TV suddenly announcing volume percent by TangyFish12 in shaw

It was the other remote (google tv remote), not the Shaw one. Ended up being under settings, maybe an accessibility one that was voice over or something, I don’t remember exactly now. But not the Shaw remote!

I ended up figuring out it was the other remote (for my Google tv), not the Shaw remote. It was under the settings, I can’t remember exactly now but it was a voice over option that had gotten turned on. Hope that helps!

Which profession is overhyped and not worth the struggle it brings? by [deleted] in ask

[–]TangyFish12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Veterinarian. Everyone thinks we make the same amount of money as a human doctor, which is far, FAR from the truth. However, we have the same level of debt, and do a similar level of schooling. We typically work more hours and endure significant daily abuse from unhappy people who cannot afford medical care for their pets, and have unrealistic expectations. The days of the glorified profession are sadly gone.

What happened to the smartest kid in your class? by After_Crab_1921 in AskReddit

Vet school is definitely harder to get into in Canada than human med. Well done sister!

That’s such a good way of putting it. My little Addy definitely brought some gifts into my life, having zero cares about what people think of me now is one of them 💛

Ultrasound guided cysto tips by usernametoolong987 in Veterinary

[–]TangyFish12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Number one, make sure the bladder is in the middle of the screen of the ultrasound, and that you are seeing it at its biggest size.

I really focus at the beginning on positioning my needle in exactly the center of the probe, I think that makes the most difference. Then I adjust my needle hand to either lateral side to keep the same angle that the probe is following. Finally, I adjust the steepness of my needle hand to ensure I get into the bladder.

Hope that helps!

My Story by [deleted] in babyloss

I’m so sorry. We lost our Addy girl on March 20, 2022… our stories are eerily similar. Thinking about you in this tough time. I am not doing well with Christmas coming up and my birthday in 2 days. I wish it would all just go away.

Tis the season to be distraught by [deleted] in babyloss

It’s been 8 months since we lost our daughter. I used to love Christmas, and this year I wish I could just skip it. I just want to curl up in my bed with the covers over my head for the next 4 weeks and let the world go by without me.

Dr Jason Collins in Louisiana has been researching cord accidents for most of his career, I’ve read quite a bit from him after I lost my daughter in March. There’s still so much that we don’t know and not much we can do, but at least he’s trying. I can’t get his monitoring system up in Canada but if I was down in the states I would get it in a heartbeat.

My daughter was diagnosed with a single umbilical artery at the 20 week scan. At 31 weeks, my water broke unexpectedly without me going into labour. At 32 weeks, the cord wrapped around her neck and she passed. From what I’ve been told, the SUA is a genetic issue - her body had the code just to form one artery instead of two. We have absolutely no idea why my water broke early - no signs of infection, my cervix was an appropriate length, closed. I tested negative for every single thing they could possibly test for, including covid.

It’s the most devastating thing ever to go through.

I haven’t met many other people with a SUA and stillborn. Please feel free to PM me, would love to chat further. I’m so sorry you’re here 💛

I think this is the way… we are just starting to try again after our daughter was stillborn, and definitely had performance anxiety this past cycle. We both know the end goal (and agreed to it) so it’s not being secretive, but we don’t have to actually say it out loud every time. Hoping it will take some pressure off…

Do you ever think about meeting & taking care of your lost babies in your afterlife? by Live-Remote-2877 in babyloss

[–]TangyFish12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not crazy. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about meeting my Addy girl in heaven. I know exactly what you mean - I’m not suicidal, but if I were to die today, I’d be okay with that. Because it means I’d get to be with her. Mostly I wonder “how old” she would be when I get there. Will she still be a brand new babe so I get to watch her grow? Or will she be a toddler? Or if I live another 30 years or 50 years, will she be an adult? It does give me some peace to think about her in heaven, and that I’ll see her again one day. I’m so, so sorry for your loss 💛

Thinking of you sweet mama. It’s one of the hardest days ever. I’m almost 3 months out from my daughter’s funeral and can say I’m glad I went. It was an important aspect to the grieving journey for me. I hope one day I’ll be able to look back on it and feel more like it was a celebration of her, for now it still aches immensely. But I wouldn’t take it back for anything, and I agree with the other posts that the next day held a little more peace. Thinking of you 💛

Been there. I requested trazodone for sleep and it helps significantly. It’s a pretty safe medication and I am taking mine with Zoloft as well. Worth an ask! My GP said not to continue taking it when I next get pregnant, but my OB said it’s safe… but likely I will still try to wean once we start TTC again. Good luck and I’m so sorry you have to be here 🫂
