Hey everyone,
I had some blood work done about a month ago, and I just got my latest results back today. I’m scheduled for gallbladder surgery in two weeks, but things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. I guess it's possible the gallbladder itself is causing this decline?
Right after those first labs came back, I had a gallbladder attack—one of the worst ones I've ever dealt with, honestly.
Now, seeing these poor numbers has me pretty rattled. I'm not even sure who to ask, but I can't help wondering if the very organ I'm about to have removed is the culprit behind all this.

For instance, my FDA levels were at 49 when the limit is 40, but now they've jumped to 129.

I don't really get it. Maybe it's because I smoke, but as far as food goes, I haven't been eating much fat or snacking on junk. 😠

Hello everyone

My boy is dealing with this malignancy in his large intestine... right at the exit. About two or three months ago, his markers were sitting at 200, but now they’ve spiked all the way up to 900. The hardest part is that he didn't want surgery or chemo; he tried to handle it through other methods instead, and well, that hasn't really led him anywhere. I guess I'm wondering, just how bad is it when those markers jump like that? Is it possible that it has metastasized?
He isn't scheduled for an MRI until Friday... back when he had one two months ago, the tumor was roughly the same size as it was last April when they first found it.

I wish nothing but all the health in the world to everyone who is struggling out there div>

I usually shower twice a day... once before work and once after... though sometimes I hit the restroom before my shift starts and other times it’s after... it's hard to say how it all fits together 😂
There’s a routine to it, I suppose. Whenever I have a major bathroom moment, I feel like I absolutely have to shower afterward...

I work in this little coffee shop where a lot of Muslim customers come in, and they tend to use water bottles in the men's room to wash up down there.
I honestly don't get the logic behind trying to clean yourself with just cold water from a bottle... it's almost like it doesn't even count as washing.
Just deal with it, go home, take a proper shower, and call it a day. 😁

Bryan Newman83 said:Hey there! Does anyone know if a package I send tomorrow could actually make it to its destination in just two days if I use registered mail? Or is there some other way I should be sending things to get them there as fast as possible? Thanks!

Yeah, it can.

Finally found my package... honestly, it was a miracle from Bob himself, but it showed up. I'm done, though. I am never using international mail again. Ever.

Hey there.

So, I sent a package from Vienna over to Miami, and ever since Thursday, the tracking says it’s been sitting in Columbus... but when I actually called them, they couldn't find any trace of it. I even reached out to some information center at the post office, and the woman on the line told me the package hasn't even entered the US yet... 😕😕 🤷

Then why on earth does the status say it's in the States?? And that it was out for delivery but the address didn't match? I mean, the address is perfectly fine... honestly, who knows anymore.

I have a question 🙂 ... I mean, is shipping from Austria going to be cheaper for the US now that we've joined the EU? 😁

I’ve always had this visceral, almost allergic reaction to those creepy little horror kid tropes... honestly, back when I first saw The Circle, I couldn't bring myself to turn off my bedroom light for days 😱 and I definitely wasn't brave enough to leave my mom's door closed 🤣

Then there's that other movie starring Buffy... you know, the one with those equally unsettling children 😱 just gives me the chills, seriously

And now? If I were to sit down and watch this film today, I don't think I'd have anyone's door to hide behind 🤣

...I don't know... maybe if I'm with some friends, I might find the nerve to give it a watch someday 😬

Honestly, I’m terrified to actually sit down and watch this movie, yet I can't seem to stop myself from wanting to 😬... It’s been happening for days now; every single time I land on my usual streaming site, that trailer just pops up and stares me down. I finally gave in and watched it, and once I saw that it was supposedly based on true stories 😱... Well, I live alone. If this horror flick gets under my skin, I might actually find myself looking for a roommate just so I don't have to face the dark by myself. 🤣🤣

There isn't really an option... unless you just want to deal with the hassle of shipping via a bus line 😬

Honestly, whether you're trying to send stuff from abroad to the States or vice versa, they charge an absolute fortune... I live overseas, so I know how this goes firsthand. I've tried sending packages before, and let me tell you, the shipping fees are just brutal...

🙂

Hi there🙂

I have a bit of a question...

So, I sent off a package and I have the receipt to prove it was sent. But, here’s the thing—it never actually made it to the destination address. It wasn't sent via certified mail or anything, just standard shipping. I guess I'm wondering... is it actually possible that someone at the post office just swiped it?

Right now, I’m just not in a position to head to the doctor, since I have to catch a flight out to the US in a few hours anyway...

Aside from that, nothing really hurts... it’s more like this dull, jumping sensation in my lower abdomen... I suppose I'll just push through... 😠😠

I think I'll try to chug plenty of fluids for now... though I honestly don't know how I'm going to manage the travel today...

I really need some help here...

I’ve been dealing with this constant urge to pee... like, every single hour I feel like I have to go, but then when I actually get to the bathroom, nothing happens. It’s just this horrible, heavy pressure down there... such an unpleasant sensation. It’s irritating, too. This all started about three days ago. I’m definitely not pregnant—I just took a pregnancy test to be sure. I tried drinking some cranberry juice, but I guess that didn't do much for me...

Actually, about ten days ago, my ovaries were hurting quite badly. That stopped, and now this is happening instead. I’ve never felt this desperate to run to the restroom before. Honestly, I'm at my wit's end. I can't even see my OB-GYN until next week. Until then, I feel like I'm going to lose my mind, or I'll just end up sleeping on the bathroom floor. 🤷 😠
