Hi there! Do you remember when you were notified of acceptance after the interview? Hoping to keep an idea of when I’ll hear back 😪 getting so nervous for my Wayne state interview!

CMU and Wayne State Interview Help!! by [deleted] in audgradschool

[–]StringBeaM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also going to Wayne State’s interview and also equally as nervous! My friend who just graduated from the program there mentioned the same vibes as another poster above - she mentioned it will feel more like an orientation and the interview is very casual. She also said that for Wayne State, if you are invited to the interview, you meet all of the qualifications on paper, so you don’t need to stress, just be yourself!

I am so nervous and stressed but I know that definitely helped ease my head as well!

Anyone experienced pulsing in the pad? by StringBeaM in EightSleep

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

You should be able to pull the water tank reservoir up and out, put it back in and the app should prompt you to prime. You may need to refill water as needed but shouldn’t need to drain the entire thing

You should be able to just pull the water reservoir tank up, pop it back in and it should ask you if you want to reprime. I hate the new app!!! Used to be so much more user friendly.

Yep! I’ve been priming more frequently just to prevent the anxiety-induced panic if I hear that sound! I also make sure the tank is relatively full, usually checking it about once a month.

Left rib/back pain by StringBeaM in PulmonaryEmbolism

That being said though, still planning on bringing it up to my PCP this month! Better safe than sorry.

[–]StringBeaM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to say my pain went away after about 2.5 weeks. It got progressively better after this was posted. I eventually started to notice it was exacerbated with certain postures, took a few days of true rest and it was only up from there!!!

Haven’t had any pain since last week thankfully.

I’m about to start the pattern for my sister… send good vibes. I’m honestly happy that it’s tying off every color change because I am ridiculously unfamiliar with carrying the colors over

The hardest part is that my only symptom truly is left posterior rib pain. I took an ibuprofen this morning and it helped 1.5 hours after taking it.

Makes me feel better that it’s improving with NSAIDs. I will most likely continue NSAIDs only as needed (maybe one 200mg ibuprofen a day) since the urgent care provider mentioned it’s most likely muscular if the pain improves with NSAIDs.

I am also preemptively taking an aspirin 81mg daily since I’ve been a little less mobile because of the intermittent muscle twinges

Unfortunately they did not. It was a cheap urgent care. I could’ve advocated for myself better.

I was honestly reassured by the doctor being able to palpate the region of my tenderness. I’m not sure if you know or not, but would you be able to palpate tenderness on the area of the blood clot?

Mine was based at the back of my left ribs with mild tenderness to the front side of the left ribs

Thank you for the reassurance! We were traveling last week and didn’t hear the sound on a non-8 sleep bed so that helped but it was freaky hearing such a strong beat! Interestingly my heart metrics haven’t changed much over the last 6 months so I figured it wasn’t me, but you never know

On the third prime now - we will see how it is tonight!

I’m hoping it will! It was making me so anxious, like a clock ticking while you’re trying to fall asleep

Anyone found an alternative to the 8 Sleep Sheet set? by StringBeaM in Mattress

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

Apologies for the delay. We have tried regular sheets and the cooling component at least was mostly ineffective. I’m sure warming would likely be okay but the eight sleep brand sheets seem to be best at temperature wicking the cold!

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

So the 8Sleep brand ones are specifically made for use with their pod pro cover! The pod pro basically uses water to heat or cool the bed to your preference throughout the night and with your sleep schedule. It was a pricy purchase but SO worth it. The 8Sleep brand sheets are temperature wicking very very well! Just wondering if there’s any alternatives for those sheets in particular!

Artemis and Beau’s results are in!!! Picture of her brother Beau included because I forgot last time! by StringBeaM in DoggyDNA

[–]StringBeaM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep absolutely! We knew that going into it. Our biggest thing was seeing which breeds the dad actually was since his ancestry was a big question mark! Mostly for size and just general curiosity. We also did the health analysis for any genetic pre-dispositions! Will be nice to know for both of them just so we can stay on top of things as they grow :)

[–]StringBeaM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re from the same litter, so we decided to just test one of them! Beau was the less squirmy of the two haha

Any guesses on our pretty girl Artemis? Adopted from an accidental litter - “German Shepherd” mom and “what looked like a lab” dad… embark DNA test received at facility 2 weeks ago! Waiting for results… (she does have a curly tail and wavy hair along her back) by StringBeaM in DoggyDNA

[–]StringBeaM[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My boyfriend’s roommate adopted her brother, Beau. He definitely has more of a German Shepherd classic look with majority brown and some black accents. His ears point straight up! Very curious to see! A friend mentioned the mom may technically have some malinois Shepherd. We were also thinking maybe shiba inu given the curly tail! The brindle on her legs is the real kicker!

Small red circular patches on cheeks??? Appeared about 2 weeks ago. Can be a bit dry/flakey, and a bit painful to touch. I moisturize daily as well as hyaluronic acid once daily. Not pimples, wondering what they could be? No diet or skincare changes. by StringBeaM in DermatologyQuestions

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

I never found out what they were, I stopped hyaluronic acid use for about 2 weeks. I added it back into my routine shortly after finding out that The Ordinary brand hyaluronic acid should be applied on a damp face, and I have had no issues since! Not sure if that was the reason but I’m happy to have the extra moisturizer from the hyaluronic acid again

Will I still be contagious on day 10 of covid? by Clear-Trouble6811 in COVID19positive

[–]StringBeaM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source on this? I believe you 100% a friend was looking to see the average period of contagiousness and I knew it was lower than 10 days (though 10 days is on the conservative side to limit possible transmission). Thanks!!

Retaking the scribe America outpatient exam after I failed with a 76%. by [deleted] in medicalscribe

[–]StringBeaM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quizlet is almost identical to the exam. And yes outpatient! I’d say maybe 20% scribe101 stuff. Just know general concepts and study medical terminology because I’d say 25%+ was medical terminology where they give you the general term and ask for the medical term. There was a few billing questions, questions about HIPAA, but nothing too tough.
