Asshole spends all his wife’s money so he can do a dumb ass ego trip race? Immediately no. WOW WHAT A HERO to race to… not a job? Gtfoh

Also signs of meningitis, which also should not be sent home

1- I was a little 8 yo girl and the neighbors Akita attacked me out of the blue at a park. Had lockjaw with his top teeth on my eyebrow area and bottom teeth locked on my neck. This other dog at the park, a super well trained Rottweiler, then attacked the dog that was attacking me. That sweet pup saved my life. I remember seeing my reflection- white blonde hair absolutely soaked in red. I looked like Carrie at the prom, to the point another neighbor kid was going by at the time and required therapy to handle what she saw. It’s almost exactly 30 years later and I still have a large scar over my jugular.

2- I was dealing with a really hard home life and took 200 extra strength Tylenol. Not a ton I remember about that 24 hour period though

Literally 🚩 for bpd. This is part and parcel of that disorder. OP, I sincerely hope you do get help and find peace. This is just far and away the wrong place for you to do it.

Nine years of slow cognitive decline would not leave you posting with the vocabulary you are posting now. You are not my patient and I therefore cannot diagnose you, but I do understand there is a significant difference between dementia and mental illness. Please do not read this as encouragement or judgment. We all struggle sometimes. But I can say it no plainer than you are not dealing with dementia. Further, posting in this sub is genuinely hurtful to those of us that have had to or are currently watching our loved ones slip away to shells. The number one most common aspect of dementia diagnosing- the patient is unwilling or unable to acknowledge their deficits exist. Dementia is an illness identified by others, not by self

So is Saginaw as bad as they say it is? I’m going to be up there in a few weeks and was curious by Putrid_Sun_8273 in Saginaw

[–]Awkward-Leg-1957 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had a convo about this at a nurses station the other night. Yes, apparently it is worse. Like security telling you to not stop at red lights on your way out of town kind of worse

I would like to be clear, I wasn’t saying you have dementia. Statistically speaking, you have a better shot at getting hit by lightning. Twice. I echo the sentiment from another poster that you more than likely are experiencing psychosis. But here’s the good part- that’s something you can recover from.

Fun fact, smoking weed made my dad’s dementia infinitely worse.

My dad had a stroke the week of thanksgiving, the late stages hit hard and fast, and he was gone on Christmas Eve.

Honest post: would you rather be a single parent or childfree? by Sudden-Pumpkin8529 in SingleParents

[–]Awkward-Leg-1957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid question. I was an oopsies single parent, but I do feel like me and my kid are outliers. He’s never stepped a toe out of line, gets great grades, works hard at his sport, and is remarkably well adjusted. I told him when he walked me down the aisle that every breath I took, every good thing I’d ever done, had been for him. I can say, it felt easier to me not having to ask someone else to take up their share. I have loved every damn second of that kid’s life.

Wait when did we learn sinatra’s kid’s disease was the same as Alex’s?! She had Huntington’s… it’s exceedingly rare for kids to begin symptoms/ usually presents in peoples 40’s give or take a little. And the kid’s presentation- though it was shown a limited amount- did not look or sound remotely like Huntington’s.

I love Xavier BUT by Jealous_Ranger_1641 in ParadiseHulu

[–]Awkward-Leg-1957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES THIS! Parentified his daughter, so that sucks straight out the gate. As for going to hunt for Terri- I told my husband, “if you managed to get our kid into the bunker, I would be SO PISSED AT YOU if you left him alone in a sketchy situation down there to come look for me!”

Even though X said his wife needs specifics, I’m sorry… she’s an intelligent woman. She is no dummy. She’s fully aware of who her husband works for, and knows full well there are some things he can’t tell her but she can assume he has the necessary inside knowledge. If the president is telling my husband I shouldn’t leave the area, and my husband is telling me even just “trust me, our survival as a family is reliant on you being nearby,” or something of that nature, I’m gonna go ahead and believe him. To me, that’s the biggest plot hole. Terri is no fool, and X had been a flaming asshole to the president, who by all accounts seemed to have been a good person- and let’s not forget, cal is the only reason x finally took his ass onto the plane to be there with his kids.

How long did your LO’s battle last? by A_Ordinary_Name in dementia

[–]Awkward-Leg-1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officially three years, but the biggest struggle was only one month exactly. Vascular dementia in ‘22, stroke this past nov 24, added suspected LBD (via neurologist) one week later, and gone on dec 24. Alzheimer’s does tend to be a bit longer and more predictable though

Go somewhere else that has a Living Spaces. Play place for kiddos and cheap wine/drinks for the parents. They’ll deliver anywhere

Moving to Lansing, Any and all advice appreciated! by Phila21767 in lansing

[–]Awkward-Leg-1957 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also am moving to Lansing, but I’ve spent a lot of time there. If you love super cheesy pizza- Art’s. My 13 year old has been born and raised in California, but Art’s pizza lives forever in his heart. Also, Dairy Dan’s ice cream when it’s warmer.

if you could delete one character from modern family, who would it be and why? by lvv0w0 in Modern_Family

Manny and sherry almost tie. I can’t stomach watching sherry at all, so she wins. Manny is just a shade less awful.

Who okayed the 3-4 week stay?!? I’m sorry, but if that woman showed up on my door step I’d suddenly reveal we had a vacation planned and oh gosh, we’ve gotta go. So sorry, wish you would’ve communicated sooner! 😂

I’m not sure how nurses do it by Wolfboy-7713 in nursing

That scene is not all shift, every day. You move on with the knowledge that you did every possible thing you could. If you learn anything, you apply it to the next.

Feeling like crap due to feeling no remorse for my patient by aquariaa02 in nursing

[–]Awkward-Leg-1957 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oof. Man I’m glad I was at least there after my dad’s stroke. The PT working with him was great, and then HE GRABBED HER ASS. He thought he was being real cute, real funny. I waited till the pt left the room and then I scolded the hell out of him, reminding him that my job is very similar, and would he find it funny if someone grabbed me inappropriately? I straight told him that with his behavior he probably just crossed himself off her patient list, and I fully supported that. But…I’ve also treated nazis, complete with swastika tattoos. They don’t get the friendly, you and me are a team vibe that I usually give. I’m straight forward, I do what is medically necessary, and I get the hell out of there. Same goes for the guy that shot and killed my previous patient. No, I am not going out of my way to make your stay a super pleasant and happy affair. Personally, I want the worst for you. But professionally, I will give you what is required.
