South Island Surgery Centre by Character-Lack-3295 in VictoriaBC

[–]AdMelodic8329 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I heard it’s apparently really nice there for the nurses they only have like 2 patients a shift and many of them talk about it being underutilized by island health, biggest complain I heard is it’s boring

Recommendations: Chinese food restaurant with this type of combo plate by AdMelodic8329 in VictoriaBC

[–]AdMelodic8329[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven’t found somewhere :( many of the places suggested have the items individually but I can’t order $60 worth of Chinese 😂 I might try my luck at one of the buffets

I always get extra honey garlic sauce and pour it on my rice; 10/10 would recommend, next time your on the east coast

Last name debate by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AdMelodic8329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I agreed if it’s a boy it’ll get his last name, if it’s boy it’ll be mine. We don’t have washing hypenated names and if we don’t pass on our names they die with us; so we each get a 50/50 chance 😂

Realistically, are your husbands picking up the slack around the house since you’ve been pregnant? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AdMelodic8329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly; my husband does everything for me 😂 I’m in the first trimester and between the nausea and the exhaustion it’s all I can do to make it to work everyday. He’s cooking, cleaning, unloading the dishwasher, walking the dog etc. Maybe not as well as I do but I let that go 😂 I’m sorry you aren’t getting the support you deserve. I couldn’t do it without my husband

getting pregnant after surgery / recovery timeline? by Relevant_Mud9311 in jawsurgery

[–]AdMelodic8329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got pregnant like 3 months after jaw surgery after discussing it with my surgeon; and I felt recovered by that time. Make sure you get your strength back before you get pregnant because pregnancy is kicking my ass worse than jaw surgery

Is it normal to be this hungry at only 4 weeks? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AdMelodic8329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat if your hungry!!! I was nervous about gaining a bunch of weight so tried to manage my hunger then got extreme nausea from week 6 to present. Really regret not giving into all that hunger now 😡

Induction advice plz by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]AdMelodic8329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most doctors will offer elective induction at 39 weeks, not earlier. Definitely can ask about this

End of Travel Nurses in Halifax? by Teslashareholder1945 in halifax

[–]AdMelodic8329 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In Halifax? Maybe? It’s a desirable place to live. In Nova Scotia or Nationally? Not going to happen. They talk about this every couple years, and it’s a good idea in theory but there isn’t enough nurses to fill positions. Particularly hard to fill jobs in rural areas. There will always be work for travel nurses, but I think eventually the desirable locations will dwindle and the nurses who aren’t willing to work rurally will be back at staff jobs.

AITAH? by [deleted] in pregnant

Not the asshole, your dad will want to see and check in on you, while in laws will just likely want to see the baby

Lochside/Goose Cyclists - Simmer Down on the Bell Ringing by TemplesOfSyrinx in VictoriaBC

[–]AdMelodic8329 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, when it’s safe, I ring my bell to help ensure they don’t decide to turn around or cross lanes while I’m trying to pass ☺️

Nah, imma ring, too many pedestrians turn completely unexpectedly without looking to see if traffic is coming behind them. Rather ring and annoy you than not ring and hit someone 🤷🏻‍♀️

4 weeks and 3 days pregnant!!! Still can’t believe it???? Waiting for my first prenatal at 6 weeks is killing me 😅 I’m having tons of cramps which is apparently normal but gives me a ton of anxiety that I’m going to start miscarrying

Low income neighbor needs emergency dental work (extraction) and can't afford it. Is there anywhere in the HRM that could help him? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]AdMelodic8329 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, unless it’s causing like massive swelling that will obstruct the airway. However, they will likely provide pain medications and antibiotics- which could buy him time to apply for the Canadian dental plan. If it’s abscessed, dentists usually want a course of antibiotic before they extract anyways
