Rainy, I have had both slow cookers and crock pots...there really is no

difference.....BUT......I will say this ...I prefer the type where the inside

liner (crockery pot)is removable for easier cleaning....and you can go from

frig to heating element for storing ......BTW I use mine at least once a

week.....I had one that the whole pot sat on a griddle like surface (you

could actually use this surface as a griddle....which I never did)and gave

that one to my dtr .....and recently bought me a new removable crock

one.........when my son shows up here on Fri nights for weekend I usually

make him a stew or soup that day....he loves it as he knows he is home then.

My Dear ,

For the life of me, I think my brain is on permanent vacation! I could have

looked that up myself. Ya know what, it didn't even occur to me to do so!

btw, in my message on asking what the diff is. It started out with

" Glacier. " I have to tell you, I didn't put that there. I don't know why,

but sometimes my Outlook adds that. It's not the name of my background,

either, so go figure.

The reason I asked is because I got gift certificates at Fred Meyer's for

Christmas and still haven't used them all and my plan was/IS to get a crock

pot. We had one when I was growing up and I loved the all day aroma of those

good foods cooking in there. When I was at Freddy's I checked them (a whole

big ONE to choose from) out, and there were also slow cookers, but I didn't

know the diff, so I didn't buy anything at that point. Plus, the crock pot

was rather small, which I didn't like. I want to be able to make a big 3 day

meal, so I don't have to cook so much. That is the whole idea behind my

getting one, besides the wonderful aroma. Ryder said to go with the crock

pot, which I agree. But the one they had won't do me any good. I might as

well cook it in a pan on the stove for the amount it would give me. I am

also thinking of getting a bread maker. Years ago Ryder's Mom got one and

she makes the most wonderful breads! So, we'll see. I know I could eat much

healthier if I had those two appliances sitting on my counter looking

pretty!

Did some looking at that site, now I need to decide what color. Do I want

chrome or white? I plan to get the 6-quart Crock-Pot.

Hi Judy, Oh, thank you! The more I know the better decision I will make!

I figured that out too. I checked out some web sites and read how people got

small ones, etc. I found a 6 quart for $39.99. Now I just need to order it.

Thank you!

[ ] What's the difference?

mistake of getting a smaller one and ended up giving it away and getting

another one. I have 2 bread machines and quite often have them both humming

Okay....this is often very confusing. It didn't make sense to me for quite awhile either, but hopefully this will help. Here goes.... A total capsulectomy can be done instead of an en bloc procedure. A total capsulectomy is exactly what the name implies. It is a total removal of the capsule surrounding the implant. The suffix "ectomy" means removal. So it means just what it says....a total capsule removal. It can be done after the implant has been removed from the breast. That is, in this situation the capsule would have been cut into, split apart, and the implant taken out of the pocket, so that what remains is a pocket where the implant was, lined with the capsule. The capsule would have to be removed at that time, and completely. Some doctors would choose to leave a portion of it inside, if they had a hard time getting it to release

from the body, or for whatever reason they come up with. (I hope you can sort of visualize this.) Now, an en bloc is sort of the same thing, except that the goal is to remove the implant and the scar capsule as one unit. Sort of like an M & M peanut candy with the coating intact. The goal here is to keep any of the contents of the implant from spilling all over the place, if there is a rupture, by using that scar capsule. Some capsules are thick and rubbery, so that they actually do function as a holding tank, if you will, for the silicone gel if loose. So an en bloc is performed by taking the implant out of the body with the capsule still attached to it. They don't cut into it at all, and both are removed completely. You can see that if an en bloc is done, a total capsulectomy is done as a matter of definition. It just gets all of the capsule, period, because

it is not broken or cut into or compromised in any way. On the other hand, if you do not have an en bloc done, you can still get a total capsulectomy done. It is just another step, making sure the capsule is taken out as well.

Patty, Thanks-yes, it clears it up. The nurse had to have something to put down, in order for my insurance to pay-she had put down capsulectomy, so I was hoping that would be just as good as En bloc.Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: Okay....this is often very confusing.

Yes, just be careful of this play on words. You can have a "capsulectomy" which can end up leaving scar tissue in your body. The key is the word TOTAL. It must be a TOTAL CAPSULECTOMY. Otherwise, they can be content with a partial capsulectomy. It would still be considered a capsulectomy if they only removed a portion of it. So, be very, very careful about how they play with the words, and don't be lulled into a sense of security with the one word. It has to say TOTAL!
