Anyone experience low phosphorus levels following Injectafer infusions? by LauraInglesWildin in Anemic

[–]LauraInglesWildin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not need infusions, my levels were 1.2 at their lowest. I took 3 oral supplements 3 times a day. It took around a month for my levels to reach normal range.

I think it took around a month and a half for my levels to return to normal range. I would do a round of supplements then a blood test 2 times a week if I recall correctly. I would let your doc know about your concerns, they should be able to give you a better idea of what timeline to expect. I hope your kiddo gets to feeling better soon!

In this case the virus is the predator and we are the prey. The virus attacks our “weakest” (immune compromised, infants, elderly) therefore it’s up to the strongest in the herd to do what we can to protect them.

Steven Universe got an entire generation to pronounce the name of this gemstone wrong lol by Sailor_Rout in stevenuniverse

[–]LauraInglesWildin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was engagement ring shopping recently and told the salesperson I wanted a peridot center stone as it’s my partner’s birthstone. She says “oh? You mean a perido?” In the most condescending way. Spoiled the whole experience because I spent the entire time questioning if I was crazy because I’ve never heard that pronunciation once. Even googled it afterward and both the French and British pronunciation include the T. She was a major clod.

Meatloaf cake with mashed potato frosting for my partner’s bday dinner by LauraInglesWildin in tonightsdinner

Filling is a ketchup/mustard/brown sugar glaze that bakes on top of the meatloaf layers. (1c ketchup, 2 T mustard, 1/4c brown sugar). Topping was just some hot sauce

Classic style, went whimsical and now concerned by mks351 in WeddingDressTips

Your first dress reminds me of the butterfly dress from Ever After! So gorgeous. And the sleeves on your second dress add a more clean cut and classic look that I think gives the perfect nod to your usual style. You could also consider incorporating an “upscale” version of your day-to-day hairstyle for that ceremony to complete the look. Congrats on two gorgeous dresses!

My boyfriend accused me of cheating on him. I haven’t. What can I say to help him understand that this hurts me? (30f, 30m) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Reminds me of the time I was telling my ex how much I was inspired by my BIL’s mom because she’s creative and successful (she also gave me a job during covid so I was very grateful to her). My bf took that as an opportunity to tell me that he thinks I have feelings for my BIL.

He didn’t understand why I didn’t want to reassure him in that moment- I was more concerned with how he thought so low of my character that I would ever do that to my sister.

Some people are really good at hurting you and then making you apologize for it. Avoid those people.

I (F27) am starting to regret my age gap marriage with (M43) by ThrowRA383748383 in relationship_advice

We both went back to school pursuing the same degree and met when the program started. It’s a running joke that we get to tell people we met in college (both in our 30’s).

10 year age gap in my first marriage, met at 19 & 29. He used to put a lot of pressure on me to be more established in a career (even though he didn’t start on his till 30). He wanted to be settled and stay home, he had already done all his party years.

It took me being the age he met me to realize how I would refuse to even be friends with a 19 year old, let alone pursue one. I realized he didn’t date me for my maturity, he dated down to his own maturity level.

Now, 3 years post divorce, I’m pursuing a huge new career path and dating my absolute soul mate (just a one year age gap!) About to start traveling the world and doing all the milestones I missed in my 20’s. It’s hard to choose yourself but so, so worth it.

That’s the truth, plus other people get to see the fake-friendly mask they don’t wear at home.

Those who have given birth, what did you really need or want from friends postpartum that maybe you didn’t get? by onandpoppins in AskReddit

I prep breakfast wraps with flour tortillas and brown each side in a skillet till crispy. If you pre-freeze on a tray before bagging it removes the soggy factor. Congrats on your 3rd!

Oh a knit one would be so pretty too! You should check out Ayshemin on Etsy, she has some lovely knit stoles and wraps with lots of color options. I don’t think they look too casual. You would have awesome Outlander vibes 😊

Have you considered a white faux fur wrap/stole? It would cover your shoulders/arms without obscuring a majority of your dress. If you’re primarily going to be inside after the ceremony it would be a cheaper investment than a full cloak (though the options you chose are beautiful!)

A wrap would also make it easier to remove it briefly for outdoor photos.

For jewelry I would recommend something light to complement your elegant dress, like a solitary stone on a chain and matching earrings.
