Been feeling all melancholy & weepy today, seemingly for no reason at all, also can't seem to hold any body heat. Finaly checked the calendar and
"Yep" in four days I'm due, with how I'm feeling probably it will happen in 2 or 3 days. Anyone got a pick-me-up, mood booster idea that I
can try?

I usually sob my eyes out until I'm dry ... then I feel better.

But doing something physical like bike riding, hiking, etc. Something that gets me sweating and pushes the stress away always works for me. |

Going to do housework tomorrow, but still have to be a litle careful since the abcess in my belly button. It's healing, but apparently it can take a couple
months to completely heal, & with the weight gain etc. with my period it's irritating it some. Everyone has gone to bed for the night, going to watch
the old Peter Sellers Pink Panther movies and cry my brains out if I feel like it, LOL! My new kitten, Baba is hanging close by, will probably use her for
kleenex

Belly buttons take forever to heal. Can you soak it in saline? It helped speed up the healing of my piercing ...

When the belly button thing first started, I used peroxide, thought it would bubble the crap up and out, but the Dr. got me to switch to an epsom salt
solution. Howie(my doctor), said that for surface skin problems peroxide was fine, but in a contained area like down inside the belly button it could actually
make it worse. I make a solution and use one of those syringe thingy's that you use to give babies medicine to squirt it in, then let it sit for a couple
minutes before cleaning it out. Sofar so good, all is well, but when I do too much running up and down the stairs, and bending while I'm vaccuuming &
stuff, it can irritate it. Was talking to someone who had the same thing happen but worse than mine, they said it took forever to heal.

When we did piercings at the shop we used to recommend people use saline only. Saline is amazing.

Fingers crossed you heal up quickly. |

... Because to recommend anything else is outdated information and bad advice!
Peroxide kills all your bacteria, the bad and the good -- which can inhibit your body's ability to heal things, or like in your case, can cause things to freak the @£$% out. Again, this is only piercing-related, but when people come to work with piercings they've been treating with peroxide, they're almost always red and dry and ANGRY. Saline is your friend, for sure. When mixed properly (1 cup of distilled water + 1/4 tsp of non-iodized sea salt, I believe?), it has the same-ish pH level as adult skin -- so after using it, your body's still only focusing on healing the wound, not dealing with a mystery substance as well. For convenience and accuracy, Blairex Wound Wash saline, which you can buy in most Canadian drug store chains, does the trick. Navel wounds suck. As you seem to have noticed, unless you can remain absolutely stationary for a few weeks, you're looking at an annoyingly long healing period. Things that might be slowing you down, however: your soap; restrictive clothing; sleeping on your stomach; bath tubs, hot tubs, swimming pools; hormones/stress; weather changes. Good luck! 'Kinda makes you wonder why half the teenage, female population is running around with a navel piercing (or two or three), hey? |

My brother's a nurse and he said that they don't use hydrogen peroxide anymore, either. Interestingly, at the vet yesterday, she used it to clean
Bunny's paw. I imagine they continue to use it on animals because it's easier---doesn't hurt and make the animal more uncooperative??
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
