Hi, so i just got a modded chip installed. I followed the guide but then everything was working with HATS installed and atmosphere and hekate. Then there was this tile of a game that was grey and kept loading, so i accidently pressed 'update'. Then when i tried to load my emmumc again, the screen was yellow and I couldn't enter anymore. Because i was in panic mode, i accidently also wiped the sycmumc and now I can only enter the normal side of the nintendo switch but not by launching in hekate anymore. I need your help!! Like please I'm such a noob but i just want to have fun playing games. If any kind soul on here want's to help me it's very much appreciated!

The two main issues: yellow screen with booting in hekate when booting in sycmmc there is the message: No mandatory pkg1 files provided. Please I'm freaking out, and i get that I'm not good at this lol! I'm really trying.

I do have a backup from the original NAND but honestly i tried to restore it and it was just the same? I don't know what I did wrong :(

I literally have such a nauseous stress feeling constantly because of this. I really want to fix it and i would never just do things randomly again because look where that got me ..

Hi everyone,

I’m a 22-year-old woman from the Netherlands, and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

After years of constant burning pain, I finally travelled to San Diego to see Dr. Alyssa Dweck Yee. After my examination and biopsy, I was diagnosed with acquired neuroproliferative vestibulodynia with increased mast cells. She recommended a complete vestibulectomy with a buccal mucosal graft.
I knew travelling to the US would be expensive, but I genuinely expected the total cost to be somewhere around $10,000–20,000. When I received the estimate today while being back in my home country, I burst into tears.

The total estimate is almost $69,000, and that’s already the discounted self-pay price. The original estimate was close to $250,000. What shocked me even more is that this isn’t even an inpatient surgery, it’s an outpatient procedure, so I won’t even be staying overnight in the hospital.

Because I live in the Netherlands, I don’t have US health insurance, so everything has to be paid out of pocket. Unfortunately, my Dutch insurance won’t cover treatment like this abroad.

I’m absolutely devastated because after years of pain, I finally felt like I had found a surgeon I trusted and a chance to get my life back. Now it feels completely out of reach.

Has anyone else, especially international patients, experienced something similar? Were you able to negotiate the hospital costs further, or did the final bill end up being lower than the estimate? And if anyone knows of another surgeon with experience performing a complete vestibulectomy with a buccal mucosal graft, especially in Europe, I would be so grateful to hear about it.

Thank you so much for reading. ❤️

Hi everyone,
I’m a 22-year-old student from the Netherlands and I recently had a consultation with Dr. Alyssa Yee for surgery to treat my severe vulvodynia.

I just received the cost estimate and I’m devastated. Dr. Yee’s surgeon fee is around $4,800, which I could somehow manage. But the hospital fee alone is over $63,000, bringing the total estimate to $68,736. Ever since I opened the estimate, all I’ve been able to do is cry.

There is simply no way I can afford that.
Unfortunately, this surgery isn’t performed in my country, so travelling to the US is my only option.

What also confused me is that during my consultation Dr. Yee performed a biopsy. (Which was positive for elevated mastcells) She told me I wouldn’t have to pay anything beyond what I had already prepaid, and even said I might receive a refund from the hospital. But after I got back home to the Netherlands, I unexpectedly received another bill from Scripps for over $600 for the biopsy. I contacted the hospital and they explained that they charge separate facility fees for the biopsy. That was already a shock, and now seeing this surgery estimate has completely broken me.

Has anyone else had surgery with Dr. Yee at Scripps? Were your hospital fees this high? Were you able to negotiate them, receive financial assistance, or have any success lowering the hospital charges? I have to pay out of pocket because my insurance here can’t cover it or any insurance in the netherlands won’t, and i can’t get US insurance.

Any advice or experiences would mean so much right now. Thank you. ❤️

I honestly felt like even traveling that long was for nothing and going there. My heart feels broken.

Hi everyone in San Diego! 😊

My friend and I are visiting San Diego from the Netherlands this July, and one of the things we're excited about is visiting the San Diego Zoo!

Since we're both students, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask: if you never ask, the answer is always no. I'm trying to save money wherever I can, especially since I've heard San Diego can be so expensive. I'll actually be in San Diego not only for a little holiday, but also for a medical appointment, so we're trying to keep our trip as affordable as possible.

I was wondering if anyone happens to have a Zoo membership with unused guest discounts or any discount tickets they won't be using. If so, it would genuinely help us out so much, and I'd be really grateful.

Also, if you have any recommendations for must-visit spots, hidden gems, great food, or fun things to do that aren't super touristy, I'd love to hear them! We'd much rather experience the places that locals love than only the typical tourist attractions.

Thank you so much for reading. I can't wait to visit San Diego! 💗

Hi everyone!! I need your help 🌻

I’ve been seeing so many photos taken with the Canon G7X Mark III lately and I honestly think they look so beautiful. The colors feel really nicely saturated and flattering, and the overall quality just looks amazing, especially for vacation photos and capturing lovely moments.

I’ve been thinking about starting to document my life more. I deal with chronic pain and have a lot of ups and downs, and I feel like it would mean a lot to have something to look back on later. I also feel like I could really use a bit of a confidence boost and finally take photos of myself that I actually find pretty ☺️

I know the G7X Mark III is really hyped on social media right now, but it’s also really expensive and that makes me hesitate a bit. I know quality is worth a price of course, but I really want to ask people that know way better than me their opinion! that's why I'm posting this question on here.

I’m going on a beach vacation soon and I would love to take beautiful photos of my family, nature, and maybe even myself if someone manages to capture me in a nice way.

So I was wondering if anyone knows of a camera that gives a similar look or quality but is maybe a bit more affordable. I’d really appreciate any advice 🤍

Love,
Sam
