I also feel very full in my stomach as though there is a watermelon in there (This is upper stomach in between ribs not chest) I have appointment to the docs but I am very worried and would appreciate any help as to what it could possibly be Many thanks
Have you ever witnessed someone getting stabbed?
Yes. My mother stabbed my father in the back one Christmas. She had passed out on the sofa and he covered her with a blanket, put a bucket by her head, told my brother and I to be quiet till she felt better. Then he went to pour her remaining vodka down the sink.She somehow got herself to her feet, lurched into the kitchen and snatched the bottle off him. On finding it empty she broke it and started waving it wildly. My Dad pushed my brother and I out of the room and she stabbed him in the back as he turned to check we were okay.Happy Christmas.EDITED TO ADD:In response to the comments and kindness of people who have posted to this answer I’d like to say thank you. Also, my father did survive. This was nearly forty years ago. My mother was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. My father looked after her for the rest of her life, and remained in love with her till the day she died.Sadly, she took her own life. She would have moments of clarity and be appalled by her behaviour. We had thought she was getting better, and she was certainly more herself toward the end. She wasn’t able to forgive herself though, and lived in constant fear that the meds would stop working and she’d become violent and hurtful again. I say this not for sympathy, but to encourage readers to always be alert when caring for those with severe mental health problems - sometimes they are more in danger from themselves when getting better.Anyway. My father was fortunate enough to meet another lovely woman, and remarried. They have been happy together for twenty years now. Thank you all for your concern and sympathy.
Painful sex in doggie style position?
Ok, I'm 42, healthy, and have been sexually active consistently for a year with the same guy. Things are easier than they were when we first started, and sex feels real good in missionary position, but when he gets behind me, I have to scream into my pillow because it hurts so bad! Feels like I'm getting stabbed with a knife. I don't know if something drops down and sticks there because I'm bent over or what. Maybe it's my tailbone pushing my uterus forward. I asked a gyno about it and she said some women just hurt in certain positions, but there's nothing wrong with me except I have a tipped uterus. Actually, even in doggie style it dosen't hurt when he goes slow until he starts going too fast, too deep. Another position that hurts is when I'm on my back and he lifts my legs above his shoulders. Maybe it's the stretching that does it, because when my legs are only partway up, I'm fine. When I'm on my stomach when he's behind me I'm fine. It's just when my butt's in the air it hurts.
