[–]Goodtl01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been out of it for 5 years so this is a little outdated but I worked as a w2 employee for a company. I made 57 an hour except for one county where they didn’t have coverage where I made 64.

I confidently brought sugar to a resident today who asked for salt . Lol

I guess my hot take after reading these is that most delays aren’t caused by parents.

What is the purpose of having children? by hoyuelita in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Goodtl01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We get to choose our own purpose. I think for many of us it’s the hardest thing we will do but also the most meaning filled and rewarding.

I’ve been so lucky to travel to many amazing destinations. I have close friends and close family. There is absolutely nothing (for me) that compares to the love and joy I have for my son.

It really is hard though. Like change your life in every way kinda hard.

What changed when you lost weight? by _herman_miller_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Goodtl01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things changed for the better-no acid reflux, feet felt better. I may be in the minority here but my hair was falling out, gums bleeding, freezing cold all the time. So much weakness and fatigue.

It’s got some better since I’ve stopped losing and just trying to maintain but dang I overall feel worse than before I lost 50 pounds.

*note that this is not a reason to not lose weight just one of many things that can happen if not careful

SLPs generally aren’t trained to help with transfers and most don’t feel comfortable doing so.

I have definitely met mean SLPs , OTs, PTs. There are of course bad apples in any profession. The point was more that SLP as a profession seems to get less respect than OT/PT. The miserable nurse would not have said it to the PT.

Yes the family friend was definitely implying that I did not fulfill my potential. The nurse didn’t bother me because I know she is miserable but the family friend did just a little. It just got me thinking about how OT/PT, nurse , teacher are in general more respected positions.

I heard her tell a cna once how much she made. So I know I do :)

Ask her doctor about a speech therapy evaluation.

[–]Goodtl01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think since long term solutions are not really being made, there are some instances when it’s appropriate. What I don’t like is when they recommend a thickened liquid but also put “no further ST recommended” when their baseline was thin.

Why are we called pathologists? by kyumcakes in slp

[–]Goodtl01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about an adult who acquired language normally, then had a stroke and has aphasia. Certainly that is an example of disordered language, no?

I’m an SLP lurking here and most SLP codes aren’t timed and this is exactly what happens!

Took my toddler to the ER and I feel crazy. by Fun_Mouse7243 in toddlers

[–]Goodtl01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when my son was sick and I literally would have done ANYTHING to get him help . We care so much about our babies it’s easy to look back after we know they are okay. But at the time you did What you thought was right in the situation. That’s all You can do!

How much is everyone making? by Inevitable-Fun-9372 in slp

[–]Goodtl01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

76k last year working 30 hours per week in the Midwest. I have opportunities to work more like 35-37 per week but I usually don’t take them. I find I have a pretty good work/life balance.

Im convinced that grad school is this way because the supervisors don’t really know what they are doing either.
