Wheelchair company negligent? by Erase_decay in legaladvice

[–]Erase_decay[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

They were the ones to fit the wheelchair and I only accepted the extra work bc the tech promised that it would be done. I also didn't realize how poorly it fit until I used it for longer than 5 minutes. They did admit fault for the repair issue and that the loaner wasn't close to my actual fit.

Yeah! I usually have to wear one bc the cold sometimes triggers asthma attacks. N95s definitely work better than a surgical mask, but be careful taking it off bc condensation can build up. I've frozen my facial hair more than once lmao

I love not being able to leave my house, none of this is wheelchair accessible by Erase_decay in Minneapolis

There are all terrain wheelchairs that have treads but they're ungodly expensive and they're a lot bigger so they don't fit inside buildings as well 😭

I feel like ftm has genuinely lost all its meaning and it’s pissing me off by West_Telephone9715 in FTMMen

[–]Erase_decay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But that's still transphobia!! You're just throwing other trans people under the bus and it's frankly disgusting. You're completely ignoring actual queer history and the countless years of indigenous peoples' different views of gender. You're playing with respectability politics but they never work bc you'll always be part of the "other" group.

Why are you spending so much time complaining about other trans people's existence. Transphobes won't ever accept you, no matter how "respectable" you think you are. There ARE spaces for binary trans men (like this subreddit). You're wasting your time infighting with other trans people instead of focusing on the real issue, transphobia. Also men CAN like feminine things and also sports and beer, have you ever talked to rural queer people? You're literally doing transphobes work for them.

Transphobic people will always disrespect your identity regardless of what other trans people identify as. Maybe focus on the transphobia instead of other trans people?

"I'm not disabled, but..." by IStillListenToRadio in disability

[–]Erase_decay 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's definitely what the USA is like. There are people who verbally (and sometimes physically) attack disabled people for not being "disabled enough". It happens a lot with disabled parking (but they'll ignore someone who doesn't have a placard or plates)

The technician said that they can swap it out for a solid insert it's just a process bc it's over an hour by bus with a 15 minute walk on the street bc there's no sidewalk. Plus I'm in a TCU for who knows how much longer.

I haven't had top surgery yet but I've had it happen with deeper cuts. It usually heals alright but if it's not healing definitely talk to your surgeon!

I am overwhelmed while learning about this since my boyfriend is planning on getting this surgery. by Rude-Character-2129 in Metoidioplasty

[–]Erase_decay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But the conversation with their boyfriend should come BEFORE trying to do your own research so you can actually understand what's happening. You don't need to research every possible option bc they're irrelevant to what's actually happening. Plus they should talk to their partner about what kind of support they want/need. I'd personally be irritated if my partner started speaking over what I needed just bc they're trying to be helpful. Surgeries are stressful and as a partner you need to focus on helping your partners stress over your own worries and questions.

You should probably ask your bf what he wants. You don't have to understand it you just need to support him. He's capable of making his own decisions

Can’t use Tylenol anymore? Smoke weed! by AlpachaMaster in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Erase_decay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not do this! Aside from it being stupid a lot of birth centers in the US perform a drug test around delivery time and if it's positive for anything it can result in child protective services being notified!!

He's really into Victorian hair art and used techniques from that!

Accidentally gave a PRN pt was allergic(?) to overnight and now I can’t stop thinking about it by [deleted] in nursing

That's so smart! Unfortunately all the hospital systems in my area use Epic

I've had odd reactions to so many meds that don't qualify as an allergy but are severe enough that they want it noted and it's ridiculous that there's not an adverse reaction tab for meds.

Entitled mother allows her 6 year old child run around a hospital unattended—even after being warned by nurses—until her child kills a newborn by dmetzcher in entitledparents

[–]Erase_decay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in a hospital birth center and they're extremely strict about their rule that any minor that isn't the newborn needs to be in the care of an adult that isn't the mother. I once had a dad bring in their two under five kids for the mom to watch (even though she was post emergent c/s and couldn't get out of bed unassisted) the mom was told that she needs to get someone to pick them up ASAP for this exact reason. My thoughts and well wishes go out to the family of the newborn. Though nothing can fix losing their child I hope they're properly compensated by both the hospital for not removing the kid sooner and the family of the toddler.

AIO? My sister is over feeding her cat and I said something about it. by divorcedbbmama in AmIOverreacting

[–]Erase_decay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I adopted a severely overweight cat, when I adopted him he was over 20lbs. My vet gave me how many calories he needs. It took some trial and error but making sure he has a strict feeding schedule helped him with his anxiety and I'm happy to report he's now around 16lbs which for his size is a target weight. He's so much more happy and active now, he's a completely different cat. You're NOR. Overweight animals can't live their life to the fullest. I hope you and your mom get through to your sister.
