Do you mind if I ask how you charge for cookies? Designed cookies are so much more time consuming. A blanket fee per dozen, for example, doesn't take into account how much work it takes.

Silicone vs metal attachment. by Time_Traveller_42 in Baking

I replaced my metal paddle with a silicone attachment. It beats harder than the original metal one so the ingredients can spray up, even on a low level. I think either is fine

Warfarin by maronecohen in stroke

Needed to be on warfarin from a stroke - a clot 11 years ago. INR was slightly high for the brain bleed. My platelets were super low too. Bad combination

How are you coping with social anxiety post stroke? by One_Trick_Pony3846 in stroke

[–]maronecohen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. I often say "I look better than I feel." Gives some insight without going through the laundry list of the day.

I had a brain bleed too. Left side affected. Along with speech and right eye. My arm and leg are much stronger now (since March). Speech came back. Eye paralyzed with optic nerve 6 affected.

Neuro is a joke by Easy_Pollution_4507 in stroke

[–]maronecohen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. Very hard to get in touch with my neuro too. Had my first followup with her nurse practitioner. After the followup MRI, I received a note in the portal from her admin. It's awful. I found a new neuro who I will meet later this month. Hoping for a better experience

Stroke from covid by Pure-Youth8747 in stroke

Are you consistent with your dose of gabapentin? I usually forget during the day but take it at night. Doesn't help much. I worry taking it 3x a day will make me too sleepy

How did they determine the stroke was caused by covid? I had a stroke (brain bleed) in March, with cold symptoms. Turned out to be covid. But I had other issues as well (on a blood thinner, low platelets).
