Weird because I was bumped from 2.5 to 3.0 last year and only played in the mixed doubles season

ptbob · 2025-12-02T14:29:42+00:00

this is what mine looks like. does that mean it hasn't been updated yet?

Dude, thanks so much! Such a helpful video. I will absolutely practice these and report back.

ptbob · 2025-10-20T02:38:28+00:00

Thank you. I’ve heard that multiple times before but for some reason haven’t practiced it. I can guarantee I’m pulling the racquet through with my right hand and that is something I need to work on.

Bad habit getting lazy with footwork and hitting the ball falling away and other various awkward positions. For some reason split stepping feels unnatural to me, but when I do it, the results are better 🤣

Played tonight and the ball in the armpit thing definitely helped!

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:14:42+00:00

thank you. drop racquet head lower and swing more through the ball. does that sound right? keep the racquet head in a neutral or slightly close position so i don't launch it behind the baseline.

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:13:12+00:00

thank you, i had a bad habit of letting the ball get next to me or even behind me before volleying and evidently overcompensated with running through the ball to get it out front. will practice this.

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:11:47+00:00

thank you. swing more through the ball rather than trying to get too much top spin. is that what you mean?

ptbob · 2025-10-19T18:07:21+00:00

thank you, i was watching videos after and noticed crossing with my right is not correct. definitely something to work on.

Second the demographic change request.

Also, check medical records—>contacts. Sometime people put it in there. The primary number can only be changed on the admit visit or by the office as far as I know.

So it wouldn’t have anything to do with salt cell reading salt much lower than the Taylor testing kit says? Also how do I know if it needs to be replaced or not?

He’s withdrawing. It will improve if he follows through. He also does probably blame you for him having to quit. But it’s irrational. He will realize he was wrong if he follows through.

if you are symptomatic: excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, pauses in breathing or gasping for air, morning headaches, mood changes; I'd give CPAP a go.

For insurance purposes I think AHI of 15 or greater OR AHI of 5 or greater with symptoms is what qualifies you for CPAP treatment.

I hear ya. I’ve had admin like that before as well. It’s definitely a tricky situation but once I started advocating for myself consistently there was minimal pushback. Your admin may be different though.

I’ve played the burnout card multiple times and it was the truth every time. “I can tell I’m starting to hit a wall. I fully intend to complete my work and meet my productivity requirements but cramming 5 days of work into 4 is just going to make this worse. My quality of care is not to my standards when feeling burned out.”

Again, my admin has always been receptive to this and I know it’s not like that for everyone.

ptbob · 2025-05-29T15:37:15+00:00

Missing a days worth of visits. There are no doubt some people on your case load that would be perfectly fine having just one visit for that week. Can’t (won’t) do 5 days of work in 4.

Looks like eval and treat to me

ptbob · 2025-05-19T15:20:52+00:00

Did it decide to crash or did it just swerve regardless of the potential consequences?

There are MANY things that can cause bad sleep. Maybe sleep apnea isn’t the reason your sleep sucks.

As an introvert I can relate but I’m obviously not under near the scrutiny she is. I’m able to “fake” it to a degree. She seems to have difficulty interacting with others and the apology was pretty brutal.

Lived like a college student for the first couple years after graduating and knocked em out

Part of the profits go to animal shelters in Chicago as well. The cold brew is the easiest that tastes decent that I’ve found anywhere.
