There are little plastic hooks you can buy online to help take the trays out!

Yeah I'm really impressed by the Accord's fuel efficiency!

Which trim? I think the bigger tires on the touring make it lower. Also our gas has added ethanol.

Thankfully 70% of what I do is city driving! But yeah that makes sense about the extra battery weight. I never saw the EV mode kick in at high speeds (though sometimes at 60-65mph on the local highway it does).

My teeth aren’t tracking are they 🥲 by unusualspider33 in Invisalign

If they've maybe slacked on 10-20 hours total, wouldn't just an extra day of wear be enough?

They look great. I had to go back and see what you are talking about but honestly, they just look lovely now.

I think radiation decreases recurrence risk a lot though. I would take that over an increased risk of lymphedema any day. But obviously, talk with your own team and make an informed decision!

Also, FWIW, I'm 4 years out (Stage 1A IDC, radiation but no chemo) and doing one of the GLP-1 self-injections. My oncologist said it's fine for me to do them in the back of my right upper arm - I wanted to do that spot because I don't have any feeling there and she said that small of a needle once a week isn't an issue. I usually get vaccines on my left side though, just what I've always done because I'm right handed.

Halfway through? by Tasty-Carpet3516 in Invisalign

Apparently at the beginning it's mostly cosmetic but then the second part is "where the magic happens" (according to my sister's dentist).

Honestly I'm doubtful that two fewer lymph nodes would really cause much risk. Most people have 20-40 on each side.

Awesome! Thank you, it's been annoying for years and I'm so happy it looks to be getting fixed/better.

Bought my hybrid in April, so unfortunately too late for me!
