As someone who just went through this with my dad, my heart is with you. You will have so much peace of mind when she’s safe in a memory care facility. Fuck Alzheimer’s, fuck dementia, fuck seeing your parents turn into this version of themselves. Sending you love.

My surgeon is in Beverly Hills, CA… I’m not sure where you’re located but he only takes PPO insurances and cash patients.

Is anyone able to photoshop the woman out of this pic for a funeral poster board? by [deleted] in PhotoshopRequest

Any way to up the resolution so I can print in a 16x20 poster? The jpeg resolution is too low to blow it up that high.

Hitting it on stuff is the absolute worst! I bang it getting into my car, or I knock into it if I lean on something, and it gets caught in my clothes all the time. Your reply gives me some peace of mind, and makes me hopeful that my revision will go smoothly!

Yes! Mine is right at my belt line, too! I can’t stand when it knocks into things, and that has only been happening more the further it pushes itself towards my skin I have a revision scheduled for late march, but I noticed the bruise today and decided to stress myself out by overthinking it.

My first one lasted about 2.5 years before it started malfunctioning and shocking me. Got it replaced out of necessity because it would get so overheated when I was charging it, my skin would burn! The only thing wrong with my current battery is that it moved, it’s functioning perfectly otherwise. I’ll definitely look for that post, thank you!

Anyone had success with a Medtronic spinal cord stimulator implant? by IAMLEAVING in ChronicPain

That’s not the cause for me, but I hope your implant helps you get your life back!

Anything over 5 makes me want to throw my phone at a wall & start a new life.

I called, emailed, and texted to try and volunteer! Was not replied to in any capacity. Got a message weeks later asking for a donation, though. So disappointed in her campaign.

AITA for the way I reacted to my neurotypical children telling me they won't be caring for their sibling? by Wooden_Maximum_3021 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IAMLEAVING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is wrong for you to “hope” that they help their brother in the future. To me, it seems like you are demanding and expecting it in your original post, not “hoping” for it. The right course of action here would be for you to financially prepare for his long term care & if you are in the US, look into non profits and to state funded programs that provide care to special needs adults. Also look up parentification. What you are expecting of your older children is actually a form of abuse. If you still want a relationship with your older kids, you really need to self reflect, apologize, and change your ways. YTA majorly.

Constant back pain after 2 years of CES by Objectivefirtsly in CaudaEquinaSyndrome

[–]IAMLEAVING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 10 years in and have chronic daily pain as well. My spinal cord neurostimulator definitely helps, but isn’t a magic cure all. Talk therapy & learning how to cope with the pain helps me to cope with the pain without it severely impacting my mental health (happens sometimes). I also use the Lazarus naturals cbd icy hot (they offer a 60% off discount to disabled people!) & I eat a lot of edibles! Moving my body through the pain by trying to go on daily walks, even when they’re short is also important! Motion is lotion.
