Family history solving the puzzle

Families are fantastic the best thing in the world. We pass on the fantastic knowledge of everything we know to our children. The best and the worst things come from our parents. Remember I bought you into this world I can take you out! Children should be seen and not heard. Remember going to the folks friends places and you had to say no and sit still...things have changed, generation gap is a hoot isn't it!
Learn your history that's health and illness, this will assist you and your family. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes all track back from somewhere, the first thing the doctor asks you is it in the family????
My family history is important to my children. So now I am on this weird ride/ I am 52 and 53 next birthday. Wow where did that go. Mum passed away at 53 if I live to 54 and I will be the oldest first born child to do so. On my mothers side, her fathers side my grandfather. . Dads side are amazing Nan mad a big 100 years and 3 weeks. Non medicated and still there most days. Wow
So there is some celebrations coming I am going to crack that bad egg and bury it!!!! Bad genes suck

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Mastectomy Drain Breast Cancer Treatment

The  purpose of drains after mastectomy  is to drain away the fluid that can gather in the armpit region or around the scar on the chest wall. Some people after mastectomy also find that fluid gathers around the shoulder blade area on their back - this seems more common if the muscle from the back has been used for  breast reconstruction  at the time the mastectomy was done. When mastectomy is done - and especially if the lymph nodes are removed from the axilla or armpit - then there is a lot of tissue fluid and lymph fluid left with no where to go. This fluid normally flows through the lymph channels but if they are cut then it can escape into the normal skin and muscle tissues. Your surgeon will place drains under your skin after mastectomy. These drains gather up the fluid and remove it to a bottle (or bottles) that you carry around with you. Some people use a  belt clip to attach the drain  to their waistband - making them more mobile. Others car...
