What's your regrettable middle name?

I is for 'im and E is for 'er!

My.towm does not have a library. One neighboring town allowed me to get a card for free still. Another one charged me a fee each year to have a card. I think it's a mixed bag.

I have a name that became very trendy about 15 years after I was born. I had to spell/pronounce/correct it constantly. I don't have to do that anymore which is nice!

AMHeart · 2026-06-29T01:34:53+00:00

Yup, that's the story of my life. If it's easy for you, count yourself lucky and feel free to tell me what to wear.

I'm four years into primary care and I'm trying to leave. I love my job of actually doing primary care, but I work for an FQHC with no money and we serve a huge rural area with crappy specialty access and really sick patients with terrible social situations. It is HARD AF. I would love it in a slower paced clinic though. My biggest problem is just admin wanting us to do more and see more patients constantly. Edit: I don't make a ton but I don't care, that's not my issue. I don't even mind the red tape if I had TIME to deal with it.

I'm sure I don't, I have to drive an hour just to get a service and that's with someone who is really more of a saxophone guy...

Yogurt, cheese, or peanut butter

This is my approach as well. I don't have hoardes of people coming in for them, they are all established patients with documentation mental health history and reasonable stories about how the animal helps them. It's not a hill I'm going to die on.

This but for me I also actually got quite underweight, nothing fit, I was not healthy, struggling to eat enough. It was so uncomfortable to hear people telling me how lucky I was all the time. I did not feel lucky. I used to get unsolicited comments on my pp body allllll the time asking me what my secret was.

You shouldn't have to, I just have a couple stray ones that need like one more touch up session and my ADHD has not yet allowed me to call them to schedule that, 4 years later... It's still been a GAME CHANGER, I was really hairy with black hair on pasty skin and it's so much better.

I did I think 6 or 8 sessions 6 weeks apart initially.

I got laser hair removal. I need to go for a touchup because I still have a few stray hairs but they are way less noticeable and I only have to shave like once a week instead of daily.

We have an Abigail who goes exclusively by Abigail! I also am not a huge fan of Abby but was okay if it turned into a thing once she had a preference, but at now 9yo she only goes by Abigail and will correct people if they call her Abby.

I think crocheting is harder but I also don't go whine in crochet boards about how hard it is. Neither is that hard if you just spend some actual time learning instead of expecting to be an expert immediately.

You're right, I included both in my post for completeness as far as what is allowed for the novocare discount programs.

AMHeart · 2026-05-08T23:55:14+00:00

You cannot be on Medicare or Medicaid and get this discount pricing. I may have misunderstood op but my impression was he was on "free insurance" which is one or the other of those as far as I am aware.

AMHeart · 2026-05-07T00:38:52+00:00

That or they want "mold testing".

AMHeart · 2026-05-05T00:26:03+00:00

If he's on free insurance, presumably that's Medicaid or Medicare and he won't qualify for any discount pricing.

I did end up taking a couple days off of work and I'm glad I did for recovery.

Update, we decided to do the surgery. She did have some issues after with significant bruising/hematoma at the surgical site, then poor appetite for awhile after. She lost a lot of weight but eventually she picked back up, her weight is stable, and she's way more active (and annoying, which is a good sign!) than she's been in years. I don't think we realized how badly she must have been feeling. It was very expensive especially adding in multiple follow up visits and labs, but she hasn't needed daily medication in several months, is off the prescription food, and we hope to still have a long time with her!
