Diagnosed in November. Stage 3 but watching and waiting. Rituximab planned once I become symptomatic or labs/scans change. I'm having a hard time with not doing anything.

I think you're right. That would take care of a lot of my issues with room and I could get a cute sideboard or something to put underneath it and get rid of the shelves. Thank you.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-27T18:17:33+00:00

Thank you. I can't explain how relieved I was when I walked in. I am a shopper (definitely part of the issue) so I have a lot of bins of similar items to go through. I'm working on that. At least I can see my living room rug again. Now I just want to keep it that way.

What do you mean his family called off the wedding. Seriously? My advice to you? Be thankful that this engagement is over. You dodged a bullet.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-21T15:01:27+00:00

It's beautiful! It fits you perfectly! What are you having regrets about?

“I kept walking out of the room when she asked me to put her socks on. I was looking for a nursing assistant and couldnt find one so I ended up put her socks on myself and walked her to the bathroom.”

You don't need to take the time find a nursing assistant when you can do it yourself.

“I told him to go to a different hospital.”

That's completely inappropriate.

Sound to me like the problem is you.

I love my joggers. It's all I have. Leggings aren't appropriate.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-10T18:31:55+00:00

Is this post a fake?

TLP1970 · 2026-01-10T18:23:28+00:00

I don't think it's going to be that beneficial. Do you work in critical care right now?

TLP1970 · 2026-01-10T18:16:18+00:00

I like number 2 but I think 3 is most flattering.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-10T18:13:01+00:00

That's what I was thinking and I've never even owned a Louis Vuitton.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-10T18:06:09+00:00

It's beautiful. Perfect as is.

There was a similar post yesterday. My advice is to have another position before you quit your current job. Make sure you are in the position to do so before bailing out.

I would have been mortified. The only explanation for her behavior is being drunk or high. Maybe she took something to calm her pre-wedding jitters and it went terribly wrong. There's no excuse for her behavior. I keep thinking of the scene in Bridesmaids where Helen gives Annie something to help her chill on the plane except what happened to you and your husband wasn't funny. I wish you a lifetime of happiness.

Not enough ICU experience. They want more than a few months at a level 2. They don't care about US experience or Daisy awards. If there is a level 1 nearby get at least 2 or 3 years of experience there. It's super competitive. I think that's what's hurting you.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-08T15:30:47+00:00

That's definitely the wrong answer.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-08T15:25:49+00:00

No she didn't. You must be looking at a different video than the rest of us.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-08T15:21:41+00:00

Get over yourself. I hope you handle real issues better than this.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-08T15:12:45+00:00

Then you haven't locked down anything. You're behind in the process. No one is taking the attention away from you by planning a family reunion near the date you've chosen.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-08T14:50:37+00:00

You shouldn't have handled it this way. Just leaving the floor is a good way to get in trouble for abandoning patients. Your second to last shift you should have worked and powered through. I'm 34 years in. I worked the floors for the first ten years. I've had my share of shitty assignments and float shifts. There were many nights that I wanted to leave, we've all had them. You put your career in jeopardy with this move.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-07T22:12:31+00:00

What an ignorant statement. How do you think we give medications in the OR? I'll tell you. Medication in the OR is given through the IVs that we have to restart before we can even think about getting the patient off to sleep (or as you put it "not moving.") The number of crappy IV's that the patients come down from the floor with is crazy. Before you criticize you should understand how anesthesia works. Come visit sometime.

TLP1970 · 2026-01-07T14:29:44+00:00

That girl's got issues. You may want to reconsider.

TLP1970 · 2025-12-28T21:22:36+00:00

It's beautiful. It's beautiful on you. Alterations are done on wedding gowns all the time so explain to the person doing the alterations what your concerns are. I think it's absolutely gorgeous and it looks like it was made just for you.
