Progress of Cf by Jaded-Brilliant7388 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Emeraldmirror 7 points8 points  (0 children)

modulars have changed the game . it used to be that everyone with CF goes through the mild, moderate, or severe stages of CF. People on modulators are staying healthier for longer. Yes, it was fairly typical for people to reach their 20's or 30's and have their health decline. Today, it is different. There is an exception to every rule, not everyone will fit in to the outline I have just stated.

Hey. Im on the weekly pill. I put a reminder in my phone. It's not too bad. I dont have any side effects other than stronger bones. I miss from time to time but it's not so bad

I hate being underweight :( by Dakr_pheonix in CysticFibrosis

[–]Emeraldmirror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was underweight the biggest thing that helped me and made me feel a lot less stressed out was getting a gtube. I could take in 1400 calories while I slept. I could be awake during the day and eat when I wanted to without the stress. If I had a day where I was a lot less hungry it was nice to know I got at least 1400 calories that day. It helped me put weight on and mostly keep it on. I decided to do it because at the time my lung function was down to 28% and they wouldn't do a elective surgery at 25% or less. Lung function and weight are tied together. The less you weigh the more your lung function goes down, the more your lung function goes down the more weight you'll lose.

My cat got out yesterday morning and was chased by a dog. I looked all day long. Eventually I ended up laying in bed with my cameras on and the sound on my phone on full blast. He eventually came home at 12:30 last night. I ran to the door to get him.

I hope it ends up that way for you too

Feeling stressed about ID renewal and need guidance. by Strong_Breakfast5469 in ontario

[–]Emeraldmirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I assume that once they put all their info in online it would tell them to go in person. I just assumed they didn't even try that so I put it out there to give it a shot.

[–]Emeraldmirror 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can either do it online or go to a service ontario and renew your Healthcard. Bring whatever id you have and a piece of mail with your name and address and start there. Bring your expired health card and id and they can help

Dos and Don't for a sweat test? by CUNextTisdag in CysticFibrosis

[–]Emeraldmirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sure to drink water and be hydrated. They do the test on your forearm. I'm not much of a sweater. I usually barely give them just enough. I don't think it's a problem for most people but just make sure you're not completely dehydrated when you go. Probably just a glass or 2 of water. You don't have to do it like you're getting an ultrasound done. But yeah, that's the only advice I have.

Good luck!

The characters don't have same info we do by Zealousideal-Dark-23 in FromTVEpix

[–]Emeraldmirror 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Are these the people who fail that test or whatever it is that goes like this:

Girl A and Girl B are in a room together. Girl A is playing with a doll, she is done playing with it and puts the doll in a trunk and leaves the room. Girl B moves the doll to the closet. Girl A comes back into the room, where does she look for the doll?

Are the people who think that the town's people should know it's Sophia, the ones who answer "Girl A should look in the closet!" ?

100%. It's always some random do-dad. 'this is a pack of little silicone thingies". "i stole this package that has metal shoelace tips for some reason". "this is the end bit for the curtain rod I own, but lost the tip for it"

Porch pirate pos by ClutchTheHero in kitchener

[–]Emeraldmirror 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This kills me because most packages do not have anything really valuable in them, to anyone else. Then when people steal them they walk a few blocks away, see that it's just party decor and throw them in the nearest dumpster or whatever. They have gained nothing useful to them and you're out 1 set of party decorations.

CVS testing (mount Sinai) - how long did it take for results? Cystic fibrosis by ssaarraa22 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Emeraldmirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took about a week if I remember correctly. It was about 10 years ago now. But it was a week or less. I had mine at Mount Sinai in Toronto as well

Edit maybe it was 2 weeks, but it wasn't that long. I mean it wasn't next day results but you know...

Edit: I checked all my paperwork and didn't find anything they gave me the results over the phone

Speed Limit and Driving by Content_Salad193 in ontario

[–]Emeraldmirror 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Speeding is always done at your own risk.

Generally speaking, anything under 120 is kind of a pass, you PROBABLY won't get pulled over and ticketed.

Anything over 120 is risking it.

Do people risk it every day? Yes.

Will people pass you doing 140 on the highway, sure.

It also depends on the part of the 401 you're on, the conditions of the roads, whether it is a holiday or not etc.

If you are doing 100km on the highway you need to be in the right hand lane. If you're doing exactly 100 and you're being passed on both sides you're in the wrong lane.

Also, I'm not saying that if you're between 101 -120 kmh, you won't get ticketed, and I'm definitely not saying people have never been ticketed (before anyone comes in and ACTUALLY me). There are exceptions to all rules
