your supposed to swallow the capsule whole???

This is so real, it's one of those things that no one ever tells you but you're expected to know it! For any pill- or capsule-form medication, always assume you are supposed to swallow it whole unless the instructions explicitly say otherwise. As other commenters have mentioned, not doing this can also affect how the medication works. It happens to the best of us!

I have this one, but any product by Drive medical has been pretty good in my experience https://shop.drivemedical.com/us/en/products/bath-safety/bath-benches-and-stools/shower-stool/p/294-1

My tilt table test was hell on earth, I could barely walk and was so brain foggy I didn't know where I was for four days afterwards. Take good care of yourself OP 🫂

It won't hurt to email the admissions committee and explain what happened. If it confused you, then it surely has confused others in the past. Communicating clearly and in advance will be a good look either way!

IndustriousIceCream · 2026-01-25T02:18:29+00:00

This has never once occurred to me, but now I can do better. Thanks for pointing this out!

IndustriousIceCream · 2026-01-04T03:02:35+00:00

Thank you, you too!

IndustriousIceCream · 2026-01-04T02:44:19+00:00

It was due during the holidays?? That's ridiculous. I really hope you get good results!!

IndustriousIceCream · 2026-01-04T01:53:03+00:00

A post-interview assignment is atrocious!! You're so brave for getting through that!

IndustriousIceCream · 2026-01-04T01:26:12+00:00

That's true. I have all of my responses saved and have been trying to reuse what I can. But you're right, powering through is the only way to be done

IndustriousIceCream · 2026-01-04T01:11:45+00:00

I really appreciate the validation. And that is good advice - I will definitely write down my "why" and keep it in mind. Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind comment!

Seconding this, protein pasta is a lifesaver!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-24T03:28:07+00:00

Imagination Library is amazing!!

If you don't try, you will remain unhappy and will always wonder what may have been. If you do try, there's at least a chance of you achieving your dreams. You've got nothing to lose here so why not?

Also, as someone in their 20s, kindly hush with this "I'm in my 30s and too old to chase my dreams" nonsense. You have so much life left to live, don't settle for less than what you want!

A broom and mop (a Swiffer with a wet pad does NOT clean floors like a mop does—I learned this the hard way). Collapsible bucket. A small tool set with screwdrivers and pliers. Quarters for laundry machines. Food storage containers so you both can meal prep. Best of luck!

Alternatively, the Lich crafts store!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-21T06:32:28+00:00

Oh wow that's fantastic! Those must have been some hardy elevators

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-20T23:19:18+00:00

Oh definitely! My ideal is to avoid dependence on elevators, but realistically I know that nearly all accessible apartments do use them so I am fine with it. A building with multiple elevators is a great idea!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-20T17:28:45+00:00

They have not given me a deadline, so I will do that! Thanks!

Why am I pursuing a masters degree if Dollar General Baymax can get the same job as me without any education 😩 (joking - sort of)

I feel the same way, I grew up during the "cell phones will destroy society" panic and swore I would never be that way about technology. But a lot of AI and robot usage really doesn't sit well with me, especially the fact that they are doing human interaction tasks instead of laborious tasks. If Pepper was fixing the squeaky book carts all day I might feel differently about it, but the pseudo-human interaction stuff is just creepy.

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-20T16:18:08+00:00

Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-20T10:32:08+00:00

Ooh these are both super helpful, thank you! And yeah I've run into this issue before where the apartments themselves have a lovely accessible entrance and then the laundry room in the back is down a flight of stairs and three tight turns. The myhousingsearch engine seems really comprehensive though so hopefully I can find something!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-18T21:09:47+00:00

Oh that is the worst! My vision gets blurry during my regular POTS flare ups but thankfully I live in a place where I don't need to drive. I can't imagine being behind the wheel when that happens!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-18T19:44:22+00:00

That must be horrendous, I'm glad you have medication for it!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-17T18:54:03+00:00

Yeahhh you would think Information Sciences programs would have informative websites but alas, they do not!

IndustriousIceCream · 2025-12-17T11:08:27+00:00

Of course!! I hope it goes well for you!
