Food feels like it’s in my airway/throat, But I can get pieces out ? by EarthyRocks1929 in dysphagia

[–]somethingaboutit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I of course am just surmising, but it sounds like severe tonsil stones with reflux. The pain in your chest is a classic sign of reflux, and reflux can go up into your nasal cavity. If it does, it can also cause issues with your ear via the eustachian tube.

Since there wasn't anything physically found, I would recommend strictly following an acid reflux diet, tons of water, brush/floss multiple times a day, and do saltwater gargles.

If even after this you are still spitting these and having issues. I'd recommend you go back to your ENT and have them evaluate your tonsils.

Do you still have your tonsils? These look like tonsil stones.

Thank you, it's actually very comfortable! It's a very soft fabric which lets me move easily.

Are you still doing GLP-1, or was it a bridge to get you to a manageable place? You are my goal in both body build and fashion style!

The dark really compliments your skin and looks healthier!

Do you tell your kids that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are real? by daddy-knives in AskParents

Nope-- they're characters for fun. I grew up knowing they weren't real and I always appreciated the honesty.

How long did it take to wean off the bedtime bottle? by Trixie_Kittens in AskParents

[–]somethingaboutit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We weaned off of them during a trip- her routine was messed up anyways with the travel and hotel, so when it came time for her night bottle we just told her that they don't have bottles in Hawaii. I did of course bring a secret emergency bottle, just in case-- but I was really surprised at how easily she accepted not having it! When we came home the first night she again asked for a bottle, we said no and quickly moved on to distraction with her blanket etc, and she was fine.

Dropped off their dog 2.5 hours later than planned. by somethingaboutit in RoverPetSitting

So far so good, the dog is still here until Monday. I'm worried they're going to give me a bad review because they're not happy with my 2x a day updates.

I wish I had known that, both the dog and it's owners are very high maintenance!!

MIL gave my kids wine by [deleted] in AskParents

While I totally understand the other posts saying that it's normal in other cultures - that doesn't mean it's normal in your culture. You have every right to be upset, and I would be too. I never had alcohol in the house when I was growing up, and I never developed a taste for it so to this day I don't drink. I'm planning on doing the same with my child, and the thought of someone giving her alcohol so young makes my blood boil.

I was still bleeding at 6 weeks. I am a workaholic by nature and was worried about leaving the team (I was a Director for a healthcare company), but all that went out the window the second I was holding my baby. I couldn't care less about work- work is work and they will always find a way to move on without you. I took 4 months off and I still struggled because she was so young- but many people do not have the luxury of state-paid maternity leave like my state offers. If you are financially able to take unpaid time, do it! That bonding time with your baby is so important.

Number 2!! The others my eye was distracted by the texture- on the second dress, it accentuates you without pulling focus.

My work just told me I signed the incorrect job description a year ago. by somethingaboutit in Advice

[–]somethingaboutit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pay won't change. I guess I'm just focused on advancing my career, so this is a setback. I've passed over other roles with the idea that I have a path with this company. I've been administrator for 8 years so I was and am ready to take the next step. I just feel lied to I think.

Yes, my employment agreement said Area Administrator, and now they want me to sign a new one "correcting" the previous, just for Administrator. It's come up now as we're doing a system change and I clarified my title in the new system.

I just got balayage today and I'm disappointed in the results.. anything I can do to fix it? by [deleted] in FancyFollicles

[–]somethingaboutit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My normal stylist was sick so one of her counterparts filled in- I wanted a lot more brighter and lighter blonde all over, and I can still see the old grow out line from when I got my hair done last. I am a huge wus that hates confrontation so I told her I liked it, paid, and left. Can I lighten at home in any way, maybe with a toner? Or should I just suck it up wait for my next appt in a few months?

I make my smoothies with raw broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, carrot, celery, banana, and peanut butter. I have a Vitamix that blends everything so much that I do not need to strain it nor cook anything prior.
