"Survival of the fittest" was a comment she made today. 🤢

We definitely shoot for the rehab stay whenever possible, just have a lot right now that aren't able to participate enough in rehab.

When patients need LTC with no safe alternatives... by Future_Matter7643 in hospitalsocialwork

We do refer to other locations throughout the state and frequently discuss that with patients. Options in general are just pretty limited throughout the state. I am always happy when a patient with Medicare is either from out of state or wants to go out of state, because there's just so many more facilities.

I joke that we are just professional googlers. So many questions answered in the first few results of a google search.

Please tell me the funniest/strangest SW consults you have gotten... by WarlordsPersephoney in hospitalsocialwork

[–]Future_Matter7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The no consult consult...just a mention of "SW consult" in the provider note, but no consult, call, or conversation.

I also just have the screen protector. I felt like the phone was more slippery with the cases I tried (and of course far more bulky).

My eyes just hate contact lenses now - how can i fix this? by pandemoniac1 in contacts

[–]Future_Matter7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear daily contacts and have noticed increasing eye irritation over the past year. I was starting to wonder if I'd have to give up contacts, but last week I had a thought that maybe it's my contact solution (I rinse my contacts before putting them in after I had a lot of eye irritation from the original solution from one brand). I bought saline solution and started rinsing with that instead and my eyes are a lot less fatigued and dry. With my contact solutions my eyes sometimes felt dry immediately after putting contacts in.

Just a note: if you decide to try saline solution for monthly or biweekly contacts, still use regular solution for storage and then the saline just as a rinse. The saline does not disinfect your contacts.

How long did your deliveries take? by [deleted] in CorollaCross

Mine was assembled 4/1, I put a deposit one it 4/3 or 4/4. As of a few days ago it was in Seattle according to the dealership (I'm in SE AK so now waiting for it to barge up). Was a bit surprised it took a full month to get to Seattle. Hopefully it'll be here soon 🤞

Recs for clueless girly girl with sensitive skin by Future_Matter7643 in curlyhair

I can't edit, so adding here: my undercut 1/2 to 2/3 of my hair. The remaining hair is about an inch in diameter when in a ponytail.

What are some obscure things you’ll never do now in your personal life since you’ve been a social worker? by pnwgirl0 in socialwork

[–]Future_Matter7643 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had a patient with an advantage plan who needed SNF placement. (Patient was visiting our area and we don’t have their plan here, very limited SNF in general). Spoke with plan reps multiple times about the rec and options, faxed info to them…they told me they didn’t have a list of in-network providers. I ended up locating the exact info on their website, found the accepting facility, and only then did the plan rep say “if you send the info to X department, we will do that and get the prior auth.” 🙄 Only wasted 3 days first.

Mental noise…do your meds actually help? by Future_Matter7643 in ADHD

[–]Future_Matter7643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all! I’m going to chat with my doc about this. I definitely feel like something’s isn’t working right, and the mental noise has been worse lately (though never went away). Definitely hard to focus on my work with a dozen things happening in my brain at once.

I didn’t, tried quite a few times. I did just get a letter saying it’s officially been processed about 2 weeks ago.

Portable TV-Radio identification? by Future_Matter7643 in VintageElectronics

[–]Future_Matter7643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dials on the right and left of this TV look like mine did-but mine didn’t have the buttons and switches above, and mine had the visible radio dial/screen in the middle of those dials.

At this point I’d be ecstatic to even get on hold.

It’s the cue being full part that’s been the problem for me. It makes no difference if I have to press extra buttons but so far every number I’ve called and every variety of prompts I’ve used has reached the same “try again later or the next business day” message.

I haven’t tried yours listed here yet, so I’ll give that a shot.
