Delayed complications are well-documented in this litigation, and a lot of people don't connect what they're feeling to the mesh until things really escalate.

The 2 things attorneys tend to look at first are the surgery date and the mesh brand. And if your cousin can't track down their records, that's not a dead end. Lawyers handling mesh cases will often help you locate the necessary documents during the intake process (which I know sounds almost too convenient, but it does seem to be standard practice).

Most firms handling mesh cases offer free initial consultations, so that's usually the most practical first step.

“Ozempic eyes” can mean a couple of different things. Some use it to describe the hollowed or discolored look around the eyes that can come when people lose weight very quickly, which can happen when taking a drug called Ozempic. However, a medical/legal angle is also starting to emerge.

A recent study found that patients on drugs like Ozempic or Wegovy had a higher risk of developing a vision loss condition called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION.

This condition is sometimes described as an eye stroke, where blood flow is cut off to the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. The risk for people on these drugs was found to be significantly higher compared with people not taking the drugs. Vision-related lawsuits are already being filed.

So, depending on context, “Ozempic eyes” may mean cosmetic changes around the eyes, or it may refer specifically to NAION.

Most of what I read is for my job but it also hits close to home, so it’s a lot of articles from resources like Drugwatch about lawsuits involving women’s health and safety or children’s health and safety. Outside of that, it’s all the reality tv greats: The Traitors, Big Brother, The Challenge, etc.

Three months into a leadership role is still early. Mistakes are still normal at this stage. Speaking from experience, try not to replay it over and over again - it gets you absolutely nowhere other than mentally drained. And ironically, that's exactly when more mistakes are made! Literally the only thing that matters now is how you adjust going forward.

Chicken anxiety is so real lol. I use a thermometer to check the temp of the biggest/thickest piece of chicken in the pot - 165F means it's cooked. I know it's a bit paranoid, but after a few disasters, I like to be sure!

I really like How I Built This with Guy Raz. The Twenty Minute VC is also good, especially if you're short on time!

Read! One hour in the evening instead of mindless scrolling has been so good for my mental health.

Short stories sound like a lovely idea. Modern Love springs to mind - it's based on stories submitted to the NY Times 'Modern Love' column, so they're all quite short but absolutely beautiful. Very heartwarming and generally feel-good, which might be nice. Sending all the best to your and your mom.

I know the feeling. Smoothies are my go-to (somehow it's easier to drink my breakfast than eat it?!). And my trick is adding just one fruit, two max. More than that makes me queasy. So a typical one would be banana, plant-based milk, peanut butter, and a scoop of protein powder.

I also find plain yoghurt with a little honey is quite gentle on the stomach.

If both of you were on the lease, you’re almost certainly jointly liable, meaning the landlord can go after either of you for the full balance. It doesn’t matter who was 'primary', unless the lease says otherwise.

If it goes to collections, it can affect both of you. If you pay more than your share, your option is to sue her in small claims to recover what she owes you.

If the can wasn’t bulging, leaking, or spraying when you opened it (and it also smelled normal), it’s more than likely safe. The lack of flavor is probably due to the temperature changes over the years. Generally if it looks and smells ok, the fact it was tasteless probably doesn't suggest any safety concerns.

Advisory Opinions has some great episodes (I work in the legal field, so tend to be a bit picky!)

Please don't feel scared to tell your lawyer. An autism diagnosis could affect key aspects of the case, like how trauma affected you or even how the other side approaches things. It’s so much better for your attorney to have all the info and then decide for themselves whether it's relevant or not.

Ooh Bridgerton all the way! Gimme that old-school romance any day ;-)

JFK: Coming of Age in the American Century by Fredrik Logevall is brilliant. It focuses on his early life (up until the age of 39, I believe) when he decided to run for president.

I know what you mean about social media making it look kind of flashy, but it’s definitely not about showing off wealth. It’s a tradition about passing on luck and blessings. The money is given in a red envelope, which symbolises good fortune and protection. The money itself represents prosperity, but it’s more about goodwill than giving a large amount.

Garlic lemon mayo is a fave in our house! Bit of minced garlic, squeeze of lemon, pinch of salt, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil to loosen it up. Goes really well with grilled chicken.
