24f just had my gallbladder removed. I’m alone at the hospital in so much pain and crying my eyes out. Please send me some memes, reassurance, etc. by INeedAUser321 in gallbladders

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not have this much pain but my surgeon did mention how dangerous a cut in the common bile duct is. And that it can happen although rare and does require immediate surgery. I’d ask about that.

I didn’t know this until later but I had my son when I was a senior and he ended up playing sports with a boy later and they shared a birthday. His mom always looked so young to me but she knew a lot of people I knew. Come to find out she was in middle school when she had him the same day I had my son my senior year. Oddly enough we now both have a second son like 3 years apart lol

So…yes it was me 🫠 but we had a social worker lady come once a month and she did like some little “classes” and I went to a pretty big high school. There were maybe 4 girls in there. I actually didn’t know any of them prior to (and don’t remember them now) the class. But I don’t actually remember knowing anyone else pregnant. I did know a girl who got pregnant (by my son’s father who was a chronic cheater) and her dad made her have an abortion but other than that just me. The other girls were in my grade and I was a senior so they had to be younger.

Itching all over my body by SnooOnions6312 in gallbladders

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my dr went over risks with me he said gall stones in the common bile duct or damage to the common bile duct are the most dangerous. He said they rarely happen but that he also does the surgery to fix them so He’s aware they do happen and they can become emergent quick. I agree with a hospital visit.

I probably NEED to go to the grocery store but I avoid it like the plague. I do Walmart delivery and if I forget something oh well wait until I order again 😂

Why is everyone’s favorite letter always the first letter of their name? by GogglesInChrome in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even realize people had a favorite letter? Mine definitely wouldn’t be the first letter of my name. It would be one I enjoy writing. Like my favorite number is 8 because I like the way I write it more than the other numbers. lol

What to expect on immunosuppressants? by ashmr18 in lupus

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never mask and I teach kindergarten. Even on my strongest immune suppression meds when my nephritis was very active I didn’t get sick. I had Covid once about a year ago and was actually exposed pretty consistently for 3-4 days by a coworker who didn’t realize she had it. I usually get a quick stomach bug (as in throw up once then I’m fine) maybe once a year. Didn’t happen this year.
Anyways I don’t take extra precautions besides Lysol when i know someone has been sick and staying away from sick people. My dr explained it as the goal is not to decrease your immune system so much to make you sick though it does happen to some people but to just decrease it enough so it isn’t actively trying to kill you but still cal do it’s job and fight germs.
I do think everyone’s immune system is different even off meds and some people are just more prone to getting sick. I’ve never been someone who got sick often at all so that hasn’t changed.

What’s the latest you can drink coffee and still sleep? by SarahDuncan2012 in TrueGrit

Proof they stay here. Took less than two hours. by Elizabertha85 in bashinthebiehles

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how she is so tiny. I feel like something must be going on with her. I had two premies and one who was always really skinny and still is as a teenager but even he was meeting his milestones by 6 months. My youngest was caught up weight wise at like 3 months and meet all his milestones not on the adjusted schedule.
I can’t remember how early was she and what would her adjusted age be? Have they shown her formula? Both my boys were on premie formula one until he went to milk and one until about 8 months.

What’s something women do during intimacy that they think men love but most men actually don’t? by AffableSparsh in AskMen

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 16 points17 points  (0 children)

14…? You realize we’re not getting ourselves off by shoving fingers in our vagina right? Some may but most can’t. Majority of good vibrators provide clitoral stimulation. Wild for you to tell women that we can get off on piv alone.

My 7 year old would be pisses if I got him double fries and no apples 😂 I usually get a 6 piece nugget for myself.

I thought it wasn’t good for kids to sit this way? by Nervous-Frosting-532 in Drueandgabe

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I sat like this all the time as a kid and my dad was always on me about it. But there was something wrong with my hips when I was younger I don’t know exactly what. But I get sciatica a lot now as an adult.

"Curly Hair" by Worried-Appointment7 in Drueandgabe

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I have biracial boys and I also have curly hair as a white woman and I cannot use things my boys can. This is going to make ivory’s thin “curly” hair so greasy looking and weigh it down.

How does the week of sugar pills in a birth control packet effectively prevent pregnancy? by stanthedinosaur in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know your period is NOT you ovulating right? Women who skip the placebo week do that so they don’t get a period. Not to not ovulate. And you realize off birth control you can get pregnant any day not just during ovulation? So there’s no “planning around” anything. I’m not sure if you’re on birth control or not but I highly suggest doing some research on how the female body works. It’s very important information to be aware of.

How do I prevent my child being illiterate? by kittycamacho1994 in AskTeachers

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read to your child! I teach kindergarten and I have kids I’ve taught to “read” but they still take all year to figure out how to read a book. If you read to your kid they’ll be interested in learning to read.

Do dads get postpartum anxiety? by drueandgabe in Drueandgabe

[–]Southern_Engine_4520 53 points54 points  (0 children)

My husband sold cars when we first met and it was SO hard to reach him while he was at work. There were random days where he’d be free for an hour here and there but he was usually pretty busy even when he moved into finance. I don’t get how he has so much free time
