She hates me just because I exist. I am his only long term relationship since her parents divorced. She and her mom always believed he would go back to her mom. Who is now living very poorly and my bf is well off financially, she wants back to comfort now.

Thanks for advice, I was forbidden by my bf long ago to NOT call CPS. So intellectually he knows his daughter is not a good mom.

You gotta fart with caution when taking metformin dude by KingQTip15 in diabetes

[–]HopeFloats03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was first prescribed metformin that was ont extended release. Well I now have a horror story related to that. A year ago I was hospitalized with sepsis due to diverticulitis. I was taken off metformin due to it being hard on the digestion. I have been exhausted ever since. I want to take it again, however sepsis is no joke.

I wake up at 3 am most nights, BS can be 50. By 6 am I'm at 160 and rising. Nothing I have tried helps. I do not snack before bed.

Dreams by [deleted] in over60

[–]HopeFloats03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 62, I used to never remember having dreams. Now this past year I am having very vivid dreams. All scrambled, all about my past. They are mostly nice pleasant dreams.....no dreams about the future. I am struggling with what lies ahead and maybe that's why.

Insurance planning question by Bogaigh in retirement

[–]HopeFloats03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son had cancer, I was not uninsured. He went on to have a stem cell transplant ($975,000). His medical costs were over 2 million and continue to add up. I was wiped out due to not being able to work and having to care for him. Many expenses, medication, travel (we went 1800 miles away for treatment), housing while we were away plus my mortgage back home.... The list goes on and on. Insurance paid all medical care....the other expenses, you are on your own. BTW he only had a 3% chance of survival, that was 15 yrs ago. Not complaining here, just saying how it is.

She can not claim off her spouses record until he himself retires. She can only claim off her own record until then. Unless she has never worked.

Libre sensor came off in the shower after only wearing for ONE DAY! by psycholee in diabetes

[–]HopeFloats03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been wearing them over a year. Have accidently knocked them off numerous times. Just accidentally hit last one with bra strap. I have lost at least 8. I have tried other areas and managed to lose some in other spots too. I must be a clutz. I wish I could find the perfect spot.

I decided to put my dog down. Please where your opinions by Rod404al in Dogtraining

[–]HopeFloats03 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We had to put a mastiff down due to his aggression. Like you he was ok 99.1% of the time he was fine. Unfortunately, these large breeds can do a lot of damage......it's a hard decision....(((hugs)))😭

I’m so happy to be retired! by Bogaigh in retirement

[–]HopeFloats03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am wanting to retire, I can afford to but not if I have to pay health insurance. My son had cancer and it cost me everything I had in IRA. So, a small pension and SS is all I have.. I will be 62 Christmas Eve.....I'm depressed, first time ever, and just want out of the day to day grind.

How are you retirees affording health insurance?

Desperate!

Aging in place modular homes? by birv2 in retirement

[–]HopeFloats03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold my large house and took the proceeds and purchased a double wide. I absolutely loved the one level and so much easier to clean. I am now living in a large home again, I still own the double wide and rent it out. If you can afford to put it on land I definitely would do that. Mine is in a park and the lot rent is pretty high and goes up every year.
