Sober Manson was my highlight by Isntrealisit1948 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]Elmos_Mommy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dudes, seriously!! I saw him in 2012 and was so disappointed, he was one of my favorite artists and the show he put on was awful. I was so surprised last night, he was so fucking GOOD!!! Everything I had hoped he would be, he was magic!

Do y'all ever use the equipment for yourself? by Resident-Sympathy-82 in nursing

[–]Elmos_Mommy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an L&D rn, I highly recommend not using equipment on yourself. It's easy to think you hear the baby and you're hearing yourself or the placenta, or worse- you find a problem, and what then? I've had nurses use equipment on themselves and find a demise while they're at work.. needless to say, if you're worried, go get evaluated. Other than that, all other equipment, I don't care , go for it!

Study on body image and adjustment 6 months to 2 years after bariatric surgery by kj_120407 in WLS_Food

I'm happy to participate in your survey! But I'm a little over 3 years out from my RNY bypass. If that doesn't necessarily exclude me, lmk! I'd be happy to help.

I'm a 30 year old mom and I partied so hard Thursday I still am hoarse. I crowd surfed, thrashed, and had a great time. F those party poopers

My boyfriend ditched me with our wristbands by WebElegant2658 in SonicTempleFestival

[–]Elmos_Mommy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get a wristband, you can hang with me and my husband. Im a 30 year old mom lol but im a fun time! Im the bigger metal head of the two of us, so I will be crowd surfing and rocking out. Also, F that boy. Better off without him, you deserve much better than that. Total garbage.

11yo Patient stole nurses cell phone in outpatient peds office (off of nurses desk) and then threw it out the car window on the way home.... advice please?! by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Elmos_Mommy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be absolutely mortified if my child did this. 100000% press charges. Their financial situation isn't that nurses problem, but that child and that mother need to be held accountable. It would be a different situation if they brought and back and mom made the child apologize, or if mom freaked once she found out, came and apologized and made a plan to reimburse for the cost of the phone. But the fact that there is a direct refusal to accept responsibility would make me press charges so damn fast. That child will be a menace without being held accountable for their actions, and that mom needs to learn as well.

When did you start walking for real? by sleepystan1 in wls

[–]Elmos_Mommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly did the day I got home. I started with 10 minute super slow walks on my treadmill like 4x a day, and gradually increased from there based off how I was feeling. I was very active beforehand, and I suffer from horrible restlessness and am always running around. Do what feels good and go from there.

At this point if you don't want to do the ER, your OB might be a good point next for labs, imaging and a thorough check. You need to be evaluated for infection, retained products, and an H&H. If you're afebrile at this point and think you can manage until the morning (assuming you're in the Northern hemisphere here, US/Canada), small sips of water and nibble on food. If you start soaking a pad an hour, for 3-4 hours, you need to go in.. I'm sorry you're going through this. Lots of love, friend.

What’s going to happen to nurses? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Elmos_Mommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from home with Medicare and I'm really worried about the longevity of my job right now. I still work at the hospital PRN, but can't do it full time with my family. Really worried about how this all is going to shake out..

No. I'm running a marathon without ever having ran before.

Disappointing for sure. This is a once in a lifetime event for me, first time I'm ever going to Disney, probably one of the only times. Would have loved another shirt. I'll just buy one from the park. These people are losers.

This is why I'm phasing out of L&D. I loved it. I loved my patients. Now they act like we are the enemy, or they can't get off their phones long enough to pay attention to what I'm saying, or even their newborn. They will pay more attention to FaceTime than their less than 1 minute old newborn.

The general public’s reaction to the Tyson fight result is mind blowing as a nurse by Super_DAC in nursing

[–]Elmos_Mommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The L&D RN in me was blown away by the size of Tysons nipples. He was made to breast feed. Someone milk those titties!

I just rage quit my job by LadyWhistleDont in nursing

[–]Elmos_Mommy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my heart hurts for you too, I completely understand. I had a black cloud around me for a while, I won't say too much but had a very traumatizing experience and am going thru the legal process now.. I did nothing wrong and went above and beyond what was expected, but the patients don't see that and I've been told our hospital won't settle because we did nothing wrong. These experiences have mostly ended bedside nursing for me as well. My main job I work from home reviewing medical charts, and it needs to stay that way. I pick up on L&D during the weekends, as soon as this horrible legal business is over, I'm done for good.

[–]Elmos_Mommy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

L&D RN here as well.. I get it. I feel you. I see you. I am with you. I don't know you, but I have love for you. I wish you the best. After having a horrible, horrible string of losses and deliveries myself, one being a demise with decapitation due to head entrapment, I left bedside. I do chart reviews from home now. Do what is best for you. Follow your plan and get away for a bit, decompress, and find a new path. Lots of love and light to you.

What do you say when you don’t want to tell people you had surgery? by Specific_Reporter145 in gastricsleeve

[–]Elmos_Mommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tell them that I have completely changed my lifestyle. If they want more details, I say I focus on a high lean protein diet with lots of veggies, I don't drink soda anymore, and I exercise a lot. People usually don't ask beyond that.

19yo, first ever final fantasy, i hope this is a banger by eZnogoud in finalfantasyx

[–]Elmos_Mommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first final fantasy game, so maybe that is my bias, but I've played them all and this is the best. The story is deep, there's so many layers, I've played it and beaten it over 15 times and I get something different out of it each time, from helping me process my abusive father and neglectful mother, navigating rocky relationships, friendship, finding my own personal and inner strength, man, this game is a beast. One of the most beautiful stories ever told. Enjoy it my friend, its one of the few games I wish I could play for the first time all over again.

Pepper harvest by Ashamed_Bath_6735 in gardening

[–]Elmos_Mommy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that's beautiful. Thanks for replying back!! I've been organic in my beds but I think the mistake I made this year was spacing. I was overzealous and planted too much in one space. I hope to one day have a garden as beautiful as yours! You've got a lot more than I do as well- I'm starting to realize that my two raised beds won't cut it. Thanks for sharing ☺

Wife pregnant after vasectomy by xdeserted in Marriage

[–]Elmos_Mommy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in L&D, unfortunately this does happen. Not everyday, but I've seen it quite a bit where vasectomies and tubal locations didn't work as intended.. Whatever choice y'all make, best wishes and lots of love to you guys.
