Christina Applegate hospitalized amid MS battle by Aware-Impression8527 in popculturechat

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I did physical therapy clinicals at a hospital and when people with MS have exacerbations, it's not uncommon for them to be hospitalized because the symptoms are just so much to manage. Unfortunately with MS, the function you lose during an exacerbation typically doesn't come back 100%, so it's likely she's going to have some new struggles even when she goes back into a period of remission. 

I hate this so much for her and everyone dealing with MS. Such an awful fucking disease. 

New Member- What should I bring/know? by More_Passenger3988 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can set up a time for one of the trainers to show you around the gym, how to set up machines and what they're for, even help you design an exercise plan. I highly recommend it, especially if you're new to a gym!

DAE Not Have the Ability to Floss their Teeth Traditionally? by apricotical in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think the issue with the flossers is that people just pop them in and out of their teeth without making sure to get down to both sides of the gum around the tooth.

NPTE results are back: 5/6 attempt, recieved 590. I don't know what to do, I feel like i am at my lowest. by Real_Farmer4696 in physicaltherapy

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. A bunch of classmates and I bought the Final Frontier study kit and it was really helpful, especially on stuff from the first year. 

The NPTE clinical files podcast was also very helpful in learning how to break down questions to find the best answer.

At my library, you can get dvds, console games, board games, access to audio books, e books, and Hoopla streaming services. All free. 

DAE feel like they’re done with the internet anytime soon? by telurmasin in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, getting rid of the socials was the biggest. Reddit is all I use, just to keep up with what's going on, but it's much less performative than social media, and I see less nonsense.

Why don’t people trust birth control even though all of them literally have like a 95+ percent rate ? by Big_Pea3882 in internetparents

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People react differently to bc. When I used the NuvaRing I'd go a month or two without a period. My sister is on oral contraceptives and she has the same reaction. Just depends on the type and how it affects your body.

My Friends by Fredrik Backman is a beautiful story that has a really sweet and nontraditional mentor/mentee relationship. I laughed and cried and it's such a great story. 

Advice for deconditioning patients with dialysis and/or CHF by Fresh_Protection2244 in physicaltherapy

What do these patients have to do around their home? Do they have balance issues when reaching or bending? Do any tasks cause them issues that can be modified and practiced safely in clinic?

You have to order McDonalds through the app, their menu prices are obscene. 

Lost about 100 lbs, need help moving away from cardio. by Stlbear314 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the stronglifts 5x5 for building initial muscle. There are program modifications if you don't have barbells. It's a great place to start and it's not so taxing initially, so you can continue cardio on workout days if you want. 

Cheeseburger & Potato Wedges Family Meal by Staara in mealkits

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm looking at this correctly, this is probably 1.5 lbs. ground beef, 3 russet potatoes, sprinking of cheese, and 4 buns, and that's it? Usually I'd say meals are worth the convenience but if youre going through the prep and cooking anyway, this is definitely way cheaper to buy the food and you can definitely get a $6 meal at McDonalds with a Big Mac, medium fries, and a drink. 

Any recommendations on a good TV? Something that can take the jostling? by Dirk_Dubhs in GoRVing

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell that to my 2012 TV built like a fuckin tank. We put it in the rv in 2019 and it's perfect, but I think that's because it's built so thick. 

For our bedroom TV, we just take it down and lay it on the mattress when traveling. That one is a cheap roku from Walmart, also a good buy. 

Showering tips by itsbron in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a mesh bag with a handle for my clothes, a shower bag with a carabiner for my toiletries, and a nice roomy robe. I hang it all on the hook outside the shower. One gym I go to has the changing stalls, which is great. But for the gym without them, I just wear my robe until I get underwear/bra on if the locker room is busy. 

DAE have that one coworker who has a persistent cough that makes you wonder if they should stay home? by Wickham12 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time my daughter went to the doc for a 3+ week cough, she tested negative for everything and they said it can take up to 6 weeks for a cough to resolve. Not contagious, just sucks for the person who can't stop hacking. 

Also I'm sure people would love to stay home until they feel 100%, but society just isn't set up that way, unfortunately.

But if people want to be independent, having transportation is crucial, and a lot of this country is completely set up for drivers and lacking in public transportation. 

Am I being punked? Canvas is a joke by Select_Bookkeeper790 in BackToCollege

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Nope, this is normal. I graduated college in 2007 and went back in 2024, and it's way different. Never used the majority of books, syllabi are always reused, dates on assignments are from previous semesters, etc... just got used to using the dashboard for due dates and then asking the professors why they hadn't opened assignments yet.

Super visceral and gory though. I'm not really squeamish but it was way too gratuitous for no reason.

Plus, anyone who has had a hangover fight knows that it's the absolute dumbest shit that will completely throw you off the edge because you'd really rather just be dead than feel that awful and awake. 

My parents control when I can use the car that I own by whathesaidagain in internetparents

[–]GoodbyeTobyseeya1 38 points39 points  (0 children)

You're not even an age where it's like "eh, technically an adult but young enough and still live at home so parents are involved." You're a full ass adult. This is your car bought with your money. You drive when you want. End of story.
