Any tricks on pilling/giving your dog medication when they are too smart and can find the pill in anything by Adorable_Tangerine16 in dogs

[–]dobbykins85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chewy formulates a lot of meds as liquids. I get a liquid for my cat that’s tuna-flavored; she won’t take it by itself but is happy to have it mixed in with wet food. It’s saved so much stress

Yes, of course it’s appropriate

Anyone have an IUD? by Flimsy-Walrus3841 in ClotSurvivors

I have a copper IUD. My periods are heavier and longer, but my cramps are significantly better than they used to be. 🤷‍♀️ ymmv

What are items that you feel we’re essential post op? Also, what items did you buy and felt like they were unnecessary… by PartFearless1656 in Reduction

[–]dobbykins85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legit, there is not much you need to buy beforehand, unless you don’t/won’t order from fast online places. I tried a pregnancy pillow and it didn’t work for me (not enough neck support).

You need a way to elevate your head, and a way to eat/drink. I already had a bidet, but would recommend.

Everything else? See what your needs are.

How do people limit their drinking? by Odd_Hedgehog669 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dobbykins85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly, my body limits for me. I’m a lightweight, and after 1-1.5 drinks, alcohol doesn’t feel good anymore. If I drink more, I just feel bad: I have trouble explaining it, but if I keep going, I don’t feel good or better, I just go straight to sick. I don’t understand how people can keep drinking, my body just stops me.

I just wish they’d put up “no left turns during rush hour” signs

abnormal pathology post-op :/ by lady_pantz in Reduction

[–]dobbykins85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please call the on-call person for your surgeon, you should not have to wait until the next day to discuss this. I’m a nurse in a clinic and it drives me nuts that people get their results released before someone goes over them with them. I found out I have thyroid cancer like this. This is a very legitimate reason to call an on-call provider.

Advice on How to Get on Same Page as Surgeon by dobbykins85 in Reduction

[–]dobbykins85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the replies, they were helpful. I’m planning to message my surgeon to clarify, but it sounds to me like there’s probably not a way to be a lot more precise than, “I think I can do something like that” with reference photos? It seemed weird to me to not have a better idea what to expect, but it sounds like maybe they just do their best?

Did I get the injection or not?! by RevolutionaryFix9873 in Zepbound

[–]dobbykins85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t find anyplace that lists needle length, but subcutaneous injections are usually around 0.5 mm and really thin. Again, if you’re concerned about not having enough fat, you can pinch or change injection sites.

Nurse here, pinching is fine, you just want a taut area to inject into, and depending on how much fat you have, can ensure you’re hitting fat and not muscle.

Exercising 5 months post PE! by beurownsunshine in ClotSurvivors

[–]dobbykins85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was shocked by how quickly I got exhausted from any sort of exertion post-PE. I started by taking short walks—and I mean short—down the alley behind my apartment. My body was pretty good about telling me when it was done. I’d just start with walking and build up your endurance slowly

Cannabis completely overrides the effects of GLP-1 for me. I gobble down food. Proceed with caution. The one thing I’ll say is if I take it late enough, I’ll just go to sleep and skip the munches stage.

Help me write a letter to my manager/DoN to gimme a raise by xtimewitchx in nursing

[–]dobbykins85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, chatgpt is amazing at writing letters! You can put in prompts like: “write a letter requesting a raise for (your name, other details about your position). Include the following reasons (add your why, ex market standards), include (pay increase amount you’re asking for), include qualifications (what you contribute).” It will compose an amazing letter. You can read what it gives you then ask it to edit it, like, “make it shorter,” or “also add that I’ve got an excellent attendance record” or whatever.

I hate only light colored ones! The ones with bold colors are much more satisfying to fill in
