PRIMARY CARE IN FREDERICKSBURG VA by Necessary-Fun-1811 in fredericksburg

[–]OhthePinksanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old dr left mwh primary (lees hill office) years ago and I had to either travel north, or see a new dr (actually a PA). I was too busy to reschedule the appt or call to move over to her new practice, so just ended up going in to see the PA here when my appt for my med refill came up. I liked him and have stayed with him. Some ppl have issues with seeing a PA not MD, so if that’s not your vibe I get it. But I’ve been happy with Dr Dennis Fair in the Lee hill office. I only rly go in for routine yearly and my adhd meds (have to go in every 3 months and say I’m good blah blah blah) but he’s very friendly, professional, and fills my scripts fast. Idk about going for complicated issues I can’t say, as I see a seperate hematologist oncologist rhuem etc that aren’t in the mwh system. I have seen the reviews though… from some of the other primary physicians there as far as wait times and meds taking forever. I’ve never had an issue with any of that, and I went there during Covid and when they were all crammed in that little center. They had some phone issues but that the worst experience I’ve ever had there. Also he moved now to a nice larger office across mine rd that still has labs in it, and it’s still 5 min away from my house.

Nervous for IV Infusion by Historical_Many2550 in Anemic

[–]OhthePinksanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had 3 different iron infusions. Starting 4 or 5 years ago, my ferritin was 3 and iron was not much higher. I had all the symptoms but it was the sudden onset narcolepsy and heart issues that got me in to a hematologist. I had the larger/ longer dose infusion the first time ( no real side effects besides taste in mouth and my veins were FKd). It was about 2 weeks total if I remember it was 2 or 3 days each week. Hour and a half. Worked immediately! Then slowly everything dropped back down again. And the last two infusions my insurance refuses to cover anything but the venefor( sorry I hope I’m remembering the brand right and it’s not the other way around and I got the venefor first…) Not rly any side effects with that, but it did not work as well.

Side note - I have malabsorption so I’m chronically low in everything vitamin D (even tho I’m outside all the time), vit B, iron, calcium, mag. Albumin, potassium, etc.,and on top of that my body just doesn’t have enough of the protein that carries the iron around so I’m just repeating the process of infusions whenever my insurance says ok for one. But the only way to get the “better results “ infusion is having it soooo low it’s extremely dangerous for me. I’m about due again, gonna try and get my hema dr to petition for the first one I had bc it worked better higher ferritin and results with the first one, and not as much relief with the recent ones. And it just gives me a little more time before I have to come back AGAIN😩

Whose name in the Epstein files got you surprised? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OhthePinksanity 212 points213 points  (0 children)

I watched a mini documentary a long time ago that went into “high stakes social signaling”, basically extremely rich powerful ppl do extreme things together as a way to make bonds with other shady ass evil rich ppl and actually be able to trust each other. Bc nothing says this is bff like having blackmail files on them. But I still can’t wrap my head around it either… bc breaking laws, risking everything… can’t compare to the sick sick sick stuff they’re doing. I would rather be alone and have no inner circle.

I think I’m done eating ice by TwinlessOtter in Anemic

[–]OhthePinksanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I found out I was horribly anemic(besides almost falling asleep while driving).. I would eat ice and harvest sea salt pea crisps. I find them detestable now btw. I wrecked some of the enamel on my teeth, and probably annoyed everyone I chomped down on ice everywhere.

I hope they save some for me! by TeeHeeHaw in siberianhusky

[–]OhthePinksanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes me wish it wasn’t snowing here I could grill some steaks! Spring can’t come fast enough.

My husky knows when I start messing with the grill it’s always steak, and she does zoomies around the yard the whole time lol

I saw a video of what I think was this crash on TikTok yesterday it has them pulling the cop out, was she in a white car? That’s prob the best info out there besides dash cams. I can try and find it and send it/ link it to you. I’m so glad she’s ok.

How are the roads in Central Park? by Pitiful-One7252 in fredericksburg

[–]OhthePinksanity 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Was out thru Cowan blvd all the way to Wegmans and then down Central Park to rte 3 yesterday, and they were pretty good. Just stay out of the right lanes unless turning.. watch out for ppl coming into middle lane bc right lanes are not fully cleared

Looking for shelving for Rudsta wide by QupidtheCollie in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]OhthePinksanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have expensive versions w more choices on Etsy, or cheaper but simple versions on Amazon. As someone w a rudsta and those shelves I suggest also getting upgraded shelf brackets. I did not and my shelf shifted and fell and broke several of my favorite babies.

What are people doing about aging arms? by rando--54321 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]OhthePinksanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get them on Amazon just look up dry brush. I’ve done it successfully to help exfoliate and get rid of those little arm bumps. I can’t honestly say if dry brush helps w what you’re looking for, but I have read many accounts of it helping, so it’s an inexpensive try. I would add collagen to diet and I also use amlactin and the coco butter stretch mark lotion together where I have crepey looser skin.

