Problem: Article: During those daily discussions, you shouldn't just talk and tune out. When your partner is talking, really listen. Get to know them again. Listen to their worries, concerns, frustrations, and joys. Building intimacy means sharing thoughts with each other and caring about what your spouse says and thinks. Be an active listener by restating what your spouse says or summarizing what they've told you. You may say, "So, you're saying that..." or "Let me see if I understand this correctly..." Prompt your spouse to continue by using short, one-word responses. For example, you may make noises of understanding or encourage, or ask questions like, "How?" or "Oh?" or "And then what happened?" Address their feelings by saying things like, "It seems like you're feeling upset/scared/anxious/depressed/happy" or "I am glad you trusted me enough to share this with me." Maintain eye contact while your spouse talks. Don't think about other things, like what you need to do or what you want for dinner. Keep your attention focused on your spouse. While sharing pieces of your day and talking about random things helps increase intimacy, it is also important to discuss more important things. This may include deeper questions on a personal or philosophical level. These questions get deeper into the way your spouse thinks and why they think that way. For example, you may ask your partner why they love travel so much, why they need to do something a certain way, or where they learned a habit from. Ask them about how their background and childhood has influenced the way they view the world. Talk to your partner about their goals and dreams. You may have done this when you first got married, but what people want changes over the years. Talk about why you both want from life based on where you are right now. You may say, "When we first got together, you loved to travel. Where would you like to go? Why do you want to go there? I'm interested in knowing this about you." You may also try, "You've always been very punctual and insistent about not being late. Why is this so important to you? Have you always been like this?" Ask your spouse, "Did your childhood influence your political/religious/moral beliefs?" or "What are your goals and dreams? We haven't discussed them in a long time, and I really want to know what is important to you now." If you and your partner are struggling to build intimacy despite working on it, you may want to see a marriage counselor. They can help you learn communication skills and work through issues that may be impeding your progress. A marriage counselor can provide you with couples exercises that will help you work on emotional and physical intimacy. This can help if you aren't sure where to start building intimacy or if one of you disagrees that there are intimacy problems.
Summary: Listen to your spouse. Talk about important things. Seek counseling.

Problem: Article: Some plastic surgery procedures only take days to recover from (the more minor ones), while others take weeks or even months. It is important to speak to your plastic surgeon prior to the procedure to know what to expect in terms of your recovery. It will likely impact many other spheres of your life, such as your work life and ability to go out with friends, so it is important to be able to plan for this. It is key that you follow the specific instructions for recovery, which may include any of the following: Medication use to control the pain and swelling, and to promote healing. Icing the affected area as needed. Elevating the affected area as needed, to diminish swelling. Avoiding direct exposure to sunlight during the healing period. Effective use of "drains" (tubes), which are sometimes inserted to help drain excess fluid in the initial healing phases, such as after cosmetic surgery to the breasts. Follow your doctor's directions for how to use the drain effectively, which should include how often to empty the drain, and if the fluid coming out should be measured. Attending follow-up appointments in a timely fashion. In order to ensure optimum wound healing, and to make sure there are no complications or infections developing, it is important for your doctor to check on things and to receive his or her professional opinion. That way, if there are any issues with healing, they can be dealt with and resolved so that they do not become a problem later. It is key to let your doctor know any regular medications or supplements that you generally take. Some medications, like blood thinners or aspirin, can be detrimental to healing and actually increase bleeding and swelling. There are also some natural remedies and supplements that can be concerning. As long as you disclose everything you are taking to your doctor, she can evaluate the safety of your medication regimen and make sure that nothing conflicts with wound healing or worsens bleeding. The doctor will tell you what medications need to be stopped prior to the surgery, when they should be stopped, and when to restart. Also, other medications may need to be continued straight through the surgery. For instance, do not try to get back to your usual routine or be too active too soon following plastic surgery. Over-exerting yourself can lead to complications and slow down the healing process. Do not exercise until your doctor tells you it is okay to get back to your normal level of physical activity. Exercising too soon can prolong healing by causing swelling or bleeding, or an incision to break down. When learning how to heal after plastic surgery, do not get upset if you are bruised or swollen for a week or longer following your procedure. Plastic surgery healing times vary for each procedure and each patient.
Summary: Know what to expect in terms of recovery. Adhere to your plastic surgeon's recovery plan. Consult your doctor about medication use. Be cautious and allow your body time to recover.
