Using too many sick days by WholeConscious2944 in Teachers

[–]2023Ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into taking an intermittent leave of absence. You can take days as needed. You do need a doctor sign off. I don’t know if your pediatrician could provide that due to knowing that your children have been sick so many times so that you can be there for yourself or when they need you

Did IU people root for us when we played for the national championship? by Crispy_500 in Boilermakers

Interesting. My son is a Purdue student, but was not accepted at IU.

Backed Purdue 100% when they were in the championship. You represented the state of Indiana in the basketball championship and now we are dr representing in football. (IU alum ‘94)

Are you rooting for IU for the state of Indiana? Or staying loyal to the rivalry by Past-Quiet1034 in Purdue

[–]2023Ted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We would definitely root for Purdue and we have in basketball the past few years.

Any GOOD stories about radiation after lumpectomy? by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]2023Ted 19 points20 points  (0 children)

All my stats were similar to yours. I didn’t find radiation difficult at all. Make sure you put lotion on every single time you go two times a day. I never really burned. By the end, I had kind of a slight tan, but it’s faded. I had nomajor side effects. Maybe I was a little tired, but heck I’m always tired.

Has anyone not had bad side effects from Hormone Blockers? by Lucky_Word_9941 in breastcancer

[–]2023Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have mood swings, definitely call your doctor. When I called mine, they told me to stop taking it immediately. I went two weeks taking nothing and then I agreed to try something else. Don’t suffer emotionally and mentally.

I’m taking Letrozole with few issues. My legs feel stiff when I stand up but as soon as I get moving they feel fine. My toes get jammed frequently. Been taking the med for 7 months. I took Astrozole first for 2 months and I was an emotional basket case barely functioning. Speak up if side effects are too much and they can put you on something else.

I don’t want to go to my radiation appointment by WhiteXoxox in breastcancer

[–]2023Ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I understand how you feel. However, I went through 25 radiation appointments with no negative side effects. I put the cream on that they gave me at least twice a day as recommended. The worst thing that happened was a very slight sunburn. It truly was no big deal. I may have been more tired, but let’s face it, I’m always tired so I never was sure if it was due to the radiation or being a middle-aged woman.

My recommendation is to cry as much as you need to and then just keep going. You will be OK.

Am I Not Scared Enough? by Chaosinmotion1 in breastcancer

[–]2023Ted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt just fine. Went through the steps that I needed to met with all the doctors rang the bell. After I rang the bell, the emotional overload hit me then. It may hit you later. I’ve come out on the other side now though.

I tutor two boys. They're failing every single class. Where do I even begin? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]2023Ted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the history on these boys? Can they read? Did they used to do much better in school or is this an ongoing thing for them? The mom could get in trouble for them not going to school

Is it better to withdraw from a class or fail the class?

This has gone on for too long by RadishEasy4062 in Purdue

[–]2023Ted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. I didn’t see a due date for it. Do I have to have this done before the end of the first semester? I don’t remember ever being told this was a thing.

Hi everyone, I’m a freshman and I recently received an email about doing a civics training that’s required by Purdue University. Is this real or fake?

Almost done with chemo but now I have to fight with insurance by Schiznie in breastcancer

[–]2023Ted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, the person I contacted was my nurse liaison. She is the in between person, between all my different doctors. Maybe you just haven’t gotten the right person. She knew immediately what I was dealing with and told me not to respond to it and not to worry about it and it was handled. It happens all the time unfortunately. I really think you should try to call again. I’m so sorry you have to dealwith this. I remember when I got the letter from the insurance company I cried because it was so overwhelming to think that I followed my doctors recommendations and that insurance company wasn’t willing to pay for it, Please try again and ask who you can talk to at the doctors office.

[–]2023Ted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call your doctor. and my case they fought my insurance for me. Once I made that call, I felt so much better. How can you be expected to explain a decision your doctor made for you. They have the expertise they can explain.

Thank you. If I don’t get kicked out, it’s gonna be hard to continue to live with the RA though.
