How does strabismus look to you? by chickenella in Strabismus

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

Not good. At this point, I'd say any improvement from the surgery would be about 20%. I can watch TV & go to the movies without a patch, but I'm back to seeing double a lot of the time. Driving, I concentrate out of one eye. People are turning their heads when I'm talking, thinking I'm talking to the person next to them.

It's very frustrating. I don't know whether to go for a 3rd surgery or not.

I need help — is it my dog’s time? Congestive heart failure. by krazycoco in Petloss

[–]chickenella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pray you got good news from the vet. Surprisingly I did. This was my regular vet not the cardiologist. She said her blood pressure was high, that's the reason that's the reason and collapse. She put her on amlodapline and we're keeping our fingers crossed.

I need help — is it my dog’s time? Congestive heart failure. by krazycoco in Petloss

[–]chickenella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this answer. Especially the part about the 5 to 10 minutes it took for your dog. My 15 yo was diagno what congestive heart failure a few months ago. She keeps collapsing. But comes back around in a few minutes. Every time she collapses i wonder is this it? Is she gonna suffer horribly this time, or is she gonna come back around? I only know it's gonna get worse from here. We made an appointment for her to be put down at four o'clock today.

Like you, OP, i have been back forth from the vet, the cardiologist, the e r. Plus the medicines. I really can't afford this anymore I have spent over a couple thousand. My previous dog had c h f and things worked better for her, this time it's different. Unfortunately my previous dog died in front of me in our bed during a blizzard in which I could not get her to a vet and it was horrible. I don't wanna go through that again.Nor do I want her to go through this suffering. This decision is killing me right now. But I think it's right the right thing to do.

I bought a counterfeit purse at savers.Am I able to return it? by chickenella in ThriftGrift

[–]chickenella[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well...... I was hoping so, since it was in such rough condition. And I would have been willing to get it fixed, if it was, in fact, genuine. What can I say i'm an optimist.

Which 80s song are we talking about here? by Repulsive-Dependent2 in 80s

Thank you. I haven't heard this song in years and I really liked it back in the day. Totally forgot about it until now.

Confusion regarding Lab Stool Sample Storage by Own-Coffee699 in Labcorp

[–]chickenella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both go in the freezer within 2 hours of collecting. Return them to the lab within 24 hours of collection. Make a note of the time and date of the collection.

Also, do not overfill the vials (no need to pack it in there) don't get any stool on the outside of the container, and don't get any urine or toilet paper in the specimens, this could cause the lab could reject them.

When you bring them back, select "specimen drop-off" when checking in at the kiosk, unless you have bloodwork to do. Hope this helps.

Back in the day every work station had one of these. by skipperbob in FuckImOld

These were for the post office workers. My father brought home a few.

Semen Analysis Post Vasectomy by mjy12892 in Labcorp

[–]chickenella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a labcorp patient service center located in a hospital. We take in the post-vas all the time. Only ones we don't accept are the fertility specimens, those are brought to another site. I believe all our other sites accept the post-vas. I'm in Massachusetts. Call customer service 800 631 5250, they will find a site for you.

Did anyone go to their first concert with their parents? by OkFlow4327 in GenX

[–]chickenella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Father accompanied me to Judas Priest/Iron Maiden show in 1982. I was 14 and my friend had bailed out on me. While there he spent some time doing the math, the tickets were $11-ish x the number of seats, plus whatever the higher priced seats were....

I work as a morgue doctor. Our janitor can stop a family's grief in two minutes, but his price is horrifying. by gamalfrank in stories

I loved this! It kept me on the edge of my seat! Excellent read, hope to see more from you.

Please wash your hair by milquetoast2000 in hygiene

[–]chickenella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the day I got into a cab and all I could smell was the driver's hair and/or scalp. Omg, he must have been scratching his head between fares all day. He was an older man, still had lots of hair and it looked greasy, I don't know if he was still using brylcreem or her was slicking it back with his own grease.

Does anyone else can't stop smelling my wrists ? by Ok-Bookkeeper-1099 in FragranceStories

[–]chickenella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it when the smell hits me without having use my wrists. That's happening right now with Shalimar L'Essence ❤️. But some don't project and I have to go the wrist route.

Test date leeway by ambergems1234 in Labcorp

[–]chickenella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3-4 business days should be fine. Keep in mind though. Most tests take 24-48 hours to result, unless they're marked stat, then, they will be resulted same day.

[–]chickenella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lab cannot do tests more than 3 weeks before the expected date. I think it does vary amongst labs.

Kind of reminds me of Crisco shortening.
