YEEESSSS
That defending wasn’t it
We gave 'em so many chances!
I had a gastroscopy today to try to identify the cause of sudden onset severe reflux I’ve experienced in the last couple of months. Looks like I’ve got a hiatus hernia impacting my oesophagus, which I think the best cure for is surgery. Anyone else dealt with anything like that?
I have one of those! Funnily enough, I had it prior to picking up smoking (I also had wear and tear along my oesophagus from the bile I was refluxing, doc thought I was a smoker haha).
I was told that, for me (yours may be/is different) if I had surgery there was a high liklihood that it would just herniate again. I was told to stop eating acidic foods like tomatoes, coffee, chocolate, dont pick up smoking, and it can be managed.
I never stopped eating/drinking those things heheh 😬😅 and ending up picking up smoking 2 years later when I was 28 (long story). I still get reflux and whatnot, but it’s managable and I take full blame for any issues that may develop later.
Iirc, the surgery is a keyhole one, not really too intrusive, though I may be misremembering. Either way, i dont believe the recovery time was long. I think get a second opinion just to be sure, but if you have been advised that surgery is for the best, then defo consider it!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. From what I’ve read online the non-surgical treatments just manage rather than fix the problem. I miss onion and garlic and tomato and chilli so damn much 😭😭
I still want to be Mackenzie Arnold when I grow up
I’m older than most of the Matilda’s and I still want to be them when I grow up 🥲
Sky was clean tonight. Bit of a quickie of NGC 6193:
Now time to do a BLT dins.
Good game England 🤝 Not even fresh legs could save us.🦵
Those poms are unreal. Really impressive. Maybe next time for us ;)
:(
England played bazball. (Only you and me will know what that means)
Put an offer in on a house today. Pray for Mojo.
I’ve had to stop actively watching the game as it was making me too anxious.
I bought Suzerain back in the steam sales but never got around to playing it until today. I think I’m only like halfway through the story, so no spoilers please, but I’ve come to conclusion that I probably shouldn’t be put in charge of a country. Particularly one in about a bajillion different crises at once (which I suppose is every country these days)
I’ve been playing for about 4 hours, but I had to switch it off since is late now. But I guarantee I’m going to be overthrown soon lmao
We still get 1/3rd a day off if they’re 3rd right? right?
Just devoured this.
Most of my fizzy drink gone.
I am content.
Pizza!
Chips to come soon after resting while watching the Matildas. Come on, you can this!
Please post your pre game meals, snacks, drinks, platters etc tonight. You’ll make me very happy 😊 Go Matildas ⚽ 💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚 ⚽️
Will do though nothing fancy.
Home brand cheese corn chips, bottle of homebrand orange drink and my bargain of the day, a 700g of smoked ham for $2.80.
I went crazy and ate about 1/2 of the ham already.
I’ve got a whole pizza as well in the fridge ready for game time.
chips and drink
That’s alotta ham for $2.80. who’s your hook up?
It was just at Woolies on the clearance section because the use by date was very close.
I had a bowl of air fried cooked brown rice. One half desert spoon of olive oil and half a teaspoon of vege real gourmet stock with about a cup of cooked brown rice. Ten minutes air fry, its crunchy and tasty like potato chips, but cos brown rice / olive oil, super healthy. For game snacks its rice cakes and promite. I’m keen on keeping this figure.
4 hours sleep. Calling it early. Work can take a hike today
Look at you all warm and toasty there. Still negative temperature where I am.
