@Pancreassassin May need electrolytes like Gatorade. You could also try blowing as hard as you can into a straw or bearing down like you are having a bowel movement may help.

Everyone including my dogs is snoring in my house right now. I want to be snoring too!

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump would sign a national abortion ban and restrict access to contraception if given the chance.

That is what’s at stake in November.

We will stop him.

All I want to do is squat and bend over like a normal person. I need this wound to heal! 😭😭

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin I am guessing since you had issues for so long it could be that and the atrophy probably doesn’t help either.

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin I don’t think this close to surgery they would consider that seeking. Maybe ask for a muscle relaxer to help your muscles relax. They have to realize that it is a big surgery. I hope they are able to help you.

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin You need to call your doctor in the morning

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin Hmm. I don’t think that sounds normal. I don’t work with a lot of ortho surgeries but it may just be a full body response. Did you get a nerve block?

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin What kind of surgery did you have again?

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

Some day my wounds will heal and hopefully that is before summer. Please let it be before summer.

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin Yes I have to put everything as close to the transmitter as I can.

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin Is the purple just from the glue or has the glue fallen off? Does your doctor say anything about this?

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

@Pancreassassin Is the incision itself healed? I had a weird scar after my surgery last year & at my 6 wk appt she told me to massage it basically. It itched like crazy at first because I was breaking the adhesions to the inner scar but overall it helped. They also suggested a cortisone cream🤷🏼‍♀️

PSA: STOP DRINKING BOTTLED WATER! It is just tap water that you are paying thousands of dollars a year for and it is killing our earth!!!

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

Nothing is more heartbreaking than hearing your dog whine in pain 😭😭

[Abby @Abby_Moschell]

My pcp told me. A type 1 diabetic I should try Ozempic to help with weight loss and better control my diabetes. Now I feel like I need a new pcp 🤦🏼‍♀️

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis.

These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.

As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom suddenly became a place of joy and hope.

In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.

Banting was 32 when he received the Nobel Prize, and he chose to share half the prize money with Best, who was his assistant and just 24 years old at the time. Banting refused to put his name on the patent and instead sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. He thought it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save millions of lives. "Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.

@Kidfears99 The last couple times I have gone through tsa while pre checked I have had to still do the full pay down because the metal detector still goes off.
