Q: Pick a shirt that you won't mind cutting up. Make sure that it is long enough to cover your hips and upper thighs. Turn it inside out, then spread it out on a flat surface. Choose a tank top that fits you, then set it down on top of the shirt. Make sure that the tank top is centered and that the shoulders align with those on the T-shirt. Trace the sides and straps onto the shirt. Be sure to extend the sides to the hem of the T-shirt.  If you don't have a tank top, you can use a fitted T-shirt instead. You are only tracing the sides and outside of the straps. Don't trace the collar or inside the straps. Tank tops taper towards the bottom. Be sure to continue tapering the lines towards the bottom edge of your T-shirt. Don't draw the sides straight down. Lift the tank top away, then cut 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) outside the lines that you drew. The shirt should still be intact along the shoulders and collar. Pin the sides of the shirt together, then sew them on your sewing machine using a zigzag stitch and a matching thread color. Start just below the armpits and finish at the hem. Backstitch when you start and finish sewing to keep your stitches from coming undone.  If you don't know how to sew, use hot glue or fabric glue instead. Let the glue set before moving on. Remove the pins as you sew or glue the fabric. Fold and pin the raw, cut edges of the armholes down by 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch (0.64 to 1.27 cm). Sew the hems as close as possible to the raw, cut edge using a zigzag stitch and a matching thread color. Remember to backstitch when you start and finish sewing, and to remove the pins as you sew. If you can't sew, use hot glue or fabric glue instead. Let the glue dry before moving on. Go over the seams and hems you just finished sewing. If you see any loose or hanging threads, cut them off with small scissors, as close to the fabric as possible. Skip this step if you used fabric glue. If you used hot glue, look for any whisker-like strands of hot glue, and pull those off. Once you turn your shirt right-side-out, you are technically done. For an added touch, you can cut the collar off. If you hemmed the armholes, you should hem the cut collar too. If you left the armholes raw, then you don't need to hem the cut collar. If you want a fancier collar, you could cut the front into a V-neck or a scoop neck.
A: Choose a large T-shirt and turn it inside out. Trace a tank top onto the shirt, extending the hem to the bottom. Cut out your tracing, leaving a 1⁄2-inch (1.3-cm) seam allowance. Sew up the sides of the shirt using a 1⁄2-inch (1.3-cm) seam allowance. Hem the armholes if you want a nicer finish. Trim off any loose or hanging threads, if needed. Turn the shirt right-side-out, then cut the collar off, if desired.

Q: It's important that you wipe it clean after every use because the chemicals found in your soap may hurt the marble. Use a dry cotton rag or dishcloth to wipe the moisture from the walls and basin of your shower after you use it. Use regular warm water to fill a spray bottle and add a tbsp (14.7 ml) of non-abrasive, pH-neutral, dish soap into the bottle. Select an undyed dish soap that does not contain any abrasives like sand or stone, and that doesn't contain any acids like citrus, lemon, or vinegar.  It will say pH-neutral on the label of your dish soap. Conventional cleaners may contain acids that can damage the surface of your shower.  There are specially made marble cleaners that you can purchase at department stores or online. Popular commercial marble sprays include Black Diamond, Simple Green, and Zep Marble Cleaner. Coat the walls and basin of your shower with the solution and rub the solution in a small circular motion. Continue to work around your shower in small circles, concentrating on any built up mildew or dirt. Use a showerhead or a bucket of water to rinse the entirety of the shower down, including the walls. It's important that you remove any leftover soap or it may sink into the marble and create stains later. Use an absorbent rag or squeegee to dry off your shower completely. You should dry down your shower after every use, but doing a more extensive cleaning with a mild dish soap and water two to three times a week should keep the marble looking clean and fresh.
A: Wipe down your shower after each use. Fill a spray bottle with warm water a tbsp (14.7 ml) of mild dish soap. Spray the solution onto your shower and rub it in with a damp cloth. Rinse the shower. Dry the shower.

Q: As with other retinal surgeries, you will be required to abstain from eating or drinking anything for between two and eight hours before the procedure. You may also be instructed to use eye drops to dilate the pupils before surgery. In a vitrectomy, your doctor will remove the vitreous fluid from inside the eyeball, and will remove any tissue that may be preventing the retina from healing. Your doctor will then fill the eye with air, gas, or liquid to replace the vitreous, allowing the retina to reattach and heal.  This procedure is the most commonly-performed type of retinal surgery.  Over time, the substance (air, gas, or liquid) your doctor injected is absorbed by the eye, and your body will produce fluid that will fill the vitreous cavity. If your doctor used silicone oil, however, he will need to surgically remove the oil after several months have passed and the eye has healed. After a vitrectomy, your doctor will send you home with specific care instructions for your eye to help ensure a full recovery. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully, and ask him if you're uncertain of what to do. Your doctor may instruct you to:  Take a pain reliever, like acetaminophen  Use prescription-strength eye drops or ointments After a vitrectomy, most patients are instructed to keep the head stable in a specific position. This is known as "posturing," and it is vital to allow the bubble to settle into the correct position. It can also be helpful in maintaining the eye's shape after surgery.  Follow your doctor's instructions on posturing to allow the retina to heal.  Do not travel by airplane until the gas bubble is fully absorbed. Your doctor will tell you when it is safe to fly again.  Having gas bubbles in the eye may cause complications in other surgeries. Let your doctor know about the gas bubbles before any subsequent surgeries, and before being administered general anesthetic, especially nitrous oxide. Your doctor may give you an eye box to help your eye heal. He will instruct you on how to use the eye box, and will let you know how long to continue using it.  Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any eye equipment.  Soak cotton balls in the prescribed eyewash solution.  Loosen any crust that may have formed on your eye, then wipe gently from the inside of your eye across to the outside. If you are treating both eyes, use separate cotton balls for each eye. Your doctor may give you an eye patch and an eye shield to help your eye heal. These tools will help you protect your eye while sleeping and whenever you are outdoors.  Wear the eye shield for at least a week, or for as long as your doctor instructs you to continue use.  The eyepatch will help protect your eye from bright lights, like the sun, and will help prevent dirt and debris from entering your healing eye.
A:
Prepare for surgery. Have a vitrectomy. Recover from surgery. Stay in position. Use an eye box. Wear a shield and patch.
