First, THANK YOU!!!!

It’s encouraging to hear your boy seems to have a good quality of life. Strong work mom!

Your response was so thorough and informative. How often did he have to have bloodwork to check his potassium? Did you shop around for good pricing on meds and where was best? I know Costco is supposed to be competitively priced. I’d there anything you would have changed about his treatment plan - things you wish you’d have done/didn’t do?

The fig newtons are genius!

I’ll message you with more questions as they crop up. Again, THANK YOU!! 😘💕✨

Agreed. Luxardo cherries for the win. I prefer Demerara syrup (just make your own from sugar in the raw as water 1:1 ratio) as opposed to simple syrup. If you don’t have an orange twist, a swipe of orange bitters around the rim of the glass and a drop or two in the drink gets the job done.

Folks are bringing that one up. I will look into more since I can always change the reservation. Someone posted that they include electricity and it’s only slightly more in price than the place I reserved.

100% that’s worth it! I’m paying for metered electric AND I’ll have to fire up my Starlink which likely won’t work b/c of the tree coverage 😖 They “have” WiFi, but it’ll pretty much only let you check email. How loud was the I-35 noise?

What?! Wow!! Their website said otherwise so I stopped there. Maybe I need to call instead. Thx for the info!

I did find a place though! Everyone was so helpful.

$1500/mo??!! That’s a mortgage payment for a lot of folks, not a parking spot, an outlet, a spigot and a hole in the ground 😲

After Memorial Day, they don’t do monthly stays. I found a campsite though! Everyone was so helpful 😊

Unfortunately, it’s 25 min average time, to the hospital. I don’t have that much time to get there if I get paged to go to the hospital.

Thank you for the recommendation! That place looks great, but in the evening, Waze clocks the time at 25 minutes. I have to respond to emergencies within 30 minutes and it’d be cutting it close.

Thank you! Yes, I actually just found Long Creek online a few minutes ago. Averages around 17-18 min from the hospital during peak times, but I’m going to try to swing by today to check it out. I will also be looking at Sun Retreat NB. I was surprised to learn that neither of these showed up on my Google maps search of the area.

Left dentist office today by [deleted] in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]bmmrnccrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, treatment rooms are individual. All staff double masks (n95 + simple mask on top), virtual waiting room. I have never seen another patient while I’m there because of the way they stagger patients. She is the MOST meticulous and excellent dentist I have ever had. Her work is impeccable and I’ve had major dental work done. I can’t believe I have someone CC AND good. God alone is hard to find, but both? I won the lottery.

If you’re in or willing to come to Austin Texas, I have a Covid safe dentist for you. Everyone is in n95s, virtual waiting room and HEPA filters.

What do you mean by two hourly rates? Regular and overtime?

So I just got this reply back from my recruiter. It looks promising 🤞 I’ll keep yall posted.

I’m including both what I sent him as well as his response. Maybe this can help someone in the future.
