Problem: Article: Laparoscopy is the least invasive form of surgery to remove ovarian cysts, with the quickest recovery time. In a laparoscopy, the surgeon makes tiny cuts in your lower abdomen and inflates your pelvis with carbon dioxide gas to make the ovaries easier to reach. They then insert a tiny microscope camera and light into your abdomen in order to see the cyst, and remove the cyst through the small incisions. Laparoscopy is typically done under full general anesthesia. The recovery time for laparoscopy is relatively short. Most people can go home the same day. You may experience abdominal pain for 1-2 days after the surgery. Some people have neck and shoulder pain for several days after the surgery. This will go away as the carbon dioxide is absorbed by your body. If your cyst is extremely severe, or if there is any concern that it might be cancerous, your doctor may recommend a more invasive surgery called a laparotomy. For this surgery, the surgeon will make a single large incision in order to access the cyst and ovary directly. In some cases, they may need to remove the entire ovary. A laparotomy is performed under general anesthesia. You might need to stay in the hospital for a few days after a laparotomy. It may take 4-8 weeks for you to recover fully. If your cyst or ovary test positive for cancer, more surgery may be needed to remove any additional cancerous tissue. Before your surgery, your doctor will give you a full physical exam and take your medical history. They will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for the operation. These instructions are meant to protect you from potentially harmful or fatal complications, so do not ignore them. Your doctor may ask you to: Stop taking any medications that might cause bleeding problems, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or warfarin. Quit drinking alcohol or smoking in the weeks leading up to the surgery. Stop eating or drinking any food or water a certain number of hours before the surgery. Let the surgeon know if you develop any signs of illness in the days before the surgery, such as cold or flu symptoms or a fever. Your doctor will also provide you with detailed post-op instructions. Depending on the type of surgery, you may need to take it easy for a few days to a few weeks before returning to your normal activities. Your doctor will prescribe medications to help manage the pain after the surgery. Always consult your doctor before taking any other medications during your recovery. Do not lift anything weighing over 10 pounds (4.5 kg) for at least 3 weeks after your surgery. Ask your doctor when it is safe to have sex again after your surgery. Some people experience problems while recovering from an ovarian cyst surgery. Contact your doctor or go to the emergency room if you have any of the following symptoms: A high or persistent fever. Nausea or vomiting. Heavy bleeding. Swelling or pain in your pelvis or abdomen. Dark or bad-smelling discharge from your vagina.
Summary: Ask your doctor about a laparoscopy. Look into a laparotomy for larger cysts or possible cancer. Follow your doctor's pre-operation instructions carefully. Take care of yourself after the surgery. Get medical help if you have any complications after surgery.

Problem: Article: Four Suit Spider Solitaire is intense, but it's the exact same in format and play. Use the same amount of cards, use the same set-up, and use the same basic rules for winning. This time, you're seeing the suits for what they are. Diamonds are diamonds, spades are spades, etc. Just like in the two-suit version, they must be played together. In order to get King-to-Ace sequences cleared off the table, they must all be of the same suit. You can make any numerical sequences you'd like (6-7-8-9, etc.), but they can only be moved within their suit. A six of hearts on a 7 of spades on an 8 of diamonds is going nowhere. However, a six of hearts on a 7 of hearts on an 8 of diamonds? The 6 and 7 can be moved. See how this gets virtually impossible? When you're moving the cards around, you're going to have to know which allowances to make and which moves to avoid. In general, you want to open piles and rows -- if the move doesn't do that, you may be best off skipping it. The four-suit version is really the only version where it's strategy over all (not ignoring luck). To make your sequences and clear them off the board (which is how you win the game), you gotta be very careful. Go for higher ranked cards first. In other words, move the Jack onto the Queen before you move the 10 onto the Jack. If you move a 10 onto a Jack that's a different suit, you're virtually killing it. Move Kings to open columns as soon as you can. Get cards off of columns that are almost empty. The sooner you get empty columns, the sooner you can get your Kings off the column and off the table. Though it should go without saying, try your best to keep sequences within a suit. As the game progresses, you'll be glad you did.
Summary: Deal out the cards in the same manner. Recognize all the suits. Move them in uniform clusters. Utilize strategy.

Problem: Article: If you have a chair that is the right size to stretch the elastic, that will work perfectly. If you don't have a chair that's the right size, you can try using the side of a small table, an empty drawer, or an empty poster frame. If you can, line up the sides with the side of the chair. This will help stretch the elastic evenly. Let your elastic sit, being stretched, for 24 hours. If the desired size still isn't reached, put the elastic back in the stretched position and leave it for several days. Leave it in a warm place to help the elastic band stretch.
Summary:
Find a chair. Stretch your elastic clothing over your chair. Let it sit.
