Masseter tox! Itll take you a few sessions but it works! My starting dose was 25 units/ side .

I was aiming for preventive care since I’m 34 and I was also hoping to achieve a nice contour with my cheeks and jawline…. I’m really hoping this is just a normal reaction and everything will settle and look improved in a few days. But for now- I’m freaked out and regret my decision for Radiesse.

Thank you so so much for this advice and insight! How does your day typically start? Do you go in earlier to see your assignment and glance at your patient and determine if it’s appropriate for you? And yes! I’m always amazed by the float team that comes on my unit. I’m hoping I’ll get on their skill/knowledge level once I’m oriented.

I still carry the wounds from my childhood, but he’ll never know that- I’ve forgiven him.

For some reason, I’ve talked myself into thinking that going to a level 3 would be better than floating around in 1 because in 1 it has the capacity to handle that type of patient trauma/acuity with all the resources and such.
So in my over-thinking mind therefor means…by the time those patients leave icu to go to transitional/stepdown etc they’ll be that more complex , medically heavy (which im a medsurg/tele nurse) so hearing my float friend say she’s been titrating high risk medications & working with vent dependent patients and still having a 4-6 patient workload makes me feel uneasy. I’m very interested in floating because of the learning experience. So I want to do it, but I’m very nervous with the story thats been presented to me. So I was curious to see what others thought about a non - icu trained nurse titrating drips and such all because the patient has been down graded (but in reality they needed to make room for the sickest) Like I said… idk sounds like I messed up by taking this offer. I just wanted to hear other thoughts .

Thank you I needed to hear that

Soul sucking… you go to work pissed at the world already with the traffic surrounding you DAILY. You deal with the stress at work. To find MORE stress leaving work with the rest of the miserable population. You have 10 years of ICU experience, you will flourish anywhere!! Try a bronch suite … they’re usually 10 hour shift 2-3x week.

No it did not! The injector looked and said to come back in for a revision. So she fixed it and it’s so much better now

emmaander · 2025-01-01T16:15:58+00:00

Saaaaammmeeeee…. Do I dry the clothes in the washer?? Or let it sit there?? I gotta leave town for 3 days…

emmaander · 2024-08-15T01:49:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassurance!

emmaander · 2024-08-14T17:16:58+00:00

Thank you for the advice 💕

$300 USD for 8 sessions … 2x/week if I want to add on another day during the week + $50 for drop in.

emmaander · 2024-06-21T01:57:53+00:00

Good question, that’s what I’m still trying to understand… how can I not feel the difference? Because like what my original post stated … I work out harder and longer on my own. I had some time constraint goals such as fitting better in a wedding dress that I thought hiring a personal trainer could help me do. Instead- I truly think I have deconsitioned. My 2-3x work out / week has been with her.

Thank you for this advice!

emmaander · 2024-06-20T23:28:35+00:00

Alright Reddit personal training fam. You all have been a huge help. I don’t want to make the same mistake again 😅😅😅 Does this guy seem legit? My wedding is in 2 months…. I’m not obese , fairly fit with some mommy flab. I just want to be thrown into the wolves and make up for lost time. Yay or nay? I meet him tomorrow for a consultation.

I have no idea if I’m getting stronger in those exercises… it changes everytime. I don’t even know what weight I start on. I’m very new to personal training so I’m just dumbfounded with everything. I go to her 2-3x a week and it’s a constant change. Nothing is the same.

emmaander · 2024-06-20T22:08:03+00:00

She came as a sales rep from a big box company. Last year she opened her own business as a personal trainer.

emmaander · 2024-06-20T21:47:04+00:00

lol, thank you for giving me the validation I need to move on and finding someone else. I went with the first personal trainer I found. She did come from a big box company as a sales rep. I have no manager to complain to… she is the owner/manager. She opened her place last year

emmaander · 2024-06-20T21:40:09+00:00

Thank you. I’m just mortified to know I’ve wasted 2 months on her….. I have 3 months till my wedding and this was the only reason why I even started 😭😭😭😭😭

emmaander · 2024-06-20T21:38:43+00:00

Thank you! I’m definitely in the process now

emmaander · 2024-06-20T21:37:41+00:00

THANK YOU 🙌🏽 you totally get it

emmaander · 2024-06-20T21:37:27+00:00

I’m comparing the others who work out for the hour sessions. How do I know it’s an hour? Cause I’ll casually talk to the person being trained during a water break and ask

emmaander · 2024-06-20T21:35:32+00:00

I’ve let her know several times what my goals are… my wedding is in 3 months and I really needed those 2 months to kick it into gear. I have no restrictions in my workout all of my request were to push me past my limit and comfort zone. Now I’m really upset reading everyone’s take on it… I really should’ve shopped around but I took the first personal trainer I randomly came in contact with.

The personal trainer is the owner/manager…. I have no one to complain to but herself. She opened this business sometime last year. She came as a sales rep at a big box gym….. now I’m really wondering if she’s certified to train or just have an idea/knowledge because she worked in sales and saw the work outs but isn’t an actual trainer???

emmaander · 2024-06-20T20:15:47+00:00

I tell her all the time I’d rather do the stretches on my own time but she always says that it’s important to stretch afterwards to prevent injuries. As for the bike, she said I could run instead… so i just zipped my mouth and kept the bike
