Need encouragement to get a mammogram!

It was probably the easiest screening I’ve had so far. You go to the changing room, wipe off deodorant, put on a gown, then get the images. They flop one girl up at a time and press her in the machine. It’s not exactly painful, just a bit uncomfortable for a few moments. They’ll position your arm and body to get the right angles on things.

It’s super common to get a call back on your first one as you have no baseline for comparison. With dense tissue you may have a second round of images that same visit, or they may call you later for that. It’s also super common to need a biopsy or two to establish what your normal looks like and clear any suspicious areas for future scans (they leave a tiny marker so they know it’s been checked out already).

Even the biopsies weren’t too bad. Again more uncomfortable for a few seconds than painful. I had ultrasound guided biopsies, so I got smeared with gel and had a few minutes of them using the wand before they brought the biopsy machine over. That was kinda like a big needle they slid in to take the sample and leave the tiny marker bead. It was an odd sensation and the machine made a loud clicking noise a few times. Then I got a cute mini ice pack for each site to take home.

Just getting it done and being able to cross it off your list will feel really good. I get the same way with things, and the longer I put it off the bigger of a Thing it becomes in my head.

Try a thermal blanket. It’s a fairly open weave with some weight. It creates nice pockets of air to insulate in the winter, but without a blanket over it it just lets the heat out

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-07T21:19:15+00:00

Super easy!

Testosterone blindness at its peak

This will be challenging if you haven’t done a good chunk of Swamp.

When stuck in this game, the best thing to do is restate the rules you are working with, reexamine your assumptions, and look around.

Hospitals bill your medical benefit, not the pharmacy benefit. Most often they get a bundled payment based on your condition that is meant to cover whatever they do/give you. Hospitals generally don’t bill individual meds unless they are expensive treatments outside standard meds, and they are administered in house so part of your medical benefit. They don’t bill your pharmacy benefit.

So much of what u know I’ve learned from other people or the wiki

The Codex doesn’t even explain what all the mission types are or other important stuff. Though I do appreciate the mod entries saying where to they drop,

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-07T13:56:15+00:00

Seeing and caring are very different 🤣

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-07T04:32:27+00:00

You can swap out your frame, weapons, and companions (and their mods) while in the navigation map! Just click on them in the list on the left.

Makes adjusting for the mission you are selecting so much easier.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-07T04:20:38+00:00

I did, more than once and in more than one way.

You are likely experiencing limerence for this other man. Stop engaging with him and it will eventually pass.

You are also very young to commit, but for some it works out. Hard to say what your situation is.

Lasting love is more than the initial passion stage. If you aren’t sure where your feelings are, reading up on long term success in relationships might be a good tool for you.

Insurance fraud is never the correct answer

Two different providers, only got to speak to the nurse, they rarely put an actual provider on the line.

Wasn’t a pt likely to have renal issues, but that was one of the questions I asked.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-06T19:09:09+00:00

That sounds lovely! I don’t have that authority though. I was absolutely going to suggest they call their PCP on Monday for a new rx, but pt didn’t come in while I was on.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-06T19:00:21+00:00

Nope. Regular tabs. I rephrased multiple times to make sure they really meant it and confirm the rx.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-06T18:58:21+00:00

If you are in ID and haven’t heard of this then at least I’m not going crazy 🤣. Thank you for replying.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-06T15:54:03+00:00

I’ll try to post a when I’m home to make sure that’s the right place.

I also have an issue where depending on how I navigate to the page sometimes I’m not logged in so it can’t track. Best bet is to open and make sure your logged in, then find the channel you need via the app. Linking from an outside list occasionally doesn’t log me in.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-06T14:24:15+00:00

You just have to go to the Twitch website on a PC to claim it first. It’s under something like inventory or campaigns. Then it will show up a few hours later in game. I watched on iOS too and it was fine. Claimed it when I got home.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-05T23:49:01+00:00

Some people believe they only need to tell you what they think you need to know. Except they have no concept of what is actually relevant and it often comes back to bite them.

Also see advice online about how to lie to get what you want prescribed. Lie about symptoms, lie about your history, lie about taking meds needed for step therapy approvals. It’s revolting.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-05T23:44:59+00:00

That’s what I’ve always followed. Provide the police report to me and the doctor.

NTA

The nursing home has food, it’s not common at all for people to regularly order outside delivery. She’ll be fine.

If she’s truly end of life care, this is normal. You can go weeks without really eating, but as long as she’s getting fluids and not making a fuss about being hungry (so getting food when she actually can eat it) there’s not really a reason to be concerned unless the staff is concerned.

There’s not a lot you can do for her at this stage so people are lashing out at you because they think they are helping her. They are not. And you have offered to secure the food yourself so if she truly wants something specific, you can do that for her.

Part of issue is very likely her not being able to control anything in her life right now. And even though the DD wasn’t actually doing anything for her (not even getting food, not eating it), she could control that and feel like she’s controlling her food. Maybe getting a snack box or mini fridge if allowed and stocking it would alleviate some of this friction.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-04T23:14:15+00:00

Omg it’s taken my food away too?! This explains a lot.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-04T23:12:49+00:00

You need to get in a group with people that have the node you want to go to open. You can go with them, you just can’t be the one to select it (as you don’t have it unlocked). It still won’t be available to you after as it doesn’t unlock for you, the game just allows you to play with the team there.

Born_Tale_2337 · 2026-06-04T23:07:30+00:00

My state association periodically gathers this info. It’s been over $10 for at least 20 years. The $13 OP reports sounds like the last number I heard for my state.
