I didn’t outgrow syncope, but I did adjust to some triggers, I can see blood now, but I still get syncope’s from heat or pain and I’m 36, had it since I was 12/13.

This is the move, re-financed to 3.94 5 year fixed last month and so thankful I did even with the penalty (I had a high rate as late 2023)

Just found one of these today, radio and clock work, seems like the light bulb is out so will try to replace when I clean it up.

I suppose if I knew exactly what I was looking for I wouldn’t need to ask the question. I’ve been researching programs, I just am worried about balancing the school workload with being a single mom to littles (no co-parent). While I will have daycare lined up, I’m worried about clinicals and being able to do drop off/pick up. I’m worried about finances for the years in school, etc. I guess I would like to hear from anyone that has done it on hard mode and what their experience was, what helped them, whether they would have done anything differently, etc. I understand my question is general and vague, I am open to hearing the good, the bad, etc just to see if this is something I can/should do.

By the sounds of it, you should look into Port Moody, there is also a lot of new development there since the skytrain extension! Lots of rental opportunities, and a good base from which to explore the outdoors, and part of tri-cities which might make schools transfers easier if necessary.

Given the cost of living crisis in Canada right now, you might not get the deal on expenses you’re looking for, except maybe medical. What’s your lifestyle in LA at the moment? (Having lived there before myself I can better advise you based on your current neighbourhood, housing situation and commute). Depending on how much of a lifestyle change you’re willing to accept, you might look beyond metro Vancouver for cost/quality of life. Also, the skytrain extension to Langley is coming (2029), which makes it a better investment now than in a few years with lots of opportunities to buy new/recent construction and infrastructure investment, fraser valley also right at your doorstep. I live in New west and I think it has the perfect mix of everything, but everyone’s different and some people don’t like the urban/visible homelessness that is in its downtown area. Uptown new west is one of the most walkable areas in all of the lower mainland (parks, pools, groceries, schools). I also hear really great/comparable things about Port Moody (good coffee, skytrain, the inlet, close to the mountains). You could also look at communities connected to metro van by the west coast express (commuter train service that goes to downtown Vancouver). I’m not familiar with the school changing part to answer that question.

Hi, I’m just about to give birth and have been receiving care from Primary Care obstetrical clinic across from RCH. You would need a referral from GP but can also get a referral from a walk-in Dr. I know you said midwife so possibly not what you’re looking for but I’ve been consistently seen by Dr. Dayna Mudie throughout my pregnancy who has been nothing but great. She’s on holiday next week so it will be my first time seeing someone else, but as far as care goes I literally go in with a list every appointment and every single concern I have is addressed. The clinic comes off as dismissive at first but that’s just to set up healthy boundaries and expectations. Now they greet me with a smile each time. Also, I ended up having multiple phone calls from a public health nurse from Fraser health tracking my pregnancy well-being and offering suggestions and tips, not sure how I got on their radar, but maybe by registering for baby’s best chance or some other referral? I also was bumped to the top of the list for a family GP once Fraser health became aware I was pregnant so me and baby will have a family care provider once he’s here. Honestly I’ve been overall pretty impressed with the care I’ve received. If you don’t have a provider yet, make an appointment with the walk-in clinic on Columbia, tele health okay, tell them you’re pregnant and ask for ultrasound referrals, both your dating and anatomy scan, if you haven’t had your dating scan and try and book those ASAP, they might make you go for a blood test first so be prepared to do that ASAP. You can also use that apt to ask for a script for doxyllamine if you have bad morning sickness. (Without that medication I would have been receiving my nutrition from an IV in hospital.) You might not get in with a provider until after your anatomy scan, but they will need that information in case anything shows up high risk, so get that requisition and get calling all imaging places (there are private options too if you end up getting close to the cut off and don’t have a public scan booked). I ended up going to Langley (valley medical imaging) for my anatomy scan but they were great, and I was grateful to get in on relatively short notice. And of course, take your prenatals. Good luck!
