Article: Depending on the kind of foot surgery you underwent, your restrictions may be extreme or they may be relatively mild.  Your doctor has a vested interest in seeing you get better, so adhere to the limitations he or she sets. The doctor may assign you specific tasks to aid in the healing of the surgery such as icing, elevating, or specific ways to clean the surgery site. Call your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about the instructions he or she provided. The doctor will prescribe you medication to help you manage the pain you’ll experience after your foot surgery.  Non-Opioid/non-narcotic pain relievers are often prescribed for small to medium levels of pain and are the safest form of prescription pain management.  Common examples are ibuprofen, naproxen, and acetaminophen. Opioid pain relievers are prescribed for medium to severe pain.  Follow the doctor’s instructions specifically when taking opioids as they can be extremely addictive.  Examples of opioid painkillers include oxycodone and hydrocodone. It’s normal for the surgery site or even your entire foot to swell in the days following your surgery, but there are things that you can do to reduce the swelling.  Use an ice pack or bag of ice to reduce inflammation.  Be sure to place a towel between your foot and the ice and to check the skin under the ice regularly.  Do not leave the ice in place for longer than ten minutes at a time.  Do not place ice directly on top of the wound until it is completely healed. Elevate your foot to combat swelling.  Try to keep it about six inches higher than your heart. It’s important that you keep the area around the surgical incision clean, dry and protected.  Do not remove the bandages until the doctor has given you permission to do so. Keep the bandages dry.  You may want to wrap your foot in plastic to shower or take a bath with your foot out of the water. Ask your surgeon or podiatrist when it will be okay for you to wash the surgical site. Do not put any creams, lotions or anything else on the wound unless as directed to do so by the doctor. It is not uncommon for patients to deal with constipation or other issues using the rest room for a few days after surgery.  Make sure to stay hydrated to help your body stay regular. Eat high fiber foods to combat the constipation effect opioid pain killers have. Discuss the issue with your doctor if it continues for more than two days.

Article: Before you apply aloe to your pimple, or pimples, it’s important to clean your face. Regardless of what kind of skin you have, washing your face will remove any makeup, dirt, or dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, which will help to prevent or reduce breakouts. If you have a favorite face wash, stick with that. Otherwise, head to your local pharmacy and find a face wash for acne-prone skin. Scrub the face wash into your skin with your fingertips, using circular motions. Hot water can be too harsh and drying to your skin, so keep the water a comfortable lukewarm temperature. After you’ve scrubbed every inch of your face, particularly your most acne-prone areas, rinse your face thoroughly. Towels are often covered in bacteria, which is exactly what you don’t want on your freshly cleaned face. Try to let the excess water drip into the sink, and then let your damp face air-dry. It takes longer, but sensitive skin that’s vulnerable to acne breakouts will thank you. If you’re crunched for time and air drying is just really not an option, pat your face dry with a clean towel. Rubbing your face with a towel can irritate your skin, so patting is the proper technique.

Article: Bridge is a four-player game played in teams of two players each, so your significant other and another couple are a good potential choice. Teams sit across from each other around a square table. For purposes of notation, each side of the table is given the name of a cardinal direction. Thus, the players in a bridge game are commonly referred to as North, South, East, and West. North and South play on a team against East and West. Bridge is played with a standard 52-card deck in deals of 13 cards per player, so that the entire deck is dealt out each hand. After the deck is dealt, players make bids. The final bid determines the importance of each suit as well as the overall goal for each deal. Deals are then played card-by-card in 13 sub-rounds known as “tricks.” The goal of the game is to win 7 or more tricks on each deal in order to score points. Deals continue until one team accumulates a predetermined number of points.  Scoring systems vary from style to style and group to group. Players typically take turns in a clockwise fashion. This means that actions alternate evenly between the two teams.
