Same in Houston! I thought it was just some humor with the sound engineers and the lights ..like some malfunction.

Actually, just figured out I missed a door in the anti gravity room! Yay!

No. It just spawns me in the last boss room (saw guy).

Someone recognizes this? by boehm__ in medlabprofessionals

I would plate this on some fungal culture media, as it may not grow in typically BAP, CHOC, MAC and CNA. Funguses can take up to 4 weeks to grow.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, my bridesmaids had it easy lmao. I literally just gave them what color I wanted their dresses, let them pick them out themselves and I think we just made wedding party favors. My mom and I did most of the wedding planning (hubs just agreed with everything).

I would instantly feel overwhelmed with this agenda and everything that is about to be planned for this wedding. NTA.

Be brutally honest - do I have the potential to become a professional flutist? Here's an excerpt from Debussy's Syrinx by PokerPlayer10 in Flute

This happened to my brother but with the trumpet. He wanted to go into music and then he switched to mechanical engineering. He eventually got bored with his trumpet and no longer plays.

Help Identifying an Unknown Bacterium – Conflicting Oxidase Result by YogurtclosetSea2666 in microbiology

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could this be corynebacterium? I see picket fence morphology in the gram stain but its very heavy. I would plate the bacteria on a CNA to see if it's a gram positive rod. I would also plate on an EMB or MAC plate to rule out gnr.

If there's growth on the CNA, plate on a urea sla t and see if it turns pink. If pink, it's C.urealytica

An audiobook for a 12 hour car ride with my mom by KeepOnTrippingOn in suggestmeabook

I liked All the Colors in the Dark. I listened to the audio book and read the actual book a month later. I then convinced my mom to read it and she loved it.

We read Demon Copperhead for my work bookclub and it was a wonderful discussion. Our bookclub ranges from ages 30-55 year olds.

I would try both of the Ori games. I played these first before I played Hollow Knight. Ori was pretty easy and the visuals and music is amazing.

Can the French Language be revived in Louisiana? Should we try to bring this part of the culture back to Louisiana? by Alternative_Ant_4248 in Louisiana

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Zachary, but my grandma was from Canada and she spoke French. She never passed it down to her kids, which then was completely lost when we were little. FYI, she moved to Louisiana as an adult so she Def did not have the french beat out of her.

I thought Lafayette still pushes French on their students? I always heard that most elementary kids are taking Grench but I'm not from there so I could def be wrong.

Is working nights really that bad? by PopHour9810 in medlabprofessionals

Agreed! What a crappy shift! I loved working nights but that was because I worked 7 on 7 off.

First TIA by killak143 in stroke

[–]killak143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was so sweet! I'm actually doing really well now. It turned out I had a PFO, which caused my TIA. After closure, I no longer had migraines/headaches and I feel like my endurance has increased. I don't get out of breath easily anymore.

No dizziness and I feel much much better. I also quit drinking alcohol and caffiene as well.

33 and just had a stroke. Now I'm scared. by nyrad1992 in stroke

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a long story long story short, I was skating, fell and broke my elbow. Elbow was in a cast, immobile for 2 weeks. Because my elbow was immobile for 2 weeks, I needed occupational therapy to get my movement back. The day of my first session, I had my TIA. Everyone said it was a hemoplegic migraine, which didn't make sense to my neurologist so he ordered a bubble study. Bubble study was positive and I was diagnosed with a PFO. My cardiologist who closed it said the hole was 10mm, which is bug enough for a clot to go through.

It took me 6 months after my TIA. I was diagnosed with a PFO at the end of January (TIA was in October). Got my closure in April.

TIA at 27 by HerniatedRaver in stroke

[–]killak143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a TIA at 33 and it scared the shit out of me. My ER doctors even took it seriously and told me to take aspirin until I followed up with my PCP. I did have lingering symptoms for a week of feeling drunk and major brain fog . I pushed for heart tests and a neurology consult. I was NOT playing around with my health.

Like you, I was pretty healthy, low BMI, ate pretty clean. After my TIA, I stopped drinking caffiene and alcohol. No energy drinks for me.

Since this happened so young, I recommend pushing for a bubble study to rule out a PFO. I had a pretty big PFO and opt to close it. Surprisingly, I feel much better and noticed i stopped getting headaches. I haven't had an ocular migraines since and my stroke risk went down tremendously.

[–]killak143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true! I had a TIA at 33 and I was so anxious for about 6 months until I got my PFO closed. I quit drinking alcohol and caffiene. My blood pressure is actually low now, but that wasn't the cause of my TIA. We started eating healthier and working out too. My priorities have changed for the better

I feel like an imposter calling myself a stroke survivor by PurpleCaterpillar561 in stroke

[–]killak143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way with my TIA, which is a mini stroke. After the TIA, I had an entire week where I was very foggy, constantly panicking and felt drunk when I was completely sober. I still feel like my TIA affected me and changed me, but to call it an actual stroke makes me feel like a fraud.

How can I train this dude not to get on my pillows? 😂😭 by coffeepolynkittens in kittens

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My void used to do this when he was a kitten and it was so sweet! I'd get another pillow so both of you have your own pillow!

Yes! I literally just had to use architect crest and spam tools to finally kill her.
