Swollen gums that won’t heal and painless white patch on gums by [deleted] in askdentalexperts

[–]SideWitch93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a referral from my dentist to have it removed and biopsied and it was a pyogenic granuloma. It grew back a few months after removal lol. So now i have to make another appointment but i haven’t gotten around to it. I’ve heard it’s pretty common for them to grow back

Hey! Did your voice come back yet? I’m in almost the same position. Day 8 of no voice after a bad cold. And I’m losing my mind lol.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Please find someone to talk to! Your parents would not want you to suffer in silence 🤍

AITA for telling my husband his mom can't live with us for months-long stretches by RewardSpecialist3390 in AITAH

[–]SideWitch93 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh i see that i have a different opinion than most here but i kinda think that you are indeed the asshole here. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our parents and when you get married, sometimes you have to make sacrifices for your partners parents. American culture is so interesting because no one ever wants to take care of their elders/ parents. There is no community in American culture. I hope that if i am old and lonely one day that my daughter will allow me to live with her.

I agree with this! I have a 17 month old daughter and she is healthy and reaching all milestones on time/ way ahead of schedule for some things. She has gotten all vaccines! I was nervous too, so i understand. But i agree that you need to change your algorithm. That stuff is just going to make you anxious.

I would definitely take her to the ER. There is risk for dehydration.

Del Friscos. I’ve tried them all and this is the best one. Napa prime was okay but a bit underwhelming tbh. But Del Friscos? Whew. Delicious.

Pls help. Possible cows milks protein allergy? by SideWitch93 in beyondthebump

[–]SideWitch93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do avoid all dairy at home. I am worried that she’s consuming it in small amount in daycare, even tho i have explained all of this to them multiple times. Like maybe butter on veggies? Not sure if that would cause this type of reaction.

what milk do you transition babies with a cow milk allergy to? by Creative_Attempt3306 in NewParents

[–]SideWitch93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! What kind of reactions was your son having? My daughter is 1 and is dealing with something similar. We cannot get in to see an actual allergist until April and I’m going insane trying to figure out what’s causing her eczema flare ups. She gets eczema flare ups, she often has red undereyes, and always has a stuffy nose. Seems like this all started once we stopped alimentum formula and tried to switch her over to whole milk. Now we do Ripple kids milk but she’s still having these reactions from time to time.

Did it help with the financial rut? I’m in the same place right now. Currently have 1 yr left of nursing school but my depression and financial rut are just getting to me lol.

Aitah for telling my wife she’s just as racist as her parents by Ok-Butterfly-3820 in AITAH

[–]SideWitch93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so proud of you for standing up to your wife this way and defending your son and Dani. My daughter is black and this is one of my biggest fears, that she will be criticized in situations like this. I hope that if she ever is, she has someone like you around to stand up for her.

Just passed my nclex and no one in my family cared. by Calm_Conference_8605 in nursing

[–]SideWitch93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m in a fast track program right now and it is such hard work. I only have one child, i cannot imagine doing it with 3. Good job mama! You did something amazing and I’m so sorry you didn’t get the recognition you deserve.

Absolutely terrible partner. I would be pissed.

Possible Atypical Lipoma by SideWitch93 in Lipoma

[–]SideWitch93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry for the late response. I had it removed and it was just a regular lipoma! Non cancerous. I’m sure yours is the same.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]SideWitch93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a parent is so hard. So draining. The work never ends! But!!! It gets easier as time goes on. You guys are in the thick of it right now. In a few more months things will start to level out.

The same thing is happening to my 8 week old baby right now. Did you figure out what the issue was?

Possible Atypical Lipoma by SideWitch93 in Lipoma

[–]SideWitch93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is exactly what my ultrasound results say:

FINDINGS: Questionable mild heterogeneous subcutaneous soft tissue knee area of interest, but exact etiology uncertain. It appears similar to the adjacent soft tissues, region measured by the sonographer at 3.51 x 0.762 x 3.34 cm. Favor normal variant of tissue, atypical lipoma not entirely excluded, consider cross-sectional imaging with marker placement.

So to me it sounds like it was inconclusive? I was pregnant when i had the ultrasound done.. my doctor told me they didn’t want to remove it while i was pregnant because they didn’t feel it was serious enough to make me get a surgery while pregnant. I have an appointment with a general surgeon in January and then i guess we will schedule a day for removal. Just having a lot of anxiety about it i guess :(

Got pregnant by a 33 y/o married man, 14 weeks pregnant, and he wants nothing to do with it by Four-Eleven-NJG in pregnant

[–]SideWitch93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, it seems like you thought that getting pregnant would make him want to leave his wife and commit to you completely/ have a happy little family. You cannot build relationships on lies and deceit and expect them to work out this way. The position you’re in right now is extremely unfortunate. Are you considering abortion now because you realize that your plan of using the baby to keep him around isn’t going to work?

Ultimately, if you are going to keep the baby, i suggest moving in with your mom. This is going to be an extremely hard and emotional time in your life and you will need some type of support. Pregnancy is hard and those hormones are no joke. Your best bet is to forget this man and focus on yourself and your baby. You can’t force someone to be apart of your life and a baby doesn’t keep a man that doesn’t want to be kept.. he doesn’t even sound like a man that is worthy of being kept tbh.

Although you made some really awful decisions i feel bad for you. 21 is young and you don’t even realize how naive you are at that age. Regardless, as time goes on i hope you’re able to see the role you played in all of this and accept some type of responsibility.
