hi all, my dad will have a third turbt soon, pTaG3, and afterwards BCG. He has kidney failure and is having dialysis, I wonder how does that work together.
Really scared of BCG but as long as it helps 🙏
I wanted to share something that made me feel much better, I hope it does make you feel better too. So I spoke with a colleague the other day, I am myself 4 months after the partial medial side meniscectomy. He said he also a had partial meniscectomy on medial side when he was 22. He is 59 now and he said he has no issues with his knee at all. He said after surgery it took him good 2-3 years to get back to complete normal, and also he stayed physically active, which he believes helped the most. I was very happy to hear this.
Hi all, I wanted to share some things I've been meaning to start doing for ages but never got enough will for. But recently because of various reasons (including reflux) I had to start doing those, and apart from improved physical sensation of course, I also noticed I feel more peaceful, calmer, I feel less anxious too. So the things I've been doing for 2 months already:
Big one: me and my partner stopped staring at a laptop during dinner. This was what we wanted to do for a long time but then we come back from work tired, do a workout and just want to zone out with some tv series or youtube. So because we stopped doing it, I feel I eat slower, also I sit more straight when eating. Let alone the quality time together over a conversation.
2-3 hours no food before bed. I would eat dinner earlier and then would snack later. Stopped snacking.
Meditation/breathwork every day. Feels very challenging (if you ever had such a goal, you know what I am talking about), but I do mostly breath meditation, even if it is 2min energy meditation in the office to take away the sluggishness. I noticed breathwork (which I hated before) gives me this somewhat pleasant feeling. I also notice this pleasantness after my singing class, which is essentially breathwork.
1 coffe per day only, and of course not on an empty stomach. I drink camomile tea in the morning. And I looove coffe and cannot believe I drink herbal tea instead. But I feel so much better because of it.
Deactivated my social media accounts. I don't see everyone being happy, beautiful and successful and I don't care about it anymore.
So this is the list. Honestly, my 7-year-younger me would never believe I could do it all at once.
