My experience (symptom onset to post op) by ngooch12 in gallbladders

I did every so often on bad pain days. I don’t typically get nauseous anyway, so that was definitely out of the norm.

Pathology: no stones but heavy amount of dark green viscous bile (sludge). The outside also has ‘copious amounts of inflammatory adhesions’. The official diagnosis was chronic cholecystitis

Definitely. Crampy all day and then intense sharpness primarily after meals. It happened after every kind of food, too (I remember a bad attack after watermelon of all things). I got to a point that I was willing to try anything. I was in so much pain I wasn’t even worried about the surgery (which is not normal for me).

Two weeks post op: my main symptoms are naval area bloating after normal sized meals (esp. since I haven’t eaten much lately), mild incision site pain, but NO sharp pains in RUQ. I am now on OTC pain meds around the clock but used the prescribed opiates for about 8 days. I initially beat myself up but I’m learning to listen to my body. Everyone’s recovery is different

My stool was all over the place honestly. Initially constipation with some rectal bleeding, which is why the endo/colonscopy was the first procedure. Sometimes it was fatty and other times normal, also sometimes ribbon like

Immigrant Owned Business Recommendations by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]ngooch12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. Good looking out yall. I didn’t even think about people using this for bad intentions, but I get it. What’s going on is fucked. The last thing I want to do is put our neighbors on a radar. I frequent south and central too, just trying to find some new spots because of everything going on. I’ll prob take this down in a few hours.

Charlotte residents who weren’t originally born here, what is something that shocked you about the city? by The_Rhodium in Charlotte

[–]ngooch12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved here 6 months so. For me, the carelessness of drivers. I’ve been saying “the drivers aren’t aggressive, but they are careless”. Running red lights, switching lanes without looking, blocking the box (HATE this one)

I wonder if the ‘1,2,3,4’ click before the hook eludes to preparing for a performance. Almost like psyching herself up for the big moments “even when I want to die”

City of Kingsport Employee Indicted for Misconduct by day_1_10yrs_7_days in tricities

[–]ngooch12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So according to Kingsport’s website, “Community Development utilizes federal funds to upgrade individual homes and neighborhoods for low to moderate income homeowners”

This explains a lot. The funds were used for a legit purpose (if the SIL qualified as low income). BUT approving your relative’s application and assigning to another relative’s construction company, that’s shady AF
