This one's about some actual, real-life running. And not being normal.
Day 10 post-headbump came and went, then day 11 and day 12, and I was staring wistfully at the ceiling with a constant message circling around my head like a hunting falcon: [i]“Wait until you feel normal”[/i]. I jolted up so quickly that the tin of peas taped to my head went flying off and smashed

GnRH Injections & Mirena Coil
Hey all, I have spoken about this at great length with my friends & partner but obviously unless you know what it feels like, it's hard to give an opinion. I had a laparoscopy in June 2022 where I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and had the majority of it removed. The hospital I had this done at

how do I wash my hair?
silly question I know but I’m due to have open heart surgery very soon. I’m a 38 year old woman with long,blonde, curly hair. Can anybody give me some advice on how you washed your hair post surgery? I have a good support network so can get help if needs be. Thanks in advance for any advice.
