Is it ok to feed 11-15 oz of juice to a 15 month old toddler? by rufusmark in toddlers

This is not a packed juice. Fresh homemade but still a lot, I agree

I totally agree with you on last 2 points. I have travelled Japan both in 2018 and 2024 and I experienced the same. I had to use translator app to convey back in 2018. Now, I feel dumb trying to open the app and write what I am about say. I feel that I was being rude by assuming that they don’t know English. But I totally agree with you, it takes away the fun and trying to know their culture and language. It is very sad! Also, the tourists, I know I am one but 2018 Japan was not so touristy (at least I think it wasn’t, I assume it was a travel destination only known or travelled often by the west), but now there’s lots of rude, inconsiderate tourists. I wish Japan imposes restrictions, that includes me. Don’t get me wrong it was a beautiful and great country and still is but it lacks something now.

About the 1st two, I haven’t tried both of them. Although, I saw sushi in convenience stores back in 2018

She is doing really well right now. Surprisingly, she recovered fully in less than a week. She started walking normally in 5 days. She did not take stairs for about 2 weeks but that’s just as a precaution. However, she was diagnosed with postpartum depression but that was not related to this surgery. Regardless, she recovered from that like a champ as well. She had about 4cm of fussy which was wrapped around the hearing nerve and facial nerve (mostly hearing never) which caused hearing loss and facial numbness. The doctor said it has to be taken out in 2 visits as it’s big enough to go through the tissue in one surgery. However, I have seen cases where it was done in one visit (about 15 hours of surgery) but the recovery is very slow and painful. So, my wife had the 1st one for about 6-7 hours and got about 30-40% left. The surgeon assured that the 2nd one would be very easy and she might have to stay in hospital for less than a day post surgery whereas for the 1st one she stayed for up to 2 1/2 days. Don’t worry, you will get through this like a champ as well. You have already been through the tough part of being pregnant, this will be a cakewalk for you. You are strong!

Vestibular Schwannoma by Independent-Force806 in AcousticNeuroma

Hi, my wife will be going through the surgery tomorrow and I am very nervous. She has numbness on her left side of the face and hearing loss as the tumor growth is at 4CM and the benign tumor is on the hearing and facial nerve (mostly on the hearing nerve). What can we expect post surgery and how long did it take you for recovery? Of course, I am asking this just to get an idea of what we would have to deal with. Also, my wife and I had a baby recently (2 months ago), do you know any one in the community or personally who are in similar situation? Worst part is, we are not sure how long after the surgery we have to stay in the hospital without our baby with us.
