Our girl comes home this weekend from bird dog training! She played with another dog often while she was there and seemed to have so much fun. This might be silly, but I’m afraid she’s going to be lonely coming back and being a solo dog in the house.
Has anyone ever experienced this situation and how did things go? And don’t say to get another dog…we will eventually 🤣
What do you use to compile data into a yearly IEP? Currently, at my school the special education teachers give the KTEA yearly…for every single IEP…. I’ve tried to explain to the coordinator (I’m the school psychologist), that this sounds time consuming, but I don’t think the teachers were given another option to collect present levels.
Just got my second IUD & my experience was overall very positive, so I wanted to share for anyone who might be as stressed as I was!!
I had the Mirena placed in 2018 and the insertion was horrific. The most excruciating pain, I almost fainted, then I came home and got sick. I ended up getting it out two-ish years later and went back on the pill. For years after, I had debated getting another IUD but had always been absolutely horrified after my first experience. I took a break from birth control all together and recently made the decision to get the Kyleena. This time, I have a new GYN. She prescribed me 5mg of Valium and told me she would give me a cervical blocker if I wanted. Ordered the Kyleena and made the appt for a few weeks out.
Let me tell you, I’ve been obsessing over this procedure over the past few weeks and reading story after story on Reddit & TikTok.
Today was my appointment, and I’m literally shocked at how much easier it was. I felt some relaxation from the Valium but didn’t feel much different. I opted not to do the cervical blocker because I just wanted to get it over with.
After cleaning and all the prep stuff, doctor had me cough, then grabbed my cervix with the tenaculum; that felt like a pinch but no biggie. Next she measured my cervix and that hurt - I verbally said “owwww” aloud but it was quick. Then she inserted the IUD and I yelled “OW, F%*K!!” - then she was done and I apologized for cussing 🤣. I felt some cramping immediately after, but it subsided and I was ready to go! I literally gave my doctor a hug I was so grateful it went easier.
Now I have cramping and some general discomfort but it’s not unbearable.
The reasons I think this time was different (but I truly don’t know for sure):
Anyways, if you are as scared as I was, you can do this!! You may just be surprised at how easy it is. Don’t get me wrong, it was still painful, but it was bearable and I would 1000% do it again. And overall, advocate for pain meds/anxiety meds - you know your body best!
My girl is 14 months and as of the past few weeks I’ve noticed she’s calmed down significantly. Don’t get me wrong, when it’s time to go out for a walk or off-leash adventure, she’s ready to go. But I’m noticing now if we’re inside the house it’s much easier for her to just laze around and relax.
Which I should be happy about but it worries me - is she sick? Bored? Or is this typical growing into an adult dog and we’re getting past the puppy phase?
