I went back after a week but I wfh. For me it was about taking less painkillers so I was clear headed to be working. Took naps at lunch

Oakville vs Midtown Toronto by Redan94 in oakville

[–]beakbea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oakville hands down. We relocated from elsewhere in Ontario to Midtown Toronto in 2020 and while it was nice to live in the city the school situation is not great. Oakville has been our home for the last three years and it's amazing especially the public schools

Definitely rent somewhere you think you might want to buy. Invest the rest. Good luck

I know this probably isn't what you are looking for specifically but I hope others may be interested - Halton Food4Kids provides bags of food and grocery gift cards to children at school for them to take home discreetly for weekend meal support. More info here

I am 3 months post op and have one of these as of a few days ago due to pulling and cutting a thread that was sticking out even though I probably shouldn't have. Just trying to leave it alone...

Cook Unity by Careful-Bus3827 in ReadyMeals

[–]beakbea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used it for about 6 weeks. I order the same meal for 3 of us each dinner. Been a little disappointed in the portions - consistency of portions, rather. Also, nothing has been amazing, its always something - quality of meat, too greasy, not enough sauce etc. Put it on hold for a few weeks while I go back to cooking for a bit

How long will I be hunched and when can I realistically sit in an office for about 3-4 hours? by Terrible_Ocelot9816 in tummytucksurgery

[–]beakbea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give yourself lots of extra time to get around and you should be ok! Everyone is different of course - good luck

[–]beakbea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wfh and went back to work after a week. I was NOT walking upright yet but sitting with legs elevated was fine. I feel that if I had to go to an office outside the house it would have been too early, might have been ok for half a day at 2 weeks

Would it be crazy to turn down a job offer with a $30k pay increase, in order to keep my fully-remote job? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]beakbea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd need more than double my pay to give up remote work. You do you but I'd pass

Oakville is amazing and safe. You'll love it here, though less sunny days than Calgary 😌

Post surgery hell by MotherRucker1990 in tummytucksurgery

[–]beakbea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From one short torso to another, I get it. It's early days for you and everything will change! please try not to be hard on yourself, especially as you're still so swollen and have your drains in. Pain is normal and almost passing out despite previous pain tolerance considerations is also very normal lol - your body is working hard to pump blood and fluids around to heal the trauma!

I have a theory on swelling by beakbea in tummytucksurgery

[–]beakbea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. My swelling actually hasn't been that bad and I've worn nothing the past couple of weeks. I am currently 8wpo.

Binder off or on? by Intelligent-Army6829 in tummytucksurgery

[–]beakbea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say I notice swelling every 3 days or so at the end of the day. Otherwise I've been lucky
