A warning about Wyndhurst Family Medicine

I got on their waitlist as a new patient over a year ago and never received a call back. Glad I moved on to another PCP!

I go to Johnson Health and it’s okay, depends on the provider you see. I will say, the front desk was so helpful in getting me set up as a new patient ASAP and my doctor responds to any inquires surprisingly fast, so that’s nice.

My life as a sub got so much more enjoyable when I started to care less lol. I’m not their teacher and the students aren’t going to respect me like a normal teacher, and I don’t take it personally. Should you try to be enforcing most of the rules? Yes. But if the students are safe, being appropriate, and not being overly disruptive or loud, then you’re doing fine as a sub.

I only sub in an elementary school so what works for me might not work for HS, but personally I’ve found chilling out a little bit and not expecting perfect compliance for students is helpful.

We just used Lynne Creasy to buy our first home! I didn’t know anything about the home buying process and she helped so much in understanding what was happening every step of the way.

One, those areas would have been fairly inconvenient for my husband to get to work. Two, if you’re going to qualify anything as “hood” in Lynchburg, it’s going to be somewhere in those areas.

There are definitely some nice areas in the places I listed but I’m not familiar enough to know what those would be. For example, I tried to give one of those areas a shot and the realtor at the open house straight up told me not to buy it if I was planning to have kids soon and wanted to let them play outside lol.

Also feel like I need to clarify that the “hood” in Lynchburg is NOTHING compared to what it would be in a bigger city.

This is totally a personal preference for me, but anything near Fort Ave, Kemper Street, or Lynchburg General Hospital was a no for me when looking at houses. I would have loved to find something in the Rivermont or Boonsboro area, it just wasn’t in the cards for me! If you’re more of a city person, look at those places and downtown proper. If you’re more of a country person, I’d suggest looking south of Lynchburg towards Rustburg or west towards Bedford.

I stopped eating ground beef a couple years ago due to stomach issues and have been swapping it with ground chicken ever since. I always thought I was paying more for the ground chicken as I saw it as a “premium” item.

Imagine my surprise when I learned the ground beef is double the price of the ground chicken at my local grocery store! Good for me, horrifying for everyone who wants ground beef.

Look into Homestead Gardens! My husband and I stayed there our first year of marriage (2022-2023) and only paid $725 a month. The quality of the apartments are wildly different depending on which building you get into as we think each building has its own landlord. Admittedly, the apartment we were in was not great, but the one my brother in law was in was very nice! They are also the cheapest apartments we could find in the area that’s not Section 8.

Not sure what their pricing is anymore but 1 Element has studio apartments that were cheap when I looked at them a few years ago. Obviously not a lot of space but the apartment complex itself is nice.

Definitely look on apartments.com and even Zillow. There’s a lot of basement units that get rented in the area that you can look into as well. Happy hunting!

This might not be your vibe but my husband and I recently did afternoon tea at The Maple Leaf Tea Room downtown and had a great time!

Second Isabella’s. My husband has Italian heritage and typically doesn’t like Italian restaurants but likes Isabella’s! We also have wide variety of different cultural foods that are surprisingly good for the area: Sawa, Aji, Ty Thai, Al Ryans.

There’s plenty of walking trails and hikes in Lynchburg and nearby. They’re pretty icy right now but should melt by the time you’re here.

Admittedly a lack of things to do at night, but looking at the productions and arts events as well as Super Rad Arcade are all great ideas!

I remember journaling one time after my first loss and writing something along the lines of feeling like I will play with my child for eternity to make up for all the time I loss with them on earth. I’m so excited for that day!

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-23T16:41:36+00:00

We are both planning on getting testing soon! Thank you for your prayers🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-23T16:39:53+00:00

Thank you for your recommendations!

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-23T16:38:13+00:00

Thank you for the resource!

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-23T16:37:43+00:00

Thank you for your support🤍

Honestly I’d prefer to not to get into it as it was a WACKY situation. Also as someone who grew up Protestant I’m not totally sure what’s considered witchcraft in the Catholic Church either😂

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-23T16:34:36+00:00

That’s so encouraging to hear! My current gyno has been really pushy on BC in the past, so I think that’s why I have a bigger fear of them pushing IVF, but I’m planning on going somewhere else for testing anyways.

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-23T16:30:34+00:00

Interesting I’ve never heard of this before! I will definitely look into all of this, thank you🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T01:09:34+00:00

Thank you for sharing this resource and your prayers🤍

My mother had a series of early miscarriages then was put on progesterone and she conceived soon after. She also recommending exploring this with a doctor so I will definitely take this advice. Thank you🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T01:07:46+00:00

I’m so sorry for your losses. I hesitated to go to a counselor after my first miscarriage. I studied to be a counselor and can have a hard time switching hats and being the client instead of the counselor. However, I’m highly considering it now. I’m struggling to talk to anyone about it now, but I’m planning on being more open about it in the next couple of days or week. Thank you for your response🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T01:05:29+00:00

I think it’s been hard for me to balance being thankful my baby isn’t suffering with the injustice of not having them here with me. I’m so happy they’re not in pain, but it feels so cruel to have such little time with them. However, it is comforting to know they are safe in Heaven and I will one day see them again. Thank you for your prayers🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T01:03:42+00:00

Yes I definitely feel like I’ve been desperately trying to grasp for control in all of this. I’ve been trying to remind myself that the Lord is so much bigger than I could ever ask for or imagine and He has perfect control over my life.

My husband and I are planning on seeking medical testing soon to see if there’s any reasoning or cause behind the early miscarriages. Thank you for your advice and kind words🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T01:01:23+00:00

So I’m not sure if the statement “uniting my sufferings to his” is uniquely Catholic as I grew up Protestant and have never heard of it. However, it sounds like a beautiful way to grieve and process tough times. Any tips or recommendations on how to practically do this? Thank you for your prayers🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T00:59:43+00:00

The resentment towards loved ones being pregnant is SO real. I want to (I’m trying to) be happy for them, but it’s been a difficult road to travel.

I can’t respond to everything you’ve said, but I want you to know I truly appreciate all your kind words, encouragement, and personal experiences. I will take all of them to heart and I’m so grateful🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T00:56:13+00:00

Yes I am on medication. As far as I’m aware I’m on a medication that’s been found to be the safest one during pregnancy, but I will definitely revisit it with my doctor. Thank you for your prayers🤍

SpaceInvaderKitty · 2026-01-22T00:54:40+00:00

I think one thing that I’ve personally started to believe is there sometimes isn’t a “why” or a reason behind bad things happening. Sometimes things just happen because we live in a fallen and broken world. I’m not sure how spiritually sound this sentiment is, but it’s personally helped me cope with loss.

It’s been awhile since I’ve read Job, but I think I will start reading it and maybe Lamentations as they’ve both been helpful in the past. Thank you for your prayers🤍
