How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back.  I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once.  Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL.  Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
How long did it take to actually seen results? NM

What kind of biopsy

What kind of biopsy did you have and when did you have it?  Out here (Virginia) I had a stereotactic biopsy on a Wednesday morning and the results at noon the next day.  At the breast clinic here everyone comes in for the results.  I liked knowing the very next day, regardless of the outcome.  You know - the percentages are actually in your favor ... all the research I've done indicates 80% of biopsies are benign.  I had one 4 years ago that was benign.  Please let me know how you're doing.  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.


Breast biopsy
What is the normal length of time time to wait on the results of a biospy for a lump in the breast.  I was given a very vague answer today about when?  Thanks!
Endometrial ablation
I went back through the forum search and found ladies who were glad they underwent this. I'm scheduled for it in a couple weeks and I am wondering if y'all still felt the same about it, or if any more of you have had it done?

I know that NO periods are not guaranteed afterward, but I must confess I'm hoping for this result. I'm 50, so maybe I'm close to the end of menses anyway. One can only hope!
Anyone had an endometrial ablation? (sm)
I am tired of these monster periods....I have heard that some people are now having endometrial ablations rather than hysterectomies...a friend of mine had one and has no more periods.  However, the sites that I read say that it only reduces bleeding and only temporarily.  Anyone know?  Is there another name for the procedure I am thinking of that causes permanent ending of the period without having a surgical hysterectomy?
endometrial ablation
I had one in December 2005 and I've been quite pleased. It stopped my periods and my cramps. My periods had gotten quite painful and I'd bleed for days, so my GYN advised me to do this, so I did, and I'm very happy that I did. I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever.
punch hole biopsy?
I am scheduled to have this done on Monday and have never had anything like it done before, can any one shed some light on this?  I don't know what the instrument used looks like, nor how painful it will/won't be.
Need results!
my daughter is getting married in May - I want to lose 10-15 pounds by then. . I REALLY am going to try. . I think I can do it. . many people lose so much more than that. . that seems like it should be easy. .but at this point, I would be happy with 5 pounds. . we'll see...
AI Results . . All I have to say is

I've gotta start voting!! 


and wasn't that a bit cruel that Ryan mentioned no one was voted off last year's Give Back show - ouch - that hurt


 


Great results for me
Five months post op, no period!
Have you gotten results when you've hit him?
Or has he continued his behavior even when he's received a spanking or switching or whatever? Please consider this!

Something's going on with him obviously and he has no clue how to express it. Poor thing!
I definitely will let you know when I start seeing results! I sm
am usually a quitter when it comes to stuff like this b/c I'm so busy with work, home, kids, but I am not giving up this time even if I don't start seeing results in 3 months!
"not seeing results" ?

But you just named some fantastic results already after 1+ weeks -- you feel better, have more energy, and you're motivated.  Those are the results that will get you to your goal weight/size.  But -- and I'm no health/exercise expert here -- IMO how you feel and your health are the more important thing than what size jeans you wear.  How you feel, your energy level, any health conditions that are improved, your self-esteem -- those are what you need to focus on and you're already seeing results in those areas!  Congratulations!!  The weight/size will take time but are worth the wait and are even more fun to enjoy when you FEEL better and you have the sense of accomplishment and pride that you did this for yourself.  (Keep in mind how long it took you to get to your current weight and remember it WILL NOT take that long to lose it again :-)  It took me 36 years and 4 pregnancies to get to my "fat" jeans - but only 6 months to get to my "skinny" jeans)


About 4 years ago I managed to do just what you are doing - walking on a treadmill 30-60 minutes (depending on how I felt and time) 5-7 days a week.  I felt wonderful and so proud of myself for making this change.  Gradually, over a couple months, as I felt better physically and mentally I added some LIGHT weights (hand and ankle weights) and floor exercises -- I never have been and never will be "athletic" or "physically active".  I have never participated in an organized sport and never will and my hobbies are reading and embroidery, my job consists of sitting on my tuckus... 


