    Emergency Bowel Obstruction Surgery

    You are probably full of water weight, from the iv's. Drinking water and walking as tolerated. Moving around helps. You're going to hurt, and for longer than after the original DS. Manage the pain and rest, but get in your fluids too. That's the best I've got. It sucks. my recent...

    Emergency Bowel Obstruction Surgery

    Been there twice - it is horrendous pain. I'm glad you are getting it under control. I agree with @DianaCox re: calling in the ombudsman. I have had to do that. It's their job. Use them. Rest and heal.

    How 'bout...Concussion Syndrome to end the year?

    Damn Sue. I had a concussion from being hit in the back/top of the head by a solid, heavy door when moving. It was 5 years ago. Since then I've had LOTS of general anesthesia. No ill effects attributable to the anesthesia. Sorry you're dealing with a sore noggin!

    I Has A School Sad

    Agreed. It is sad. I choose to focus on helping my small humans learn to be kind, give them opportunities to practice kindness, and teach them to protect themselves. no matter how I feel about it, this is the world we are in now.

    I Has A School Sad

    I worry every damn day because there is at least 1 unsecured door at my daughters' school at all times. I literally lose sleep over this. My husband (a first responder/firefighter/EMT) can't even talk about it if I begin to bring up the subject. It is supposedly being fixed, but none too soon...

    Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) & PPIs

    Gah. I've been without my protonix for just over 3 weeks. Pharmacy and physician's office can't seem to coordinate themselves to get it pre-authorized for this year. I'm dying. Twice daily zantac 150 and pepcid in the middle of the day. This keeps it barely at bay. I know I had a fatty...

    UPDATING the SIBO post.

    I've ordered it online from retailers on Amazon. There are 3 versions. I don't get the packets anymore (I did the first time). I get VSL 3. It's sort of the in-the-middle-of-the-road version. I used it specifically when I had a few months of multiple rounds of very very strong antibiotics...

    Dirty John

    The author did a podcast. I devoured it in a single day. Riveting. And then, a true crime podcast did a few episodes with the author where he gave even more information. I will look for the links. SO GOOD. Better than a 'thriller' audiobook. https://www.facebook.com/realdirtyjohn/...

    Don't read this at bedtime...

    This perfectly describes my 11 year old kid with autism and ADHD. Maybe the president is a bit asperger-ish?

    What happened????

    What kind of calcium? Some of them have excipient ingredients that are particularly binding.

    Best Brand Yogurts

    ER - does the vanilla flavor it enough for you? Do you add sweetener when you eat it? I've been trying to get the flavor right when making my own (I'm a vanilla, non-fruity yogurt eater).

    Diana's abdominoplasty/hernia repair insurance journey

    I'm in awe of your doggedness, and rooting for you to get maximum covered. At the same time, I am becoming resigned to having a misshapen/defective appearing lower abdomen. No plastic surgeon in the area will go near me for less than $10K. Still recovering from recession-itis and government...

    I was NOT prepared for this...

    Be thankful. My sweet tooth is horrible. Worse than before.
