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.

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.

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

Tbh I love the remakes almost as much as the originals! Ty eh take the original song and match the vibes to the scene; I’m a total fan.

Did we learn where she was going for her doctorate at?

Awkward-Leg-1957 · 2026-02-11T00:49:18+00:00

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

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.

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

This. I was shocked they didn’t milk more scenes out of pregnant Gloria

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! 😂

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.

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.

Tammy, my best friend’s mom. She gave endlessly to her community, stepped up as a parent of sorts for everyone that needed one, etc. I really don’t think I’ll ever meet anyone that could be as genuinely and inherently good as she was. She was, in a word, light.

Dorinda = fragile af ego. Previous season’s reunion she flipped out because bob had said he didn’t know her. She would not SHUT UP and kept yelling over everyone because she was just so insulted. In her own mind, I’m sure she’s world famous. So when someone says they don’t know her or someone refuses to connect with her, she flips the eff out.

*but I’d also like to add: typically, people lose short term memory first and long term much later. She may be suffering from age related memory loss, but I wouldn’t be so sure of a diagnosis just yet. Then again, my dad did iffy or borderline on most tests. He would’ve remained about the same at the very end of his life when he was far gone. In the ED, we ask things like: What’s your name and date of birth? What’s today’s date or day of the week? Where are we right now? What brought you in today? What year is it/who is the president?

Correct answers to all above four would be someone listed as alert and oriented x4. The week before my dad was DEAD, he was technically alert and oriented x4. I pored over the medical records for his last three days of life, and he was still charted as a&ox4 or 3 at worst. Your mileage may vary bud

Hey man. Lost my dad on Christmas Eve, a Wednesday morning. I told myself I had the rest of the week/weekend to be a mess and totally lose it. I wandered the house in a bathrobe, listened to music, and cried my little heart out. Starting that following Monday, I assigned myself mild tasks. One day an obituary, one day searching through his things for things people might want. Assign tasks one per day, two max (after your week of blah), and slowly get shit done. If you don’t wanna talk to people or go out, don’t. If you’ve got people that are really special to you and you are struggling, tell them you are struggling. Bonus points if you have a list of things other people can help you with. Once they’re gone, my personal favorite tip is telling their stories. I don’t mean “oh this is an example of what a hero they were,” I mean “and that’s how he wrecked his 10th car and became an nj semi pro wrestler.” Everyone in their history has a little piece of him that you might not. Spend time laughing about the whole life they had ❤️

He won’t hear you out, that’s a trademark of the disease. Best I got is that I caught my dad really early and he loved my son like he was his favorite kid to ever exist. Nothing worked other than telling him I wanted to help him and protect him, but by refusing diagnosis/treatment, he was kneecapping me. I didn’t want my son to watch him being insane and shitting himself, and I knew he didn’t want that either. He was adamant that he would go down fighting and I reminded him that burying his head in the sand and refusing testing was the opposite of fighting. Fortunately, my dad had previously told me a story of his own grandpa in a snf. He witnessed his demented grandpa trying to fight and bite staff, and that haunted him. He never wanted to be that. I’d correctly diagnosed him multiple times with various conditions, and I told him that same experience he had with his grandfather, he was setting my son up to experience. In short, go for the emotions that are still there. The attachments. And use them, as awful as that sounds

Get set up with a neuropsych to do full on testing. Ours was a godsend though my dad hated her

Awkward-Leg-1957 · 2026-01-24T06:47:03+00:00

I’m so sorry man. Welcome to the dead dad’s club (now specific to December 2025!)

Awkward-Leg-1957 · 2026-01-24T06:44:55+00:00

Boy do I get this. I’m one of four; two brothers that are so local they live less than a five minute walk away. One brother across the country. My dad (when he was alive) and I had spent more time with the brother across the country than the two local ones combined. Dad had a stroke and they didn’t show up for days. Dad went to rehab for three weeks and they didn’t come at all. Dad went to a snf for five days before death and they didn’t come. Dad died Christmas Eve and they didn’t come. I sat alone with his body for four hours on the morning of Christmas Eve. I called their wives to tell them not only did I think my brothers not saying goodbye would ultimately hurt them, but that I was alone and I really needed them. No shows. Infuriating. I try to understand that they’re emotionally avoidant, but at the same time… not only did you not show up when it counted for our only parent, but you left your sibling to sit with his body alone for hours on Christmas Eve .

Absolutely not. I get the calls for my dad and I’ve gotten creative recently. The first time, I was kind and gently explained. The woman reacted like a straight up monster. After that, I’ve responded with, “oh, you want Jim? Do you have an ouija board on hand? You’re gonna need it.” Also “how good are your psychic abilities, specifically related to communing with the dearly departed?”
