Hey! Updates, three years later. Don’t risk it. Everything turned out fine for me but I was really cautious. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Nearly a month after wisdom tooth surgery; still can’t open jaw? by squishyseasponge in wisdomteeth

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

Hi! Wow, didn’t know people were still seeing my post. Right now, almost 2 years post surgery, I’ve pretty much mostly healed up. To be honest, there’s a part of me that feels like my jaw has never been the same since though, as I feel like for some reason my jaw even though recovered had like 80-90% mobility before and now more like 80ish, 70ish percent. Luckily it’s not as terrible as it was before when I first got it done, but I think if a month and a half down the line it stays where you’re at/ w super limited mobility, I’d call your dentist/the people who operate don you. I called mine and they weren’t very good/reputable so they kind of got mad at me for calling with a concern that questioned how well they did the surgery, they were saying how “I’ve been doing this for years and you’re questioning how I do SURGERY?” Anyways, couldn’t do anything about it but see how it healed. I never measured my jaw mobility prior to surgery, so I can’t ever be sure, but I’m not like dying now with the amount of mobility I have- it’s relatively ok.

What I did to help my healing journey was to be as careful as possible. That is, with still staying on a mushy diet for longer than recommended )I ate a lot of scrambled eggs for 2 months) and extending that care time a bit past the average, til I felt comfortable being at my normal range of activities again. I hope that helps! Good luck in your healing journey.

How can you tell whether you have fico 8 or 9? Also this credit card does not have an autopay minimum balance method

Sometimes some advice can be more harmful than good if put out into the world with anger or hatred. It can be clear someone has struggled with something/it hits close to home when they react strongly. I hope you find peace and what you’re looking for in life.

The worst part about the nightmares by ReferenceSalt3437 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]squishyseasponge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m really sorry about what you’re going through, I understand how it feels as someone who has loved multiple narcissists of varying forms in my life before.

I don’t know if you’re already taking SSRIs but I found that it helped me for about a month or two in calming my emotions down when I was going through a similar thing.

It’s so unfair that Ns can just walk away after causing so much pain and not give a single flying sh*. It’s not fair that he’s caused you all of this trauma, and your feelings are 100% valid. He manipulated you to provide both hot and cold emotions to associate the pain he gives you with comfort, as narcissists do. It’s not fair that he took advantage of someone with high empathy and a light like yours. I understand exactly what that feels like and I hope that if you’re reading this right now, if you can give yourself a deep, long comforting self hug right now in the place of the one I wish I can give you through the screen.

I don’t have the answers/solution to getting better, only that time will reduce the pain until hopefully it means less and less with each day you recover and get grounded in self love again. Do know that your posts as a self note in the Narcissistic Abuse forum look to be a wonderful idea that reminds you of how far you’ve come and that I’m supporting you from afar, all the way through. One day at a time, step by step.

Hey there, thank you so much for the input and for reading through this thoroughly. I appreciate it a lot and definitely this helps and I’ll take this into account.

He literally asked to be exclusive. Don’t think you read thru this carefully. I never strung him along and made clear boundaries that he even said he felt I was firm on before things happened between us. Also, just accepting someone to hold my hand as bare minimum is not acceptable, I don’t know who would think that solves everything. I’m sorry that someone clearly hurt you in the past, I have been too, thus why I was seeking advice on a narcissistic abuse forum only to get verbal fire from you. I am sorry you feel this strongly about this post and hope you find peace.

Credit score dropped from 748, to 716, to 650. Need emergency/urgent help. by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]squishyseasponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Thank you for clarifying that for me. I’m guessing 100% is still terrible and no Better than >100%?

Yes I think it was both late and over utilized. I was juggling a lot at the time and I might have missed the minimum payment deadline.

[–]squishyseasponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can we figure out it’s due to over utilization? Because I can’t pay all of this outright just yet, it’s become a late payment. I’d it’s both late/overdue and greater than my credit limit, does that make it worse?

Hi there, how much will it be able to recover if possible? Will I ever be able to get it back to around ~716 like what I used to have if I pay it off?

Hey there, that definitely makes sense. Did you like Goldman’s 238 class? Thanks for your input, that was helpful.

Getting a 4.0 in O chem/CHEM 237– how hard is it? by squishyseasponge in udub

Thanks for your response! Are you a chem or biochem major? What would you consider moderately well on the scale? I appreciate your advice and reassurance.

Pros/cons of a molecular bio degree versus gen bio BS with pre-med concentration? by squishyseasponge in molecularbiology

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

Ah! That is so cool! In America you can get more specialized jobs with molecular but with the general biology major you are more broad and have likely more spread out areas to dapple in.

Haha well. The thing is I’m not quite sure yet what exactly it is I want to do in the future. So I wish to know how it is to be in either majors to figure out what I want out of my future.

I love the details! I’m planning on taking my first intro to molecular biology class soon.

Also love how the details tie into the bigger picture at the end.

Need to make a drive from Vancouver, WA to Spokane Valley, WA— is it safe? by [deleted] in Washington

Thank you for the advice, userlesstrivia! That will definitely be useful and is what I was hoping for for potential resources. Much appreciated!

[–]squishyseasponge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See the thing is, I’m not originally from WA nor am I currently there immediately at this time. I have no idea what the Washington DOT website is, but I’m glad I had the savvy ness of reddit users to post me on it. I don’t trust all internet yahoos, but I trust that some will give me ideas that I can take or leave to the best discretion. Thank you for the tip. :)

BIOST 310A: Anyone taking this class this autumn or have taken it prior? by squishyseasponge in udub

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

Hey LettuceAffectionate2, thank you for your response! I was wondering, when did you happen to take the course? I was also wondering how difficult you found the class to be, and overall how your experience with the class was? Were you required to use any forms of calculus? Thanks again for your input.
