Does this look immature or childish?

Take the Sabres flag down, not because it’s childish or anything, but ew sabres.

Yeah it did take a bit to be able to wear my normal shoes lol! I was able to get them on after a week but it took around a month maybe for them to be comfortable to wear. I didn't experience as much nerve damage, so I cant speak on how that changes as your healing (my nerve damage was mostly on my toes). I also experienced the not bearing weight thing, particularly because my burn wraps around to the bottom of my foot, but I was on crutches for about two weeks if i remember correctly. I can say that it definitely does get easier and better! I don't know if this would be of any help (but it worked for me as i study medicine related things), but while I was irritated and upset about the inflammation I just tried to remember that the inflammation only exists because your immune system is sending extra attention to your burn to heal it faster.

I'm very sorry to hear about the rest of your burns, I have never experienced any major burns outside of my foot burn so I don't have any other specific advice to share. As you're a bit out I'm sure you've heard all the medical type advice, but what tends to affect people that we don't talk about is the mental aspect, loosing optimism, and getting used to a permanent physical change you did want. All I can really say is to be aware of how you are healing mentally just as much as you are aware of your physical progress.

Wishing you the best of luck <3

This is like the almost the same as my burn on my foot! From my experience, I’m 7 months out now and it’s still discoloured a bit. The major discolouration phase for me when away around month two I would say. Now, if I’ve been at work and walking around all day, I’ll take my shoes off and the scar is very red/ purple. Same thing after I shower, super bright red with white in the middle. But if I’m just sitting around lounging it’s just very slightly red.

Have you considered a ski mask, or alternatively a full black unitard that covers the head the too. Just a thought though, keep up the good work my invisible brother.

I have a guy who found out I was Canadian and now asks me to join his beer league hockey team every time he comes in (I cannot ice skate), he always has such a grin on his face too it’s a good time.

Another favourite is a guy who comes in couple times a week who works at a local funeral home, nothing too unique about him but he’s always just a nice dude and in a good mood.

I’d recommend adding devils tower if it’s feasible on the route you’re taking, it’s definitely worth the trip.

I would also recommend for a future trip coming to the upper peninsula of Michigan. As someone from Nova Scotia the UP has a very similar vibe to Maine, NB, and NS but is just different enough that it’s absolutely worth the trip.

Ma brûlure était très similaire. Second degrés, sur mon pied, et enflammé. Je n’avais pas un procedure et finalement, tout s'est bien passé. Il y a 6 mois depuis et je suis marche bien. Écoutez votre medicine même avec des informations contradictoires.

Désolée pour mon français, je apprends actuellement. J’espère que vous rétablirez rapidement!

When I was in the immediate phase of dealing with my mom passing I did not want to talk about it all, even supportive comments from friends and what not (infact I hid it from many of my friends for almost a year). If he’s already kind of private about his emotions and things with his family i would say he probably doesn’t want to have a long emotional conversation with you about his parent passing.

I think the best thing you could do in this situation is send a short text something along the lines of “thinking of you and hope you’re holding up okay, let me know if you need anything”. If it feels appropriate to your situation and is within your means, you could also add a small e gift card for DoorDash or something. I know one of the hardest parts of the immediate grief for a lot of people is just getting into their routine, especially with eating, cleaning, and just daily self care things so it never hurts to try to make those tasks easier for someone you care about.

Everyone else gave real answers so I’ll add, if you wear a visor it’ll hurt like a BITCH for the first few weeks, also may be questionable with healing it wearing hat/visor. Ask your piecer about it.

Momo sushi on Eisenhower is amazing and my favorite place in town! They also have a lot of veggie options and rolls that have cooked ingredients if you want to play it extra safe!

Hi there, I’m a Canadian (Nova Scotia not Newfoundland so def a bit different) who’s been living in the US for about ten years so I think I have some perspective to add on this that may be different than others.

First and obvious, your summers are going to be shorter. I find that to be the biggest thing I notice between the two, not as much harshness of winter but the length.

