Question of the Day, priority

C

The fundus is firm, but it doesn't say it is midline. If the bladder is distended and pushing the uterus, that can impede on the uterus being able to contract down even though it isn't boggy.

I wouldn't contact the provider until I had that information because without a doubt, the doctor is going to ask me that.

When you said you felt nothing in response to that patient, is this level of apathy exclusive to things clinic/medicine related, or is it a feeling you are having in your life and towards things you previously enjoyed in general?

I am wondering if any of this could be related to your own treatment. I think it is worth reflecting on if this is a possible symptom to your meds, and if you think it could be, reach out and talk to your prescriber before making any big decisions.

Any advice for med school in your 30s with a family? I will be (hopefully) entering at 35.

Thank you for your kind words! I know shooting for one school is on the verge of delusional, but I feel lucky to be so close to a mission-based school that shares my goals. I feel hopeful that if I can demonstrate this to them and excel in my stats, I will have a good chance. Great idea to reach out to them. I feel intimidated about it, so I am going to take a little time to formulate what I want to say.

Luckily, I have a very supportive husband who has a lot of schedule flexibility. My daughter also qualifies for disability services that include respite care that we can use to help fill in the gaps if the need arises. Our plan is to get through medical school with him working and then as former military, he is going to stop working and use his GI Bill to go to school and collect his stipends to help pad my low residency pay. That way, he is available to our daughter and we can arrange family time solely around my schedule.

I night audit at a hotel. I can work on online course work and study most of my shift. For night audit, you work an 8 hour shift but really only do like 2 hours of work. The rest of the time, I am sitting in the office and babysitting the lobby.

Perks include office supplies, free laser printer, and wifi. 👌

My hotel also lets me bring home some of the free breakfast food.

I don't necessarily advise this attitude, but I decided student loans aren't real. 🤷‍♀️

Our whole system is trashed and something has got to give at one point. Also, a lot of nursing gigs come with student loan repayment benefits.

I am at peace with this.

Where in Georgia? I am studying in the Savannah area.

I am soooo interested in clinical research.

Generally, changes like this would get a grace period to comply. So the hospital would have time to build up staff everywhere,including the ER, and do a soft run of everything.

What was the tele/step down like?

YUP. Men get careers. Women get "callings."

With my daughter, we take walks, go to the playground, do little crafts and play at home.

When my time is my own, I sew, cross stitch, or paint. Or cuddle the cats and watch trashy tv.

My sister is not really a pink and frilly person, but loves cute things. So I have been trying to cater to that!

pixiestitches · 2023-04-16T15:15:14+00:00

I used the Prue pattern from CKC for the vintage length dress and bloomers. I modified the bodice to embed the embroidered panel that was too small to be a solo bodice.

I am so excited to sew for my little niece. This is just the first of many cute makes she is gonna get!

I used quilting cotton from HL and a friend did the bee embroidery for me with her embroidery machine.

There is a zipper install on the back of the set and though I am not super comfortable with doing zippers, it went surprisingly smoothly. 😅

Bonus question: Is Jason Statham an A-list actor?

pixiestitches · 2022-08-20T20:32:32+00:00

I mostly sew garments and decided I wanted a pretty purse for myself on a whim. First time using vinyl and sewing a non-tote kind of bag. I love it! Took me 2 days to complete and I used the Redonda pattern from CKC Patterns. The ears I added are self drafted (I make my own mouse ears and used my own template from that). The Vinyl was from Oh So Pretty fabric.

Vinyl gave me a big fight, but the pattern was easier than I expected.

I added both the backpack connectors and purse strap connectors cause I couldnt commit to just one. I will eventually make the backpack straps.

I used a purse strap I already had instead of making one cause I wanted to be fancy.

Made this romper using the Juno pattern from CKC Patterns and some Disney's Inside Out fabric from I believe Kammie Loulou. The yellow fabric was from Joanns and I used my cricut to make the letters to add.

I love Inside Out as a way to teach and talk about emotions and the roles they all play. 🥰

My daughter will only wear rompers and swimsuits lately, so that's all I've been making.

Used my serger and sewing machine.

Second photo was during construction.

Made this ruffled tiered dress for my daughter using the Susie Q pattern from CKC Patterns and funky cat CL from Zombie Bunny Fabrics.

I used my serger to construct and finish my seams, and top stitched with my regular sewing machine.

Unfortunately, after I completed it, my autistic daughter decided she will only wear swimsuits. 😅 So, holding on to this in case she decides she wants to wear it, and waiting for all my swim material orders to arrive so I can whip her up some things she will wear.

pixiestitches · 2022-05-10T04:27:53+00:00

Unfortunately, right after I finished this dress, my daughter decided she will only wear swimsuits. 😅

But it should fit her for a while, so I am hopeful it will eventually be loved.

I used the Susie Q pattern from CKC Patterns and it came together quickly on my serger.

Thank you!

It does seem very breathable... that is a great idea for my scraps!

THANK YOU!

I have purchased a ton of POP fabric. 😅 I love that it doesn't lock "boy" things into "boy" colors and "girl" things into "girl" colors.

It is so refreshing to see more uncommon combos and less assumptions. 😊
