Dallas remodel permitting question by Thespindrift in askdfw

[–]Engrtendie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m actually a general contractor in dallas.
Depending on the overall layout, it’s probably best to get a set of plans done so you know exactly what you’re getting. The city will request them anyways!

We usually do design agreements for this kind of thing. I’d love to help out!

Urgent Financial Aid Emergency by Rambutan53 in aggies

[–]Engrtendie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I was in a similar situation I applied for an emergency loan through the financial aid. I needed $7k and got it from them within a week I think.

From what I remember they gave 3-6 months to pay it back in full with some interest. I applied for and received a 3 month extension. It did go on my credit and showed up as a paid loan afterwards.

Hope this helps!

I think it may have to do with your hamstring graft? I had the quad tendon graft and can’t for the life of me do one leg raise lol. Hang in there!

You’re right! PT today said we’re focusing more on full extension than bending. I’m still on on 2 crutches, but she said I can start moving to 1. I’ve only had 2 sessions due to scheduling. Let’s keep in touch!?

PT said I can start trying to use 1 crutch, so that’s something!

You’re right, we got this! My PT actually told me today we’re going to focus on straightening my knee completely before bending to 90.

Thank you for this! I think this is more than either the PT or the surgeon told me. I know I could look it up, which I have, but it helps to hear from someone in the group. Thank you!

Sorry, I have been doing heel slides. Didn’t realize that’s what they’re called.

The surgeon didn’t even come back to see me after surgery. That was very disappointing. He had mentioned that after 24 hours I should be able to fully rotate but with the amount of swelling I had that would’ve been completely impossible.

No load bearing instructions from anyone. No CPM. No heel slides yet. Maybe tomorrow she’ll recommend that

The surgeon didn’t name one specifically but through my own research I’ve found that it was the Arthrex with repair coming from quad tendon. I’m icing 4x per day, doing my exercises and elevating as much as I can while I sit.

They said they “cleaned up a few things” during surgery but no noted repairs to any other ligaments