I also read the Adkins diet book.  Like many I also did not want to change my eating habits -- mainly because I didn't feel I needed to all that much.  I don't care much for sweets and, like you, have a house, family and full-time job to keep me busy.  I didn't want to cut out any "treats" I could give myself to keep my sanity :-)  Fortunately, I already pretty much ate an Adkins type diet -- I love protein foods and, as I said, don't care much for sweets anyway (other than Dove chocolates and strawberry licorace) and I could eat salads every day.  Carbs were fairly easy for me to cut down on -- again, I did not take it to an extreme as suggested in the book (which I felt was extreme, anyway).  I didn't change my eating habits much but was just more aware of them and learned some of the things I could/was willing to change that would help.  What amazed me what how GOOD I felt.  For the first time in my life I felt like I had energy, I slept better, and was more awake/alert during the day, and I was so incredibly proud of myself for doing this for myself - what a sense of accomplishment.  It took about 6 months, but I was able to lose approx. 20-25 pounds.


Now for my big warning -- once you lose it you do have to keep working to keep it off!  As I said, this was 4 years ago.  Two years ago I had to take on a 2nd job.  My eating habits went to pot and I had no time for exercise.  I have now gained back 15-20 of those pounds.  The good thing is I know it took me 2 years to gain that weight back but I know I can lose it much faster than that - thank goodness.  I just quit my 2nd job and am SO looking forward to getting back on my treadmill and eating dinner at a reasonable hour instead of at 9 pm before falling straight into bed.  That has got to be the worst habit I adopted!  I can't wait to feel good again and have more energy, better skin and hair, and better health.


Good luck to you and congratulations!


Yep, same story, same results... cheaters never win. nm

If she wants to choose whether or not a baby results from sex
then she better choose to block that sperm from reaching the egg, because if it does, well then, a baby may very well result from sex. I mean, I understand when it's very, very early, but come on, abortion has really been taken way, way too far, to the point of murder of a full-fledged baby, and some people think, hey, that's okay, it's the mother's decision.
Can you get a copy of the lab results? A search is..sm
showing that quite a few bugs can cause those rare infections including E. coli 0157:H7, the Listeria family (listeriosis), Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella typhimunium, and the funguses from the mycoses family, but you said this was a bacteria, just to name a few. And there's always MRSA and MRSE, too. Ask the doc for a definitive diagnosis so you can be more informed, and my prayers are with you and your family. nm
Results came back positive...I have breast CA.
Will correspond with you via e-mail.
don't believe they were the bottom 3, Ryan said results in NO ORDER. (nm)

I hope you get better results from your school district
Good luck with your situation. Why some people are allowed to teach is beyond me. My best friend's son is what they call an "inclusion" child in his classroom. His aide who he works with every day was accused and it was "found" that she grabbed him by the arm and twisted it after he raised his hand to tell he had had just lost a tooth, and she's still teaching there in the same classroom. Nothing at all was done and she took it all the way to the school board. All they told her was she was dealt with appropriately.
Results show is Thursday night.

American Idol results- were you satisfied?
Last night was really no big surprise but I think kind of boring. I just did not particularly care for the group but I was glad to see that next week we have more contestants. I don’t care for the way they are picking their 3 each time, not at all. It just seems like ones that are really good do not have a chance this way whereas in years past seems like just anyone could have made it. How do others feel about this, do you like the 3 each winners this year? I heard them also say the judges would make the decision about possibly bringing back some they liked? Well, I guess Norman or Normal or whatever his name was (I"m not leaving guy) probably will just have to pack his bags according to Simon.
Depends if it is long with pregnant pause um no. If it is long and juicy like an op YEP! Short ones

I had it during my pregnancy a long, long time ago. Husband

How long?
Crap, havent heard- 1 hour this week or 2 like last week? Thanks
as long as a dog
is in its carrying bag, he is in his space, not yours.  Some dogs are sooo tiny, it is not even noticeable.  I know of people who use doggie strollers for such places. Frankly, I am leery of people who have this kind of attitude. 
I don't know what took me so long.
You can actucally understand the words and there is a definite meaning to the song. Although, when I put country on my hubby and kids say "my ears are bleeding". Oh well, I work for an ENT, I can help them out. LOL
Wonder how long this goes on. nm
:
In the long run they say it's the same or
possibly cheaper to sod. But yes, the initial cost is a little scary compared to the first treatment with seed. But seeding can be never-ending, especially if you don't water enough. We should have done this in the fall, but that's when our dog was so ill.
But not for long

The poster below really gave some good advice.  The behavior she describes is "him" to a T.  I actually had almost forgotten about him until the Lacy Peterson story came out.  Scott Peterson looked so much like him it creeped me out. Good luck.


