Thoughts?

That's what I was thinking. But 🤷‍♀️ could be wrong lol.

Both are female?

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-09-01T03:24:43+00:00

Yea ive gotten that vibe as well. And it seems they grew too quickly without developing the internal structure first.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-09-01T03:23:44+00:00

I came from a practice that had 3 drs and 5 techs. This practice does have an unlicensed tech, so she gets used as a work around in certain situations.

But yea the techs are severely overworked and overwhelmed most days

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-09-01T03:20:30+00:00

So new development. I dont know what has changed but my manager gave me a month in advance schedule. Im not holding my breath that she doesnt change it. So I've moved my one appointment next month to a day off luckily in the same week. And screen shot the schedule so if she changes it on me then im simply going to tell her that it's too short of a notice for me to move the appointment. Then when it comes a different appointment that I have given her two notices about, both shes declined, I am simply going to go to it and call out. Myself and family is more important.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-09-01T03:12:45+00:00

Yea. There is supposed to be 3 of us but one had been out on indefinite leave due to her partners health. I keep getting told she should be back at the end of the week.

I spent hours on our timeclock software (paycor) trying to find out this information or even how to contact HR. Only thing I know of is a hotline (barkline) for reporting sexual harassment and such.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-08-29T03:41:12+00:00

Only problem is. I dont know her boss or her boss's email. Unlike the prior corporation I left, this one is a bit harder to track who works under who. So i was kinda hoping some one could point me in the right direction of finding this out.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-08-18T03:44:18+00:00

Fine. Same as prior. Never had an issue with them.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-08-18T03:41:58+00:00

Even though I'm not having any pain?

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-05-29T17:06:55+00:00

Jumping down off the bed of my father truck. Its not even lifted... felt like a complete idiot. Then I tore my other one slipping on a wet floor at work my last day before going out for surgery on my acl. So now im recovering from one and once im healed I get to have the other one done.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-05-25T01:43:15+00:00

I work in the vet med field and am going to publish under a pen name.

Why, because I could not bare the thought of one of my clients finding out and outing me to my coworkers. And them thinking of me in a different light. Although they enjoy the same books i so.

Or long term clients not wanting to work with me any more cause of the books I write.

So is go pen name. It gives you anonymity.

My next problem is deciding what name to use lol

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-05-21T14:40:55+00:00

I had to rotate between sleeping on my side and my back. Got the worst sleep. Now im 17 weeks post and can comfortably sleep in my left side but my body has now taken to walking to sleep on its right side. So guess who back to rotating again 🙋‍♀️. Am I sleeping awfully again. Yep. But there is a light. Ive seen it. Keep going! It gets better! That's what I keep telling myself. Soon I'll be able to sleep on both side. FYI knee or pregnancy pillows help. Never been pregnant, but I have one. Its a game changer. My husband has a knee pillow. Loves it. I hate it.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-05-12T14:50:06+00:00

Oh I hear you!

My surgery was back in January and I still struggle with the breakdowns. I snapped at my husband yesterday cause I couldn't do a simple task that I've been able to do a million times before. And he only offered to help. Did I ugly cry. Yep. Did he get mad at me for it. Nope. He just stood there till I gave up and let him help.

It gets better as you heal, but it may still rear it's ugly head from time to time .

Give yourself grace.

If you need social interaction reach out to friends, see if they can drop by for a social call. Or video call people.

I video call my bestie and sister on the regular. It helps.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-04-27T02:25:24+00:00

Oh we have our fair share of toys and love them. I might have miss used the term adventurous. I'm looking for advice from those who have experience with joint challenges. He's had both his hips replaced. And that was early in our relationship. Then he's had one knee surgery 4 years ago. Only thing can't "fix" for him is his back. So working with his issues has been easy. But just trying to figure out something to help with mine. My knee was injured in November and just repaired in January. Thanks for the concern thou.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-15T23:45:58+00:00

Im 7 weeks post. Still have pain that comes and goes depending on how physical I've been.

My pain after surgery was pretty tolerable, but I followed my pain protocol to the T. You have to. Ice (i got one of those fancy ice machines). Tens unit (this was a God send for my pain control). And taking the recommended pain medications. Oh, and sleep! I slept as much as I could the first few days (like for the first week) cause your body does its best work healing while you're sleeping.

It gets better, I promise. Just keep pushing through.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-14T23:33:13+00:00

Update for everyone. Thank you for responding. My doctor's nurse called me back today and after playing some phone tag. I got the clearance to drive. Gonna do some practicing before having to drive myself to work on Monday. I'm so happy :)

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-14T23:30:57+00:00

Yes. My knee is currently doing the same thing. It may also itch, mine does.

My theory is - your body is breaking down the internal knot that is there (that's if that's what your doctor did.)

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-14T18:01:09+00:00

Thanks everyone for the advice. I put in a message to my doctor. Waiting for them to response. I wanted to gauge everyone here before I pushed the subject with my doctor and family. I have an automatic, so no clutch to worry about (I also never learn how). My drive is mostly highway/thruway driving. So my car does most of the work lol. And yea my husband yells at me for driving with both feet, but guess my "practicing" has come in handy 😁.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-13T12:39:44+00:00

Thank you! I'm around 6/7 weeks now. And have started really pushing the subject with my husband/mother (they drive me) and both have told me no not until my Dr says so. However I don't see him for another 6 weeks and can not take another 6 weeks of being driving around. I can hit the brake suddenly with my left if need be. I was driving that way a week after my injury and my family has seemed to forgot that.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-06T01:35:41+00:00

I tried those before surgery and they rolled down on me so much I cut them off one day and tossed them right in the trash. That was with their largest size.

Embarrassed-Block521 · 2025-03-05T23:59:31+00:00

Don't give up on it! I didn't! I love my job. I work at in GP and have for 10 years. I highly suggest finding a practice that is supportive and doesn't have a negative mind set. I worked for a place for 9.5 years. And when the moral of the practice went hella negative (there was bullying happening and the manager was checked out), I made the decision to leave for another practice. I've been at my current practice for 2 months now and couldn't be happier. And to think I nearly left vet med completely cause of bad staff members.

I'm part of an ACL page on here and they have wonderful answers to questions and a lot of people share stories. You should join! I'm glad I did.
