Nothing? All day? C'mon, Chalice is back. There should be a ticker-tape parade...someone should say "hi, welcome back" or "happy new year"...sniper fire, maybe?...at least someone break wind.
It is the least we can do. :)
Welcome back, Chalice. Good, bad, or ugly, it's good to see ya! :happy:
Can I have some of that pepto bismol in your avatar?
BTW, how long before the twins are due now?
Somewhere between 2 and 3 months. Hopefully it will be closer to 3, but we will take what we get. We have pretty much decided on cesarean.
I take it you are not feeling well, Skweeky?
Oh just the usual heartburn.. it's ok though, I managed to get some extra strong mints to keep it at bay.
My wife has trouble with heartburn too. We got her some Pepcid AC (it was on a Dr. approved list) that she takes about 15 minutes before meals and it helps her a lot. She says they taste pretty good too.
When she forgets, or just gets hit with heartburn, she takes Mylanta. That is kinda hit and miss, but does give her some short-term comfort.
One of my local friends has suggested (and he swears it works for him) is to take a "shot" (I am not sure how diluted it is) of vinegar for his acid reflux. He reasons (and maybe he heard it elsewhere) that the body is producing acid because it "is being told" to produce more in the system. Once the vinegar hits, the system thinks that there is no more reason to produce acid. He swears by it and has a pretty regular problem with it. IDK...
Honestly, I would recommend the Pepcid AC. It might be worth finding some collaborating info on the vinegar, but I have not won my wife over with it and have not had bad enough heartburn to try it myself... :)
Regardless, I hope you feel better. My wife gets pretty miserable looking when she has problems with it.
I just use milk of magnesia, it pretty much gives me instant relief, and you can just buy it over the counter.
If it gets really bad, I take some of my hubbie's anti-acid pills. He's had problems with acid reflux for years and gets these prescribed by his doctor. They are the same ones they give to pregnant women with severe heartburn.
I had just forgotten to bring my stuff in to work yesterday, bad move :s
My wife forgets to take her stuff before meals and then suffers for it. She has a lot on her mind right now. However, we are getting closer. :happy:
Yes, surprisingly, those little annoying ailments disappear the minute you have the baby (in your wife case; babies :D ).
Thank you.Quote:

Haven't you cunts achieved enlightenment as to this forum being all about ME ME ME?
Take your toddlers, double-foetuses, your sickeningly merry hopes for the future and deposit them as far within your colons as you can possibly muster.
Happy new year, btw. :smilie4:
I seem to be surrounded by people with a deep resentment and disappointment for this world.
Hmmmm.
