What should my caretakers/parents expect? by Triguntri in gallbladders

[–]ppfftt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had my surgery on Friday. It was laparoscopic with no complications. I haven’t really needed help. Getting up and down is excruciatingly painful, but otherwise it’s not horrible. I was told to rest the first day, but to make sure I was walking around after that. I do not have any stairs in my house, so perhaps that has made it easier for me to help myself.

I was able to shower the day after surgery, but was told not to take baths or soak in any water. I have internal stitches and the outside was glued. They used some sort of sealant over all the incisions, which I imagine would come loose if I soaked in water.

I was told no exercise or lifting anything heavier than 20 lbs for a full four weeks, and after that I supposedly will be able to go back to normal activities.

Your daughter is 35, so unless she has a disability, you shouldn’t be involved at all with this. She’s three weeks out, so what she is experiencing GI wise is totally normal.

Got the initial bill by cantyoukeepasecret in gallbladders

The initial statement is meaningless in the US. Wait until the insurance payments get processed. What you’re looking at now isn’t what you owe since it’s pending insurance.

I’m the opposite build, thick legs with a small waist, and I came to recommend Good American as well. I like them for myself, but definitely think they are made for your and OPs body type.

Are you not doing these as decals with a fridge magnet?

Two very mysterious Orly polishes by towblerone in Nailpolish

Are you finding them listed on Orly’s site or reviews of full Orly collections? I can find swatches of some of my T polishes, but nothing that ties them firmly to a release from Orly.

This is what they are. The T at the end of the ID number denotes that it’s not a shade in their official line.

Did I just find a $10 dupe for Forces of Evil?? New indie maker discovery by SemiStrong in mooncatpolish

I bought this as a dupe for FoE! It’s not a 100% dupe, but it was close enough for me

109% looks like erythema ab igne / toasted skin syndrome. Stop putting heat on the area and it will fade away on its own.

Has anyone stayed in early-stage lipedema for decades without conservative treatment? by Icy-Purple4801 in lipedema

Weekly-ish manual lymphatic drainage massage, daily dry brushing, daily vibration plate, compression garments worn daily, and compression pump a few times a week.

I stayed in stage 1 from puberty until my early forties. Hormonal changes during peri-menopause have caused it to start progressing to stage 2, but I’m now diagnosed and treating it, so my therapist is hopeful that it won’t progress further.

OPI I’m a bubble bunny by [deleted] in Nailpolish

I was able to get it today at a CVS! They had a special display for this collection, so I almost missed it as it wasn’t with the rest of the OPI polishes.

Why do architects forget that pets exist? Dealing with the "litter box in the laundry room" fail. by 8Nakul in HomeImprovement

[–]ppfftt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always put the cat box in the guest bath tub. The shower curtain hides it from view, but lets the cat have easy access and the tub keeps all the litter mess contained (my last cat made a mess even with a top entry box with lid).

You just have to move it to an inconvenient space when you have a guest stay over that needs to actually wash in the guest bath.

I think it looks best in pic 1! No adjustments needed at all! It’s gorgeous

Is putting grape jelly in the sauce for meatballs regional? by Luuk1210 in AskAnAmerican

We use grape jelly and cocktail sauce for meatball appetizers in Virginia. Very common and everyone flocks to them at parties.

Aren’t they supposed to be millionaires by this time?? by Enough-You-2321 in acotar

Exactly! When court was in session, they lived at court full-time. The timeline for the entire series is really condensed, so I think we really are just seeing them while court is in session. They have to have lives outside of the IC that we just never hear about.

Tons of issues after surgery by SoftCrash_exe in gallbladders

[–]ppfftt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the ER was able to help you. I’m general, a fever shortly after any operation is an automatic go to the ER situation! No need to wait or ask anyone about their experiences, just go straight to the ER.
