NYSEG Issue?

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar with NYSEG because I am extremely confused and stressed out.

This morning I woke up with no power and a shutoff notice on my door due to late payment. My account number and name was written on the paper so it is definitely from NYSEG. Earlier today, one NYSEG representative told me I needed to pay $224 to restore service. I called back later and another representative told me the amount to restore was actually $111.

When I called a third time ready to make the payment with my card, that representative told me my account does NOT show as disconnected on their end and also does not show that it is scheduled to be disconnected soon. I explained that my power is already off and that I literally had a shutoff notice on my door, but he said it would be “impossible to restore service” because the system is not showing a disconnect status.

He transferred me to a specialist who agreed with him and isn’t able to do anything “even if I make a payment” and said they would contact dispatch and call me back today.

Has anyone experienced this before? I have a reptile who needs the electricity on for their lamps even if we can deal with no electricity for a period of time otherwise.

For context, I’m currently on short-term disability medical leave, pregnant, and have a child in the home, so I’m trying to get this resolved as quickly as possible. I’m mainly just trying to understand what could be happening and whether anyone else has dealt with this with NYSEG before. I know I should’ve stayed current with the bill but life happens unfortunately, so please be kind.

Can someone make this look professional please? 🥹

Hi! I took these today to attempt those cute belly gem sticker maternity photos, but I’m good at taking photos of others, not myself or editing ones other people have taken.
Is anyone able to make any of these look more professional and just pretty? They feel so “bleh” to me and I’d like to post them as I have no other bump photos for baby girl :)

Weight loss/gain?

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this with HG.

I was diagnosed really early, symptoms started around 5 weeks. I ended up in the ER about 5 times for dehydration because I couldn’t keep anything down, even tiny sips of water. I lost about 25 pounds in 4 weeks.

For almost 2 months I was getting LR infusions every other day and eventually had a PICC line placed because my veins were so bad. I also had to go out on short term disability from work because of how severe everything got.

I’m now almost 19 weeks and thankfully doing a lot better, only throwing up a few times a week now if I’m lucky. I had my PICC line removed last week and stopped infusions. The HG caused thyroid/TSH issues, vitamin deficiencies, rapid weight loss/malnutrition, etc., but baby seems to be doing great so far and measuring on track.

What I’m confused about is that even though baby is clearly growing and I’m eating more than I was before, I’m somehow still losing weight. I’ve gone from about 25 pounds down to closer to 28–30 pounds down total.

I do see my doctor again in a little over a week, but I’m just curious if anyone else experienced continued weight loss after their HG started improving? Is this normal after severe HG/malnutrition, or did anyone find out there was another cause?

Edited to fix how far along I am* Whoops!!
