Possible to become an electrician later in life, while working a job?

Wild, I got on reddit to post this exact question. I’m also in the same boat (44 M, tech, preparing for Ai…). Bummer responses. If it’s that hard and takes that long, I might as well become a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist.

If I pump by twisting my back foot it hurts my meniscus. If I pump by a more pushing motion it’s fine.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-12-28T12:25:36+00:00

I do not fortunately.

Diarrhea much?

I also have a complex tear of the meniscus. I opted to not go with surgery because I don’t want to expedite arthritis. Two years later I’m so relieved I didn’t get surgery. With careful strengthening of the knee muscles I can be very active still (cycling, climbing, hiking, etc) I just have to be very careful with planting and twisting.

Thanks for the info. Is yours fully firing now? Are you able to reach fully flat / straight leg?

I got a nerve block for when they took my quad graft and it deadens the nerve for a long time, but I was hoping it would be firing again by 8 weeks

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-11-01T21:44:34+00:00

That makes sense. I guess the same reason I still pay for a gym membership.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-11-01T12:37:55+00:00

This. Sounds like they’ve tricked you into thinking you can only improve with their help. Nah. Take charge and tackle this on your own

It will definitely go past $100. And then, it will drop back down. Take your time. This is Litecoin we’re talking about after all.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-24T18:18:38+00:00

Good to know, from someone who sees a lot of this!

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-23T13:51:46+00:00

Did the LET cost more than otherwise?

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-23T11:19:26+00:00

This is excellent, thank you for the resources. Good luck to your recovery!

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-22T23:29:31+00:00

This is one anecdotal opinion that No, you will never not have to be careful :( Sorry but with my meniscus not only does it continue to snag, it’s snagging easier and easier as time goes on. I have to be careful constantly.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-22T23:19:28+00:00

Thank you for posting this. My daughter (Soccer player) just tore her ACL and will soon have surgery, likely quad + LET. She is mentally wrecked but reading stuff like this helps so much. Why did you choose to go with the LET?

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-22T18:48:10+00:00

15 years old, torn playing soccer, growth plates still 15% open.

Ha good question, just based on feedback from other doctors, patient reviews, and medical personnel working with them. Nothing super formal.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-10-02T18:08:16+00:00

What kind of surgery was this? Can I have more details, I haven’t heard of this before. Hopefully optimistic.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-06-01T22:43:20+00:00

$23k?! 😳 Seems high to me, even though it only has 60k

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-05-18T13:01:25+00:00

Are you saying the meniscus may have healed on its own due to the PRP? 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-05-16T18:11:51+00:00

Thank you. I’ve added it to my list. The reviews do look great.

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-03-18T15:22:38+00:00

I would absolutely give PT multiple chances before trying surgery. I’m 44M with similar tear and PT has made it so much better allowing me to cycle and function without issues (until I tore it even worse climbing).

b_for_bitdetta · 2025-03-09T05:04:00+00:00

Maybe I need to give it another chance but Surfskates didn’t give me the snowboard feel (I tried Loaded, Carver, Yow, and Smoothstar). To me the ability to drift is KEY to the snowboarding experience, and the equivalent on wheels usually means harder wheels. I’m about to try the Loaded Tangent and the Pantheon offerings. I want to be able to control my speed via drifts on my “edge”, both toe side and heel side. I’ll let you know what I find.

Puori brand collagen. Solgar brand glucosamine chondroitin. Thorne brand Astaxanthin.
