  4. @@PurpleJazz It's a process for sure. I kept a "bucket" of ice next to my chair with water & isopure in it. I used a medicine cup to drink out of. When those got to hard to get down I switched to coconut water which is a super hydrator and sipped on that. It's going to take time. Just keep at it and if you can't do cold then do room temp.
  5. Skin care is as different as the DNA we are made of. Every one will have different outcomes with different products. There's no right or wrong. It's find what's best for you! I just hope my skin doesn't get "use" to this.

    10 pounds in 3 days?

    @@iamblessed1225 Are you sure your scale is right? 11 lbs in four days is a huge amount even for someone with a whole stomach. That's 38,500 calories in a 4 day period. Are you sure your not retaining fluid?

    I haven't seen mine since the month before surgery and I'm ok. I'm a researcher though so anything I don't know I find out!

  11. @@OutsideMatchInside I just went to the dermatologist last month for some eczema I had on my hands. I wasn't thinking about my face at the time. I got a $500 (co-pay $10) cream for my hands that worked perfectly. I even tried it on my face but nothing. I myself don't need to ask about this now because I've found my answer!

  13. @@Seahawkgirl You can always ask. Most protocols say to have 30cc or less drainage in a 24 hr period to have them removed. That's completely up to your surgeons discretion though. Mine had stopped draining and had black clots formed in the line. It was time to go and my surgeon's office was closed (Sunday) so I called the on call and told him my situation and that I was going to pull it. He said he couldn't "tell me to do it " and that he had to tell me to wait until Monday to ask if it was ok to pull it myself. I already knew that would be the answer I'd get so I said ok. I will "tell" them tomorrow that it's gone! Hung up the phone, got a sterile dressing, snipped the stitch and out she came. I've pulled many drains, I worked maternity for 7 years and quit a few of our DRs put them in our c-section patients.

    Fantastic!
  18. Disclaimer: DO NOT pull your own drain out. I'm medically certified to do so, I'm also horrible at following rules that make me hurt, therefor I made myself comfortable. My surgeon was not "thrilled" with me for doing so but he had no choice but to be stern, laugh, and then made me "promise" to cut that self care crap out! I told him he's just lucky I didn't have a staple removing kit because I would have taken those out too!! Itchy mess! I just needed him to do the surgery because I couldn't very well do it passed out. Once that was over I no longer needed his assistance. He pretty much told me to be quiet and set up my next appointment. Ha! That's the kind of relationship we have."Are you going to be compliant or not?!" " Well that depends buddy are you going to quit making my life miserable?!"
  19. Yes I did!!! I also pulled that aggravation out on day 3 of being home. It stopped working so bye!! I couldn't take it any longer!!! I felt 100x better after that. @@Seahawkgirl

    The BEST words I could ever hear....

    @@CanyonBaby I vote both!
  22. So last night I took my teenage daughter (14) to the movies. We were in the process of getting ready and she starts freaking out! She says " MOM!!! What the heck?!" I being in shock was like "What , what happened?!" She says "You're wearing my freaking underwear!!" I immediately flipped the tag over and sure enough they were hers! She bought the same ones as me only two sizes smaller. I, being thoroughly amused started doing the booty shaking victory dance. She however was not near as amused as I was. That's ok though because I got a new NSV AND I inherited a new pair of undies!! For some reason she insisted that I keep them! So when I say "funniest" what I really mean is funniest for me. Ha!! Winning!!!
