If you want to get someone back quickly, your first task is getting them to talk to you again. That can sometimes be the toughest part. You want to be sincere and swift, without trying to come off as desperate or needy. If you were dumped, give your partner at least 24 hours to cool down before you go back. They need some time to cool down. If you did the dumping, get in touch as quickly as possible to let your partner know how you messed up. Call them now and apologize. If you send a text message, make it short and keep it simple. A short "thinking of you" is better than a paragraph expressing your deep, passionate love. Only do this once or twice a day, at the most. Be careful about just showing up at someone's door. This isn't usually advisable, and can come off as stalking behavior. If you're not welcome, don't just show up at an ex's door. Tell your ex that you messed up. Say that you know what went wrong in the relationship, specifically focusing on your role. It's not the time to call out your partner or try to be blunt about the challenges you face. If you want them back fast, just say it: "I was wrong, and I'm sorry". If your ex messed up, let them know you forgive them. Be willing to work it out. Be genuine and be honest. If you're not actually sorry, why are you trying to get your ex back anyway? Make sure you're not wasting your time. Knowing where you went wrong isn't enough. Let your ex see you take the first steps toward a positive change. Start taking those steps, now. Be willing to commit. Some serious problems may not have easy solution. Instead of focusing on these issues, show that you can change by working on the things that can be fixed immediately. If you were a heavy smoker and your ex hated it, try to quit. Let your ex witness the attempt. Show them that you've already changed. Explain to your ex how much better your life is when it involves them. Describe how much you love your ex. Be open and honest, without straying into fake flattery. Tell your partner how the relationship changed you for the better. Tell them about the things your relationship taught you and the faults your relationship had started to correct. Don't get desperate. Telling your ex that you can't live without her or that no other man will ever compare to him is too dramatic. It'll sound fake. Remind your ex of the positives in your relationship. You can't ignore the problems you had, but try to rekindle the good memories. Discuss the things about your relationship that did work. What was strong about the relationship? What was deserving of attention? Kindhearted gestures are a good idea. You want your ex to see your thoughtful side. It's a simple way to show how much you care and how serious you are about getting back together. Send flowers, candy, or cook a favorite meal. Write a love letter. Put pen to paper and write out your feelings in the most honest way possible. An old-fashioned love letter is much more personal than a text or e-mail. Throughout the entire process, you need to put your ex's needs and desires above your own. Be sincere. Make time for your ex. Let your partner know that continuing your relationship is a high priority on your list of things to do. Listen when your ex speaks. Be excited for your ex when he or she tells you about something great that happened. Let your ex talk without interrupting or changing the topic.

Summary: Get in touch. Admit your mistake(s). Show your ability to change. Explain how important your partner is to you. Focus on good memories. Do something romantic. Put your ex's needs first.

Depending on whether you have the Diaper Genie or the Diaper Genie Elite, you'll do this in one of two ways. To open the Diaper Genie, lift the lid from the top. To open the Elite, use your foot to press the pedal at the bottom of the Genie. If you smell an odor coming from your Diaper Genie, without the Genie being opened, it's time for a clean out. Try to clean your Diaper Genie whenever you change the bag. Wash your Diaper Genie out with soapy water. Wipe it down with a bleach-based cleaner, then allow it to dry in the sun. Push the diaper through the Diaper Genie's clamp until it disappears from sight. You'll want to make sure that the clamp shuts completely; otherwise you run the risk of odors and leaks. To fit the maximum number of diapers inside your Genie, roll the diapers tightly. To prevent the contents of the diaper from spilling out during transit, secure the diaper using the diaper's adhesive tabs. If you have the Diaper Genie Elite, remove your foot from the pedal to shut the can. If you have the original Genie, shut the lid manually. If you are unable to close the Diaper Genie, this means it is too full and it's time to refill the cartridge. If your Diaper Genie is not full and it's still not closing, there may be a diaper obstruction you can't see. Check to make sure pieces of diaper are not stuck in your Diaper Genie lid. If you are still unable to close your Diaper Genie lid, the spring-loaded mechanism may have failed. Call Playtex Customer Service to report your issue.

Summary: Open your Diaper Genie. Dispose of the diaper. Close your Diaper Genie.

You can learn exercises to improve the strength and flexibility in your injured foot and help prevent further injury. Start with a few minutes of light exercise, such as walking or riding a stationary bike. This will loosen your muscles and get blood flowing. Stretching exercises are a key step to restoring flexibility and range of motion. Following your doctor or therapist's recommended exercises, stretch the muscles and tendons in the injured foot. If you feel any pain during stretching, consult your doctor. A good example of a stretch is the towel stretch. Sitting on the floor with one leg straightened, loop a towel around the ball of your foot. Hold on to the ends of the towel and pull the top of your foot towards you. You should feel the stretch in your calf and down into the heel. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, and then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the exercise 3 times. When done properly, strength exercises should help return the strength and endurance required for everyday activities to the injured foot. If you experience any pain during these exercises, consult your physical therapist or doctor. An example of a strength exercise is the marble pickup. Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the ground and put 20 marbles on the ground in front of you. Place a bowl near the marbles. Pick up the marbles one by one with your injured foot and place them into the bowl. You should feel the exercise on the top of your foot. It is important to keep up with your physical therapy to help you return to daily activities and reduce your chances of re-injury.
Summary: Go to physical therapy after the cast is removed, as advised by your doctor. Warm up at the beginning of each session. Stretch. Perform the appropriate strengthening exercises. Regularly perform the prescribed exercises.