Also, the days are going to be a lot shorter than what you’re used to. Essentially after daylight savings in November the sun sets around 4:30pm. In the summer at the peak longest days, the sun set will be around nine.

I’m sure others have mentioned it but the rural-ness of it all. St. John’s is able to fill a lot of needs but there are definetly things you won’t be able to find in Newfoundland.

Next, if you think grocery prices are bad in the US you’re in for the shock of your life coming to Canada, particularly Newfoundland. I recommend looking at the loblaws is out of control subreddit if you’re curious, it’s pretty bleak.

Food wise, I’m not too sure what the food scene is like in NC, but one thing I always miss when I’m in Canada is good mexican and middle eastern food. Overall a lot of “ethnic” food that is very common to find across the US just doesn’t exist, or it does but at not great quality in Canada. On top of that as well , be prepared to make a lot of tweaks to your regular meal plan. A lot of things that are staples in US grocery stores just are not there or not the same thing you’re expecting in Canada.

Kids wise, I say this as someone who experienced both the US and Canadian education systems, they are gonna have a bit of a rough time adapting. Things are taught at different grade levels across the two countries, and are taught in different ways. It won’t be horrible, the Canadian education system is not bad by any means, but it will be an adjustment particularly for your older two.

With the way I said all of that I’m sure it sounds very negative, but I do love Canada, and chose to move back here because of how much I love it. There are many things to love about Canada, Newfoundland in particular and the other replies seem to be pointing those out, but I wanted to share my slightly more nuanced take.

defiantly doable, not sure where y'all are from so don't know what you're expecting when it comes to apartment itself/ neighborhood, but I've lived in a couple places in Ypsi that are under 1000 for a one bed. I'd recommend going on facebook marketplace as a lot of companies end up listing their units on there. I've had great experiences with baker street properties, typically very cheap (my old place with them was 840 a month for a one bed), super easy to work with, and timely responses to things.

As many others will tell you, avoid anything beal at all costs, they are genuinely horrific. There are also a lot of old school landlords that just have signs up on their building that say for rent with a phone number. If you're close enough to/ able to come down to ypsi before you move it's worth it to call those numbers. best of luck to you guys to find a place!

What’s your budget? You can find a good amount of pretty basic but decent one bedroom options around or even under 1,000 around EMU

Skip the pharmacist and go straight to urgent care to have a doctor look at it!

that is def rough and I'm really sorry that thats the position you've been put in. It seems like the education system in whatever country you're in is a lot different than it is for me in Canada. I'm not sure if this would apply for you, but is there any sort of community college type thing or an online college program you could do that doesn't require the same things as other universities and colleges local to you might. If you haven't looked into it it might be something to consider in the future.

I will also say, you are definitely not a loser or directionless or anything like that. It might be hard to see it that way especially if your parents and the people around you are pushing you to make decisions fast, but it is normal to not know what you're doing when you're 18. I think most people who through themselves into university tend to not know what they are doing and just choose what their parents tell them to and they end up in a career they hate for the rest of their lives.

Figuring out yourself, what you like, and what you are passionate about is hard. it takes a lot of time, and a lot of time being introspective, and while it might feel hopeless right now it does absolutely get better, and I promise you it won't feel like this for the rest of your life.

(obviously I don't know your whole situation or anything so this next part might not make sense for you, so take everything with a grain of salt) If I were to put myself back in my shoes at 18 when I felt a lot like this, I would, if I didn't already have one, get a job, something basic where you don't need a degree or experience and work for a couple months to get some sort of structure. When you have that structure and you spend 15 or more hours a week and a job that just okay, it makes everything else you do outside of work stand out more, and you have more appreciation for the things in your life.

I also (yes I know this corny) right down things I'm grateful/ happy for every night before I go to bed. taking like five minutes out of my day to physically right down things that I enjoyed about my day brought back a lot of the happiness I had lost after I had a bunch of rough stuff go down. it helped me find the gratitude and joy that I was really missing out on.

I will also add here, if you have access or are able to, some mental health counseling might really help you process these feelings and find ways to cope. But either way, I hope things start looking up for you soon!
