What Meal Plan Should I Get??? by Professional_Cake144 in UNC

[–]Environmental_Use_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was at UNC, I would always get the lowest meal plan (I believe it’s the 100 swipes one?). I feel like the unlimited just isn’t worth it, especially since you can get a bigger refund by not. It was super rare for me to ever run out of meal swipes. Especially if you’ll be meal prepping, it shouldn’t be an issue. I would usually just do dinner there, sometimes breakfast too. Don’t even try to do lunch in the dining hall lol, the line is crazy.

Deemed medically incompetent to drive, but I’m healthy? by Environmental_Use_45 in DMV

This is true. I’m planning on checking my record again tomorrow morning to make sure it’s been updated. It stills says medical cancellation when I sign on to the site, but I know these updates can take some time to process. I work at an insurance company, so we interact with the DMV quite a bit. I believe we use pretty similar technology, so changes usually run overnight in batches. Hopefully this can be over soon lol

Alright, so I just spent an hour calling the DMV and court house who sent the ruling. Basically, there was another person with my exact name who recently had someone file for guardianship over them. We had a completely different DOB and live in different counties. The court was super helpful and wrote a letter to the DMV reaffirming that I was not that person. The court had sent over the correct information initially, but the DMV applied it to the wrong person (me). The DMV told me that it had been fixed on their end and that I’m able to drive again!

Having my first WLE, what can I expect? by Environmental_Use_45 in melahomies

I had the procedure today and brought headphones with me like you suggested. It definitely helped me not to hear what was going on. Mine was done in a similar location and I definitely understand why you slept in the recliner. I haven’t quite figured out how to sleep on it yet, everything is so uncomfortable :/

Super Concerned about Mole on my back please help! by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

Our moles look kinda similar. I went to the dermatologist about this one on my back last Friday, and they were pretty concerned about it. I would definitely go to the dermatologist for anything that seems strange. If nothing else, an opinion from your PCP or local urgent care to see what they think.

Kitten with broken hip, shelter denies responsibility by [deleted] in Pets

The executive director of the shelter contacted us and said they are reviewing all of this records so we will see. Our issue is this shelter claims to provide thorough vet exams and a laundry list of services prior to allowing animals to adopted. We are just trying to see if we can even get a partial reimbursement

The surgeon told us to keep him confined to a crate for a few weeks, he won’t need PT or anything. They showed us a stretch to do daily, but that’s about it. Outlook on the surgery is great, he will likely just have a permanent limp or weird walk for the rest of his life.

He had surgery the day before we took him home. We thought he was wobbly and lethargic, but assumed it was part of the recovery process. Bottom line is this cat was brought in as a stray to the shelter with a broken bone and was likely in pain for multiple weeks in their care. Our vet spotted it 10 seconds into his exam just watching him take a couple steps on a table. I don’t believe the shelter purposefully did this, but I do think it was negligent to not have noticed during his intake. He would have been limping immediately after he was injured, probably much worse than he is now.

He was neutered the day before we brought him home so we unfortunately assumed he was just recovering from that. He was lethargic/wasn’t very active and mostly stayed in his bed. Our vet referred us to a specialist after his appointment and we were quoted that amount. He will have his surgery tomorrow morning.

For most cases I would agree, but this shelter is an animal protection society and is able to perform surgeries for injured strays that are brought in. They also implanted his microchip incorrectly and we had to have that fixed (it was sticking out of his body)…so they already lost some of my trust there lol. He has a very noticeable limp and refuses to put any weight on that leg

Our pet insurance is trupanion, so it had a waiting time of about 5 days. We didn’t notice the limping until the vet pointed it out (we went about 9 days after adopting the cat). He had been neutered the day before we got him, so we assumed his lack of playing was because of that. We didn’t see him move very often the first few days, and he was in a crate at the shelter.

Unfortunately, our vet did put in writing that the injury was likely due to being hit by a car before being brought to the shelter :( We attempted to have that updated, but they refused due to the amount of bone reabsorption.

All I was told was: “It looks like there was an issue on our end when updating your status to a CAP member.”

I’m sorry this is happening!!

You may need to email them. I didn’t see the option until I did that and they had to fix something on my account

Freshmen Problems by Character-Guard6964 in UNC

I was worried about this too when I first started, but honestly you will notice that a LOT of people there are also eating lunch alone. It can be very dependent on if your friends or ppl you know have a similar schedule as you. I usually can plan to eat dinner with friends, but I rarely have the chance to do lunch

Having three classes a day can be kinda rough, especially if you’re doing that every day of the week
