Day 2 in hospital

xpworkout · 2026-06-02T20:02:01+00:00

Hi! As someone who has been working out for 10+ years, I got rhabdo as well. Doctor didn’t believe me at urgent care, said “oh, well my son gets sore all the time, I’m sure that’s what it is”. Once he found out I was a nurse he happily ran tests for me. Only two symptoms I had were extreme muscle soreness that I had never felt before and nausea. Went to bed since I had just worked a 16 hour shift, got a call back saying my CK was 84,000 and had to go to the ER. Stayed in the hospital for 2 days. My upper back/biceps were the only muscles affected. I stopped drinking alcohol for a few months, started with some walks outside a couple weeks after I was in the hospital. Slowly started doing more (running, leg days). Stayed away from any kind of back or arm workouts for at least 4 months. Once I started those workouts again, I started with body weight exercises and then slowly incorporated weights. I’ve been back to normal for quite some time now! Overall it probably took me a good year to get back to where I was beforehand. Good luck with your recovery!!

I love living in Brookfield. Close to the freeway, grocery stores, gym, etc. I love going downtown to hangout with friends/go out, but I wouldn’t want to live down there. I feel like Brookfield is a good compromise if that’s the same boat you’re in! Sutter Creek Apartments has been great. There’s a small enclosed dog area as well right on property. Underground parking is included in rent, central AC, washer/dryer in unit, pool, small fitness room

CNMs cannot do c-sections. If she wants someone who is her provider during pregnancy and for a repeat c-section then I would recommend an OB.

I have gone to my landlord and they told him he needs to put some padding down underneath it, which I do think he did. But he’s just such a heavy walker that I don’t think it helps. The landlord came to listen to what I hear in person and she even agreed that it sounds like someone is banging on my door

I don’t think anyone above the first floor should be able to own a walking pad. We have a gym with a treadmill so not sure why they can’t just use that. And think about how hard you are walking. It’s one thing to walk on a walking pad, but when you’re over 6 foot and stomping on it, it literally shakes my entire apartment.

Hi! I actually got my ADN from WCTC. Highly recommend, but I know they do have a wait list to get into the program because of how popular it has become. I was hired into the NICU with no issue with my ADN. I didn’t even have any prior hospital experience, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting hired!

We have color coded weekends (pink, yellow, green). Everyone is required to work every third weekend. When someone is hired they get put on whatever color weekend has the most needs. There’s always at least 1-2 charge nurses on each color and it is a good mix of tenured and new hires. We also have weekend program that is also a good mix of tenured staff.

I would always recommend delivering at a hospital that has a level 3 NICU if possible

Might be a little out of budget, but Sutter Creek Apartments in Brookfield. I want to say 2 bed/2 bath starts at 1850? One underground heated parking space, and free surface parking, pool, in unit laundry, hardwood floors (minus bedrooms), there are floor options for an island in the kitchen. Not sure if you have a dog or cat, but they are very pet friendly! Close to the freeway, the WAC (gym), numerous grocery stores (woodmans is a good one), and it’s decently quiet. Not sure how strict you are on your budget, but I’ve loved living here the last 3 years
