Peds EOR advice

I take my peds eor in 2 days and was wondering (to anyone who has already taken it) how it is +/- any advice to score well. Milestones are my weak point so I'm hoping the exam isn't full of that

Advice needed about future MIL & wedding planning

It seems like a lot of the ideas I like, she doesn't like and I don't know how to go about this without seeming rude and ungrateful. She is paying for everything -- venues/decor/food, even my dress so already it feels wrong of me to go against the things she likes. My fiancees family is very flashy and I feel like if I go against the things she's pushing for, I'd make her look bad and I don't want her to be embarassed of me or the wedding.

Looking back, there were many things from our engagement party I didn't like but I felt bad to say anything. I really regret it. The day didn't feel like ours. For example, she insisted I pick out a pink dress (which I didn't want at all), but ended up going with a beige one.

Ultimately, she bought the beige dress but a couple weeks later, she said that she wanted me to wear a second dress the second half of the night instead of wearing the one I picked out the whole time. I was bummed I couldn't wear the dress I loved the whole time but i agreed. Looking back at the photos, I absolutely despise all the photos wearing that second dress.

She's a sweet and gentle lady and she will go with what I like if I say it, however it's obvious by her tone of voice and facial expressions that she doesn't like it and it makes me feel bad.

I'm not sure what to do.

Had a revision rhino in December.

Since March my nose has gotten puffier but I’ve mainly attributed that to swelling. It fluctuates.

Redness comes and goes. Sometimes it’s red sometimes it not. No temperature changes. No pain, no discharge. I use tretinoin and take 10 mg accutane. Does this sound like a staph infection?

I'm asking because my fiancees mom bought two $900 dresses and spent another $300 in total getting both of them tailored. I got engaged in July 2025, and I have no use for these dresses anymore. Does it look bad if I were to sell these?
