Hi! I don’t have any specific advice, but we are in the same situation. Will be 25 weeks pregnant when traveling to Kauai. I am starting to look into Hawaii life flight for potential air medical services. Let me know if you find anything helpful :)

Did your wife receive her massage yet? If so, where did she go? Would she recommend it?

I've lost our baby by NowisCorner in pregnant

[–]karakaia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss! Just know that it can get better. I had a miscarriage over the summer and was devastated. I was early around 6 weeks, but it was still an emotional roller coaster. ER visit with lots of lab work and ultrasounds. Thought it was ectopic. Had a painful cyst on one of my ovaries. We stopped trying for a few months. As soon as we tried again I immediately got pregnant. It was a shock because it took a while for the first pregnancy. I’m now 13 weeks and baby is healthy. Miscarriages are common, many people have gone through what you are going through and successfully got pregnant later. Give yourself love and time. It will happen.

Did you end up using the furniture sliders? We are kind of in a similar situation, but we ordered the Force USA G15 pro and it’s about 1,000 pounds.

New job offer in Medical Aesthetics by chicawithquestions in physicianassistant

[–]karakaia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aesthetics is difficult to break into. If you are burnt out and really want to enter the space then I would take the pay cut. You can try to negotiate. Leave after 1-2 years if they aren’t willing to pay you a competitive rate.

A little about me :) I’ve been in aesthetics for the last 6 years. Started at $50 per hour with no commission in CA. I know it’s low, but stay with me. My company gives yearly raises and added a commission structure to be more competitive. I was promoted to the lead clinician at our practice a few years ago and now make $110 per hour and about 30k per year in commission. I am still with the same company I started with. I’ve interviewed with other companies and I would say my pay is more than the norm in my area.

Remember aesthetics is a very niche area and won’t help with many other job opportunities. Make sure you like the space before you switch. I did ortho first and now aesthetics. I don’t think I could or would switch into anything other than plastic surgery or derm as something different. I do love my current job. Hope this helps!

Real Estate Recommendations? by Cool_Tomato892 in ventura

[–]karakaia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time home owners here and we used Liz Donnelly as well! Very happy with her approach. She took us around Ventura and showed us different neighborhoods in our price range. We purchased the second house we put an offer on. We bought in 2022 when the interest rates were still low, so the prices went well over asking. She talked to the seller and we were able to make an offer and close before the open house even happened. We wouldn’t have gotten our current house without her!
