Avoid exerting yourself after your surgery. Rest for 3 to 5 days with a laparoscopic surgery. For an open appendectomy, you'll need to wait 10 to 14 days. You won't be able to return to normal activities until this time is up, and you may need to avoid strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks. If you're coughing or laughing, place a pillow over your abdomen. Press down lightly to support your appendix. You can also use this technique when you need to move. While antibiotics don't directly affect pain, they help rid your body of infection, which may be causing pain. Take any antibiotics given to you as prescribed by your doctor. Make sure you finish the round. Your doctor will likely give you a prescription for pain medications like morphine, hydromorphone, or oxycodone. If they don't, ask for one. Talk to your doctor about what over-the-counter medications are appropriate, as well, and follow any directions given to you by your doctor. While you'll likely be taking pain medications, taking your mind off the pain can help, as well. With guided imagery, close your eyes, and imagine yourself in some place you love. Fill your head up with that image. Think about what you see, smell, taste, hear, and smell. Focus on each sensation in turn. Similarly, try distracting yourself with things you enjoy, like good music, chatting with friends, or a quiet activity like crocheting.

summary: Rest after your surgery. Use pressure to reduce pain when moving. Take your antibiotics. Use pain medications provided by your doctor. Try guided imagery.

One of the first steps to flirting is to flash her a big, genuine smile. You can even do it across the room. Besides engaging her, it makes you appear like a happier person. It also makes her feel like she's winning something because a smile from someone else registers as a reward in the brain. Starting a conversation with her is really the only way you'll be able to tell if she considers you in her league or not. It's often easy to tell if a smile is genuine. Try to make it reach your eyes. You can also show your teeth. If you want to show someone you like them, you can't be timid about it. Many people have a hard time telling when someone is flirting with them because it is so subtle and because not everyone flirts in the same way. Therefore, to make sure she knows, you have to be confident and use confident body language. Start by looking her in the eyes. Looking down or away from her doesn't show her you're interested. Obviously, you don't want to stare, but try to catch her gaze and hold it for a few seconds. Other confident gestures include standing up straight and not fidgeting. Open body language includes keeping your limbs apart. You don't want to cross them, as that sends a signal that you're not approachable. Crossed arms and legs are like a big "X" over your body telling others to stay away. In addition, try to angle your body so it's pointing in her direction. Doing so signals that you're interested in her. You should also pay attention to how you move your head. Tilting it towards her indicates interest. When you're talking to her, one way you can show you're interested in her as more than a friend is to lean towards her. You don't want to make her uncomfortable, however. If she leans back, take a step back, as that indicates you're invading her personal space in a way she doesn't like. Also, try not to employ this method with a woman you just met if you're alone with her. If there's no one else around, that can seem like you're trying to come on too strong. You can also try touching her arm or her shoulder while you're talking. Doing so can indicate you're interested in her. While fidgeting with your glass or watch isn't seen as confident, playing with your hair can be construed as flirtatious. You may also want to such your stomach in, so your gut isn't sticking out as much. You may find you don't even have to think about doing these things, but employing them is a sign of flirting.

summary: Flash a smile to get her attention. Show your confidence. Keep your body language open. Get closer. Don't be afraid to preen a bit.
