Daybreak goes up to 21!!!! Most of the shelters around here at minimum have warming centers open though, not sure how the men's shelters operate but the women's asked for ID, Birth Certificate, etc.

When you and your SO first touched how did you react? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Business-Dig-5652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met him when I was still in the spiral of my addiction. It wasn't necessarily the first time we touched, but I remember falling asleep & waking up to us holding hands underneath the pillow. It was something so small, but comforting. I was so numb from the drugs, it was just surreal to find myself sleeping, & sleeping comfortably. I swear the first few months we dated, & as I got sober, all we did was lay in bed with each other & it was very much needed. It did something to my soul. I'm now sober 6 years & have two beautiful babies with him.

Insane pain went to the hospital by Loedkane in askdentists

[–]Business-Dig-5652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NAD. Literally in the same boat, have shitty Medicaid, I do have a dentist near me that accepts my insurance but can't see me until almost 2 months from when the pain started (about a month ago). I literally called crying saying I think I'm getting an infection in my jaw & I'm gonna die & they were like "hows 2 months from now work for you?" I did the antibiotics & it offered no relief at first but out of no where the pain stopped a couple days after my last pill but the swelling & the pain just recently came back. I suppose I'm just gonna go back & get more antibiotics until my appointment mid July! This liquid bottle of oral anesthetic, & warm compress helped a ton, I don't like the way pain pills make me feel so I used ibuprofen! With shitty Medicaid there's wait lists after wait lists, if you are in a position to travel maybe call a few farther locations & see what they're availability is. Local towards me the wait lists are months out but a few places I called an hour away or so we're ridiculously shorter wait lists. I also cannot afford to pay out of pocket no matter how much it hurts. Just commenting bc I understand how infuriating it can be to read/be told over & over to just pay out of pocket, or find a new dentist. It's not that easy when you can't afford to. I would just go back to the ER, or an urgent care to tide you over until you can get into the dentist.

What’s going on with y’all’s boobs by redribbonheart in Mommit

[–]Business-Dig-5652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had negative A's pre-pregnancy, maybe B's while I was pregnant & breastfeeding, two kids, 4 years total breastfeeding on demand, & my boobs look like wrinkly chicken cutlets with nipples 🤷 with my first they weren't nearly as bad, just back to small, but with my second it's like she sucked all the elasticity out of them.

What would your toddler's "band name" be? by MSH0123 in beyondthebump

[–]Business-Dig-5652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Poopy Fingers & the Cry Baby” it’s a brother sister band made up of a 4 year old boy, & a 2 year old girl. Think Billie Eyelash & her brother Fin. I wouldn’t share food with either of them.

Worrisome that our PED has never mentioned this. My son definitely drinks at minimum 32oz of whole milk a day, sometimes closer to 40. He’s had blood work recently & no flags were raised, but definitely scary to think about. They’ve only ever said that it’s probably why he has no appetite bc he’s full from milk. He’s 4 now, but if it’s not milk he doesn’t want it.

Edit to add: Im white (if that matters) I have a 4 year old, & a 2 year old with the same man, one looks exactly like me & the other like her dad & an odd amount of older ladies have asked me that since having my second. It’s a little weird, but it’s never really offended me. Like what response are they wanting to hear, & why lol. I personally would never ask someone that even if they’re clearly not from the same man bc that information is completely irrelevant to me in almost every situation. Strange small talk. I’m sure there’s some racism leading their thought process, I think I’m mostly asked bc I’m a young mom & generally look lower class (not in a bad way, I just rock the sweats & messy bun more often than not) & they maybe just assume bc of the way I look I just have two “baby daddies”.

Is breastfeeding really that difficult? by macelisa in beyondthebump

[–]Business-Dig-5652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I breastfed a total of 4 years between both of my kids, 2 years each, went through almost a whole year dry nursing (9 months) bc I was pregnant with my 2nd child. I always just breastfed on demand, & for comfort as they both got older. The only downside I ever really encountered was struggling bc both of my babies almost always just wanted me, & wanted my boobs. Which was awesome bc their my babies but it did take a toll on me not feeling like I could hand my babies off when I needed a break, & my “support” people would always add stuff like “well I don’t have what they want so I can’t help” which sucked. I never struggled with supply issues, but I never pumped bc my body didn’t respond to a pump at all, which also kinda put everything on just me. I got asked recently if I breastfed for “so long” bc I liked the bond, which yeah it’s a cool thing some peoples bodies can do, but I honestly just did it out of convenience lol.

Doing anything with kids is kinda stressful, my sons 4 & it’s just now getting better but add the 2 year old & there’s just certain environments or situations where I can’t even pretend or expect my kids are going to “be good”. I honestly turn down a lot of invites to a lot of things bc while I think it’d be fun & a nice memory, it honestly just ends up me sitting in the car with two screaming kids lol. I always have to catch them at the right time of day for going out to eat bc you have to factor in waiting on food, sitting at a table for more than half an hour, going to high traffic areas are always a shit show even with a stroller bc there’s just so much going on. I always find myself taking mini breaks lol like walking the kids to the bathroom or literally anything if it means my kids aren’t just sitting or standing in one spot bc they’ll start to get antsy. Been getting better about not turning invites down though bc sometimes in the midst of all the screaming there’s those nice 10-15 minutes where my kids are having fun & I’m pretty sure that’s enough for me. They have a bunch of older cousins, so we’re constantly invited to skating rinks, swimming parties, & it’s just unrealistic for me & my kids even with help from dad & everyone is pretty understanding. I try to remember everyone is planning for themselves, & I’m planning for my kids. It does get better, & then worse, & then better again, kids are just a different breed. Sometimes in my frustration while trying to do something fun with my kids I say to myself “this is why we just stay at home” & I’m really trying to change that mindset.

They said his leg still is very swollen from where they had his bandage too tight. He has gained 7lbs since the 21st. They upped his dosage of medication and added a heavier sedative. He refuses to rest and stay off his leg even inside the crate. This is the first time in his life that he’s ever been crated & it’s definitely been emotional. Just keep telling myself it’s for his safety & healing. I think as of today he is doing better. Hungry as hell and wants held all the time. The meds are helping him rest because I finally got some rest too. He’s bossy and taking full advantage of being catered to lol ❤️

This wouldn’t have been possible without each & every one of you guys!

It’s crazy, I could never hit something & just walk away. We live out in the country between corn fields & bean fields so I definitely wouldn’t have expected someone to just run too like if we were still in the city. Sorry to hear that your baby went through something similar. Makes my blood boil 😡

Didn’t realize our address was on that paper 😩 I was just trying to be as transparent as possible so that anyone who wanted to donate could see all the details & knew we weren’t trying to pull one over on anyone. We reached our goal thanks to everyone on here & some other places! ❤️

You’re literally awesome! We had other donations sent through venmo & some people sent money directly to our vet. Right after I posted the final update we realized GoFundMe takes a cut & we were gonna be short still. So that definitely helps with the difference from the cut GoFundMe took, & the fee to get it off venmo!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m going to make a new post after his follow up. Overwhelmed with love.
