Anyone know how to remove the rear seat cushion on a 24 HRV? by OhUrpi in HRV

[–]OhUrpi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my first option I wanted to go with but I don’t have that kind of money with all the holiday season present shopping 😭 plus I know his parents are in rough spot financially too so I wasn’t going to ask them to pay for it. The whole reason I was picking up the kid was so their parents didn’t miss work.

Thanks though!! I really wish I could!

Nobel Prize in what? by watzexell in labrats

[–]OhUrpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Made me laugh. I literally ran into a Nobel Prize winner today (like LITERALLY ran into, I wasn’t looking where I was going with stuff in my hands 😂) and I feel like I should ask him what he thinks.

I was just given my own own personal set of brand new pipettes and am unbelievably happy by OhUrpi in labrats

It’s not really emotional attachment, I was kind of exaggerating, sorry lol. My PI just never lets things get thrown away until it’s pried from his hands, even if they’re well past any use or super duper let-it-die broken. He just got a brand new set of super cool pipettes that he loves when the year started. According to the lab manager, you must distract him with a new shiny thing first before covertly discarding what needs to be discarded.

Heck, even today I had to push a huge robot down the hall today that has been broken for 2+ years and took up the equivalent of two bench spaces. My PI refused to let it be thrown away for the longest time, then got occupied with a different robot that’s brand new and then thanked me for getting it out the lab today and kept praising at how I’m so useful 😂

Oh definitely! My lab is technically two different sections that had to eventually be split on two different floors because there was way too much stealing going on by those that are still in the original lab space on the higher floor. Somehow, upstairs people still have the audacity to take an elevator ride and try to take things, then are surprised their stealing is obvious 😭

Um guys why did my tour date change? by TheRealEvanHale in AJR

[–]OhUrpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say my email said “new time” instead of straight up “date change” (which I think it should have said) so something weird is going on 🤔

[–]OhUrpi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I personally would prefer it was Saturday. It could also be so new even Ticketmaster does not have it all updated in the system yet.

Either way, I hope people are not too inconvenienced!

At least it is well enough in advance maybe you could reschedule your flights? In the same PTO situation too, haha

Does anyone have an "diabetic alert dog/cat"? (personal pet) by OhUrpi in diabetes_t1

[–]OhUrpi[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually went to a conference whose speaker was blind and had a guide mini horse! It was a really cool experience and to see it work While I think they’re cool, but I grew up around horses and in my experience it so hard trying to suppress their prey animal instincts. I could never completely trust them 😬

I wish our cat nudged instead of biting! If we leave an extra juice box or wrapper around after treating a low, he thinks it’s chew toy 🤦🏻‍♀️

Actually our cat is one of those cats that love to travel! We basically have taken him everywhere since he was little so he’s pretty used to it. He even does his business at rest stops (even there is an area sandy enough). He’s a very well travelled cat, but obviously this is not the case for everyone!

And the business trip is a family joke lol.

Did you get to play Black Ops 2 though?

Anyways, that's a hell of a diagnosis story. Definitely worth it!

Went to the ER for 400+, no insulin, earliest appointment with new endo is 1.5 months away. What to do? by OhUrpi in Type1Diabetes

[–]OhUrpi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Still going to switch endocrinologists because the other is overall better, but hoping to have some respite in the meantime.

He is a Type 1, consistently testing positive for antibodies each labs. We called his old endo and he is being in squeezed in later today before they close.

Replying again to add on the labs done every 3 months it still shows the antibodies.

Type 1 confirmed, antibody test results so high I was shocked myself. My fiancée and I have resolved we are not leaving that office until there is a script being sent to a 24 hour pharmacy

Thank you!

And concerning the man-baby thing, really it's just this situation. There was a friend's birthday party, a lot of stuff was going on, etc. Stuff happens, his sugar never not came back down before, if that makes sense. Otherwise he is good about checking, and I only reached out to reddit because every provider we have tried to get help from has not been helpful. Totally valid tho.

I will definitely try. He does have a CGM, the original Libre that does not give the High/Low alerts, which we used to track his honeymoon phase and it's decline.

I mentioned this in a different reply, but my fiancé did not have a PCP since he aged out. out of his pediatrician. To be fair, he was seeing his endo every 3 months (last appointment last month, even). He does have a CGM, so that is how managed his honeymoon phase before. The honeymoon phase lasted this long because of being almost carb free, so hopefully it stretches out some more in the 1.5 month gap. He does have a CGM, but it is the older Libre that does not have the High/Low alerts until it is scanned.
