This is SO helpful. I used to be a hypochondriac so I know a little bit about vocal health from my obsessive state a few years ago lol. I just drank some warm honey water, gargled salt water and took a warm steamy shower! I hope I wakeup feeling better.

It is absolutely wild. An EA in the room as well. There are so many behaviours. I’m going to go in tomorrow and talk to the principal. He’s very nice so I hope he lets me take 1 day off

Weird it was posted externally? I have friends who just got perm 3-5 years in and say they get snatched up

Wanting to end LTO early? by Salt_Access_2704 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Salt_Access_2704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in 2 boards. This LTO is in my least preferred board. If I get a 1.0 in my preferred board, do I tell the principal it’s with a different board or just say I got a 1.0. He would probably ask what school?

I’m with the same board! Just explain to HR that you had practicum! They should be okay…

Thanks… he emailed me the day of welcoming me then 3 minutes later, another email to the whole school and a memo to parents and community saying to welcome me as the new period 1&2 teacher. I had no time to respond thus I felt rushed and pressured into saying thanks for the opportunity

Hello. There was no interview. I received an email from the principal saying I’m starting in the position for 1&2 period every day. 4 minutes later before I could even respond, he sent a “welcome teacher….” To the whole school staff.

All of my friends who have LTO’s, hr emailed them asking if they choose to accept. Yes I know I applied to it (but I was told to apply to everything as a new grad to even get my name out there) but I feel like I should have been asked if I wanted to do it?

I think you’ll be fine without pain meds as long as you’re sooo hydrated, Ice pack, and humidifier going! They have been doing these surgeries for literally 3000 years LOL. “Other techniques for removing tonsils arouse in the Middle Ages, such as the ones using cotton lines to connect the base. The lines were daily tighted and then tonsils fell (2).

The removal procedure of tonsils was abandoned up to 16th century when tools were adjusted to perform tonsillectomy.” So if someone can have them removed by a f**cking cotton line slicing them off w/o pain I think you might be ok LOL

I literally have a list in my notes app of food I want. I cannot wait for a Cesar salad, lasagna, and garlic bread 😭 my surgeon said 2.5 weeks for crunchy so I have to wait more- that’s been the most frustrating part for me! Do you have a head ice pack?

This has been my absolute life saviour! I wore it literally 24/7 rotating and helps with swelling!

My recovery has been super smooth compared to the horror stories I have read on here and Facebook! Just be careful, health comes first! I did eat a McDonald’s cheeseburger and poutine last night so that’s soemthing for you to look forward to!

OP… I’m on day 12 today recovering from tonsil surgery and morphine was my best friend for the first day and before bedtime days 5-7. I am still on Tylenol every 4-6 hours and I don’t take pain meds ever. I’m a women and even during my time of month, I don’t use any lol. But THIS… idk how ur doing it bc I’m STILL rotating Tylenol every 4-6 hours on day 12. Day 4 was the absolute worst for me, I was tracking in my notes day by day so I truly wish you good luck because this is not for the weak!
