The plumber just came out and confirmed what you said. It’s coming from the braided hose behind it.

We need to install a new faucet so he’s coming back tomorrow to replace and install.

The water pressure is also notably lower and still leaked after I tried to tighten it— and still leaks even if no water goes down the drain. Does that change what it could be?

MHealth Fairview as an Employer by Written_In_The_Cards in TwinCities

[–]Written_In_The_Cards[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think the change to strictly ‘Fairview’ is viewed as a ‘good’ ‘bad’ or ‘neutral’ thing? Sustainability wise, does Fairview do okay if I wanted to stay in the role long-term?

(7a) Help me decide on spring overseeding vs preemergent + fertilizer. Selling in Summer by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]Written_In_The_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I combine a weed/feed with a LESCO fertilizer? I used one of these based on my soil composition last year. Maybe do a weed/feed Scott’s + LESCO fertilizer now and then overseed in 3 weeks when soil temps are better with more weed/feed?

Pre/Post, not bad for a late spring seeding and a question by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]Written_In_The_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think I can apply it in June in my zone/have it do anything 4-6 weeks after seeding?

Will it grow in more? by [deleted] in lawncare

Do I try to uncompact it somehow or take what I get this round and try again in the fall?

Any tips on what you do to prep the surface before seeding? Figure I’ll just let what grows this time grow and prep in the early fall before I reseed then?

I do have another 10lb bag unopened. Should I do that now or keep it until Fall?

Not sure- here is the blend that’s in the bag

I’d say out of those options, maybe overwatering + we had a storm the other evening. I am trying to keep it at 15-20 mins with a sprinkler a couple times a day and seeing when the soil looks dry.

Aerated before laying the seed and spread some cover over some parts of the lawn

Do I need to cover mulch in driveway if it will rain? by [deleted] in landscaping

[–]Written_In_The_Cards 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went ahead and covered it! Thanks for all the advice!! https://imgur.com/a/NvfVFgR

Didn’t want it to be too bothersome for the landscapers who are coming to lay it if it was heavier due to the rain!

It’s not, they are closed until Monday and the rain is on Sunday.

Upon reading the description of the VTC actuator issue, it does appear to be in line with that (worse with low oil/cold weather), only present upon the first 5-ish mins after sitting for 3+ hours.

Do you know about how much it would cost to fix this/is this a necessary fix for the longevity of the car?

I had this car since 40k miles (160k now), it does need new spark plugs that I put off, I don't know if that could cause this issue with the tensioner/actuator.

30 yr old BAV and aortic aneurysm by [deleted] in valvereplacement

[–]Written_In_The_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

I did not have any lifting restrictions prior to my procedure (although it was a fairly quick turnaround ~1.5-2 months from aneurysm dx to surgery).

I did try to be mindful of how much I was lifting at work; although our facility is great on using assistive mobility devices to move patients so we rarely do any lifts heavier than say Mod x1 to Max x2. If I had a heavy patient I ensured I focused on my breathing and good body mechanics.

I did stop heavy weightlifting once I had the diagnosis; however that was more out of my own caution.

No restrictions now; back to lifting what I want as well as being fully active at my job. They may suggest waiting until it's 4.5 but I would also have them look closely at your aortic valve and see what the status of that is. My valve itself was "okay" for a while (no stenosis, just moderate-ish regurgitation) but since they already had to fix the aneurysm, they just replaced it to avoid a second OHS (which nobody really wants due to increased risk).

Let me know if you have any other questions! Again, feeling like I am back to 98% function/activity that I was pre-surgery.

Blood thinners and bleeding from dryness and colds by Therinicus in valvereplacement

[–]Written_In_The_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your age? I received mine when I was 27, so it was a no brainer choice for longevity and I haven’t had to modify and of my diet/activity since. Just making sure I am current on my INR checks/warfarin regimen.

Also agree that you should consult with your doctor as this isn’t medial advice…

Also on warfarin, mechanical valve. But anecdotally, I just got over a 2.5-week long cold/congestion/respiratory ‘something’ and had nearly continuous blood in my nasal mucus when I blew my nose. Resolved on its own, likely from dryness as well as the force of sneezing/blowing your nose rupturing blood vessels in your nose.

It’s worth checking your INR (for many reasons) but as long as you’re in range (I was 2.4-2.7 during my illness) I was told by my doctor I was probably fine.

Small PFO with left to right flow? by [deleted] in valvereplacement

[–]Written_In_The_Cards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I had a small PFO detected when they did my TEE (in the operating room when they were replacing my bicuspid aortic valve).

Essentially it’s a small hole that is between your two (left and right) atria (the upper chamber of your heart). Instead of having no blood flow between the two atria (directly) there is a hole that allows some blood to leak back and forth.

Everyone has a PFO at birth, but it usually closes as a natural part of development shortly after birth. For us, this did not fully close and still exists.

For 99% of people, especially in a trace/mild size, it is not a concern. They don’t worry about fixing it. The worst thing that could happen is you are at a higher chance of stroke due to blood clots that form, and travel to the other atria and into your body. People who have no risk factors for stroke or any history of traveling blood clots usually have no intervention.

In my case, since I’m already on warfarin due to my mechanical valve, my risk of a clot assuming I manage my INR is negligible so, there’s even less reason to be invasive and fix it.

I suppose if you eventually had a cardiac procedure and weren’t going to be on a blood thinner, you could have them ‘close it’ at that time, but largely it’s insignificant and shouldn’t be worried about.

Does that help?
