MRI

Just wondering- did you have an mri before surgery or just X-rays? I can deal with an mri I just need more evidence that a hip replacement is necessary since my X-rays only showed mild arthritis.

Skin Care Recommendations Products to Avoid

Going to try some Trader Joe’s skincare products. I’ve never tried them before. Are there any products I should avoid? I see a lot of product recommendations but not products to avoid. I am 65 with dry and dull skin. Thank you.

Finished

I just spent my Sunday watching all of Midnight Mass. What a great show! I’m so glad I finally took the time to watch.

Finale

I don’t want to dig around the posts in this because I want to avoid spoilers. Did this series have a satisfying ending? Like can you tell it was only meant for 7 episodes?

Aspirin

Should a person already on blood thinners take aspirin at the sign of a heart attack? I am not asking for medical advice.

Milk of Magnesia

Have you had any luck with milk of magnesia for constipation? I don’t see too many posts about it. If you used it and were helped please let me know and also what effects it had on you. Thank you.

Magnesium Citrate

For those of you who have used this method- I was wondering about the effect. I’m guessing it cleans you out but is it all over in one day? Do you have lasting effects? Thanks

Doctors

There’s probably a better sub to ask but here goes - I had a consultation with an orthopedic doctor about hip pain. He thinks I’m headed to replacement which is fine. My problem is I don’t want him performing the surgery. I would actually like to deal with a different doctor but in the same large practice. Have any of you switched doctors within the same practice? I just feel it would be so awkward. Like switching hair dressers at the same salon.

Sit-on needlepoint stand

Have any of you used these types of stands? I do needlepoint just to keep busy so I don’t eat too much - I usually get the brvsk kits because they’re pretty easy to follow. I think a stand would help with my neck pain. Thanks

Arthritis

68 year old female. I saw an orthopedic doctor for hip pain. He said I have level 3 arthritis- moderate. The report I got on mychart said mild. My physical therapist recommended I go by what the orthopedic doctor said. Should I go by the orthopedic doctor or the report from the radiologist? Thank you.

County Line Dancing

Anyone know if there’s any place in delco that has country line dancing? Years ago I went to the elks club in Wilmington - it was a big group of people and the instructor would teach a couple of dances in the beginning. I would love a setup like that again since I’ve forgotten the dance steps. Thanks

Embroidered Tops

I really like the look of embroidered tops but I’m having trouble finding affordable tops- even online. As a reference I like the tops that mee maw wears in the young Sheldon show. Google isn’t really a help - most of the sights that come up are for ordering custom embroidered tops. Anyone have a lead on these types of tops? Thanks.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Anyone who has had this surgery not covered by insurance-did your surgery center offer a payment plan? I was wondering if this was even possible.

Pex water distribution system

I got an estimate to replace existing water piping throughout my home. The plumber would be using PEX. This is the first time I’ve heard of this system. Plumbers- what do you think of this system? Some of the stuff I’ve seen online isn’t great.
