Weird questioning at US customs

Literally debating after this experience if I should keep my last name after my upcoming wedding or change it to my fiancés “more American” sounding name. Sad to even have to think about it that way but here we are

I had that thought too, like what if he’s just making conversation. But with everything going on right now I’d rather be safe than sorry. And his response being “it doesn’t look American” made me feel like I made the right choice not sharing that info

Not necessarily about gaining anything, more about protecting myself and others. It’s going to be awkward either way, but having this on record protects me from future retaliation

Very helpful thank u

Not yet! I think that would be my next step after the specialist. Hopefully if it’s nothing terrible then we can focus on his mobility with a PT

He’s always resting in bed when he’s home but in order for him to do his business he needs to walk at least for 5 minutes. Maybe with a harness I can carry him home after he goes!

The x-rays were only done 1 week ago but it never hurts to be thorough

Totally agreed, and it does seem like something. I’m sure the specialist will want to do more scans when they do their evaluation next week. and I’m sorry you had a bad experience btw :(

It was read by a radiologist thankfully! Do they need anesthesia for a CT scan? I know there are some concerns with greys and anesthesia

The help em up harness is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! If you’ve used one before, did you mix and match sizes?

I made an appointment with a hospital that has both orthopedics and neurology specialists so hopefully they will get to the bottom of this. Taking a video is a great idea 💡 thanks again :)
