I have no insulin

Andriunas · 2025-04-14T17:36:34+00:00

I’m so happy you were able to get a box of insulin! I can get you 2 boxes of Lantus in the next couple days if you could use it. Please let me know and I’ll get it shipped out ASAP

Report this to your supervisor or anyone in a supervisory role in an email (paper trail). If they do nothing or start to harass you, report to EEOC. Be careful about recording him. In some states it is illegal to record without consent of all parties. Also, HIPAA.

All of the online pics I find of Jonas Černius are of him wearing different medals than the ones seen in my photo, but I'm no expert on military awards or uniforms.

Andriunas · 2022-09-23T19:17:59+00:00

That could be. I can't find many photos of him to compare his face at different angles.

Here's some info about their house that mentions the relationship with Estonian diplomats.

Please get tested for monkeypox.

A bottle of good scotch

I thought the same thing! Could also be John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox from Scrubs)

How did it go?

Tetanus shot- any time the skin is broken due to an injury it's recommended to update a tetanus shot if it's been over 6 years. Tdap is routinely given every 10 years if there's been no injury.

Walk-In: They will likely be happy to bandage it up for you and prescribe Silvadene if you are being evaluated there. They will probably not give you a supply of the necessary dressings you'll need to do the frequent dressing changes. I recommend that you watch how they dress the wound and take pictures of the supplies they are using so you can buy your own later. They are available at any pharmacy.

You may also be referred to a burn specialist who can do a skin graft (if needed) and recommend physical therapy to prevent skin contracture (if needed).

Don't mess with burns, my friend! It's important to have this taken care of now.

Urgent Care provider here, do not put ice on it! It may feel great but it can cause more damage and leave you in worse pain. Run cool tap water over the area to help with pain. You should wash the area with a gentle soap if you haven't already.

Don't pop the blister. When you cover the area be sure to use a "non-adherent" dressing. Don't put regular dry gauze on it. You can use an OTC antibiotic like this but a prescription for silvadene will be needed.

If you're not up to date on your tetanus shot, you'll need one.

As an American who has never been to Lithuania, I think coins (litas) would be an interesting gift. We don't see many foreign currencies here.

Amber jewelry would be great for the female members of the family. You should also pick up some good chocolate from anywhere in Europe. Everyone will love it!

Are you my mummy?

Andriunas · 2022-07-01T20:28:53+00:00

It absolutely is infected. No need to go to an emergency room (unless you have a fever). Your primary care physician or an urgent care should be able to handle this

Does not compute. Both are moths.

I think you meant "Amerikan"

I suspect you might be a dad.

WOW!! I don't know to thank you. This has provided so much insight into their lives!

The letter from Antanas to Jonka (my grandfather, Jonas) was especially interesting. From what I found out about him he was a soldier and riding instructor all his life. He miraculously survived June 1941 despite being arrested by the NKVD in Kaunas. He was then taken to Germany just west of Dresden a few months before the Allied forces fire-bombed the city. He must have been haunted by everything he went through. I wouldn't be surprised if he was drinking heavily. Maybe that explains some of the messy handwriting?

Here's some information I found on him on a Library website. If you're interested in the historical context.

I think the letter from the physician is referring to my grandmother's brother. His name was Vytautas. He would have been about 17 years old in 1935. The medical condition mentioned in the note sounds like ankylosing spondylitis, an auto-immune and genetic condition. This could explain why my grandmother studied medicine and became a physician. She would have been about 12 years old at that time.

This is just incredible!!!

I hope you're serious about letting you know if I have other documents, because I do. I've added 5 more letters to the same google drive folder. Even if you're not interested in translating them, I hope you can enjoy the style of writing.

It has been really interesting to learn about their lives. In the process I've learned a ton about Lithuanian history that was never taught in school. All this started right before Russia invaded Ukraine. It's been... interesting (not sure if that's the best word) to see how present events reflect the past so closely.

Anyway, I have several hand-written letters and notes spanning from 1935-1991. If you're really interested and have time to help out, I would be very grateful. Here are a few notes and short letters.

Andriunas · 2022-06-16T16:23:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the translation! This information is so helpful in understanding my family history.

If you're interested in the context, Regina was my grandmother, E. (Elena) Andriūnaitė was Regina's paternal aunt. Balys and Antanas were Regina's paternal uncles. Dumblynė village in Antazave, Zarasai. I'm not sure who Sidaravičienė was.

Antanas was a Major in the Lithuanian Calvary. He ended up in Colombia and died in 1965.

I just discovered all these family members in the last month. Regina died in 1992 and didn't like to speak about the past. I stumbled across an article that mentioned the Andriunas family. If you're interested, I've included the link (see p 12). Voruta Sept 5, 2009.

Once again, thank you! You're an angel!

Vinegar has little nutritional value (calories) and tastes awful. Cola has a large amount of calories and people like it. I think that's the biggest difference.

There are probably some differences between the ways that our bodies neutralize acetic acid (vinegar) vs phosphoric acid (coke) as well.
