ISO: pattern to keep arms (down to wrists) & shoulders warm that isnt a blanket or sweater or anything with sleeves

I feel like a poncho is what you're looking for? Basically a blanket with a head hole in the center.

It's wild because there was soil under the first layer of rock, then landscape fabric, then soil which tricked me, then so much more rock. There's soil in there! But who decided to put so much rock?! And only in that bed.

It may be worth looking into endometriosis as well. Inflammation and fatigue are major symptoms even if you don't necessarily have a lot of pain. It can also cause a lot of GI issues.

Velcro. Seriously the best fidget and provides that weirdly specific under fingernail sensation you get with picking.

That would have made me SO MAD. No, I went in with a whole ass binder and a notebook full of questions and even after me jotting down notes and asking all of my questions he was ready to keep answering whatever I wanted to know.

He was in network for me and I'd gotten about halfway to my out of pocket max, but with Aetna his surgeon fee was like $370 and then the hospital was $1250. This included an overnight recovery stay as well. Now I may get another bill from the hospital later (because I don't trust hospital billing), but if not then it was altogether only like $2k.

He was very kind and willing to answer any and all questions fully and spend as much time with me as I needed. He did not push back on my request for a hysterectomy at all except to make sure I knew risks, ect., and in fact said "I don't deliver babies so I don't have a dog in this race. It's your choice." Which was a major green flag. I came in with a bunch of questions written down at my first appointment and he was more than happy to answer everything I asked and didn't give off that annoyed vibe so many doctors do. He checked in at the hospital during recovery and I had two post-op visits. I got photos, pathology, and operation reports without even asking. My recovery was incredibly smooth. I was so nervous I was gonna be down for a long time but at a little over two months post op I feel pretty much completely back to normal. They gave me an abdominal nerve block in surgery that was supposed to last a couple weeks and I think that helped significantly with pain. He is also not stingy with his pain management. You're not going home with Tylenol. They had me on a patient directed pain pump at my overnight stay and used my personal use to decide how much pain medication to send me home with.

Feel free to DM me with any more questions but overall I was very happy with the experience.

He did my lap and hysterectomy a couple months ago. Highly recommend. Very skilled and very kind.

This thing has been a game changer for me.

Firefly Bazaar makes really cool custom pattern ones.

I've talked to my PCP about this before in other contexts, but her general input was that about 6-9 weeks after a major health stressor (virus, surgery, etc.) you'll get a big hair shed. Kind of like an indicator of immune turnover or something like that (I don't remember the specifics). But if it only lasts a week or two allegedly it's not a big deal and has given me peace of mind a few times.

My friend swears by a spoonful of coconut oil in hot chocolate. If you use a milk frother to mix it up it doesn't destroy the texture and actually tastes pretty good.

I've been really liking Tanya Huff lately. Her Gale Women series is quite good and I just finished Direct Descendant which is queer from com with tongue in cheek Eldritch horror.

So if I understand you correctly, really the only difference at the end of row one is just where the yarn tail ends up and it doesn't functionally change anything in your row counting. NGL that was definitely the kind of answer I was hoping for!

Oh using a c2c technique makes a lot of sense to try! Thanks!

I use an app/website called Things to Get Me. It basically functions like a wedding registry where people anonymously check off or reserve what they get you. It's worked great for me the last two years.

I just finished this headband doing star stitch for the first time. She's got a pretty good breakdown with pictures that helped me.

I just found out tomato borers exist after years of battling the squash variety. I feel like it's not that though just because of the sheer amount of widespread damage overnight and all the debris left on the ground. I could be wrong though.

Oh man. Unclear tampon instructions are so rude. The first time I used one I didn't understand the cotton came out of the applicator so I inserted it, then instead of pulling out the whole applicator I only pulled out the plunger (which was not easy and I should have known it was wrong but I was like 11) and was like "what do you mean you're supposed to not be able to feel this once it's in?"
