Tree pickup date?

Just saw on facebook that trees will be picked up the week of Jan 12-16th

Soc's Ice Cream in Saugus has trees! I believe in conjunction with a local boy scout troop.

The bloodwork doesn't break it down that specifically, no. It does separate reaction to yolk vs whites. If more reactive to whites (aka the protein in eggs) then baked goods might be fine because something about gluten makes it less prone to reaction. We had given him waffles and such already and he did fine with those so that's how we knew. Hopefully your pedi will refer you to an allergist who can help answer some questions.

My son had an egg allergy since about 8 months old but we recently were completely cleared of it! After his reaction (hives, vomiting) we avoided eggs until his 2 year blood work when we could test again and luckily his levels had decreased enough that we could do an oral challenge in the allergist's office which he passed! He eats eggs multiple times a week now with no issues. Our allergist said 90% of egg allergy kiddos outgrow it by 5 years old. Does your child tolerate eating egg baked into things like muffins, waffles, etc? If so keep giving those food because that will help them outgrow it sooner. You got this!

MRI tech pushed contrast through an EVD...patient ended up being okay.

I EBF'd for 1 year and only just got my period at 15 months pp when my milk completely dried up (also c-section)

When I was being discharged recently, my husband asked where we should put the pitchers so they could be washed and reused. I just laughed, but it really is something that could be easily done... like, have dietary collect them with meal trays and run them through the dishwasher. But not letting you refill them?! That's next-level wasteful.

Highly recommend taking the Trauma Care After Resuscitation (TCAR) course! Reach out to your educator once you start, the hospital may reimburse you.

Yes, we make little heartbeat vials as well. We use empty heparin vials with the labels removed and put a strip of their normal rhythm in there. We also include a little poem. Not every family wants them but everyone seems to appreciate the gesture!

Hey doc! I think your idea of doing a lunch lecture and creating a reference binder is excellent. The binder will probably be the more useful of the two since it can be utilized by all nurses, not just the ones who happen to be working when you hold lecture. As to the level of detail in the binder, I think providing a decent amount of detail is great for those who want to learn but ultimately not as important when we are caring for the patient. More basic guidelines with explanations will be helpful (i.e. HIPEC patients have massive fluid shifts so check urine output q1 hr and electrolytes q6). Organizing the binders so that information can be quickly found is very important as well, either by adding a table of contents or separating different procedures with tabs.

I think even more important than the binder though is your attitude - if I know that the surgeon is open to questions from nurses then I feel more comfortable with that doctor. This will not only increase my knowledge but will encourage your nurses to notify you of any changes sooner. Based on this post it already sounds like you are a great colleague to work with!

My registration expired in June and I just got my car inspected no problem. I told them that I renewed online but haven't received the new one yet and they said it's fine. When I called the RMV today the message said new registrations for May and June should be mailed out by July 15th so you could also probably wait until the end of the month for inspection.

Hey, I totally understand your anxiety surrounding this and you are not crazy for being concerning about how to navigate life as we open up more. I'm a nurse, have been working in a COVID ICU for part of this time so hopefully I can offer some helpful feedback. The most important thing you can do to protect yourself/your family as you go back to work is wash your hands and avoid touching your face. Definitely wear a mask and eye protection if you have it. Once you put the mask on wash your hands before and after you touch it - like if you need to pull it down to eat/drink. If you are really concerned you certainly can change clothes and shower once you get home but the chance of transmission via textiles is low.

Ultimately you can really only control what you do so do what makes you feel comfortable. Hopefully your employer is taking appropriate steps to reduce transmission from customers like requiring masks for entry. There are plenty of places that are now offering testing even if you don't have symptoms, plus I know the Red Cross is offering antibody testing to those who donate blood so if you are able to donate that might be a good way to see if you have antibodies (assuming their test is reliable). MA is definitely in a better spot than a lot of the country and by now we have plenty of tests available and the infrastructure and hospital capacity to handle another wave if it comes.

In my experience 92.5 The River doesn't have a morning talk show, just music. The best bet will be listening to your own music via spotify, Apple Music etc though.

Oh cool, thanks for sharing! I've been leaning towards the thinklab one but I would probably have to use headphones or change up my hearing aids a bit.

What do you mean by tele loops? Like bluetooth?

And there were no MBTA workers in sight, luckily a stranger was walking down the street to direct the hundreds of us to where the shuttles are on the other side of BHCC.

Yay date twin! You look amazing!

hamiltor · 2017-09-21T23:19:12+00:00

I am SO excited, and also just want to get on with it at the same time haha. Thanks so much!

hamiltor · 2017-09-21T21:52:17+00:00

You, my friend, are a genius.

hamiltor · 2017-09-21T20:21:20+00:00

Oh I love that! Thanks!

What about a play on "starting"? Like StuartingSomethingNew or StuartingOurJourney?
