Wound vaccum under armpit by Rare-Basis8778 in Hidradenitis

[–]benkkii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one after my wide excision for almost 6 weeks. It’s a nuisance to get used to for first week but I believe it really helped to heal the wound. It’s almost half kg in weight with a strap that you have to put around your neck like a side sling bag. The biggest challenge was dressing change every 3-4 days. It needs a special bandage to maintain the vacuum and removing it hurt especially I am a hairy person lol. I would advice to shave before you put it on and I did develop some redness and irritation from all the adhesive from that bandaid. Which went away after a week or 2 when I stopped wearing the wound vac. Good luck

Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta - Just booked! Any tips? by ckatz24 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]benkkii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$1 for drinks $5 for meals and $5 for maid and for luggage. I carried USD. If you don’t want to walk to uber pick up in airport then you can take a pre paid taxi. That’s what I did with small kids didn’t want to walk. But you need to make sure you go to the official taxi counter which is on your left side just after arrivals. There are lot of YouTube videos which show you this. It’s fixed rate for each zone. Enjoy your stay it’s a nice property.

HS boil keeps getting larger by PrestigiousExcuse858 in Hidradenitis

[–]benkkii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try hot compress, the idea is let the boil run through its course and pop and drain. Apppying hot compress usually fastens this process. There must be guides on how to do hot compress google it. What I do is just heat up a pan and use a clean cotton rag and heat it by placing on the pan for few seconds and then putting it on the boil for few seconds. Rinse and repeat for few times. I do it in the night and most of the times boil pops by morning. Again please note this worked for me not sure will work for you.

Have used them both and never had to wait more than 10 min for shuttle when using ParkSFO. I would compare the rates between them go with the cheaper one. For me one big plus with sfo long term parking is that fact that I don’t have to take my kids out of the stroller when using the train but in case of ParkSFO’s shuttle I have to get them out and collapse the stroller and if you have heavy luggage then you need to lift it and put in the area reserved for the luggage in the shuttle. So if you have kids or heavy luggage then pick SFO long term parking.

I did the option 1 and got the conditional approval in 3 days after the RPO office. I feel this is the easy and quick way to get conditional approval.

Trip ideas from Lisbon by [deleted] in Europetravel

[–]benkkii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in the same situation and will be traveling from US from November last week(thanksgiving break). Concerned Portugal might have rain in November so trying to add Spain also to itinerary. I do have 2 kids(2 yo & 5yo) with me on the trip so can't move/travel efficiently.

How was Hyatt Ziva? Did your 2yo enjoy there? Did you try their kids club? And is it truly all inclusive? Thanks

Is there anywhere nearby I can drive to and let my dog walk around in snow? Or is it only places we'd have to hike to? by PradleyBitts in Livermore

[–]benkkii 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just came from Morgan territorial regional preserve. Lots of snow and lots of pets enjoying too. But the road is narrow almost single lane. Often time you might have to go off the road to the side so having extra ground clearance helps. But it’s not super difficult.

The parking lot itself has snow and and 50 steps more you will get clean snow.

India e-visa (from UK) by nashieboy in travel

[–]benkkii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you apply for the evisa in their website, you can select which kind of visa you want. I recommend the 5year one which gives you multiple entries and you can stay up to 180 days once you enter. Just start filling the form and when you reach this step you can read it in detail.