Thank you so much - it's gone on so long (sm)
What are the traits of a passive-aggressive person?
I do believe my weight is a symptom of my marriage. It all started right from the beginning - I was fairly attractive back then and got asked out by men all the time. Yet right after I got married, there was this weekly lunch with his coworkers where all the guys and their wives/girlfriends met for lunch - he told me that I could not go because, "I'm not exactly proud of you." I don't know why I stayed at that point - there were no children involved yet - but I just felt like I had to try to make it work.
how long has it been
that she has cancer?  She is probably trying to give you comfort as you give her.  She is a sweetie. 
so, how long did it take and
does he have to continue the medication to keep away the urge?
I went through this myself not too long ago -sm
Definitely keep up the salt water gargles.  I used warm water with mine.  Something that gave me nearly instant relief was Chloraseptic Spray.  Hope you feel better soon!! 
How long does it normally take to get
labs processed?  Dr's office took lots of blood this morning to check everything, glucose, lipids, etc and said she'd call as soon as the results come in.  What's a "reasonable" amount of time to wait?
How long have you had the cat?
xx
this is long
I went through this with my son, who is now 24 and drug free. Take your daughter to therapy, and anything else you feel necessary, if for no other reason than to assure yourself you have done everything you can. Try getting together with the parents of some of her "friends," (she doesn't have to know you do) and just try to keep one step ahead of her. I used to look around my son's room to see what I could find, any pot - I threw it away. You just have to keep telling her, you are not the enemy, you are on her side. It is very hard to go through, I know, but they do come out the other end and you have your child back.
How long has this been going on?
How long has your mother had this type of behavior. It sounds like these symptoms; inappropriate behavior, saying things without thinking about them first, might be a signal she has some sort of neurologic problem or the onset of a form of dementia going on. You might notice if your mother has been forgetting things lately, seems detached. If this is not her regular personality, and this is something new for her, then I would gently talk with her and ask her if she is worried, under pressure, or sees anything wrong with how she acts. She might have to see her doctor. My mother exhibited these signs and symptoms around age 60, and then later was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, if her memory is good, she is coping with daily life and is able to handle things on her own, she needs a wakeup call. Her behavior in front of your daughter is inappropriate.
ALL OF THE ABOVE...sry a bit long lol
My children and I have been "cleaning toys" if you will and weeding out clothes to give away on freecycle. We put 3 bags of toys and 1 bag of clothes out there and they went to a very deserving grandma and grandpa who just took in their 4 & 6 year old grandsons. I am trying to teach my boys that it is not all about the gifts you receive, they are 3 & 9 so it is a bit hard to do with all the commercials and my 3yo wanting every last thing he sees. I let them decorate the tree after I put the lights on and they have a blast. We celebrate the birth of Jesus and attend church. First on Christmas morning we discuss the meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus and they enjoy going through our boooks we have about that as well.
I think so.....but it was so long ago- nm

as long as they get it right
I've seen people point to the general area, or to the labia, & call that the vagina. It's almost worse than calling it a peepee or a muffmuff or a kitty.
How long ago was that and
how old were you then?
For someone who is on her feet all day long
how about a gift cert for a pedicure. She would get a foot massage, pedicure, and a back massage if they have those magic finger chairs.
As long as you have an income
As long as you have an income you file.  Over 70 is for social security where you can earn as much as you want and still collect your full SS.  Boy is that was true all of the rich would be lying about their ages so that they did not have to pay taxes.
wow, what a mess to go through for so long!
The reason for having to file CS orders against both is that my GD gets a small welfare check each month, Medicaid coverage and WIC (for now and free school lunches later). All CS attempts/costs are handled by the state agency, not a private attorney. They now have an interstate agreement that is supposed to be more efficient, but hey, that is their ball of wax. Any money they collect goes to the state first to repay the aid my GD gets, along with all the associated collection fees...so I really am not holding my breath (might pass out! lol) on EVER seeing any money. Neither of them can ever have custody of the child again due to the laws in my state, so what I have is the next best thing to adoption, plus GD gets the aid. So, I'll let the state do their thing - they are rated very high on the list of collecting CS as compared to other states - and now that I'm done with court appearances, I will just raise my little one and let those that need to worry do it for me :)

