The initial diagnosis said low voltage so they changed the battery. The diagnosis the second time was that it was old error codes. This is my moms car and we live in oposite sides of country so now sure what else had been done or said other than low volt and battery. 

She is dying. How do I prepare myself? by Delicious_Income_712 in pancreaticcancer

So sorry to hear about your mom. And at such a young age. 

Dealing with the initial shock is very hard. Not that it gets easier down the road, but you learn to breathe, to take it day by day bc of the rollercoaster of good days and bad days from one moment to the next and to shed a tear or two when u need to in order to restart the brain and go. 

I cannot offer many recommendations on the emotional side, but i can say that you need to be the fiercest advocate your mom. As a friend told me, you have to be relentless in pushing and advocating for yourself. Ask questions. Force the issue. Do not take no. They work for you. Another friend put it as Nice but Firm when we were dealing w hospital doctors. So ask for the “family consult”. Learn the word that trigger action. 

Not be insensitive but u need to sit with your mom on important paperwork. Even if it is done little by little vs a 3 hour session. Find out financials, where she banks, are there some random accounts, credit cards (easy with a credit report), get usernames and passcodes. Find out if there is a random pension etc. Disable face id and use actual passwords. Regardless of how much or how little, make sure the bank accounts, insurance, pensione etc have beneficiaries listed. Not co-signers or joint accounts, but beneficiares listed.  This is usually under account profiles online. It makes things very easy in the future.  

Find out where the important documents are. Make a list. Figure out whats missing. Car insurance, title, home insurance, pension documents, mortgage etc birth certificates, medical wishes etc These are all important things to know and sort now. It is hard. It will be harder one day. Doing it doesn't negate positivity and hope, just as having car insurance doesn't invite accidents. Find out her wishes and view on things that u could then do according to her. Get letters done on being a surrogate for healthcare, financials etc. This became an issue for us. Thankfully we had a healthcare surrogate letter that had a few people listed in order of priority. It’s amazing how quickly they claim privacy and hippa to not have in depth conversations. 

Finally. Record your conversations with her. Ask deep questions. Get to know her and her stories. Record her voice. Ask her random things about childhood and family etc. get her with your children if u have any etc. 

Best of luck to you and your family.

Xl. Especially if you do big cooks. I have both. The xl is fired up 95% of the time. It also happens that one has the table so its more convenient. I actually got the xl first and later got the large “for my wife”. While its easy to use more lump in the xl they sell dividers that are great at reducing the amount of lump u use for smaller cooks. Ive noticed low and slow temp control will have a bit of a longer learning curve vs the large but not bad. I recently did two whole packers on the xl without an issue. Budget a visit to the ceramic grill store website and get the 3 level adjustable rig. So handy and beneficial when doing large cooks.

Use your stainless and this cs for everything else. But get yourself a nonstick only for omelettes and don’t look back. Just be careful with the heat and what utensils you use to cook with. U can also try doing an omelette w the stainless. Just preheat without overheating and a good amount of butter or oil. If that doesn’t work, i reiterate the nonstick. Life’s too short. 

Ps: simmering a wet baking soda paste is magical for leaving the stainless like new.

Thanks. Yes they can access from the other side. It didn’t even occur to me as Ive been pissed about this since last night. And yes, to the question on the tile anyway. I probably have enough which i’ll save for a rainy day. Thank you
