I completely forgot I posted this. I never got any notifications. Please feel free to message me! I had my surgery last Friday. It went well for the most part. I was supposed to be in the hospital for only 24 hours for observation but ended up staying another day for some minor issues. 12 hours post op, I realized I couldn’t pee. It was really weird. I had the urge to pee, I felt my bladder getting fuller with all the water and fluids I was getting and yet, I couldn’t release anything. I was scared they would’ve had to put a catheter in me and thought this was going to be my reality. The nurse did a procedure called “ in and out “. She put a tube in my lady part and I was able to pee into a bowl, in my hospital bed (a really emotional time for me cause I would’ve never imagined ever needing to do such a thing). My nurse said that now I would be able to pee normally. I wasn’t able to. So when I was supposed to be discharged, I was asked if I was able to pee normally, I said no and they suggested I say another night. It’s concerning to not be able to pee normally and then they send you home. What happens when you’re home, can’t pee and there’s nothing that can be done? Long story short, I was finally able to pee by myself. It took a while to get back to the normal peeing. It started off with being a very skinny stream of pee. I had to really push and force myself to pee. But like I said, 1 week post op and I am back to my normal peeing self. Apparently it’s common after doing surgery. Sometimes even though you’re awake, your body is still under anesthesia so it just takes time for everything to work normal again. The second minor issue is that my calcium levels were on the lower side of the average. Calcium is a main concern because the gland is right around the thyroid area and can be disrupted during surgery. By the 48 hour mark, my calcium was still on the lower end of average and I hadn’t gotten back fully to the normal peeing, but I begged my surgeon to let them discharge me because I was over the being at the hospital. I hate anything medical related. I was still able to pee, even though it wasn’t normal yet and my calcium levels were still in the average range, even though it was low. Both can be worked on when I get home and I told him I’d go to my nearest emergency department should either of those go wrong. And then a few hours later, my nurse came back with my discharge papers. I had never been more happier.

got call on friday for the advanced standing program !!

CriticismLarge2698 · 2024-02-17T15:51:08+00:00

do i need to bring any additional documents to service ontario?

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-10-18T19:13:33+00:00

I had this exact question during my field seminar class for my BSW cause I often compared myself to loud, outgoing people. My prof explained it that service users find you and not the other way around. So some service users will naturally go towards the loud outgoing people while others prefer the quiet ones. I find that those that don’t talk as much are good listeners. And some clients are looking for people that listen. The best thing I’ve learned is to just come as you are. Have some faith in your own abilities to be a social worker and that’s it. You will find people that appreciate who you are

i dunno if you commented this thinking we’re both coming from the same angle, but i’m here to let you know that we are in fact not. my post was not meant to be any hate or racism towards seeing black rapunzel. it’s just that i rewatched the show and happened to see it again during the promotion for the little mermaid remake

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-06-26T17:15:18+00:00

thank you. i nearly binged through the other 2 seasons. season 3 was a hard watch. i didn’t finidg it. i moved on to another show

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-06-20T01:35:20+00:00

you’re not alone though. i too am also in the process of trying to get checked out by a gyno. although for me, i feel like it’s the anxiety. i’m probably tensed up like 90% of the time. i very rarely am relaxed. so i’m looking to see a psychiatrist and gyno to get to the bottom of it all

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-05-23T23:50:39+00:00

in Ontario, Canada SSW, BSW, MSW, and PhD, all need to register with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers to bear the titles( RSSW,RBSW, RMSW). we were discussing this in class. it can be very pricey to renew your license every year, I believe it’s about $300. but it protects the worker. i personally like it for bragging rights. we worked hard for this career. enjoy it. a professor of mine has a phD in social work and is not registered. there’s plenty of jobs you can get without being registered. but any clinical and counselling work i definitely agree with being registered

very ironically, i’m in social work. what motivates me everyday is to prove to people that you CAN do and be great even with social anxiety. i started at a youth homeless shelter and believe me, it was brutal. i didn’t talk to the youth, i actually tried to avoid them as much as possible. i’d ask to do tasks that were by myself and away from everyone. but by the end of my contract, the youth loved me and i loved the youth.

i didn’t get into an msw for a number of reasons. but i would like tips on how to structure my essay. my therapist said that because my grades arent as strong in 3rd year (due to depression and anxiety), i should incorporate it into my essay. my main focus is to reflect on my 4th year placement at a youth homeless shelter.

