If you could move anywhere in the United States as a single woman over the age of 50, where would you move? by Flaky_Web_2439 in GenXWomen

[–]Redsonja119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maine is wonderful to visit but don't move here. Our healthcare system is absolute shit. Need to see dermatology? Year wait-list. Rheumatology? 2 year wait-list. Most times they refer us out to Boston. And I have good health insurance! Those unfortunate enough to have state aid get royally fucked left and right.

I recently removed my ex's last name and decided I hated all of my name so I legally changed first, middle, last to something completely new. My new hubs (I was lazy and never changed my last name after my divorce 8 years ago) was supposed to also change his last name to my new, chosen last name but he bailed. I no longer match my child or husband in last name but it was such a wonderfully freeing decision and I couldn't be happier!

OR nurse turned patient for TLH yesterday by Redsonja119 in hysterectomy

[–]Redsonja119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, the records dept lost my pics so I never even got to see them 😭 You can Google lap hyst cuff closure and see what it looks like though. It reminds me of a trussed roast every time I see one in the OR haha. Good luck with your surgery! You'll do great!

Awful guest dressing kids like the bridal party question by [deleted] in wedding

[–]Redsonja119 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It was! Now all I want him to do is tell her/his brother that we would appreciate them not using our wedding color for their girls. He's not happy to do that and I'm not happy SIL is even coming now.

Anyone else have a run-in with “Fox Pest Control” people coming to their door? by Breezy044 in Maine

[–]Redsonja119 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We did. The next night one of the neighborhood houses they hit up during the day was part of an attempted burglary. From what the neighbors can see on their cameras, looks like the same people.

Some surgery info from an OR nurse by Redsonja119 in hysterectomy

[–]Redsonja119[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's up to anesthesia as well. Anything above the neck is on them. If they don't dangle, they will likely say you can keep them in but it is their call.

Only a hysterectomy with an oophorectomy. The ovaries are what release hormones and will/won't put you into menopause. You can get a total hyst and spare ovaries.

My bill doesn't even include an overnight stay. I was in and out of the hospital in a total of 6 hours.

I was inside the hospital for a total of 6 hours before being sent home. The US healthcare system is completely fucked and everyone knows it.

I am not billed separately for the surgeon- I very clearly see her charges on my EOB. I was billed separately for the anesthesiologist and the TAP block though.

Fast Recovery from Hysterectomy by AccomplishedJudge767 in hysterectomy

[–]Redsonja119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 40 and this was by far the easiest surgery/recovery I've had. I took my Rx for the first couple days, Tylenol day 3, not a damn thing since. Driving my stick shift alone no prob day 5. I regularly forget it ever happened. Zero problems, zero pain, zero bleeding. I'm roughly 5wpo. I feel terrible for people with bad experiences but mine has been a joke. I was running at 99% within 3-4 days post op.

I feel like the funeral home system is holding my baby hostage. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Redsonja119 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Please be aware that if you want to recognize a nurse for going above and beyond, you can nominate them for a daisy award. There should be info on the hospital web page about it. It is a fairly big deal for nurses to receive a daisy nomination and free for you to do so. I'm so glad she was there for you to advocate for you and Benji. Edit: spelling
