成都静脉扩张手术费多钱(成都大隐静脉曲张治疗花多少钱) (今日更新中)

Did you find yourself cooped up during the pandemic-induced stay-at-home orders, blankly staring at the walls of your house, longing for more?Maybe you wanted to travel or go out to dinner with friends. Or maybe you just wanted a fresh coat of paint on that wall.If you found yourself in the latter camp, you had company: When the home improvement platform Houzz surveyed 1,000 homeowners who use the site in April, nearly 80% said they’re considering remodeling changes that would help them enjoy their houses more. And sales at Home Depot were up 7% in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period last year, a possible sign that consumers were already spending more on home improvement materials.Although now might seem like the perfect time for DIY home improvement, be sure to consider our new reality. Plan the project’s size, type and budget to fit current circumstances.Plan your projectWhether it’s a wall in need of color or a drab backyard that could use some landscaping, start by knowing what you want to accomplish. Then, put together a plan.When determining the project you’ll take on, think about what’s within your skillset and what you can accomplish during the upcoming months. For example, if you want to remodel your bathroom, put in some flower beds and redo the siding on your house, start with the flower beds since it’s easier and timely.Some projects are better left for professionals or for a later date. You might decide to wait to renovate a bathroom when you’re holed up for the winter and to hire a professional for the siding since it’s complicated to install.But realize that it might be difficult to get a professional on the phone given the uncertain state of businesses and stay-at-home orders. As well, resist the temptation to do everything yourself.“Wiring and plumbing shouldn’t be DIY unless you know something about it,” says Alexandra Barker, principal at Barker Associates Architecture Office in New York. “Because then, if you’re in a crisis, it’s hard to get a plumber or electrician to answer your calls right now.”Vicki and Steph Kostopoulos, a mother-daughter duo who run the “Mother Daughter Projects” blog, suggest holding off on any project that involves a lot of sanding — during which you would need to wear an N95 mask — given the current demand for personal protective equipment in hospitals.Do your researchChoosing a home-improvement project can be exciting, but figuring out exactly how to do it is an altogether more difficult task.“Before you start a project, watch a number of videos on how to do it so you can make sure you understand the process,” says Steph Kostopoulos. “By watching multiple sources, you’ll be able to get an idea of how it’s done.”YouTube has countless hours of DIY videos, but the quality varies. For consistent and knowledgeable how-to videos, check out This Old House, a home improvement series that makes seemingly complicated DIY projects more accessible. Apartment Therapy is another reliable resource.Set your project budgetYou know what you want to accomplish and how you would do it — but can you afford it? Make sure you know the total cost of a project, then review your budget and see how much of your expendable income can be allocated for it.The budgeting process might take some negotiation between what you can afford right now and what you want to accomplish. Given that we’re in a recession, it’s best to avoid going into debt or tapping your emergency fund for home improvements.Consider making a simple spreadsheet that lists the items you need and how much they’ll cost. That lets you prepare for and track the cost of the project. And pad it a bit because your project will likely cost more than that when it’s done, Barker says.“You always have to add in 10% or 15% of cost overage to your project budget,” she says. “You never know if your dog or cat could knock over your can of paint, then you have to buy another. Expect the unexpected as part of your budgeting.”If you find the total expenses are more than what you can afford right now, see if you can divide the project into more manageable chunks over time. This will help you get started without stretching your finances.This article was written by NerdWallet and was originally published by The Associated Press.More From NerdWalletHow ‘Maximizers’ Can Cut Decision-Making AngstTime’s Running Out to File Yahoo Data Breach ClaimsSmartMoney Podcast: Prepping Your Money for a Recession, What to Do with a ,000 InheritanceSean Pyles is a writer at NerdWallet.

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Jack Nicklaus says he and wife Barbara tested positive for the coronavirus at the onset of the pandemic. Nicklaus says he and wife Barbara stayed at home in Florida from about March 13 until they were "done with it" on April 20. He says he had a sore throat and a cough, while Barbara had no symptoms of COVID-19. Both turned 80 earlier this year. Nicklaus says given their age, they were "a couple of the lucky ones." Nicklaus says they have tested positive for antibodies. He has said he would shake the hand of whoever wins his tournament Sunday. But he says if the player doesn't want to, that would be OK. 638

EL CAJON, Calif. (KGTV) - When their friend was diagnosed with cancer, two El Cajon fifth-graders never imagined it would make her feel unwelcome at school. "She was coming back to school for half days because she was feeling a little bit better, and we heard that she was being bullied," said Wriley Lee, referring to her friend Trianne Nguyentu.Lee and another student, Matthew Stevens, decided they needed to do something to support Nguyentu. "Most people here don't really care what your appearance is, and after I heard about that, I said that's not right," said Lee.RELATED: San Diego grandmother grateful for man's random act of kindnessSo the Vista Grande Elementary students decided to shave their heads in solidarity. "Honestly, at first, I didn't believe them. I thought they were trying to get a rise out of me because it was so unexpected," said Principal Tita Cordero-Bautista. But the students were serious, so Cordero-Bautista teamed up with a school counselor to guide the students through the process.To teach more students a lesson in empathy and compassion, the counselor helped Lee and Stevens give an announcement to their classmates explaining their choice. "Appearance doesn't really matter; it just matters what's on the inside," said Lee. RELATED: Neighborhood 'angel' goes above and beyond to help othersPrincipal Cordero-Bautista says Nguyentu stopped by campus on Monday, confident and happy thanks to the actions of her peers.So far, a total of five kids have shaved their heads to support her. Nguyentu hopes to return to school next month. 1580

Doctors are getting a better understanding of how using marijuana can affect a breastfeeding mother's milk supply -- and for how long.A study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics found that low levels of chemicals in marijuana, like tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, were measurable in several mothers' breast milk up to six days after they said they smoked pot or ate an edible, among other forms of use."Whether this means that some level -- or any level -- of these metabolites can negatively influence child development is unknown at this point," said senior study author Christina Chambers, a professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego and director of clinical research for the Department of Pediatrics at UCSD and Rady Children's Hospital. 778
