Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be prepared to stay in the hospital for five to 10 days. Schedule weekly appointments with the transplant team. Rest at home for at least six to eight weeks.

Answer: After the surgery, you will be moved to the intensive care unit and stay there for 24 to 48 hours. Then, you will be placed in transplant care for the rest of your hospital stay. You will spend at least five to 10 days in the hospital to ensure there were no complications with the surgery and that you are recovering properly. Depending on your medical condition and needs, you may be able to get out of bed and walk small distances after the surgery. There will be a medical team on hand to administer your medications and ensure you are recovering well. Once you leave the hospital, you will be monitored and checked by the transplant team on a weekly basis. You should also be given instructions on how to recover properly at home and what medications you will need to take. You should also schedule your first follow up appointment and any lab appointments.  During the first year after your transplant, you will be required to go in for check ups with the transplant team on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Once your condition stabilizes, you will be returned to the care of your primary care doctor. You should also plan to visit the transplant team once a year, on or close to the anniversary of your transplant. This will allow the team to assess your progress and discuss any health issues or concerns you may have due to the transplant. You should continue your care at home by giving yourself six to eight weeks to rest. Do not lift heavy objects or do strenuous physical activity. Reducing all physical activity will ensure that you recover properly from the transplant.  Try to do some light exercises, like walking and stretching two to four weeks after the surgery. You may also be able to resume more intense exercise like hiking, bicycling, tennis, golf and swimming six weeks after the surgery. Avoid rough contact sports, as this could put you at risk of injuring your transplanted kidney. You should also avoid driving at least six weeks after the surgery. You may need to plan ahead so a friend or family member can help you get around while you recover.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your doctor about prescription anti-nausea medications. Use Dramamine for occasional seasickness. Wear acupressure bands on your wrists. Take a probiotic.

Answer: Discuss Odansetron, Promethazine, and other anti-nausea medications with your doctor to see if these can ease your sickness or vomiting. Whether your nausea is caused by chemo or morning sickness, many of these can take the edge off your queasiness and help you go about your day.  Always tell your doctor what other medications and supplements you are taking so they can manage your medication regimen. Do not take multiple anti-nausea medications at the same time, as this can have serious side effects. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing so they can weigh the benefits and risks of using prescription anti-nausea medications. Take 1 pill of over-the-counter anti-nausea medication, such as Dramamine, about half an hour before participating in any activities that make you feel motion-sick. Adults and children over 12 can take Dramamine every 4-6 hours as needed to reduce sickness after nausea has set in. Talk to your child’s pediatrician to determine if Dramamine is safe for your child under 12. Stimulate the P6 acupressure point—thought to relieve nausea—by wearing acupressure cuffs, such as Sea Bands. These bands have no known side effects and are safe to wear throughout the day, if they help you. You can also stimulate this pressure point without a band by pressing about 2 finger-widths down from the crease on the inside of your wrist. Probiotic supplements may help in the treatment of acute nausea and vomiting. These work by helping to restore the microbial ecosystem in your GI tract. There are many types of probiotics available from most pharmacies and drug stores, and each may be formulated to help with specific issues. Take the supplement as indicated on the packaging, or as otherwise directed by your doctor.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: List your student loans. Identify your goals. Find private lenders. Ask questions. Apply. Consider other options.

Answer:
Gather all of your monthly loan statements and create a list with the following information:  The lender The amount you owe Your monthly payment The length of the repayment period Whether the loan is federal or private People consolidate their student loans for different reasons, and the reason matters for purposes of how you consolidate. Consider the following:  You want to consolidate because you are overwhelmed with paperwork. In this situation, you can consolidate some loans through the Department of Education. You won’t lower your interest rate at all. Instead, the new consolidated loan will be a weighted average of the interest rates on all of your loans.  You want a lower interest rate. You’ll need to pursue consolidation with a private lender. A lower interest rate will decrease the amount you pay each month. It will also reduce the amount you pay back over the life of the loan (unless the term of the loan is longer). You want a lower monthly payment. Generally, you should consolidate with private lenders. However, if you consolidate with the Department of Education, you can seek income-driven repayment plans or extend the repayment period, both of which will lower your monthly payment. Some of the more popular lenders include SoFi, CommonBond, and Citizens Bank. Typically, you’ll need a credit score in the mid-600s, so pull your credit score. Check the interest rates offered by each lender. Fixed rates range between 2-9%. Variable rates might be initially lower, but they can zoom up in the future. There are many people who can help you decide which consolidation path is right for you. Talk to your current lender and discuss your options. Consider asking the following questions:  “Are all of my loans eligible for consolidation?” Most federal loans can be consolidated with the Department of Education. However, private lenders set their own rules. “If I consolidate my loans with the Department of Education, do I lose anything?” For example, you might lose any credit you have earned if your loans are currently on an income-driven repayment plan.  “Can I consolidate if my loans are currently in default?” Gather your student loan information. If you are applying for a private loan, you’ll need information about your financial history: job history, current income, educational background, etc.  To consolidate with the Department of Education, go to www.studentloans.gov and use your Federal Student Aid ID to log in. You’ll pick which loans to consolidate and choose a servicer. You’ll also pick a repayment plan, which can run from 10-30 years, but income-driven plans are available also. To apply with a private lender, you should submit information about your financial background and your student loans. They will make a decision based on this information and your credit history. Your financial difficulties might be temporary. If so, consider different options that will give you some breathing room. There’s no reason to consolidate if you don’t need to.  You might seek deferment or forbearance, which will allow you to suspend payments on federal loans for a period of time. Contact your lender. You might also qualify for income-driven repayment plans on federal loans. Although you can choose these plans after you consolidate, you can also choose them without consolidating. On these plans, you might only pay 1-2% of your disposable income. As your income increases, you can pay more.
