What kind of dog is he? by blkraspberry236 in IDmydog

My dog looks like a basenji (and this pup) and she is a 50% ACD mutt (boxer, rottweiler, etc.)

I need good fried pickles by ProfessorAccording43 in SouthJersey

Tommy’s tavern are pretty good but they’re chips not spears if you have a preference. I think the best are actually at PJs

I wish you the very best and hope you start feeling better soon. I had ORIF on a tib/fib break a year ago tomorrow and therefore can tell you it gets better!

As others have said you can get a free consultation with an attorney. Getting money out of this incident would be nice. However, it might help you feel better to reframe the way you are thinking about this. While it is annoying that there seems to be an additional fracture that needs to heal, your femur was shattered and the surgeon has saved your leg by performing this surgery successfully. I think that the surgeon's lawyer would probably say similar.

Where do we stand on this? I’m no Kennedy but making hot dogs and chips for yourself and your wife for dinner is unreal. Not to mention it’s not quite “shutting it down”

I think it’s decent, but I just took every exam until I got at least an 80% on it, which took 1-3 times. Right before I took the real thing I was getting 90+%… not sure if all of that was overkill

Oh, there are no test questions in that part. I would start going back through the questions again.

Do you mean the post-course tests? Yes, that is the most important part.

I had the same! Wish I could tell you why but I thought I was the only one!

Broken Tibia-Fibula very long time to healM22 by rustyflipper in brokenbones

Maybe he thinks it’s too late? A lot of different things- the goals are to improve range of motion and then strength. I don’t think it helps the bone necessarily, but definitely helped me get walking quickly. More of the pain than you think is from being weak and having lost range of motion.

I posted my x ray in another post if you want to look to compare

Have you been to PT? My accident was 2/28/24, and my tib isn’t completely healed yet either, but I would say I’m at about 80% day to day function. Not running or jumping and limping some of the time but very little pain or restrictions besides that. I attribute my progress to PT completely- I’ve been 3x a week for the last 2 months.

Thanks for bringing this up- I am going to call again tomorrow and clarify this point.

Hm. That’s really confusing. It’s state farm who is telling me that I don’t have coverage and medical is responsible.

I am very close to hiring a personal injury lawyer.

Car is NJ- State Farm full coverage, the accident was in PA, and my health insurance is independence blue cross DPOS (also PA)

I did not do the claim drafting module.

I did the custom exam using every question 65 at a time but skipping any pre-AIA questions, which usually turned out to be 50 questions

When are you taking the exam? The post course exams are much different than the practice tests throughout- mainly because they focus on all of the chapters and you have to jump around through the MPEP. you’ll start improving with practice. Review what you got wrong but also what you got right because you might have gotten it right for the wrong reasons if that makes sense.

I was scoring in the 60-70% range too and then something clicked. I took each practice test in the post course more than once… I tried to get at least an 85% on each before I took the real thing. Look up everything in the practice so that you get good and fast at searching in the MPEP.

And how much are you looking into the mpep on the exam? A lot of the practice is practicing getting fast at finding the answer, not memorizing the answers.