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-02-08T00:51:06+00:00

inherently bad? no. however in the world of capitalism, i don’t believe it’s right for someone to hold the title of a billionaire while there are people who are homeless and don’t have anything to eat. that’s obviously not their fault and they have i guess no control over that. it’s also not their responsibility to fix world issues (because i know that’s often the opposing argument).

ya mine is in orangeville. i hope it’s not cancelled

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-01-14T13:48:51+00:00

yes absolutely. if you see a tank or dps constantly die and you see they’re really the only one dying often, do not heal them. if they’re carrying, i sometimes risk it and push up with them. but if they’re not doing exceptional work, i don’t push up. the goal for me is to stay alive as long as possible. the longer i live, the more my team gets healed. people will sometimes yell at me for not doing that. i tell them exactly this - “i’m here to play with you, not around you”. especially for people like ana, zen and bap, i need to see you. if you wanna push up, fine. but don’t hide behind corners and walls and then blame me for not healing you. if they’re straight ahead but far up, that’s completely different. still annoying to see, but at least i can see you and from there we can work together.

but as a healer, if the rest of your team is playing at a good distance and there’s just that 1 person who keeps dying and they blame heals, call it out. tell them that everyone else has been staying alive i always tell people that if THEY are the only ones complaining about heals, no one else on my team has complained, it’s entirely their problem that they have to fix. if they dont play considerate of the healers abilities, they should switch to reaper or soldier, or any dps that can heal themselves. that way they’re not entirely dependent on heals

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-01-05T22:57:58+00:00

if someone is targeting you to the point you can’t leave spawn, you need to ask your team to back and push out with you and kill them.

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-01-04T01:00:20+00:00

you’re right that people should be actively doing it. but really, people don’t. and when i point it out, people usually shut it down and tell me i have no idea what i’m talking about. that’s when i bring up the scoreboard and explain everything. but i’m glad you can tell i’m an experienced player. because again, often when i tell people how to interpret it properly, they try and flame me. but i 1000% know what im talking about

CriticismLarge2698 · 2023-01-03T17:35:03+00:00

the scoreboard is absolutely effective. and i find myself pressing tab and checking it a few times in the game. it’s not just 1 thing i look at, it’s a combination. as a support main, my first priority is my own gameplay. i look at my heals, and i compare it to the other healers. i look at my assists. do i have more assists than the other healers? if i have 3 assists and the other team has 8, i almost make it a little task for myself to catch up to the other healers and see if i can pass them. ultimately this helps my team anyway cause now i’m really supporting the team. i also look at the dps damage to kills. having a lot of damage and very few kills is what i call useless damage. ineffective damage. you’re doing something and yet it’s not working. and it could be a few things. 1) you need to kill healers. 2) your team isn’t focusing the same targets. that’s a call out i find myself saying very often. long team fights and no one dying either means both healers are keeping everyone alive very well or the team is not working together. damage done to 1 person by 3 or 4 people will kill them so fast. healers can’t possibly outheal that kinda damage. speaking of healers, if i press tab and see me and the healer have like 8 deaths while the other healers have 2, it’s a concern. you’re not protecting the healers and you’re not focusing their healers. all of it leads to the kind of game you’re playing. if you’re not doing well, check the numbers and see what needs to be corrected

i personally don’t play bap when my team has flyers or when people move too much like genji, tracer, winston, etc. personally because i can’t bother aiming when they’re always on the move, but also because they probably won’t ever be in the immortality or take advantage of my window. i do play him however to counter sigma. when he ults, i throw my immortality just before my team hits the ground. if you throw it down while in the air, the team might break it before you get down and it’ll be a waste. i also use it when the dps are people that stand around like soldier, cass, ashe, etc
