About a week and a half after the initial flank pains that sent me to the ER, I finally passed this thing in the middle of the night. The actual passing was fairly uneventful thankfully. I didn't even know it had made it to my bladder tbh.
Went to the ER last night with severe side/flank pain and was diagnosed with a 5mm after a CT scan. The pain was incredible and non stop until I was given dilaudid. I was given flowmax and a prescription for Oxy to help manage my pain but not much more direction. Today I took the day off work but there's still pain on my side but much more manageable. I messaged my pcp about what to do next but I may not hear from them for a couple days. I'm terrified of going to work tomorrow and having another spell... What's the general course of action here? I can't not work. Does a pcp refer me to a urologist? What can a urologist do to help me deal with it? I don't deal with medical stuff normally. It took me 2 months to finally go to the Dr after unknowingly partially tearing a tendon at the base of my index finger
Just got the numbers back from a loan officer here in socal. We make too much for most programs. But doing a rough calculation with our numbers he came back with a max home price of $365k at 6% and a 3.5% down payment *just* to get our monthly payment to what we pay in rent currently ($2845). Only problem is there are zero homes at that price in our area. Anything close doesn't qualify for financing because it's in disrepair, it's 55+ or it's in a mobile home park (nothing against parks or just doesn't fit us).. Not to mention those homes are in one of the worst cities around... I didn't have my hopes up at all but to see it in writing and how far away we are is pretty frustrating
43M in SoCal. I got 20 years at my current job making about $95k/yr and at 30 my pension will be topped out. I hate my job. I enjoy the work but absolutely hate dealing with customers. Sometimes I'll go home early just to avoid it. What kinda degree can a high school graduate get where I can work without having to deal with customers daily. I enjoy working with numbers, math. My only hobbies really are music and sports and lifting in my garage.. I just don't even know what's out there...what's worth it and what will be relevant... Looking for ideas!! Tia!!
Like from the time you met. Things that made them the perfect match initially that have changed. Any non negotiables? Music tastes? Lifestyle changes?