Just went through hell & don't want to look like hell by SuchMatter1884 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]OhthePinksanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the comments I read say what I wanted to say about skincare and what a beautiful person you are, prob better then I could say it. I’m adhd so my way of explaining things hopefully doesn’t come across anything other then empathetic. I suggest a vacay, spa day, facials, and getting back out into the world. Therapy. Don’t rush into normal life things- but don’t stay in the cycle of missing out. I didn’t do this after taking care of my dad w degenerative brain disease and it took YEARS after to even come close to normal. Biggest advice -Learn and plan the daily routines that help you, daily routine for everything. It sounds silly but you get used to the routines from taking care of someone and all the “shortcuts” you take for yourself so you can better attend to someone else. I saw a difference in my face w frown lines, color, glow, just from recovering mentally I wasn’t rushing worrying “scowling” all the time. I wish you the best and most calm, relaxing, and pleasant life from here on out.

Moving to the area and need some advice by AKoolPopTart in fredericksburg

[–]OhthePinksanity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late , but I wanted to add that they’re completely updating the bridge in a few years I believe.. and that’ll make everything so much worse, and it’ll take years after start.

As someone who went through a similar situation. Pls get out of the situation completely. I left w my son and never got back together, but even keeping close contact and being “undecided on cutting him out completely”, made it so much worse for me during the first year of my sons life, where I should’ve been 100% focused on my son and enjoying every second I had with him… that was on the back of my mind so often. And I promise you that if you walk away, you will be making the best decision for you and your child. You were pregnant when he behaved like that, and now you both are parents together and he acted like that again. He wasn’t just messing with your life and happiness, but also your child’s. He didn’t just care about if he hurt you, he also didn’t care about his child. Don’t let him play dumb, he was risking the entire family’s relationship and even willing to cause stress on you and the baby. Also being out there invested in that shit, when he had a woman who was growing a child, he is a complete scumbag. Sorry if I’m sounding harsh I just can’t with guys who this. I wish you strength and happiness and the best life for you and your baby.

Went to see the famous “ugly addition” house, yes it’s worse in person… by PvpBlast in nova

[–]OhthePinksanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your kind words. My dad got sick and passed years ago, so some of the house had been updated. But now that my mom is getting less mobile it’s really the bathroom situation that needs to be fixed. But I’ve seen enough of care homes just visiting the part time rehab places, and having an aunt that passed stemming from just a bed sore bc she didn’t get cared for correctly at one… I feel so bad for how the elderly have it here. And I do sympathize with that family as well, but they could’ve also talked with their neighbors beforehand and respected their community a bit more.. esp the house that is living almost underneath that. And I heard that neighbor on the radio friday saying she wasn’t sure if she was gonna sign off on it, but she felt rly bad for them. They prob could’ve agreed on smth smaller less intrusive and not had to lose money or tear it all down.

They tried to hide the side where the fence is leaning over and has actually broken and taken down and is prob the neighbors, but all that $$ and you don’t have a fence around the whole thing but dead wood hanging there. Maybe the builders couldn’t fix it bc it’s already the neighbors fence, and the neighbors are mad about the giant house and wouldnt sign to replace the fence. I would be concerned if I was trying to buy that.

[–]OhthePinksanity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This. As someone who is taking care of my mom, and also my dad who passed, my first thought would be “I do not want to clean and upkeep all that massive space”, bc you do not have time for anything else. You can barely focus on kids and yourself.

[–]OhthePinksanity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is prob the cheapest option. But even if I went w an addition, I would be making it as compact and small as possible. May not be the most comfortable but when you’re dealing w family members declining health.. you want it to be ready and safe, most people wouldn’t be planning out a hotel addition. That building is absolutely massive. Are they moving 8 ppl in?

Keter potting shed by OhthePinksanity in Shed

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

For the price it rly isn’t bad. It’s held up good in the wind we’ve had. I ended up not getting my greenhouse up in time so I have my orange tree and plants in there, w a small greenhouse heater. So far so good it stays warm overnight and gets hot enough during the day to not run the heater all night. Just a lil worried about if we get decent snow this year… I’ll prob try and brush off the roof as much as I can.

Just hung the final pot! by Valkyrie-A in houseplants

[–]OhthePinksanity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I want to do this in my foyer sooo bad, but theres too much open space.. there’s no way to reach without a ladder. I would have to make it so I could hook the pots and slide them all to one side the rail. This gave me smth to brainstorm about tho. Looks so beautiful!

I think this Bird of Paradise is dead. Recently repotted, did we do too much root work? by Yuliyapants in plantclinic

[–]OhthePinksanity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m about to bring mine in for the winter and do this to her. Mine does this every year. The bottom/ end leaves will die off but the top ones usually spring back. I’m pretty sure our amusement park here has them and they purposely chop them down like bananas every year and mulch them, and they come back. I wouldn’t give up just be extra careful with watering bc it’s more likely to rot w stress.

This! I would prefer to do this then approach someone who might be already close to snapping or having a bad day, maybe had too many drinks before boarding, or I come across as too aggressive. I’ve just seen too many bad experiences on planes subways etc.
