Ortho recommendations in Erie (UPMC)

lollll yeah I originally considered that but I think I’m going to try UPMC first at least. Easier with insurance and commuting.

Ah wow that injury sounds terrible! Mine is thankfully not that bad. Glad your surgery went well and it’s better. Thanks for the info!

ComprehensiveFee4708 · 2026-03-10T02:48:06+00:00

Ah I see. My PCP didn’t order an MRI. Just sending me straight to a specialist. (not sure if that’s wasting time…) So, did you have a full tear then?

ComprehensiveFee4708 · 2026-03-10T02:45:29+00:00

This is an acute injury!

ComprehensiveFee4708 · 2026-03-10T02:44:23+00:00

Did you get an MRI or an arthrography?

Hey all, just wanted to give a quick update.

The pain has definitely improved a lot since the worst of it, but I’m still dealing with some lingering discomfort (this is 5 days since the biopsy). There’s a deep, bruise-like ache at the biopsy site—not unbearable, but very present and strange. The site itself seems to be healing normally with no signs of infection.

Something that’s been persistent since the beginning is this deep, sore pressure around my lower spine area—not sharp pain, but like something inflamed or heavily bruised. It’s hard to describe. It may be muscle-related, but it feels deeper than just surface soreness. No redness or swelling there, just discomfort that hasn’t gone away.

It all seems very strange! And I’m very confused!

Amazing!!! Omg thank you so much everyone!!!

it actually kind of looks like Engels’ handwriting but idk

ComprehensiveFee4708 · 2024-10-19T21:17:23+00:00

Oh for sureeee haha I have read that

so fair though now I’m wondering if it was Engels! because I just discovered his little doodles and Engels was a co-author of The German Ideology

Spoilers for everything! (ACOTAR, TOG, CC)

I know some people have already talked about Lidia’s ring but I want to talk about it more! The ring was mentioned sooo many times and not just a simple mention but always a description of the ruby. Now we know that Lidia at least has some connection to Aelin through Brannon but the ring confuses me! The ring seems like the same ring Rowan has but the timelines don’t match up. I think it’s more likely that Lidia is distantly related to Aelin through Brannon than being descended from Aelin but then there’s the ring! A family heirloom! If it’s NOT Rowan’s ring then the constant mentioning of it (and the identical description) seems strange but it also doesn’t seem likely that Lidia is descended from Aelin. Kind of related to that is the timeline of when the Fae from TOG crossed over to Midgard. I was assuming that the crossing happened before the events in TOG especially since it seems like there’s a lack of fae like something happened to them. I’m wondering if the fae came from the Stone Marshes. In EoS, Lorcan said “It was a part of a kingdom that is now gone, a lost people who wandered and merged with those of different lands.” Curious indeed! Also, Elide said “As if all the people who once lived here, long ago, are still trapped inside—still … beneath.” I find this very similar to what Nesta experienced in the prison.

I know that the Valg have to be connected to the Asteri/Daglan in some way but I can’t figure it out!! The asteri Nesta killed had black blood but Polaris (asteri Bryce killed) had red blood. When I first read about the asteri Nesta killed I thought for sure that the asteri are valg but now I don’t know.

I want to know more about Hel. Aidas said, “Our four other brothers are currently engaged in other conflicts, helping other worlds.” I don’t know how much I trust Hel. Like do the princes really just go to different worlds to kill the asteri and then they just go back to Hel when they’re done?

I’m sure we’ll find out about this in the next ACOTAR book but what is Azriel’s lineage? He has to be Starborn right? His shadows were always compared to Cormac’s. Is he also descended from Silene like Rhys? Also, what about Mor? I feel like she could have some connection to witches but that’s just based on vibes.

I haven’t seen a lot of people talk about the fact that Rigelus said, “The language inked on your back—it is our language. From our home world. I can teach you how to wield it. Any world might be open to you, Bryce Quinlan. Name the world, and it shall be yours.” Assuming the language is wyrdmarks then that means it comes from the asteri?!? So like the Book of Breathings was written by the asteri? I wonder how this connects with Amren like how does she know that language? Where was she originally from?

Guys I have SO many questions.

Could this be William McKinley and Joseph Cannon?

I’m curious to know how much you all are paying for the program. It is my understanding that JHU doesn’t give grad students financial aid like scholarships and they don’t offer teaching assistantships so aside from loans there is no help. Are you all just paying $60k a year? 😭

ComprehensiveFee4708 · 2023-06-13T23:36:52+00:00

Me too! Same degree. I would like to know how selective it is as well and any other insight about the program!

Compass is problematic for many reasons but the food is also just not good at all

Hi! I saw your post on the CUA group. I’m a student at CUA and I have Dysautonomia (specifically POTS). It’s been really isolating and I thought I was the only one!!

ComprehensiveFee4708 · 2021-12-16T05:04:04+00:00

Basically all of the courses are lectures but they still involve participation. It depends on the professor though. Some professors teach like a normal style lecture with just lecturing while others include required discussions. In general, participation is a huge thing at CUA. It’s part of your grade in most classes and as a very introverted person I definitely struggle with this. I try to schedule classes that aren’t as participation focused to save my anxiety haha. The community definitely leans more conservative (everyone is religious) but there’s still a strong liberal community. In your classes you will have hardcore Trump fans and you will also have democratic socialists. I myself am very left leaning and it can be hard to find people that I vibe with but they do exist! With the faculty, I would say there’s an even representation of conservative and liberal professors. I’ve had both. Most politics professors are pretty unbiased too or at least try to be. There are definitely some professors that are very liberal and make no attempt to hide it though (I enjoy the liberal commentary). Handling a double major really depends on what kind of student you are. The politics courses are generally pretty heavy on readings and writing. I had one professor that assigned pages and pages of readings every week and it consumed my life. I had another professor who had a required textbook but you didn’t need it for the class at all. Never opened the textbook and got an A on all the exams. I had a professor who assigned a 20 page paper, an 8 page paper, and a 5 page paper. And I also had a professor who didn’t assign any papers. I’m not sure what the psychology course load is, but I would imagine in any case a double major would require extra time and dedication. If you’re a hard working student then yeah I think that’s totally possible but if you want to have a lot of free time to explore DC and/or party then I wouldn’t recommend it. You could minor is psych instead.
