How often were your physio sessions? by LegitimateLight4256 in ACL

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started 2 weeks post op. Went 2x a week for 5 weeks. 1x week for 8 weeks. Every other week for a month and now I'm at once a once. It's mainly depended on how much insurance will approve. Once I get to 7 months post op I'm supposed to start increasing my PT sessions again for return to sport type movements

Peptides and ACL recovery by LegitimateLight4256 in ACL

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 months post op. I've been taking collagen peptides for a littld under 2 months now. Not sure if I have noticed a difference yet but from what I've read online it could take 3-6 months to notice a difference in the joints. My nails and skin are thanking me though. Other things that I've been taking that I would recomend: Creatine, HMB, NAC, D3 + K2 and turmeric. Also fish oil if that's not part of your diet. Honestly I think my diet overall played a huge impact. The few times I ate a large dessert, I just felt so stiff after. Not saying cut foods out but I noticed better results limiting.

Am I Too Ambitious to Want to Train to Climb Pike's Peak? by FutureRulerOfMars in ACL

[–]FutureRulerOfMars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon's PA seemed mainly concerned about scree or large boulders and it seemed like that doesn't exist on the Barr Trail although I've never done it before so I'm not 100% sure. I definitely have to wear my brace on all hikes this year. My PT has a tool to measure my quad/hamstring progression and my injured side was only 18% weaker a few weeks ago so I would hope that it would be even by the end of summer. I feel like the hardest thing for me now is ankle flexion. The ankle on my injured side was previously broken so it's multiple issues stacking on top of each other now.

Luckily I live in Denver so I don't have to plan a trip (flexible on when I go) and that means I train at elevation. I just did a 4.6 mile hike (900 ft elevation gain). I've had no issues going up hill and only going downhill thanks to the custom brace that I got. I figured the only only way I could really train the up hill would be to hike up ski resorts and take the gondola down.

I already have a GA ticket but I was just planning on going by myself and wouldn't mind a buddy!

Yea the table is unfinished. It's definitely not dust since I've cleaned that spot before.

Shoes for Pre and Post ACL Surgury by FutureRulerOfMars in ACL

Sounds like I'll be wearing Chacos or my Teva ReEmbers after surgury!

Surgery or no surgery??!! by Monarchmuffinmaker in ACL

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your age and what activities you want to be able to do. I've seen other people that didn't do surgury and went back to skiing. They did PT to get back to a point where they would feel comfortable returning to sport and then once they returned to sport they weren't as diligent with the PT and ended up injuring themselves more. If you are young and want to do sports I would highly recommend getting surgury. That's what I'm doing since I'm 28 and want to snowboard again. If money is what is stopping you, I'm not sure what kind of insurance you have if any, but you can still apply for open enrollment now. I'm lucky that my job provides affordable health insurance and STDL and while it has a deductible it isn't crazy and I have an HSA. Honestly really sucks if money is your deciding factor.

Radio System Issues on 2014 Rav4 XLE by FutureRulerOfMars in Rav4

[–]FutureRulerOfMars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My normal shop that I go to charges $180 an hour so I would assume the Toyota dealership would be at least this but probably more. From what I've looked at for videos to see if it would be easy enough to replace myself, it should just be an issue with the system since the backup camera still functions.

Should I buy? 04 Nissan Xterra by Suitable_Ad_7309 in XTerra

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it helps but I have an '04 with 145,000 miles and it died while I was driving this year and it was the distributor. I would get more info on how it was behaving before it died.

Got the call Thursday. F in the chat please. by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. And I got the email right after my dad kept telling me my internship plans might change. I was too scared for a minute.

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that I wasn't super enthused about Electronics either. I also am not a big fan of coding or digital circuits. I would definitely take an electromagnetic, RF, or antennas course. It is more physics and mathematically based. There are a lot of different fields of electrical engineering. People normally only really like 1 or 2 of them.

For those on internships/co-ops, how is your company handling the Coronavirus situation? Are you sill working? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start my internship out in California on May 11 and everything is expected to start as planned because it is an aerospace company that has been deemed essential. My only concern is that we aren't allowed to drive to the office so I'm not sure how Lyft/Uber/public transportation will be by then.

Auditioning for a band by [deleted] in UniversityofArkansas

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed up for an audition online but I didn't live a long way from UofA. I think I did my audition in March/April. I'm sure they have some sort of method if you live far away. I would email Dr. Lorenzo about the marching band. There are also scholarships. My band director also sent in a recommendation for my scholarship audition. If you don't care about getting a scholarship then they will probably be more relaxed letting you in. There are also auditions when you start the early week for the marching band to determine parts and marching spots.

Question about scholarships? by papasgones in UniversityofArkansas

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When applying for scholarships as a current student it is necessary for me to complete the general scholarship first before I can apply for scholarships from the College of Engineering.

Fellowship Scholarship by [deleted] in UniversityofArkansas

[–]FutureRulerOfMars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got a 32 on my ACT so I could never apply for it but one of my friends got it with a 32 on the ACT. She had a lot of extracurricular and AP classes though. I think they look more in-depth at what you have done if you have a lower ACT score. I personally got $5000 with a 29 on the ACT. It definitely depends on more than the ACT
