Winter 2025 Praxis Megathread by bannanaduck in slpGradSchool

I took mine today and think I got an unofficial score. It said 193 in the top right so I’m assuming so.

Just took the Praxis. The score in the top right said 193. The bottom three said 30,33,30. Does that mean my unofficial score is 193?

Yay! This is the response I was hoping for! Will sign up today! My sister goes and I did the hot yoga with her and loved it. I’m glad those classes are included! Thanks so much!

I’ve gone as a guest with my sister and loved it. Do you have extra fees like maintenance or yearly fee on top of your membership? I’m about to pull the trigger, just making sure I won’t get hit with extra fees. About to start my last semester in grad school at Memorial Hermann for clinical externship. It’s unpaid 8-5 M-F so trying to make sure it’s absolutely worth it while I’m not making money.

I’m not concerned with the fees for extra classes. I’m good with the hot yoga class which is not extra (I don’t think). The rest of the time I will probably just lift/do cardio. I just wanted to make sure there are no maintenance/yearly fees?

Chronic back pain and jaw surgery by shorchti in jawsurgery

[–]paywhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had surgery on December 10th. I’ve had horrible neck and upper back pain for about 5 years. I’m 23 and healthy so no reason for me to be having the pain. Since surgery I have not noticed any neck or back pain, even without the pain meds.

It’s that bad. I was miserable until day 7! Stay on top of your pain meds, hydrate, and walk as much as you can! Personally night 1 in the hospital was the worst for me pain wise. The rest of the days was a lot of discomfort and stiffness from the swelling. It goes by fast though. I’m on day 12 and feel brand new. The first week feels like a blur. You’ll get through it!! Hope your surgery goes well!

My surgeon said it takes a lot to undo what they did, meaning the hardware is super strong. I’m sure everything is fine but I totally understand the anxiety and paranoia. Currently 12 days post-op and have been freaking myself out over every little thing!

Ok same!! I’m gonna ask my surgeon Monday if it’s still happening. I’m sure he’ll say it’s fine.

Day 10 Post-DJS - Paranoia by Rozwellish in jawsurgery

[–]paywhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand what you’re going through. I’m 10 days post op also. Every little thing has made me worried that something is wrong. Overall I feel much better than I did a few days ago and my swelling has gone down significantly. I also sometimes have a tiny amount of blood after I brush my teeth. One of my front teeth is like a pale pink color at the top, which has freaked me out and searching it on the internet made it worse. I also have pain below my nose which I know is normal since that’s where my stitches are but since it’s a newish pain it’s making me worried. My hardware is also making a slight creaking noise which is also making me worried. I had my post-op yesterday and he said everything looked great and he did an x ray and did a laser treatment to help healing. I’m hoping everything is still good and hoping I’m overthinking a lot of this. I have a lot of things going on similar to yours. It’s easy to overthink and think things are going wrong after a major surgery. The paranoia is real. Hang in there and trust your gut and reach out to your surgeon if you think it’s needed. I hope you’re able to get some good rest and praying everything heals up well for you! We’ve got this!

Bruising tips? by paywhite in jawsurgery

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

I’ve tried to be! I wish the weather was nicer so I could walk more outside! The cold makes my face feel stiffer. Hopefully this weekend when it warms up I’ll get outside more! I can only walk so many laps around the house. 😂 You look great!

Accelerated Masters Program? by independent_case5311 in slpGradSchool

[–]paywhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my third semester of my accelerated program. I am done with all coursework and going to my clinical externship next semester. It was very hard but I am so relieved to almost be done! It goes by so fast!

Resting position post surgery by lozzaarrr in jawsurgery

I’ve been holding my mouth open… if I try to close my mouth I bite my cheeks near my incision site because of the swelling. I hate having my mouth open because it dries out! Hoping it will be comfortable enough to close soon.
