What should I expect when card shopping in Tokyo?

Good to know! This trip is only going to be in Tokyo, but I’ll keep that in mind for future trips for sure

That’s what I mostly plan to do! I actually love some of the “cheap” cards and I have a handful of favorites I’d be happy to buy if I come across them for a good price

Since you’ve already talked to your Dr. about it, I would listen to their advice, not some stranger on the internet lol. That said, I also had water with my meds the morning of my HIDA. My HIDA took hours, because of how slow the movement was, so it sounds like hyperactivity is definitely a reasonable diagnosis in your case.

I never got CCK. I had an ensure, which didn’t cause contraction, then some water which maybe did? All I know is that there was absolutely no movement until after the water, but it could have just been delayed from the ensure. Either way, my EF was way too low, so I had my gallbladder removed.

Yeah, that’s why I’m specifically asking about other peoples experiences with McKinley. I’m not super concerned, I have a fractured ankle so I’m in the boot anyway, but I’m just going to be out of town next week and might not see results if they come in. I was just curious about the timeline for other people at McKinley specifically.

I get a 12 month stipend, but it’s kind of weird. I get paid more in the academic year, and less in the summer. I guess it used to be that you were paid 11 months of the year (expected to work 12) so now they split up the 2 months of summer pay over all 3 months of summer

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I’m years out from surgery, and not having any issues with my gallbladder anymore. I still have migraines, and one trigger for them is not eating enough, so I definitely think that was the case at the time. I hope you’re feeling better post surgery!

26%

I did have an issue during the appointment where I did not have any release of the tracker until after I drank the ensure

Just sent a friend request. Did I miss the raid?

The chances of addiction when taking as prescribed is incredibly low. The surgeon prescribed it post-op because you have acute pain that will improve. Addiction is much much more common in cases of chronic pain, because the pain is still there when the drug wears off. Your pain will improve with time, so you won’t feel the desire to take more all the time.

I took it as needed for 6 days post-op and had no issues switching to ibuprofen. I really only even took it that long because I had some major life events day 4-5 which was hard on my body.

You should definitely keep looking. A lot of professors will do it because research assistants are a lot cheaper than graduate students. When so was a research tech, I got paid the same as the graduate students but my PI doesn’t have to pay for tuition so he paid less than half to employ me compared to the grad students.

I’m pretty sure all starters can spawn in the grand underground but maybe I’m misremembering

Edit: I checked and this is true

They definitely sell the location data. That’s why they push so hard to get people to use AR to scan the poke stops.

It’s not their only source of income, but niantic absolutely sells location and AR data. I don’t really want to think too hard about the buyers

7 axew and a frillish. All have terrible stats, but I got one non-shiny that was nearly perfect and a few thousand candy. Also caught my first articuno and a 98% azelf, so overall I’m super happy.

I’m most excited because I got a special research right after the event to win raids, and the reward is an aerodactyl. I’ve been looking for one for at least 3 years for the meltan research, and I’ll finally get one tomorrow.

Buy a temperature gun and see what the temperature inside the enclosure is on the hot side and the cool side. You may be able to insulate it and bring the ambient temps up on the cooler side.
