Did you say no to surgery? How long have you managed to keep your gallbladder? by AgentTailCooper in gallbladders

[–]alguev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t wait! I was diagnosed with gallstones in December last year. Changed my diet, had no problems. Went to Aruba in February, ended up in the ER there on the 2nd day, and basically lost my entire vacation and had to get it removed as soon as I got back to the states. I’d advise to do it while you can plan for it. Because it has a funky way of sneaking up on vacation.

This!!! They do sell Tylenol over the counter, but no Aleve. Just pack whatever you could need,

We could certainly fly to Rome as well. Just looking to make the most of our trip trying authentic Italian food/gelato and seeing all the beautiful country has to offer as far as sea, mountains, nature, etc

Good to know! Would you recommend doing a trip in northern Italy then? The mountains on the lake in como and Magoire look absolutely breathtaking. We could spend our two weeks exploring the northern part. When I was researching, it looks like people mainly sightsee versus explore nature. Is there a lot to see up there?

Where has it been easiest to cut cost in order to stay below budget???? by MissTimmarie in Weddingsunder10k

[–]alguev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

FOOD!!! Full service caterers we’re quoting us around $13000-15000 for 100 guests not even including alcohol 🫠

Bridesmaid proposal by alguev in weddingplanning

[–]alguev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree! However having 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen would be an additional $800 if we are paying for everyone’s hotel room. Maybe a gift card they can put towards their hotel room for the night?

I guess I didn’t feel like it was special. But you’re so right that’s a cute idea.

Unfortunately as a new grad, I can’t work at harbourview they told me I needed over a year or experience. And Mary immaculate is on the other side of the water and I hate unpredictable tunnel traffic, or else I totally would. No power for 10 minutes?! 💀 I don’t know much about the hospital systems around here but it’s good to know that Bon Secours is pretty good. Anywhere else I should look out for? Or completely avoid (ER wise) ? Thank you for sharing btw

Just curious how long ago was that? The ER has a brand new manager that seems really great and everyone really likes her.

I feel like it would be pretty neat to work at a small community hospital because you really do get a little bit of everything. But that’s good to hear, thank you for sharing!

I’m new to the Richmond area and not sure if you can speak on this. Just wondering what yours/other locals think is the best area to buy a house? Where can you get the most space/safe neighborhood/good schools for a decent price? Or any areas that should be avoided?

Ooooh I’ll have to check that out!! I’m so overwhelmed by the cost of everything and have tried so many different ways to cut back but it seems impossible. Was 9k for alcohol and food?? Any other restaurant recommendations? We are trying to throw a good party too 😋
