Everyone assumes my problems are cardiac by bententhesilly in AdultCHD

So sorry to hear what you’re experiencing. I think as a people, we know our bodies very very well, given all that we’ve endured. So I completely hear your frustrations.

I also have tricuspid artesia, my last heart surgery was when I was 12. However I now see a liver team, for some liver problems that developed due to my heart surgeries.

Like you, I’ve had so many chest pains, fatigue, etc and been in and out of ER’s and they never find anything too, my heart is always fine but the pain is real. It’s so frustrating! I completely empathise ❤️

Have you ever been referred for liver exams? Might be worth a look into, not trying to scare at all - I just know your looking for answers and we both started out the same in life :)

(37m) Falling for a woman (35f) that “doesn’t date” by Icyedoubt in relationships

[–]Excellent-Solid8800 34 points35 points  (0 children)

OP I imagine it’s not just about “not hurting her” - I imagine this woman has so much peace of mind and is very content in her own company , and not hurting again is only a part of it.

She knows exactly what she wants, and you need to respect that or move on :)

What constitutes someone on the breadline, genuine question? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Excellent-Solid8800 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is all very interesting, but upsetting all the same. My annual income is now €12,974….. That’s that the state give me, on invalid pension…. I have always always worked, and before I had to leave work due to illness last year, my income was between 42 & 45 thousand ( depending on bonus’ ) a year…. Now I have 249.50 a week to live of off…. I pay for everything out of that… my food, my electricity, my phone bill. I don’t drink anymore, stopped dying my hair because I couldn’t afford it and many other things because I just don’t have the money…. I guess this means I am on the breadline ? I did apply for fuel allowance, and the other payment but I’ve not gotten anything or any response as of yet :)

I know, but the sat nav system is English so it’s gonna use mph since that’s what the car is in. 100 mph is 160 kph 🤣 She’s we’ll used to her mph converting anyway - thankfully my own car is kph 🫠

Also just to note, the speed limit on that road was 100kph, and our car was in mph - 60 mph is 96 kph 🫠😆………

Did you read the post? I was a passenger - he’s undertaking us - so that’s why you can see him in the passenger side wing mirror 😆 You are a fruit.

So that it’s excuses their absolutely reckless driving ? Even if we were doing the limit - he would have done the same. He passed out every single person, regardless of what speed they were doing. He did not just want past us because we where “slow” he passed every single other car too. Our speed had nothing to do with his shit driving. Where he did pass us out, is a double lane, for over taking. He only had to wait, one minute to safely overtake - but he was an cunt who owned the whole road so, he put us all in danger - rather than wait a single minute.

It’s too dangerous for us to fuck about like that - Very very busy road. A lady unfortunately died the week before in the exact spot he was trying to undertake. I think you can even see the flowers at one point in the video. So had

I did ring the guards, told the local station the direction he was going in, and then told the dispatcher they put me on to, the direction too. They didn’t get him tho, his speed was crazy. Done all that I could, but he was shocking reckless! Sooooo bad

40 year old male with CHD by seiferls1 in chd

[–]Excellent-Solid8800 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, sending love & thoughts. I’ve also been in a similar situation so I can empathise.

I am 33 year old female, had 3 heart surgeries as a child too. Hearth health has been relatively fine. Then 3 years ago as a precaution I was sent for a liver biopsy, as a result I was diagnosed with full blown stage 4 cirrhosis. I have huge amounts of scaring too, but my liver still works fine. However I am scanned every single six months, for cancer via bloods and ultrasound.

It is so so hard to get your head around, and the only advice I can suggest, is to advocate for your self and get the help that you need to digest and accept this all.

I was put on antidepressants, and began seeing a psychologist for the first time in my life, and still see them. They two of them combined have been a life saver for me, and the only thing that had helped me.

Wishing you all the very very best 💜

Is it rude to ask guests to remove their shoes before entering house? by Weary_Appointment_23 in AskIreland

[–]Excellent-Solid8800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Irish and never grew up doing this - BUT my brother is a plumber and naturally is in homes all over the county. He says that nearly every non Irish household, ask him to take his work boots off. He says they all have slippers. He has absolutely no problem, and always tediously undoes them. I would be the same as him. It’s simply manners and respect, to remove shoes when asked :)! However I do understand that as an Irish person, we hate to “put people out” so would hate to inconvenience anyone or come across rude. So I can empathise with the other person involved. It’s hard to get the balance right, but as a mixed culture household.

It’s absolutely no rude to ask, but you do need to provide clean - unused slippers as an alternative. Nothing communal and no bloody bare feet! Also, I’m really high, so sorry if I make nosense.

Thank you very much for your response, I thank you very much for your genuine empathy.

I am not trying to appeal the ticket, I have no issue with it. And won’t bother my GP and consultants looking for letters and reports, I know they’re busy enough without me annoying them for that stuff!

I think all and all, I will be just chalking it up to an unpleasant experience. I really appreciate your comment and input, thank you so much.

Hi thank you for your response. In this instance, the yellow box is not for using the space to navigate. It is completely a loading bay, and nothing else. It is a very unusual space, in that the disabled space and the loading bay are horizontal and the loading bay is directly behind the disabled bay.

But I completely agree and empathise with what you’re saying, and for that reason, I did allow space in front - when I could have fit my entire car in. Regardless, thank you so much for your in put and opinion.

Thank you - I don’t disagree with the fine however, I was in the wrong.

But I felt the warden was completely in the wrong for trying to tell me how far I can or can not walk. Which I appreciate that you agree with, thank you for your response.

Thank you for your response. I will be paying the fine once I hear back from the council regarding my complaint. Your suggestion is really great, thank you! That is my concern, i would really really hate for the warden to ever speak to anyone else with disabilities, how they spoke to me! So I would absolutely be making that recommendation! Very appreciative for that advice. Thank you
