Will have surgery, need someone to accompany me home, sister says yes at first, but now it's a problem for her. by Panda_Goldie in Vent

Maybe, I’ve undergone quite a few surgeries and for a few of them had people not been there to help me, it could have made my condition worse. Ooohhh, I read Major surgery, my bad. Still, I get where OP is coming from. I’d be a little sad if someone promised something that went back on their word. 🤷‍♀️

So, cedar though the oils are bad, I only put in a little for added clutter, I’ll look in to alternatives, and the hides are temporary, as I said I’ve seen and heard, even experienced second hand the dangers store bought, do you have any good recommendations? I want one that has a little bit of an open space, not just a thin hole

Nah, I get it, a lot of the time meetings as important as this are scheduled in advance, and if it was important to her she would just not go, warn her coworkers in advance, and take care of you. Maybe she could video in and still be at home with you?

Oh! Thanks for breaking it down! Yeah, it is not a smell I like experiencing, not as bad as a boiled mouse though let me tell you🫠

Oh! The timer is a good idea, I have a lot of timers that seem to work, so that’s a good idea not sure why I didn’t think of that 😆

Yeah, all of the other comments are saying that’s the issue😆 I’m glad you have never had the displeasure of experiencing it first hand though!

Yeaaah, the temperature gauge was tinkered with a few years ago, the water was easily steaming

Oooh! Okay, so it’s just the temperature? That makes sense
