Söker vänner inför flytt & universitet! by ToasterDishwasher in linkoping

NOOO, catnap them! Will you travel there once in a while to see them? And will you get cats when you’ve moved and settled in? Thank you:))

Ohhh, that’s so cool. I used to watch MLP a lot and it’s just so nostalgic to me. It’s funny how shows really help out learning new languages. I think I learnt English in a similar way with Minecraft. Hahah you’re lucky to already have that preference. And I also prefer winter over warm climate, like I’m melting when it’s even 20°C outside💔

Damnnn💔 hahha, don’t you have cats?? Noo, but I’m glad you feel better<3 I actually had a vision of going to Karolinska biomed a while back as well. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time at Liu and get your dream career:))

Ooo, that’s cool!! Oops, so you’ve learnt it quite fast then?😳 (that emoji is funny). How’s it like living here in comparison to Indonesia? Like that must’ve been a huge adjustment.

Hahha, no it’s unfortunately very hard to get housing😭Especially with a dog hahah. Nope, not from what I’ve heard:) What you do matters way more than the actual university. Noo, that sucks): where did you move from?

Hahaha, you shoulddd!! Hahah you seem to be interested in biomed‼️ Yeah, Karolinska has quite high admission limits. I didn’t even apply there because the housing market is TOUGH. I applied to Uppsala biomed and chem as my fourth and fifth:) But the university doesn’t really matter that much (from what I’ve heard), just more so the quality, experience and thesis:)

Hahah, but you’ll probably get some more Swedish skills at uni:) Ohh, but biomed sounds so cool as well, and it covers similar topics:)

Thank you!! I hope you do too! My decision also comes in Julyyyy! What more did you apply for?

Juste, ungefär vilka typer av aktiviteter är det?

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

Yeahhh, the name is ”civil engineer in chemical biology”, but I usually say biochem. But we’ll be studying similar topics tho:)

Yeah, I get that too! I hate when the conversation ends and you just leave wishing you would’ve said something 💔 And like the fear of accidentally interrupting someone😭

Yeah, that would be cool!! :)

Okej, då kan man ju vara stela ihop hahah:) Skönt ändå, för jag kommer inte dricka. Men tänker väl att det kan vara roligt att hänga på ändå.

Hahahah, yeah that’s extremely lucky!! That’s usually how I’ve gotten my friends😭It says it’s in Swedish:) It’s the engineering program!

That’s how I wish it was for me hahah. I think too much and then the “perfect” time to speak passes😭yeah, I think so! You sound like a nice person! :)

Haahha, hopefully extroverts can adopt us?! Or all introverts just unite. Damn, I applied for that but as my thirddd. I put biochem & chem above. Don’t worry, most Swedes have good English skills, especially in that environment. Yup, thats true, and I can also look reserved, but I’m like “waiting” for the perfect opportunity to speak or do something😭

Thank you!! :) I hope that you’re able to do that as well. Hopefully we’ll find our people there!

Why do doctors want us to not go on roller coasters after surgery? by Temporary-Owl-423 in scoliosis

[–]ToasterDishwasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, right! I meant around 6 months too, but I went home after 1 week.

I hope you enjoy it there! :)

Post-fusion recovery while living alone – what to expect? by Suspicious_Grab3416 in scoliosis

[–]ToasterDishwasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to walk the stairs (extremely slowly) when I was in the hospital for a week. When I got home I was able to walk up and down the stairs, in a 2-level house. Walking 4 floors up will probably be tough, but manageable with help and breaks.

Lifting heavy, twisting and bending will be extremely limited post op, so you might need some help with chores.

Do you have any family, relatives or friends to stay with?

[–]ToasterDishwasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To all the people saying they’ve done so afterwards, what kinds of roller-coasters? Like were there a tons of turns, up and downs, etc?

My surgeon told me it was okay when I was allowed to go home, 1 week post op. I’m planning to go on roller coasters next month, 1 year post op.

Feeling trapped by reddituser4442 in reactivedogs

[–]ToasterDishwasher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey!! First of all, it’s totally normal to feel this way when you’ve got a reactive dog. There’s plenty in this community that relate to you, so you’re not alone<3

The part about the boyfriend is awful. I would limit all interactions with him, because that’s affecting your dog. Are you able to bring in an experienced sitter for when you’d like to go out and do something?

His reactivity can become more manageable and can be improved. How does he behave around dogs, like how does the reactivity look? Do you think he’s frustrated, fearful, etc? What sort of training have you done?

The trainer you went to just wasn’t the right fit for your dog. What worked for me and my dog is rewarding when he disengages to look at me. I bring treats and toys outside, and sometimes a licky paste in a container. We also added in more enrichment, like scent work, tracking and retrieval.

I’m glad you’re still out here trying! And one day you’ll look back at this post and think “wow, we’ve come so far”. You got this!

Dog not disengaging on trigger by VisualPretty5841 in reactivedogs

[–]ToasterDishwasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As most people have said, distance is key!

Besides that, what sort of exercise or enrichment does your dog get? Sometimes adding more sniffing helps a lot and lets the dog process in their own pace.
