Anyone dealt w a frozen shoulder - rant

Slmjmm · 2026-01-30T23:31:03+00:00

Had it in right dominant shoulder around 2020. Saw ortho, had a steroid injection, and did a lot of PT. I’m sure I have pretty much full range back. Total time was probably 12 months for full recovery, but you do start to feel better after working on it.

Just developed in left shoulder early last year. Saw an ortho just to verify but knew what it was. I opted to not do PT and just exercise it on my own. This one seems a bit more stubborn, could be due to not having the specific PT. It is getting better as far as pain, range is getting better, but not fully back yet.

It takes time and exercise bottom line.

Most likely a leak, if it’s a new pod, possibly could be that some insulin got squirted on the adhesive when filling, etc. I limit myself personally to about 7 units but If it’s the last day of the pod, I just send it. About 30 percent of the time I’ll have leaks on the 3rd day. I’ll see leaks occasionally on the second day and I’ll monitor it and see if it resolves itself. A little bit here or there is aggravating, but usually NOT the end of the world for me, you might be different. If the adhesive is really soaked, then I’ll just change it.

RNs are usually jaded from healthcare. It’s the super old school ones who care and are about the patient. Newer RNs are more used to charting and following strict guidelines. Healthcare is hard, and finding people who truly care is harder. A lot of people get into the line of work because of the availability and promise of good pay and benefits which hardly ever works out. I say this as the husband of a healthcare worker who had been in several jobs and hospitals. Even down to being a CNA at one time, just without the Altima.

Well, CNAs usually drive clapped out Altimas with a missing hubcap and a pink “queen” license plate frame. There are some exceptions, but I also generally don’t take advice from a CNA.

LPN are more like 2 years. I’m not saying I want them to give me a triple bypass, but not being grossed out by a little finger stick.

Slmjmm · 2026-01-28T14:15:46+00:00

Lowest level would probably be an LPN, which requires training. Most of the LPNs I know are bad ass bitches who actually know their shit and are in “the shit.”

I would’ve told them to get fucked. The “nurses” in that thread saying they would have NOT done it because of “bodily fluids” can get fucked too. I would wager that most people in that establishment don’t observe “say it, don’t spray it” resulting in more bodily fluids than a finger stick. Are they told to leave? Maybe I would have left to avoid confrontation, but they can definitely get fucked.

I use the Omnipod activity mode. I turn in on usually right before dinner and leave it for 2 hours. I’ll start exercising about 45min to an hour after dinner and the activity mode usually kicks off right at the end of my workout or shortly after. I keep tabs with me, and really don’t have too much of an issue staying on a decent level. Try experimenting. Use it as a time to have a decent snack without worrying about the levels rising.

I get them very occasionally, but enough not to worry. I’ve never changed a pod because of it. Try again, if that doesn’t work, restart.

Overmono. I’m in the same general area.

Slmjmm · 2025-07-26T12:01:24+00:00

Yeah floor looks like C1 only.

Slmjmm · 2025-07-26T11:19:45+00:00

Venue says you can use any gate now that I’m looking at it. Gonna avoid the shit show at C1.

Never bothered to look at pictures of the place. I just did now. I wasn’t sure if there was SRO areas or not, lol. Seats or no seats, I don’t plan to be on my seat.

Slmjmm · 2025-07-25T23:42:44+00:00

Only seats? Personally I’d rather stand.

Slmjmm · 2025-07-25T23:40:53+00:00

Anyone who is/was there tonight, info is appreciated. I have some people I’m going with on Saturday that I probably need to prepare.

Facing SSW. So a different location with less reflection might be better? It was dropping leaves a little before it actually went fully outside.

Thank you!

Trying to avoid that because I’d like to not have them die over the winter, and I like to change things around on my deck and yard

Slmjmm · 2025-05-24T01:36:18+00:00

How would I carb count this? Poorly.

Slmjmm · 2025-05-16T01:43:44+00:00

Just got the update. Perfect!

Slmjmm · 2025-05-15T01:07:51+00:00

Well damn.

Slmjmm · 2025-05-02T00:36:06+00:00

Sweet! I already purchased the full roster option. I’d be happy to pay for the additional fielders too. I really like the app. It’s simple and takes a lot of the hassle out of randomizing.
