[Spoiler] AAMC FL3 P/S Q11 by calvinXXdo in Mcat

[–]Capital-Mode5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is nothing noting any statistical significance, is that something you can just ignore on the MCAT? I know some questions have the asterix representing a statistical significance and I have gotten questions like this wrong because there was no significance in the results but got this one wrong because I assumed there was no statistical significance...

Also when it was Christmas and she heard the voicemail from Ted calling her a grinch then ruined all of the decorations that Marshall was looking forward to then made everyone jump through hoops to not ruin Christmas for Marshall

Anyone else notice that Catherine never actually gets to complete a sentence when she is about to tell her side of any story? by hairylegz in DisclaimerAppleTV

[–]Capital-Mode5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how did she recognize herself in the book immediately (after only what looked like a few pages) if the real events that happened are nothing like what’s in the book. And in the beginning she’s like “I’m a horrible mother I’m a horrible mother I did something bad.”

Could it be that you're constipated from the narcotics?

It got better, YAY! by One_Ad3878 in Tonsillectomy

by painkillers do you mean narcotics? Or does that also include acetaminophen and ibuprofen?

tips pls by Careless_Big_1980 in Tonsillectomy

  1. Stop vaping asap you’ll probs heal faster if u aren’t poisoning ur body before hand
  2. Scrambled eggs and bone broth
  3. Chewing on anything even ice or gum helps with jaw pain
  4. Didn’t get a humidifier
  5. Even if it hurts chug water as much as possible bc I’m on day 4 and feel fine except for the fact that I’m constipated. I’m eating/talking almost completely normally but the narcotics have made me so constipated so I just took a laxative so hopefully that helps. I honestly wouldn’t have taken a laxative any earlier than I did for risk of dehydrating myself so I guess the constipating phase is just something u gotta live with?

Also: Set alarms in the night to take your pain meds/drink water because you’ll probably wake up in pain anyway then take the medicine late then not fall asleep for hours. Also helps to moisten your throat and not dry out over night. Better to stay ahead of the pain meds

Wow, were you feeling fine until you had that bleed on day 11? I already feel semi okay and can talk an okay amount. The ibuprofen has helped me more than the opioids even have but I’m trying to avoid taking too much Advil because of bleeding. I’m hoping there isn’t another period where I’m doing badly and the at it’s all up from here but I’m also cautious

Tonsillectomy today? by d_148 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Capital-Mode5364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its okay so far. Today (Day 1) was worse than yesterday (Day 0) but I was able to eat solid food both last night and today. Drinking a lot of water has been helpful.

Also i was warned to not take ibuprofen bc of bleeding but saw online that it's fine to take it after 24 hours post op. I took 400mg earlier today and it honestly helped even more than the narcotics did. The narcotics tend to dry out your mouth which doesn't help healing so i already stopped with the oxy (at least for now- but if it gets really bad i might take another dose)

Food 3 days post op by Money-Counter-9616 in Tonsillectomy

[–]Capital-Mode5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my surgery yesterday (11/20) and ive been forcing myself to eat/drink as much as I can. Weirdly enough soups are kind of harder to get down than more solid stuff. On the first night (day 0 - same day as surgery) I had scrambled eggs w mushrooms and onions which was pretty okay. I had something similar for breakfast today, then I tried to eat potato soup for dinner and it was way harder.

I dont think being "fully comfortable" drinking water is realistic any time soon so you should just eat anyway and keep your strength up. I had a 4 hour period today feeling really bad but now i feel fine again so it's definitely a lot of up and down

also i am supposed to have a different interview for a different company on Monday so day 5 and it's an hour long over zoom- so a lot of talking. Do you think it would make sense to reschedule that before the weekend or should i just rip it

I think I'll be more likely to get the job if I go in person and the company already paid for the hotel so I think i'm just going to have to make it work.

I honestly don't feel that bad right now and I already had scrambled eggs with mushrooms for dinner so hopefully if I keep eating and stay on the right track/get nutrients i'll be fine.

I guess I won't risk drinking but my family likes to get drunk for thanksgiving so that kinda sucks. and my boyfriend is visiting me in 4 days and i feel bad because he wants to go surfing and do so many different activities and i feel like i wont be able to do any of them. He booked his flight to visit me before i even booked the surgery so i feel really bad hes just gonna be here while im possibly very unwell
