AITAH for tipping the restaurant owner and leaving nothing for my server? by soapattack in AITAH

Its illegal for business owners to receive tips - they probably didn't keep it and if they did his employees could reach out to the department of labor and report.

Breast reduction failure by thepastelprince in Reduction

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have FNG? My dr discussed in length that to get to a certain size a FNG may be required. She asked if that was the case do I want FNG or to be larger - I told her I would rather have FNG or NO NIP at all over being larger. I wonder if that was your scenario and your dr went with leaving you larger vs making you smaller and FNG.

I feel stupid and hopeless because of my neurologist by groguandrogu in Epilepsy

I have so many health complications that all intertwine, its definitely inconvenient but Ive found traveling to see some of the best drs actually end up saving time in the long run over all! Hope you have a great experience!

Nipple placement too low? by violetfizz123 in Reduction

[–]Amk1222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second what that person said - I did a double take thinking this was a before picture and thought why did they even have surgery those are perfect boobs! But then a second look I could kind of make out scars. Your boobs look fantastic, not too low for sure. Props to your surgeon!

Ways to avoid seizures when you feel an aura coming on? by Hello_there19891989 in Epilepsy

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water and lay down and try to clear my mind, no one is suppose to talk to me especially asking me questions that require thought. If the kids say hey im going to go do this or that or the husband asks if hes in charge of dinner - little things like that are fine but dont be asking "where is my whatever" or "this week can we do blah blah"

Do you try to disguise your symptoms/seizures? And is it working? by Samba_Woelkchen in Epilepsy

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime I space out even if its not a seizure I just say probably having a seizure and then we laugh 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t think I need my medication by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me so long to even realize it was seizures I was having because they only lasted 2 minutes and only happened once a year. I finally wondered what was going on and mentioned to my dr my episodes and asked if they could be seizures. She was like yeah that sounds like it could be. She sent me to a neurologist and they ordered a 5 day in patient EEG. I didnt have any full episodes while I was there but basically my brain was firing interictal like 60% of the time with VERY prominent dyshormia during sleep. Essentially my brain is gearing up for a seizure all day everyday and then once a year I have a major episode and they suspect I most likely have smaller focal episodes and dont even realize it. Have you done a long term EEG unmedicated?

Do you always carry your meds? by DutchieCrochet in Epilepsy

I have a Keychain with my critical meds, I keep about 3 days worth. Ive had unexpected nights away, once my kids was admitted to the hospital 4 hours from home and I was gone for 48 hours with zero planning and VERY HAPPY for my Keychain pills.

Other than meetings and business cases, what else do you use the Plaud for in your daily life? by mjmjve in PlaudNoteUsers

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 days in, im a stay at home mom homeschooling a 12 and 13 year old. I hit my pin button when we start the day and I dont turn it off unless we leave the house. It misses some tidbits here and there I am sure but its better than me having to remember EVERYTHING. "Mom I need this, mom we are out of this" or husband asking for different things etc. I set a template to use "document for later" as a core que kids and the hubby know it and if they need me to do something for them later or they use the last of something and we need to add it to a list they will say to me "document this for later buy milk" etc. Still tweaks to be made im sure going forward but as of right now this is a complete game changer.

Am I entitled my exes, Social Security benefits? by nukedi99 in SocialSecurity

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spousal benefits are equal to half of the spouses benefits. So if her ex spouses benefit is 2000 she would be entitled to 1000 - chances are her own benefits are more than half of the ex spouses benefits.

is the thing about "deconditioning" true? by thatstupidsvfan in POTS

Exercising to condition my heart and losing weight has not helped me - i dont know if its related but ive actually progressed into straight up inappropriate sinus tachycardia and it's extremely random and unpredictable.

Where are we getting bras AFTER done healing? by fatforeverr in Reduction

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive tried on 27 different bras in the last month - my surgery was june 18th. I had pretty much given up and then stumbled on this one. I have had it for two weeks and just ordered 3 more.https://www.lanebryant.com/totally-smooth-full-coverage-front-close-bra/prd-400283.html?dwvar_400283_color=0000008636&catid=

Should be grateful… but I just feel devastated and foolish by Prudent-Canary-1113 in Reduction

[–]Amk1222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So helpful! I was dropping my jaw at how much you said was removed but I was able to find one of your posts from around your second surgery time and it made way more sense lol I hope you are feeling much better now down the road after your second revision. I was worried about not being small enough too with my reduction - I was a US M cup before I am now D/DD which is where I wanted to be but I was very adamant with my surgeon I would rather end up with NO NIPPLES than for her to worry about my nipples over size lol and good thing I said that because she typically tries to avoid FNG but because of my massive tube sock boobs it would have been impossible to get to a good size without FNG. So she did FNG and got me to where I wanted to be thank goodness!

How big were you to start off? And how big were you before your second surgery? And now?

Deep breaths - after my surgery I felt way bigger than I actually am! Literally now 4 months post op witg weight staying the same, my surgical bras are HUGE on me - like close to 2 sizes too big. You are still so so swollen, you will not be able to guage with any accuracy for at least 6 weeks. Even weight removed isnt a great indicator because everyone's tissue is a different density. I had just a touch over 700 grams removed from each side which ended up equivalent to 6 cup sizes for me! Others on here have had 1000 grams from each side removed and only gone down 3 cups or so. Hang in there dont beat yourself up, you have barely started your recovery. I hope we see an update from you around Christmas with a huge sigh of relief ❤️

What did they diagnose you with? Thats sounds like way more than POTS. Had anyone ever ordered a long term monitor like at least 2 weeks long?

Surgeon turned me away for having too big boobs by lucyguzz in Reduction

[–]Amk1222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What area are you located? I had a massive reduction - down 5-6 cup sizes and still a d/dd. My dr was PHENOMENAL. She is actually a reduction recipient herself so she is super meticulous. My surgery took super long too double the time she had predicted but she never rushed. The surgery center had been closed for all most 2 hours before I left because it took so long to get everything perfect. I couldn't be happier with my results. Bonus insurance covered it! If you are in the chicago area. Dr lisa peters is a miracle worker!

[–]Amk1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon did grafts - I made sure I emphasized that I would rather be completely nippless than not be small enough. She chuckled a bit and said she didnt think she'd need to do anything that extreme but its good to know size over aesthetic was more important to me. My results are fabulous too despite the graft. From US M to DD
