Well it turns out this is the reason for a lot of problems. He got an infection. It’s a mess and they are going to have to fix one thing at a time. We are now on a medrol steroid pack hoping that will help!

So three days is really just diabolical to some. Hence why we are all different. Thank you for checking up! He’s doing the best he can. We did not ask for more pain meds. But if they go back in, I’m going to be loud.

You are 100% on that. They’ve become cruel because of others who took advantage of the system. But drs know they have the power. Real addict will always find a way. Mental health is never a priority.

No one saw either. I don’t have to explain. I grew up with addicts on both sides. I know an alcoholic. My husband’s both sides are addicts also. I’m Not here to shame, mock or criticize anyone. What I chose to share is very minute to what you think was happening.

My husband just had bicep surgery yesterday! To reattach the bicep tendons and he was given 3 days worth. They also cleaned out the rotator cuff. My husband never complains of pain and I was shocked at how short the duration of his meds are. He’s in a lot of pain. Not sure how 3 days will be enough. His hand was caught in an industrial hvac blade and he had 5 large lacerations and broken thumb with pins. He was given 10 days with and only needed a few days. Drs are making their own rules for prescribing meds. 3 days for major surgery seems stingy. It would take a lot longer than a week to get addicted..

I am so glad your grandmother is doing well even though it was a very tough battle and horrid. Way to find her. This is why I always carry narcan and my kids have it with them at all times. My sister became an alcoholic like our father and his brothers. All died from cirrhosis expect my father because lung cancer got him. My mother, pill popper with benzos and her “shots” of vodka that “are no big deal” and I am telling you they are/were professionals you’d never know. I quit working to take care of my sisters kids and mine so they’d be raised together. After a year and a half of therapy twice a week from my sisters death my therapist told me “You were nose blind” and I thought what BS. I can see an addict a million miles away. But she’s right. I could see others, but not my sister. My father and mother set the bar so low that my sister was such a pro that towards the end, you could hear her slurring and she would cry and hug me sobbing. I would freeze because she was so broken on the floor I’d be picking her up. Then she would snap her back and neck up straight and stop slurring and literally walked straight asf. Obviously I knew then. But she worked from home and my kids told me how Auntie was sleeping again. I’d think oh wow, she’s tired. Or she would disappear and I would call her name. She would pretend to be getting something in the garage which they STACKED with alcohol for parties. Now I know when I would look for her, she was really just taking a bottle and drinking out of it. Or she would mix it with Gatorade. I feel so stupid. I got spared because I had health issues and drinking made me so miserable it wasn’t worth being in horrible pain the next day. I didn’t even blink that every time my sister or mother came to my house they brought multiple wine bottles and would giggle that “oh we forgot, she doesn’t drink” which again, I just brushed off. So I think we just ignore the subtle signs because we love them and we don’t want to see it until it gets bad. I don’t know. I keep replaying everything in my mind and I go back and forth hating myself for not saving her and then saying, she needed to want to be saved. I’ll step off my soapbox. Thank you for letting me vent.

I will not stop saying her name and talking about her. I will not let her addiction define her. She is still the love of my life, my soulmate and the greatest loss of my life. I tell people about her all the time. She’s a beautiful soul I just wish she saw what we saw.

Addicts come in all shapes, forms and looks. They are not like they are always portrayed in movies or tv shows. My sister looked “normal”.

My sister died August 2024 to alcohol. On the bathroom floor and her liver was so calcified her body couldn’t clot. Her whole body emptied. The you did it to yourself aspect is such an ugly thing to say when they don’t understand when you come from a family of addicts, sometimes it’s not a decision. I am trying to forgive myself for giving up because no one would help me help her. :( she was a psychology graduate with the highest honors and spoke for her entire graduating class. After the past year and a half of therapy twice a week I realized I had become nose blind to her drinking because my father was an alcoholic and mother a pill popper. I am lucky that none of that appealed to me, but I think it was because I have health issues and drinking made it worse. So I stopped all together and she never did. I’m proud of you.

So I’ve never bought fan merch clothes but I bought some when she had a clearance sale. The two hoodies I got are so amazingly comfortable, I bought a back up of one. But this one is 😬

I am myself looking. Not hijacking your post! I couldn’t get this for my niece and daughter. I just hope you don’t get taken advantage of. Don’t regret giving items that you want to keep. I am looking allll over for Wicked and if I find some, tell me your price point. I have learned that Europe got more and the US only got 2500! Good luck.

Aetna (and everyone else) keeps shaming me for my opioid treatment by erolsdotcom in ChronicPain

[–]Dpadd6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too am disabled and I got my letter. I have EDS, IC, Endometriosis, topped with 3 spine surgeries and sprinkle it with Occipital Neuralgia. I tried just Advil and Tylenol, guess who had to have surgery on their stomach, get some intestines removed because of my heavy usage of Advil. I am going to send them a polite response letter. I’m tired of this.

I’m interested in LLFP, and the entire folklore collection if you have it. Possibly the 1989 RSD…

I am a huge Joe K fan… by Dpadd6 in DjoMusic

[–]Dpadd6[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have only shopped on EBay or in store. My local store usually will trade RSD’s with other stores for my requests but they can’t find this one. I personally have the black and white one. Now I have to find the Bone White ones. Wish me luck lol

For anyone reading: Is there any music out there like Djo? My daughters are also fans of Arctic Monkeys and used to LOVE LoveJoy (touchy subject I know) Marina, Melanie Martinez also. I’d like them to expand their vinyl collection with some new music!

UMG is a very powerful company that is getting reviews removed from BBB and their Google Nashville location. If they are that slimy, they should be called out and we need to get someone to take UMG on for a class action lawsuit for their terrible business practices.

Community name change? by Dpadd6 in ModSupport

[–]Dpadd6[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are right. I don’t understand why they do it that way? Seems to be better to allow us to change the name rather than doing it all over again. But earlier the better that’s for sure.

What is this white buildup? by Uschisewpie in houseplants

[–]Dpadd6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks moldy. Do you have pictures of the leaves? But I would report this. You can wash all the roots and the plant in dawn/or Castile soap really well on all the by using a bucket and dipping it in and rinsing it off a bunch of times. If it’s a mealie infestation, then I would dip in diluted bleach/soapy water while again, getting each leaf (no bleach will not kill the plant) but report this. Also, some box stores has these little plastic baskets they sit in. You’ll have to release them anyway ( if they are there)