Thanks for your support and advice!
If you have been seeing the same stylist for a long
time, then I don't think he/she should put this new charge on you.  I would tell him/her that you are not too happy with the price increase since you have been a loyal customer and let her know that in all honesty your hair is short and does not require the cumbersome task of drying long locks.  Ask him/her to recommend a new stylist that does not charge as much at another salon or even within that salon itself.  I'm sure you could work something out.  In our area, the stylist rents the chair, so the increase is put forth by the stylist and is not a salon-wide increase, but there are salons where the stylist charges more because they have gone to school and are really "up on things", new trends, etc.  Another thing to consider if the price has to be is to not go as often.  After you've paid your $60.00, explain to the scheduler that you will have to wait an extra 2-3 weeks before you come back for another cut. 
no sympathy, as long as they are
rightly convicted. I myself have been molested as a child, not severely, not even long-term, but it has had a PROFOUND effect upon my mental/emotional/sexual being. It took flashbacks after almost 30 years to piece it all together and understand the impact upon my life. and NO, i don't think they 'rehabilitate'. I think life in prison is the minimal most of these offenders should do. Death would be better for the more persistent and violent offenders.
How Long Have You Been Married?

My hubby did that after we were married about a year or so.  He just liked my stuff, i.e., lotions, body wash, etc...He was my Ken doll; I would "dress him up," fix his unruly, naturally curly hair, buy his shaving cream and cologne, etc...Since we would shower together, he would wash with what I washed with (usually Sun-Ripened Raspberry!) and if I took a shower before him, he would yell and ask where my body wash was.  Before we got together, he washed his body with shampoo instead of soap/body wash.  Men like to do that for some reason.


However, since that started soon after being married, I didn't think it was worrisome; just cute. 


I, personally, wouldn't worry, but I don't know your husband.


She will be tossed before too long, maybe
next week. She is really horrible and she has this ain't I cute, humm, sorta like this person who left tonight, see I have forgotten her name already. Her voice, I agree, is the pits. Melinda is gonna be hard to beat. Lakisha better step it up. Love both of them, huge, powerful voices.
Lets see if this is as long as I think it is - sm
3rd grade - Eddie Milton (my first crush)

9th grade - Bryan Rowden ( 9 months)

10th grade - Bill Rossiter (3 months)-- 2 years old and had a car-- parents did not like that!

11th grade - Dan Machonis (my first time in "love" - 3 months)

Dan Nichols (6 months)

12th grade I played the field a bit - Brad Feldman - 2 weeks; Pat Hurley 1-week; Mike Pastore (my 2nd "love")- 2.5 months (found out he had a kid and couldn't deal with me and the other girl--first time I was not upset about break up though as he took the girl to court and got full custody of his 9-month old daughter and took care of her after that, I admired him for doing that.

After graduation -
Bill Schatzman 2.5 months (summer before college)
Denis Sweeney - 2 years (first and second year of college)

Took a break from guys the rest of college-2 years-and concentrated on grades.

After college:
Bill ___ (forget) (2 months)
Chris Nicholson (3 months)
Ed Harvey - 5 years
Jerry Nicolini - 2 years

then Jim, my DH now of 11 years.
--- what is weird is in my HS years I broke up with most of the guys, but after that just about every guy I went out with cheated and hence the break-up. Oh well.
As long as the dog is controlled..
As long as the dog is controlled and not getting hair in my food, I don't care.  We love going to Petsmart with our dog but she's a lab and I wouldn't ever take her into other stores where she isn't allowed.
