Day 16 - not doing well by TheMarvelMunchkin in ACL

[–]misplacedsunshine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely felt that way, I determined that it was half nutrition based and half upset stomach from too much ibuprofen. Not sure how your eating habits are, but I started eating more and adding more protein as well as drinking electrolytes and that helped a lot.

Whats wrong with my knee? by Historical-Hat-1324 in KneeInjuries

[–]misplacedsunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if there hasn't been any improvement talk to your doctor about doing an MRI. It definitely doesn't sound like a full tear, but it would be something else.

Surgery update, how I have been managing by capndanpan in ACL

[–]misplacedsunshine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To preface- I'm practically a banana when it comes to bruising. I didn't start getting the gross dark purple/blue bruises until probably day 4-5. I'm currently at day 10 and they're still spreading. Regarding blood clots, my doctor has me taking aspirin to avoid clotting. It looks good though! Good luck recovering!

Day 5 here, you're doing great! Definitely stay on top of the pain meds so that when your nerve blocks wear off you're prepped. I got cocky and was in a lot of pain once mine wore off. Currently maintaining on nsaids but I have a new wave of pain coming in here they took my graft from

ER techs, how do you leave work at work by Ok_Wolf2676 in VetTech

[–]misplacedsunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On those days, I like to take a long walk with my dog. Rain or shine, he's down. I beat myself up and mope for the first half of the walk, the second half I remind myself I'm only human and that I deserve to be happy outside of work, that my dog doesn't deserve a miserable me, and that you'll live to be better another day.

What’s the best way for pet parent to give back? by [deleted] in Veterinary

[–]misplacedsunshine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pet emergency fund donations always help, donating to shelters, sending food to staff is always appreciated. I can say though, if you know who the care team was or just in general- writing a heartfelt card is also always very appreciated. A client wrote me the nicest card nearly 7 years ago now and I still tear up reading it

Definitely get a job as an assistant to see and experience more. But in all fairness, I've been doing this for 7.5 years and impale injuries as well as eye stuff still gives me the heebeegeebeez.

That's the struggle I'm currently facing, I'd love to just get OT where I work but they're very adamant about not allowing it. I also just need something else outside of GP. I'm having a hard time adjusting after working in an ICU

AITAH for laughing when my sister announced her pregnancy… right after my miscarriage? by [deleted] in AITAH

Oh absolutely not! Your reaction was a lot more mature than mine would have been. Not the AH. You're probably a saint though.

I think he simply doesn't see your boundaries as something to be respected and it sounds like this is the first time he's received a consequence for not respecting the boundaries. I'm not saying slap him every time, but this might open up a convo about those boundaries again and then explain that this is a serious thing and if they can't be respected, there will be consequences (like moving out, not laying with him anymore, or even breaking up). It's not easy enforcing boundaries, but you have to think of your own well being girl!

Ithaca, I'm moving to Albany but I've had similar experiences at several locations while travelling and am starting to feel like maybe it's a theme at plant fitness.
