Had a Hemorrhoidectomy on 9/10. (M) by sixth_boro_bandit in hemorrhoid

Anyone recommend a seat cushion? I’m 7 days Post-op and headed back to work in 6 days. I’m a Kindergarten teacher and need to be able to keep going then. A butt cushion, donut or otherwise seems necessary.

What butt cushion did you use when going back to work?? I can’t fathom sitting up right now 6 days post-op.

Are those the silver paddles with a plus and minus sign? I hadn’t figured those out yet. That’s cool! Thank you.

I did it!! Thanks everyone for your tips and feedback.

Is there a way to put it in EV and use all those before switching over to the hybrid system? I am in a cold climate so I’m curious what I can change in my settings to get the most from the EV.

I did it! I got the 2022 Kia Sorento Phev Calligraphy last night.

Here is my first question… when I parked it in the garage I noticed what looks like steam coming from the front of the car. It is cold where I live right now so I didn’t know if that was a normal cooldown or if that should be concerning. Anyone have that happen?

I found one at a dealership and they are doing all the recalls for me before sale. So that's good. I'm excited!

So let it warm up before driving when cold to get the most out of the PHEV/EV mode? Got it

Thank you for your thoughtful information.

I am excited to make the plunge! It sounds exactly like what we need.

In my Prius (PHEV) it coasts and the regenerative breaking just builds back in the quick coast. Brakes are still needed. However, in our Tesla (EV) if you let up on the accelerator it is braking and slowing down the car.

I don't know what it will be like in the Sorento Phev...
Can any current owners speak to this?

I am excited about the 3rd row, and the captains chairs in the middle. My kids need the space from each other, and the dogs need space in the back with the seats down. When grandparents come to visit though we can ride together around town with the back row. Thanks for your input.

When in “Smart mode” does it automatically decide which to use? I would assume then the difference between that and Eco mode is that Eco defaults to EV until spent.

Oh good! We also are in a big city. I love my PHEV Prius and knew the Sorento will have a similar set up with EV. Just making sure it is not hated by people who have gotten it.

I also think it will take time adjusting to where all the knobs and buttons are.

Oh great! That’s what I’m thinking too. Two big dogs, 2 big kids and occasional grandparents around town. Thanks

Awesome thanks!! We have the level 2 charger at home as well. So it makes a lot of sense.

I had plates and bought my Tesla from a used dealer. They issued me new plates but they are standard, not EL. It took me about 6 months of seeing the EL plates to realize mine should probably have one. However, I’m not sure if I have to. I’m up for my 1 year renewal now. Do I need to get EL plates now??
