Help with semicolon or comma here

Hi. I have a new account and this one uses a lot of continuations in her sentences. Should I do more commas or semicolons for these? I've re-read the rules but still am not sure.  See below.


1. She reports thinking a lot about dependency, finding her own answers within herself.


(should I use the comma like I have above for these types of sentences?)


2. She is doing that often; say in work situations and other situations she is confirming that she is less passive.


(should I use the semicolon as  I have above?)


I'm really confused about these breaks in sentences that aren't complete sentences.


Thanks.

Could it possibly be diaphragm in situ? Sometimes they'll use that if they're describing the length of the diaphragm/hernia.

Subject: it is coffee-ground emesis.....sm

they sometimes do dictate *coffee grounds* but then no emesis would be after that.....coffee-ground material, coffee-ground emesis, or just coffee grounds........

I should have known that. It was early and I woke up late this morning. I should have given myself a little time to think about that one rather than jump and post on here so quickly. Thanks to both for your messages. :) Merry Christmas!

Just FYI, there are more french terms medically speaking, i.e., there is also *peau d'orange* which is *orange skin* used in medicine to describe something with the look (orange color) and texture (dimpled appearance) of an orange peel; for example the skin of the breast in inflammatory breast cancer or the retina in pseudoxanthoma elasticum.
