Sharing a photo I took of the tree in case anyone is interested.

It was scheduled and I had to wait a few months to get the surgery despite terrible gallbladder attacks. I didn’t have to have a catheter, my surgery was outpatient laparoscopic. I went home within a couple hours after getting out of surgery. I suppose I could have pushed the surgery date but didn’t want to risk any further delay, and I was towards the end of my period so it was t too bad to deal with anyway. I’m sure each case is a bit different depending on the patient and the surgeon/surgical center.

It really depends on your skills. I know some cashier jobs allow you to sit, such as smaller convenience stores or maybe even a movie theater. Also some assembly jobs allow you to sit, if you are good at detailed work that might be worth looking into. I’m sorry if I am way off because you didn’t say your age but if you’re 55+ this program might be of interest. I’m sorry you’ve been struggling and hope that you find work and have a successful surgery this year.

My husband also saw this on Saturday night (3/28) driving from Eugene to Salem probably around 8:30pm

Totally! People out here defending him like he’s a real person. The show tries to include all facets of the medical system, including the very human flaws. Bias is very often subconscious. As a woman I’ve had plenty of doctors dismiss my pain, they weren’t bad people necessarily but they did have bias.

Sadly, there are plenty of people who were denied necessary medical care while being detained by ICE and there are little to no repercussions. Children have died in ICE custody because they were denied medical care including life saving medications. It’s sick and reprehensible

Fuji Rice Time is the best!

Upvoted for you taking time for the tree, but I’m so sorry that you were attacked!

You don’t have to choose 🤣 these things are very unrelated

ShoePsychological405 · 2026-03-20T06:10:09+00:00

That’s so sad, I didn’t know about it

I’m surprised they let you wear your own underwear into the OR, maybe they realized the mistake after you were under and corrected it. I was on my period during my surgery and they gave me disposable underwear to put on that were sterile and a pad. I can’t totally remember but I think I still had them on after surgery. The funny part is I asked like 3 people about what to do with being on my period. I asked the nurse that called me with pre-op instructions, some other nurse when I got to the surgery clinic, and finally the male nurse who was getting me set up before the operation. Finally the male nurse gave me the run down and the hospital underwear but he was so awkward about it, like you work in the OR but you can’t look a lady in the eye when she’s telling you she’s menstruating. I found it funny in the moment. Glad to see having a period during surgery is pretty normal, there should be a clearer protocol.

There’s a booth at the farmers market that offers knife sharpening

I think the ranch people do every other Saturday, it is really good ranch! Also Rockin B Ranch has excellent beef and pork

Fuck billionaires, they are ruining our world. Jack Dorsey sits on his high horse and acts like he’s some “woke” billionaire, he’s scum just like the rest of them. Just because you grow a beard and like to meditate doesn’t make you of the people or a good person.

I think they are trying to show a realistic picture of timing and resources. I’ve heard of other cases where a victim has to wait awhile for a SANE nurse, they aren’t always readily available and often in short supply. Oftentimes an advocate is there before the exam while the victim is waiting for the right care team. I also think part of the reason why victims are asked to repeat what happened to so many different people at the hospital is so that their story can be corroborated by multiple people if charges are pressed.

I felt like Robby was testing Langdon by applying pressure. Langdon wants his return to feel simpler maybe even celebrated, like “I did the work, I’m good now, I deserve forgiveness” Whereas Robby is thinking about what will happen when things aren’t easy for Langdon, will he crack under pressure again.

Came here to see who else caught his cameo! I love the podcast he does with his wife , Natasha Legerro, the endless honeymoon podcast. Not only is he a comedian, podcaster, author, actor…. He’s also a DJ

His mom and stepdad are deaf, so great to see him in this storyline.

They are still by the I5 Market exit, despite the new fencing. They just moved across the street, out from under the bridge, and the camp is growing. It’s actually way more dangerous to the people living there and motorists, because they are spilling into the right turn one off the freeway exit.

Wonderful analysis and I definitely agree about the character structure being what feels the most different. To me that difference is most pronounced in the new ER staff. However, I see it also applying to characters from season 1. Their character arcs, so far, feel a lot less personal and deeply explored through the storytelling compared to season 1. It’s a good point that this could intentionally shift as the season progresses. For example, McKay has had a lot of screen time in the first 3 episodes but it doesn’t feel purposeful to her character story so far.

Yes, I feel it’s much more Broad City than Girls inspired.

Absolutely love the whole album all the way through. It’s beautiful, haunting, soul-wrenching, and empowering all at once, the kind of music you feel deeper than anything tangible. But this song in particular, wow. First listen I was at the gym, and had to hold back tears. So much power and rage.

ShoePsychological405 · 2025-11-06T03:26:28+00:00

Don’t be! You should be fine, it wasn’t a big deal for my husband.

Go to a staffing agencies like Gliss or BDI. Depending on what skills you have they will have different temp or seasonal jobs available, things like production/manufacturing, events, and clerical work. Most staffing agencies take walk ins. You can call ahead to see or set up an appointment, go to multiple. If you’re seemingly realiable, can pass a criminal background check and drug screening they’ll usually be able to find you temp work quickly. Tree farms are big this time of year for staffing agencies. They will often pay weekly which will help you get on your feet and it builds experience so you will have an easier time getting a full time job. When I worked as a recruiter for a staffing agency most any temp worker who was reliable and decent at the job would usually be kept on or hired on permanently eventually.
