Given how tight the grocery budget has been lately I thought I would try the canned chicken at Costco. I drained it, rinsed it, and fried it in a pan with some taco seasonings then put it in quesadillas for my family. Toddler and husband loved them and I was feeling very good knowing that I had discovered a low cost easy meal that everyone liked.

Less than 30 minutes after eating I felt the tightness high up just below my rib cage. I took some deep breaths but I knew if it was hurting my stomach so quickly it was only going to get worse.

I sounded and felt like a boiling kettle with the gas moving through my body. Rumbling sensations that lasted 30 seconds at a time and felt awful as

I'm getting sick of the bottom 4 Queens just trading points we need more drama either they all assign their point at the same time like they do on the main stage or give the top 2 points to give away also

One day in your tired parent form, you or someone in your life may accidently buy the wrong type of diaper, the ones that are great for older babies and are pulled up instead of fastened with tabs.

I am here from the future and telling you that no amount of "but diapers are expensive" and "it's only one box" are worth your sanity or happiness. Throw the damn box out, donate it, keep it for your toddler to use on their baby dolls...

These fuckass diapers are going to be my 13th reason.

My baby is a year old and nurses to sleep and whenever he is upset and I want to stop. Any tips appreciated!

Curious what has worked for others

I found stretching my patellar tendon helped (lift foot up and down when holding heel slides) but haven't been able to get past 120 for a few weeks

8 weeks post op ACL meniscus repair

I started weight bearing completely 3 days ago.

I was doing some bends standing (like how you would stretch a quadriceps) and then when I went to do banded TKEs I felt a buzz/vibrating/sloshing sensation in my knee. It's hard to describe but maybe like fluid being squeezed through a tight opening. It was completely painless just weird.

I got on my spin bike and started doing some rotations and I felt the sensation a couple more times it freaked me out so I stopped but I'm wondering if others have felt this?

I got a used lamonde spin bike that comes with pedals that are cages on one side and cleats on the other side. I'm recovering from ACL surgery so I am looking to get more serious about cycling while I rehab my knee and can't do my sport for 8-12 months.

I don't understand how cleats work. Is it you buy the shoes and they basically have slots in the bottom and then you need to buy a pedal + cleat kit and install them on the shoe + bike? Is there any universal cleats or is it like you need to pick a brand and stick to it so everything fits together?

Hello. I recently purchased my first home and I have a backyard and a garage for the first time in my adult life. I want to build some steps for my garage out of wood and I think I can do it. Im just not sure where I would learn how to build stuff out of wood and what wood to buy. I own a drill I would have to buy a saw. Nobody in my life that I know is handy so I'm hoping I can find some YouTube videos or something to learn. Does anyone have any tips assume I know nothing at all.

I'm 18 days post op and I suddenly have an increase in pain especially on the side of my knee where I had my meniscus repair. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced a sudden return of pain. My surgeon did give the meniscus repair a 50% chance of working

Possible causes:

I finished the post surgical NSAID (celebrex) so possibly that was keeping inflammation within the joint down. Maybe I can try taking Advil and see if that helps the pain.

I also went to the mall in a wheelchair for a few hours the day before the swelling started so I spent a few hours without my leg propped up as high.

Maybe going a bit too enthusiastic with my leg lifts and knee bends.

I was told to

I had a knee reconstruction and am in a wheelchair/crutches for 6 weeks. I live in a 4 level split so I have been very dependent on my husband and mother (who we flew from Australia) to help in the house especially with my 10 month old baby.

My mother had a total knee replacement 10 years ago and needs another one on her other knee so it's pretty bad and painful.

Post surgery I was given percocets and acetaminophen/caffeine/codeine tablets (T3's) I weaned myself off the percocets by day 3 and never took the T3's

My mother and I have been sharing the recovery things I have, my cryo cuff and my heating pad, my TENS, my knee brace (I have lots of knee braces I've had bad knees for

My surgeon didn't want to take my entire meniscus so he put 10 sutures in my meniscus but he said it probably has a 50% chance of failure. I'm wondering what I can do beside take rehab very slow to try to help the repair stay. What actions were people doing when their repairs failed?
