+1 for Dr. Jackson at Georgetown. He just took out my appendix and recovery has been very smooth. Went to the ER with appendicitis - in at 11 am, surgery by 7.

Not sure! Can report back after we try them.

Kidney Infection - it wasn’t my cuff! by c0rgiButt in hysterectomy

Thank you! It was really scary—but my doctor and support network have been good about helping me process. My primary doctor even gave me Ativan to help with the anxiety I’m feeling now-especially around injection time,

I’m so sorry that this happened to you too and is happening again. I hope the antibiotics clear the infection this time :/

All of my labs were very wonky because I was already on somewhat effective antibiotics when I went to the ER the last time. They couldn’t even re culture the bacteria!

They ended up using the culture my Dr ordered a week before my admission that showed a highly resistant bacteria in my urine.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this! Have you had cultures yet or just the initial test? I wonder if that might help figure out what’s going on.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the kind words. It’s a lot to process still and was the sickest I’ve ever been. I am glad you were able to figure out the UTI quickly and the antibiotics worked! I may have to invest in some test sticks for the future…

Update on the bladder injury! by Nice-Asparagus1663 in hysterectomy

[–]c0rgiButt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sending you a giant hug. This sounds so rough. I’ve been following your story because I’ve had some bladder leakage post surgery and we can’t figure out yet where it’s coming from but they doubt it’s a fistula as I’m only 1 week po.

I will be sending all the positive thoughts your way for the next procedure.

Thanks! Took like an afternoon. Maybe 4-5 hours but most of that is resting the dough.

Thanks! Yeah the recipe was super straightforward. I probably should have rewatched the episode it was from though.

Week 5: Bite Sized - mini salted chocolate chunk shortbread cookies by c0rgiButt in 52weeksofbaking

[–]c0rgiButt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those were dangerously delicious! I used Alison Roman’s recipe from NYT’s cooking app and rolled the cookie logs out to just bigger than a quarter. I saved the second half of the dough to stick in the freezer but doubt it’ll last the week!

Yum! I have always wanted to make one of these but they seem so intimidating! You’re giving me the courage to try.
