I've seen it done on a lot of older houses -- and also older painted houses sandblasted to expose the original brick, with great results. This house is only about 30 years old. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-58013182075110343712017-07-19T08:54:01.708-04:002017-07-19T08:54:01.708-04:00We went for brunch that morning/afternoon & I ...We went for brunch that morning/afternoon & I had a ham & Swiss omelette -- which tasted great but I guess I wound up paying for it...!

Like after my very first attack. Mine was taken out laparoscopicly, so I had 5 very small incisions and it was done on an out patient basis. I went to the hospital at 6am on a Monday and was home before noon. I slept the rest of that day and most of the night. By Thursday I was driving and taking my dogs (good non-leash pulling) dogs around the park. I wasn't 100% but I'd say my energy level was "getting over a lousy cold" level. I only took 700mg ibuprofen for pain and stopped after a week. I have had zero side effects, can eat anything I like without issues and only occasionally (less than once a month) need a Prilosec. I highly recommend having it out as soon as you can but not during an active attack. Everyone I've talked to that had the surgery during an attack needed drains and a couple night hospital stay.

But ...I'm not a retiree and I'm still nosy! But it works because hubs and I live in an older neighborhood (one neighbor has sixty years on me-literally) and it's nice that everybody keeps an eye out for everybody else. <br /><br />Regarding the gallbladder, I've had issues for years, It all started in my early 20s (ironically they asked me at that time how many kids I had) and I've dealt with it since then. The biggest things that trigger an attack are pork of any kind and if I eat too much greasy food. The greasy food isn't so bad, but the poke is hard, especially because hubs' Italian relatives love to put sausage in EVERYTHING and then get a little offended when I don't eat my body weight in whatever is being served. Whole milk also bothers me, but not nearly as much as it used to. I still have mine, but hubs had his out probably about 11 years ago. He has a couple of little pinhole incisions and he recovered quickly (which is saying something because he does not handle any sort of pain well). <br /><br />And four kids?!?! Holy Jesus.

Much like all the kids in New Zealand singing Christmas carols about winter wonderlands and sleighs bells jingling! <br /><br />My sister had gallstones, and felt SO much better after surgery. It sucks that it might be oestrogen-related though. (When I think of it, she might have had them post-partum.)<br /><br />Yeah, I don't get people have lots of kids. And these days, four qualifies as "lots!" <br /><br />Enjoy your guilt-free (I love gift vouchers) mani-pedi!<br /><br />Ahh, the joys of having a view. You can watch what's going on with all the neighbours! (I'm the same - keep an eye out on people walking around on houses below us.)Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.com
