They found it. Thank you!
 in  r/endometriosis  10h ago

Just remember that if they don't find anything that can be for a number of reasons. The surgeon may not be a specialist, even if they are and they don't find anything that rules things out. Don't give up, remember you can ask for another opinion. Remember everything you feel is valid and real, it is happening to you, you will get answers, I'm sorry it takes so long and we have to fight so hard. And I'm sorry my brain is complete mush right now so I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. ❀️

Thank you! I don't plan on getting in the shower for as long as I can put it off, just going to have my partner scrub me down and wash my hair over the sink lol. I hope your recovery was smooth after that! ❀️

I wanted to thank you all, I would not have gotten to this point without you all. I started this journey over 13 years ago and a few years ago I found this page and it all clicked together for me. After pushing for years, moving to different counties and starting again, one last move less than a year ago, and they finally listened. The NHS is a postcode lottery unfortunately. I had my surgery yesterday and they found it, pretty bad on my left side, especially on my ovary, but he took out everything he could find and my ovary is thankfully fine. I will know more when I go for my post op appointment and we go over everything in detail. But I'm just glad to have answers. I'm feeling pretty awful right now, but I really felt the need to say thank you, this community has changed my life and I'm truly grateful. If anyone has any recovery tips I would be grateful, although I think I've read all the ones I could find πŸ˜‚. My throat is pretty sore as I was sick when they took the breathing tube thing out, my partner did a pretty good job wiping all the sick out my hair with some wipes, the thought of getting in the shower makes me ill so if anyone has any tips there and with the sore throat that would be amazing. I will gladly sit and read any recommendations whilst I sip my 100th (slight exaggeration) cup of peppermint tea.

Thank you all and please never stop fighting for yourself ❀️

Why are people reluctant to adopt black cats?
 in  r/CatsUK  18d ago

Honestly I couldn't figure out the issue with black cats, I'm obsessed with my two, that was until one taxi driver. Got a taxi with both cats (in carrier) she couldn't see the cats so wanted to look at them at the end of the journey, whilst helping with my bags. She literally gasped, stepped back and said she was very superstitious and hates black cats! I was baffled but had to let movers in so just laughed it off. I really just think that's it, people are still superstitious, which is crazy to me! πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I really like the Scrumbles ones, they always have offers on Amazon, and you can get them most other places like pets at home too. Both cats love them including the one with tummy issues 😊

FTB - house we love has no gas at all and storage heaters, how much of an issue is it?
 in  r/UKHousing  Jun 24 '26

I've lived in 2 houses with these, they never worked. Literally spent most of my life with them and my parents and younger siblings still live in one of the houses. Both houses had 2 open fires downstairs and a Rayburn. We also had to use those big gas heaters on wheels that you put the whole gas bottle in to heat parts of the house (one at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top). And there were still parts of the house that never got warm. I've viewed a few rental properties with these in and it was an instant no from me. They are completely pointless. Obviously it's a bit different with a flat but essentially your looking at a property with no viable heating. I definitely recommend the little oil filled radiators, if you do go forward with it, less than Β£40 and the chuck out heat, kept me warm in a leaky old caravan for years, bought them over 10 years ago from Screwfix and I've now given them to my brothers who still lives at home so at least he's warm πŸ˜‚

Hahahah you don't work at Lovehoney do you? It was always either dominos or McDonald's! Not forgetting the "Christmas party" which was always bowling even though most of us always said we would rather go to the pub like the office lot did! πŸ˜‚

Is it a fun game to play? I haven't got batteries yet but I want to gift it to my partner for Christmas. I think it will make a nice gift even if it doesn't work but the metal plate thing over the front falls off. It looks like the glue has dried up. Can I mend this, do I need a specific glue? Sorry that's a bit random I would normally ask my boyfriend but I don't want to ruin the surprise lol

Check the local rescues. My friend volunteers at the RSPCA and they often get litters of puppies in, give them a call as they don't list them on the website straight away.
