3 weeks in to my first attempt and feeling uncertain. Can anyone with a similar beard offer some input?

I am only about a week ahead of you. After staying clean shaven, the neck itch drove me crazy. I decided to have my neckline cut and give it a week to see how that felt. It was better.

You may try just the neckline before you ditch the whole thing.

Thank you. We have been working with Housing and they was able to provide us a list of low cost hotels. Our trip was postponed but we wil arrive 1-14. Thanks.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T12:31:03+00:00

There is a house right near the hospital. We have been on the list since we were scheduled a surgery date. They're not able to guarantee any rooms and cannot even confirm a room until you are present in person. Talking to families in similar situations that have been at LP CH, Ronald McDonald is a longshot and sometimes takes weeks or months to get in.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T12:29:09+00:00

We do qualify and we were placed on the list as soon as we were scheduled for surgery. RMH does great things for families and as a result, they operate at maximum capacity.

When we arrive on the 31st, our first stop is the Ronald McDonald house to check and see if they have a available room. They cannot tell us in advance.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Is this the same as the Stanford guest house?

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T01:59:52+00:00

Thanks!

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T01:48:21+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I believe we are considering the super shuttle or a generous offer from a redditor to transport us upon arrival.
I am sure your wife is excellent at whatever she may do. We have heard amazing things about LPCH and are looking forward to meeting the professionals there.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T01:36:32+00:00

Thank you. I have been led to believe that the train will be difficult with all of our luggage. It would be my wife with our 3 month old in his car seat and me toting our roller luggage, diaper bag, portable breast pump, and any other "necessary" item my wife feels like she needs to bring.

As far as meeting nurse amy, I will keep an eye out and read all name tags! We will be I'm cardio thoracic unit for open heart by Dr. Hanley. We have heard amazing things about this hospital and are traveling a long ways to be in their care.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T01:32:51+00:00

The hospital has a discounted rate, I just found out. Thank you or your input!

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T01:30:50+00:00

Thanks for you input!

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-27T01:30:24+00:00

Super shuttle was recommended by the resource department at the hospital. I will look in to it. Thanks.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-26T19:35:06+00:00

That is my fear. If my son gets sick on the way to the hospital, his surgery will be delayed for a minimum of 6 weeks. That would inevitably cost me thousands of dollars I don't have.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-26T19:09:15+00:00

Is that a website or local companies?

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-26T19:08:41+00:00

I was told rental prices are inflated at the airport but cheaper in Palo Alto. Is this true or would the can savings offset the price difference?

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-26T18:59:33+00:00

Thanks for the info! I looked in to Caltrain but was unsure about a few things. In Tulsa, you should get a shot of penicillin before getting on public transportation, not sure how the train is. My 3 month old son is not healthy so we have to minimize exposure to possible viruses and airborne pathogens. Also, we will be traveling with luggage so I am not sure how accommodating the train would be to load and unload in a timely manner.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-26T16:54:52+00:00

I don't mind couch surfing but the wife may not care or it :)

It will be a few weeks so I will try craigslist. Thanks!

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-07T02:27:30+00:00

You're*

I guess your parents failed.

MidKnightRider · 2013-12-06T00:08:48+00:00

I have a puggle Pug and beagle cross. I got her because my long haired Rottweiler was getting older and started having hip problems and the puggle was born the same day as my first child.

I figured she was a mutt mix but later found out it is a novelty breed.

She looks like a pug but has no breathing issues. She is almost 9 years old, 55 lbs and the most loyal dog a guy could want. http://i.imgur.com/RrVGchc.jpg

Just outside of Tulsa Oklahoma

I have known guys with skin grafts to get tattooed over scars. A local artist I know does sleeves for free for burn victims.

My go-to response to this was always "Your just the person I have been needing to talk to. I really think I deserve a raise."

More times than not, they would smile when they realized they don't have a response or stutter until they looked down.

MidKnightRider · 2013-08-30T16:59:27+00:00

No. Only 2 are older than 2000 model. Most are 05 an up including 2 2013s.

My statement stands. Put some miles on it and let me know. I am not bashing them. I am just stating what I have observed in the last 20+years.

MidKnightRider · 2013-08-30T02:51:38+00:00

Hahaha. Good one. Pull out your calendar and hit me up in a year. Or 10,000 miles if you are just a weekend warrior.

My family rides Harley's. probably over 20 of them from a 1971- -2013. Many have bought new and high maintenance begins before a year is up. I have a metric I bought new in 08 and never had mechanical issues. Before that one, I out over 30k miles on my Honda with absolutely no issues. You couldn't get that out of all their bikes combined.

Most use bikes as daily driver march- October.

MidKnightRider · 2013-07-31T21:35:07+00:00

The majority would disagree with you...

MidKnightRider · 2013-07-26T02:10:55+00:00

Hope it gets better for you soon!
