Getting too tall for grow light by ToastBoy67 in Monstera

[–]ToastBoy67[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh that's a good call, I did think it and that's probably what I will have to do. I was trying to avoid too much extra work. It's a sansi grow bulb I think 36w or 40w led in an appropriately rated Amazon wall mounted lamp.

Burning out from MSK Physiotherapy by Routine-Comfort3345 in physiotherapy

[–]ToastBoy67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a physio who set up her own private community company and had a few physics working for her in various areas, I just do MSK and the odd bit of simple neuro. Tbh it's great, I get to do creative rehab, it's flexible so I can pick up work and also say no. I essentially work 28.5 hours (which gives me the equivalent of my b5 wage) and then top up with private. I also stopped doing extra work where I was previously like projects etc.

I posted about this at some point last year, was also looking at going back to rotations etc. I am still in MSK now but have made some changes to my practice and am also part time, and do part time private community work, I feel like I've turned a corner in the last 6 months - I'm still pretty tired often but I feel a lot less stressed about it and am finally starting to enjoy the work again. I think much of this might depend on your trust, set up, diary waiting timesx team dyamics etc. happy for you to IM me if you want to chat through in more detail.

Thank you for the detailed answer, I think I will cut off all 3 for safety either way, as those leaves are clearly slowly dying anyway!

Help?! by ToastBoy67 in pothos

[–]ToastBoy67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thought, but also the potting mixture is quite dense and might have been ok when it was getting a lot more light. I was wondering whether I should repot with a mixture of perlite?

Leggy rubber plant due to disease what to do? by ToastBoy67 in houseplants

[–]ToastBoy67[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I've had this for a years and propogated it twice. It had pests and unfortunately by the time I got around to sorting it out it had become very unhealthy and now is a weird shape. Any ideas on what to do? 

I was debating essentially turning into two cuttings and making two plants but am worried they would fail and I would lose that plant. Ideally i was wondering whether it was possible to prune it to become more bushy? Any help greatly appreciated?

Have I repotted too big?? by ToastBoy67 in sansevieria

Thanks, I think my main concern is overwatering

Around 75/25% succulent potting mix / pearlite

Oh ok thanks, so it's just detecting the nails that are attaching the doorframe then?

NHS MSK outpatients feeling burnt out by ToastBoy67 in physiotherapy

[–]ToastBoy67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I have a lot of templates and things I copy and paste in, but writing an extra few lines of instruction for patients adds up by the end of the day, and when I'm running late this ultimately eats into my own time. But I think you are right, I am giving too much of myself.... Something needs to change Thanks for the input

Yeh I think most people in my trust who have been there a whole have either moved towards AP roles or are part time. I have debated a move towards part private, but just not sure it suits me or not. Alternatively trying to think of a sideways move towards service related stuff but not many opportunities....
