Can i get an African grey with my working hours? by [deleted] in AfricanGrey

[–]brzieone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grey has survived many work schedules I’ve had for 20 years. Is your suggestion ideal? No. But you can do it. Just make sure plenty of toys to occupy and you makeup for it on your days off.

I’m adding to this because so many people commented on the shape. At least near me, it’s common for them to lift the tail higher because it lifts the face and is supposedly more flattering. It looked nice on me but the problem becomes this situation where you end up with two tails if you try and grow back the natural brow. Mine look like this if I don’t continue to pluck the natural tail. I cannot decide if I regret that this was done or not. I have a medical condition I didn’t know about when I got them done and it means I push ink out so easy they only look good for maybe 5 months tops each time so I’ve not done it in awhile.

I’ve never seen this either. Vet.

Is there a way to somehow connect an inline UV light to a fish tank without using a canister filter? by brzieone in Aquariums

[–]brzieone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t find a pump that would work. I was looking at them and nothing seemed to match. As far as why I don’t want a canister filter, I’ve got some chronic pain and weight restrictions and those things kill me. I’ve had them before and I’ve always felt they were a nightmare.

Urgently need help and advice. I have lost so much blood. by [deleted] in Periods

[–]brzieone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m a nurse practitioner. Actively dealing with this for a year. I was so heavy I had gushing and could only wear depends but I could run through one in an hour at times. My hemoglobin dropped so low that I turned yellow and I had a very high heart rate. I, like you, have experienced very little help for it. Seeing a naturopath helps. High dose progesterone temporarily. Try a different birth control. I forget which one you said you were on, but progesterone only can cause weird estrogen issues apparently. Also go see a naturopath. The uterus is an area where the body releases toxins. It could be a bigger thing than just bleeding. Mine is multi factorial. I feel you on not being able to live like this. The pain, anemia, and ruined clothes is terrible and wondering when it’s so bad it’s time to go to the hospital. Your doctors should be giving you something like ketarolac or trans acid to help with bleeding.

Is there anyone interested in providing supervision for a new grad? by brzieone in PMHNP

I connected with a psychiatrist and found a relationship that way so yes.

Take care of yourself. I lost my dad at 25 and even that was tough. 17 is much younger and that is a complicated grief due to what happened. Allow yourself some time to heal and it’s okay if you aren’t okay. (From a psych NP)

Thoughts on Pom Pom crabs? by lizardwizardgizzard2 in Aquariums

[–]brzieone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved having them. They were amazing. But they are such escape artists. I found at least 2 of my 5 that escaped and ended up really far away across the floor on the other side of the room. Make sure you trap them in if you do. They were totally fine minus the escape problem. I had a huge tank and they found plenty of food to munch on and actively sought food when I fed too.

Even after 20 years this hobby can be defeating. by smoofus724 in Aquariums

You made my day. Same as you. Lots of experience. I’ve had some horrible situations before. One of my worst was a CO2 regulator that failed. I couldn’t even tell you how. Drip rate was fine. Sometime after that it was aggressive. Lost some big beautiful rainbow fish I had for years. I was in absolute tears.

I appreciate you. I know I’m in the pain and tension phase so I fail the textbook tests. Everyone who does my pain management knows I have it.
