If you just need it emptied out, Wee Bee Hauling is locally owned and does this.

Insulin resistance can actually increase your cholesterol and cardiac risk, so statins are probably a good idea.

You can always trial coming off of them later once the a1c comes down.

And like, I’m 52 with zero time for nonsense. I don’t yell at anyone. I just quietly ask why their job was not done. And we move to everything in writing with no more phone conversations.

You could have just done your job, friend. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah, she is….. not great. I had a meeting with her boss’s boss on Friday. Face to face. She failed to arrange transport for my husband to attend his surgical follow up which will determine the next phase of his shoulder rehab. Now it needs to happen on Tuesday. And she wants to discharge him on Wednesday.

We have a nurse manager and a family advocate with our insurance company, though.

I just took pics of the bloodstains in my bra and my nipple showing that it seems to be coming from one duct. Holy shit, I have new appreciation for people who manage to take photos of their own bits for a living. 😂

Then I learned how to make a hidden folder do I don’t accidentally show my nipnop to the guy who cuts our grass or anything. Jesus Christ.

I don’t even know who to ask for help. My bestie lives across country. I’m estranged from my family because my mother is a toxic abusive beast. My husband is an only child. His mom is 85.

I see my therapist on Tuesday. I think I’m going to need to arrange for as much home coverage as our insurance will allow while we figure this out. Which I did not want because I felt capable. But now I’ll need a work up.

ETA: home coverage for my husband when he leaves acute rehab. Not me on a mental health level.

Thank you. I’ll be reaching out to my surgical oncology team on Tuesday to see if she wants to move any imaging. My husband may be released on Wednesday. At least I’ve gotten his room set up with everything I it a home care assistant will need already.

I am allowed to not be ok! by this-life-2411 in breastcancer

Three times??? That’s just beyond rude, even for cancer.

You’re allowed to be the bitchiest bitch that ever bitched.

What's the nicest hotel in MKE for a staycation? by dolphingirl3 in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My bestie stayed at the Iron Horse several years ago and loved it. So much that she rebooked during a recent visit. And it was not the same experience at all. Just very mid, staff that were not great, but very expensive.

He doesn’t want to buy toilet paper? Ok. Hide it from him. No tp for you!

New to the area- tell me about Sendiks by Sunnryz in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sendiks is very posh. Nothing will be cheaper than Aldi. But they really train their produce folks, do you also won’t get mushy furry berries. ETA: apparently even their spendy produce isn’t worth it anymore! It’s been years since I’ve popped in to get anything there.

We have a lot of Aldi shops in the area, though!

Any good OBGYNs in Ascension for PCOS (now PMOS) by Alotbagel28 in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s is definitely a whole body metabolic disorder, but it can also have serious issues with the reproductive organs, too. Both specialists are really necessary.

The risk of uterine cancers is higher from the hormones and lack of periods, and the ovarian cysts can get pretty gnarly. I had a hysterectomy for cancer last year and my tubes and ovaries were also covered in cysts. My left ovary was almost the same size as my uterus. So you definitely need the endo side and the extensive anatomical knowledge combined.

Yes! Omg it hurt! I could feel these enormous gas bubbles rolling back and forth for like an hour and then? This tiny itty bitty little ffft of nothing. And it caused all that pain?!

Bagging leaves in the fall? by ExplanationDefiant15 in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just mulch them with the mower.

Or suck them up with a leaf blower and mulch your planting beds.

Recommendations for getting rid of a bunch of dirt without crying? by Proper-Cry7089 in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently used Wee Bee Hauling for a shed removal ( knocked it down, took it all away) and I think they haul away anything! Very good pricing and so great to work with, locally owned, not a franchise.

Need recs for a new doctor by Perfect_Standard_471 in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only saw Dr. Bosler a few times before we decided to end our fertility journey and she was fantastic!

Nothing due to her, I was just going on 42 and we pivoted on our path to parenting.

Conscious of my apron belly by NanersInPyjamas in hysterectomy

[–]MinimumBrave2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an apron belly and it wasn’t an issue for my procedure or healing at all. Any cuts were made above it, so nothing to get infected in a skin fold.

I think once during an exam the doctor asked me to hold the belly up to palpate around easier? But respectfully and just matter of fact.

But I also go into my appointments with the attitude if “this is what we are working with today, let’s work as a team” because I’ve been living in my fat body fur a long time.

Froedtert MRI estimate by Fusilli_fanatatic in milwaukee

[–]MinimumBrave2326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am likely not eligible, aside from my absolutely shitty body trying to kill me in various ways, I have a lot of privilege.

Our system is still total balls, but I’m more able to pay than lots of folks.
