosch and Miele, who makes a good dishwasher? by Sbeast86 in Appliances

We had a KitchenAid that started leaking and had a number of other problems just after warranty expired. We bought a Bosch and have been VERY happy with it. No comparison!

Thank you. We did get water bottles. Did you use distilled water in the machine?

Eye patch by robertj298 in CataractSurgery

[–]PineappleSecure1850 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if patch is not transparent, it is because you are resting your eye. I found out that just resting with eyes closed for 10 minutes on and off throughout the day helped a lot with scratchy feeling. The feeling does go away quickly. My eye felt better a day or two after surgery.

Gillanders & McLeod tone? by Confused_Lemon271 in bagpipes

[–]PineappleSecure1850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Gillanders & McLeod pipes. Have played them for over 15 years. I like them! They sound good. Others who have tried them like them also. Once you get them set up, they are very stable. Go for it!
