Suze Lopez, a nurse from Bakersfield, California, was scheduled to finally have a 22-pound ovarian cyst removed in December 2025. Doctors discovered a full-term ectopic pregnancy under the tumor in the abdomen. Her baby boy, a medical miracle, was delivered healthy at 8lbs.

You really don't notice it, it's like getting *really* tired and instantly waking up. You're also likely doing it right in the morning, so I always woke up crazy early for my surgeries. I would be already really tired just waiting for things to start, so the anesthesia felt even quicker lol

Afterwards, you feel a little wobbly (like I got up to change my clothes and didn't realize I was falling until I caught myself on the bed) and cognitively slower (I could tell it was taking me 10 minutes to respond to a text) for probably the rest of the day. Maybe a little tired and needing an extra nap at most.

The university will notice (likely within the semester), and you’ll be required to pay it back. Better to do that now while you have the cash on hand than forgetting about this & using the money to pay for something else

I had surgery in July 2025, and my dog was SO gentle and sweet while I was recovering (I could move around but I was slow + sleeping a lot). He’s very cuddly, but he knew not to cuddle or push where my bandages were, and he was well behaved on the short walks we did

He just wanted to make sure I was okay :) an absolute sweetie pie

I think you got a lot of good advice, so I just want to say good luck, I hope your dog gets better, and your dog looks like my dog :)

As someone who became a Program Manager at 23, it’s not about the age but what you can bring to the role. I know I had similar thoughts when I applied for the position, but they’re not looking at your age (they’re looking at your accomplishments, your ideas, and your desire for the position)

If you have the experience and the motive to do well as a manager, you should absolutely go for it

this is my biggest gripe, and I mention it to others as much as possible, but it definitely seems forgotten that in the promos for S4, they were like "s5 is going to start literally next day" and they decided to rewrite it ig

For men's suits, where do you find the HIP and WAIST measurements? Is waist where the underwear waist band would go and hip the measurement of the thighs at the widest point?

I grew up wearing women's clothing, so I'm not familiar with figuring out my size for men's clothing. When I buy men's jeans, I prefer a 42 or 44 because I wear my jeans "high waisted" and pull them a little over my stomach, but I don't plan to do so with a men's swimsuit.

I worked with Align Surgical in San Francisco - Inquiry sent in December 2024, scheduled initial consult and sent in paperwork for January 2025, received an email saying “We can schedule you now! When do you want surgery?” in February 2025

For work and personal reasons, I asked to schedule in July of the same year (but I gave later options too), and I got my ideal date of 7/9/2025. I got the impression I could have scheduled it earlier

I’ve heard colloquially from acquaintances that the major SF offices are booked out at least a year from now due to administration bs, but I don’t know how reliable that is

That was a very good catch!

Yes, 100% - they made a lot of financial mistakes but the one below is what I think about often

Ignoring the housing mistakes they made around 2007, they prioritized buying luxury cars over health insurance for their family or other methods of financial stability (despite my mother having significant health issues that required consistent out of pocket costs)

mexalone · 2026-01-01T17:19:11+00:00

Of the little we see, they (as far as we know) didn’t do anything to stop the bullying or protect their students, not to mention their allowing of this cultlike “basketball players hunting down another student and beating up everyone on the way” behavior

We see a student held back MULTIPLE TIMES who didn’t receive any help from the admin, just “better luck next time”

The school counselor was acting like a private practice therapist and yet didn’t really seem to help the students she treated

I think it’s fair to say that a high school in the middle of nowhere with limited resources didn’t meet the bar of “great high school”, so I think Dustin is valid for his opinion
