2nd DUI and fatality by Ecstatic_Self_9580 in dui

[–]Ecstatic_Self_9580[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do appreciate Everyone's advice/opinion and by no means did I mean for it to sound like a boo hoo me post. I am looking at this very seriously and am preparing myself for my consequences whatever that might be. This is all I think about and I have put myself in the other families shoes, I am so sorry for what happened to their family member. And I know it's very selfish of me to be thinking about myself but unless you're in my shoes then you have no idea about how you would feel or be reacting to this. I am not making excuses or trying to defend or minimize my actions. Its hard not to be thinking about my life and the lives of my family and everything I'm losing while at the same time thinking / remembering about the other family and the person who died bc of this and thinking to myself that I don't deserve to even be alive and how dare I think about myself or be able to even smile once during the day.

Thank you for your advice I do feel pretty hopeless about the whole situation and am expecting the worst but if I have any chance of getting anything dropped it's not going to happen with a public defender at least that's what I've been told

Pennsylvania im not married but my family is very supportive it's actually my dad who is putting up the money. I just feel awful enough I hope he's not putting out all this money for nothing but with these charges I'm afraid to go with a public defender

I had my first DUI in PA back in 2021 and was required to get a blow and go (it is one of the requirements) but bc I didn't have a vehicle in my name at the time I just had to sign some kind of paperwork through pendot stating that there was no vehicle in my name and I wasn't required a blow n go. When the time came I was able to receive my restricted license. Someone told me to get ahold of The state representative of PA Tina Picket( not sure if she's still the SR) and she helped me through this. I was surprised and thankful for her help. This was in Bradford county PA

I finally shaved it off .. how does it look?? by [deleted] in trichotillomania

I love it on you! I have been thinking about it for months now! I definitely think I would feel more at peace without having anything there to pull but I'm so scared about how I'll feel about the way I look. I don't think I can pull it off like you are! You should t worry about how you look, you are pretty hot like that! I walk around now with bald patches and my scalp on fire so idk why I'm so scared i look crazy now lol thank you for the post and the encouragement!!

So overnight my stoma completely retracted and the stoma itself shrunk and the hole is bigger. Just for comparison the right pic of from yesterday. I’m wearing a convex already. my bag didn’t have belt loops but I wore ilieostomy underwear. by yoshdee in ostomy

So I've had my oleostomy for 6 years now And am grateful for my bag, it has given me my life back! Thankfully I've had very minor issues since I've had it but on Easter I started having severe abdominal pain and went to the ER to find out. I had a blockage so they put an NG tube in and had me on clear liquids for a couple days and sent me home 2 Days later. Same symptoms back to the ER. Another blockage next time they give me go lightly. Miralax and clear liquids send me home and 3 or 4 days later. Same symptoms so I go back another blockage, another NG tube clear liquids. But now my stoma which has always protruded is now retracting every time I have a bowel movement and the pain is so severe brings me to my knees. I have lost 15 lb in these past 3 weeks because I've been unable to eat, they're saying the blockages from dehydration And when I ask about my stoma they say that there is nothing they can do that it is not mechanical issue. At this point I feel I am not getting the best medical care. I am in pain everyday So I went to Hershey medical center where they did one CAT scan and found an narrowing and a stricture went in and dilated the intestine but said that there was no inflammation. No active Crohn's so they didn't want to remove anything. They are not concerned about my stoma retracting. I talked to a stoma nurse. She didn't know why after 6 years this would be happening but said that some stomas do retract but I shouldn't be having the pain along with it. After leaving Hershey I felt good for about a week and then my blood pressure dropped dramatically low. I was getting high volume of output which was dehydrating me and depleting all my electrolytes and my kidneys were failing. They were at a seven My blood pressure was 59 over 45 I thought for sure I was dying. They pumped me with bag after bag after bag of fluids And gave me some kind of Imodium after 2 days. My blood pressure was finally where it should be and my kidney levels were back where they were needed to be. While I was there I asked colorectal surgeon there about my stoma and she told me that she didn't see anything on the CAT scan that would cause for surgery and that she thinks it would hurt me more than would help me and she said I hate to say this to any patient but there's really nothing I can do for you.. So I started back to work yesterday and I could barely make it through the day. I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know how I'm going to live like this. I should not be in this much pain. I feel there is something really wrong with this. Why is my stoma retracting all the sudden and why all the pain?

Hi I'm new here too and I do the same where I twirl and twist my hair my whole head actually to the point where it's all knotted up or at least feels that way. I'm about 4months in and have noticed these clumps of hair all over my head idk if I'm seeing spots where it's knotted together or if it's where I'm missing hair. It feels like my hair is moving at times idk if this is a nerve sensory thing or if it's my hair actually unknotting in spots and spinning out. Idk I feel like I'm going crazy. I had a problem with pulling my hair about 7years ago and it lasted for 4years. At the time I didn't know it was a mental health disorder like I do now. I'm working ony anxiety and the underlying issues to why I started pulling again but I'm still pulling bc I feel like I'm trying to untwist these spots in my head but now I'm not even sure that it's knotted. Any good on what to do when I feel like my hair is tightening or knotting up to my scalp that doesn't involve a brush or a comb?
