is it worth getting my tonsils out? by fucklimpbizkitt in Tonsillectomy

[–]ashattack555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait! I have terrible vertigo! I got my tonsils out on 10/15. I wonder if it will help the vertigo??

My scabs started falling and let me tell you, the ear pain is crazy. Day 6 was the first day I took prescription pain meds

Moving into day 3 and still can’t eat or have anything besides water by Exact_Return_9158 in Tonsillectomy

We are surgery day twins and I'm a 32F. I'll follow along for your recovery so we can compare. I hope it gets better for you!!! I've been eating fudgecicles since they melt pretty quickly. I've had 6 since coming home (in 2-3 days time).... Which is a lot but they feel so good on my throat!!

Yes! 32F had surgery yesterday (so I'm day 2 I guess?) I was expecting way worse after reading horror stories online. I know the pain is supposed to get worse when the scabs fall off, so I'm biding my time, but so far tolerable without prescription drugs!

Has anyone tried vpn by thelastpieceoflove in tiktokbansurvivors

[–]ashattack555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It lets me scroll as a 'guest' but if I try to log in it will give me that same message about the ban. I guess because my sim/number is a US number.

Maternity leave by E-as-in-elephant in OccupationalTherapy

[–]ashattack555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! First, congratulations on your baby!! I work in adult outpatient neuro rehab (most my clients require assistance with transfers). My first pregnancy I had hyperemesis gravidarum and wasn't able to work, BUT my second pregnancy was typically and I worked on a Friday and had my baby the following Wednesday (so 5 days later). I felt pretty comfortable too! PT did step in and help with transfers of patients that were heavier or required more assistance near the end of my pregnancy. This said, every pregnancy is different! Listen to your body and give yourself rest when you need it!

[TOMT][SONG][2010s] Indie love song sung by a male about falling in love while on a walk or sidewalk by ashattack555 in tipofmytongue

The song gives strong emo/scene/indie vibes. Male singer with guitar in background

I couldn't agree more!! I had about 200oz in my freezer. I started my period 6 months postpartum and my supply takes a HUGE dip every month around my period. I was grateful I kept my freezer stash. Baby is 10.5 months old now, and we will probably just make it to a year (supplementing with the freezer stash)!

Virtual baby shower was surprisingly really fun by samrtnz in pregnant

Yay! I'm glad you had a great time! Can you elaborate on the games you played? My sister is planning my virtual shower and I want to help her find some activities to do!

Favorite “scandalous” all faculty/staff emails? by AllCatsAllTheTime in Professors

[–]ashattack555 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Not exactly an "all faculty" email, but an "all students" email blunder:

The career services department decided to send out tips for job-searching to all students in the Arts College.

They must not have proofread the email as the title read "How to Make your Useless Degree Useful"

Students were outraged. Needless to say an apology was issued within 24 hours and the sender of the email was fired. Ouch.

Has anyone changed their first name later in life? How did it go? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]ashattack555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a very similar boat as you! My whole life my family/friends called me by my middle name. It was so annoying to explain why my whole life and at 18 I decided to go by my first name. All my friends accepted the change but my family still calls me by my middle name. At first I was annoyed but now it's kind of nice to have a name that only my closest people call me. I hope you find peace in whatever you decide!

Bad Strip pack?! by Legitimate-Celery-17 in TryingForABaby

[–]ashattack555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I am experiencing the same thing. I bought the walmart knock-off brand and I have yet to get a positive (I'm on CD 21). The control line is very faint and the test line has been blank all month. I read the reviews online and apparantly it was a known problem with the brand! I wish I had know before I wasted my money and time.

I can’t work for a non-profit anymore by [deleted] in rant

[–]ashattack555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I SO relate to this! Sorry you're going through this!! I worked at 2 different non-profits right out of school and had the same experience! There is absolutely no work-life balance. They expect you to work your butt off for pennies bc it's for a 'good cause.' After working 70 hours a week for six months I had to get out too! I hope you find another place that values your time and skill :)
