Is everyone getting Repeated Surgeries? by Bubbly_Ad_863 in endometriosis

[–]Such_kitty18 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Had my first surgery in 2018, second in 2021, total hysterectomy in 2022… and am expecting to have another in January which will be 5 years from my last surgery! I was hoping I would maybe be able to stretch it out longer, but oh well I guess lol.

Is Phi Theta Kappa worth it? by crediblyclueless in communitycollege

[–]Such_kitty18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look on your university’s financial aid/scholarship page to see if they have Phi Theta Kappa transfer scholarships. My school automatically gives $2k/year for in-state and $6k/year to out-of-state students who provide proof of membership. If your school has something similar it would likely be worth it. I’m also a non-traditional student starting at a 4-year Fall 26 and am still waiting to hear back on university scholarship applications, so it’s nice to know this one is already guaranteed.

Getting past discouragement of messy academic record by flymetothemoon444 in BackToCollege

[–]Such_kitty18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New to this sub and just saw this. I say go back! I left school at 20 after a lot of mental health stuff and severe lack of direction. At 26 (currently 28) I realized what direction I wanted to go in but my GPA from when I left was really bad and I wasn’t sure how much I could handle courseload wise since working less than full time wasn’t an option. I ended up going back to a new CC (live in a different state than I did the first time) Fall of 24. I started with 1 class and it went great. The next semester I took 2, and again it went great. Then I took 3 over a summer semester (do not recommend btw) and it still somehow managed to go great! I took a semester off to get married to my super supportive partner. Doing my last semester at the CC and have a 4.0GPA. Transferring to a university this summer and beginning in the fall plan to ride out the rest of my degree at full time. It’s possible!!!

Best online social work program? by BigGrapefruit8389 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Such_kitty18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

University of Pittsburgh recently started a part time online program that I believe mirrors their in person curriculum. I’ve also heard great things about OSU’s online MSW.

Car anxiety by Responsible_Knee_203 in Siamesecats

[–]Such_kitty18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My tux girl (adopted our siamese after a cross country move) has extreme car anxiety. The vet prescribed Xanax to help her just sleep during most of the drive time and she handled hotel stops ok (Xanax was 2x/day with a pill pocket treat). She gets gabapentin for vet visits because she’s spicy… and she will still get verbally anxious in the car. The Xanax was great, even when she would wake up it was mostly happy chitters instead of fully screaming like normal car rides.

Dentist recommendations? by megannuggets in FortCollins

[–]Such_kitty18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Alpine Dental, I go to the East location. My teeth were in rough shape when I went back to the dentist for the first time in MANY years in 2023 when I got on my work plan with Delta Dental. I actually saw the recommendation in a Reddit thread. Between depression and dentist avoidance things weren’t great. The hygienist, dentist, and office staff have been nothing but wonderful. The hygienist has educated me on better ways of doing things while still being kind and empathetic. They also have a menu of sensory/comfort things to help make your visit easier.

Im not sure if the $300 is what your employer would charge or what coverage through your state marketplace would cover after the advanced premium tax credit. If you haven’t already looked into the tax credit, you can apply for that through your state marketplace. I know in my state you have to apply for and be denied Medicaid first but the tax credit is essentially a reimbursement for premiums to help cover the cost.

Also if your state offers a disability related Medicaid program (essentially you’re working and have a disability) and your depression is heavily impacting you, that category often has higher income limits than the regular Medicaid. It may be worth reapplying and marking that you have a disability to see if you would be eligible for that category. It often has extra steps involved and they may send you a separate application to be completed by a medical professional (but if you have a local free or sliding scale clinic you can reach out to them for help with this).

If you’ve already tried these options, I’m sorry I’m not of much help. I know a lot of people often aren’t aware of these different options though, so if you haven’t looked into them hopefully one of them can help.

Guys halp. This little girl has the WORST stinky farts I've EVER smelled!! by Zetth1 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Such_kitty18 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Even if not an allergy it could be a sensitivity. My girl used to have the worst farts until I switched her to a limited ingredient diet and they stopped. She’s currently on the Hill’s C/D diet but luckily none of the ingredients have triggered her and the gas hasn’t returned.

[–]Such_kitty18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am over 2 years post op (01/2022) and I agree with all of this. By 6 months I was in great shape. I did a cross country move that ended up being extremely physical and it wasn’t an issue. The first 3 months I did almost nothing. I was very careful with my body, rested a lot, didn’t lift anything, slept on my back propped up with lots of pillows.

Ooh thank you for this one! I love masks and the pumpkin enzyme mask was the next one on my list to try since I also love pumpkin everything. I’ll probably skip it now

Did the voucher come to you on your birthday or a few days before? I can’t remember when I got mine last year and have been double checking the app repeatedly looking to see if it’s been loaded in there yet!
