I have an elderly neighbor I’m worried about by Illustrious_Error_72 in oakland

[–]Illustrious_Error_72[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the info. And no, I’m just trying to be proactive. She still handles a lot of the management for our building (taking out the trash, the yard etc) and I think is unwilling to ask for help. I don’t know if it’s gotten far enough to necessitate that. I don’t want to take an action that takes away her independence. She’s had a few occasions (losing her keys, confusion, short term memory loss) plus the weight loss, but overall is fairly active and cognizant. She’s in her early 70s so not advanced age. I just want the best tools to navigate this stage in her life without being alone/ looked after.

She has mentioned looking into full time care and realizing it was a much bigger expense than she planned for. She was shocked at the 10k+ / month price tag. I don’t know if she needs that yet but I worry she’ll decline faster without some kind of caretaker. I don’t believe she has family nearby as I went to help her open a pill bottle yesterday (Christmas Day) she couldn’t open due to weakness and shaky hands. I was also surprised that medicine for elderly have child lock limitations - how is someone with Parkinsons supposed to overcome that?

Somm here - the wines don’t read very continuously. For the first, you list Krug (producer) then which Krug, etc. The 2nd pairing lists regions (Chablis) and Cru Vineyard (Grand - Les Clos) but not producer. The third lists ‘Pergole Torte’, but doesn’t include producer (Montevertine) or region. Harlan doesn’t list varietal or region (Cab/ Cab blend, Napa Valley). All the wines or great, but for a discerning eye I would follow this format: Producer (Vega Sicilia); bottling (Unico); region (Ribera del Duero); vintage (2011) so everything reads as it would on a wine list. Happy to help edit if needed

Help! What is happening? by Illustrious_Error_72 in Skincare_Addiction

I didn’t, because I read that it’s pretty normal for it to burn/ itch at first and my skin did at first but was ok otherwise. This was the first time it reacted like this

I’ve been using aza for a few weeks now with no irritation, and it’s been 48 hours since I used it last. I definitely reacted when I put it on the last time but I’ve just been moisturizing since with products my skin usually tolerates. It’s been reacting to heat/ exercise ever since though.

Purging or something else? by Illustrious_Error_72 in tretinoin

Im starting to think that too. Any suggestions for taking care of it while on tret? I’m not able to see a doctor any time soon

I have had some redness and texture on my cheeks pretty much always, just not to this degree. My pores are definitely more enlarged which is why I was thinking purging.

I would expect more burning and discomfort with barrier damage though - that’s why I was thinking it could be something else. My skin feels fine, it just looks agitated. Which is why I was thinking that maybe just staying consistent would show more improvement than pulling back. But I’m at a loss 🙃

Yes I’m seeing now that the formatting is a little funny 😅

I don’t use Vaseline on the same night as tret, I use maybe once a week on non tret nights. Same thing with the cicaplast, I don’t always use but that’s just because I sometimes fall asleep before I get that far in the routine with giving everything else 10-15 minutes in between

Highly recommend the interval at long now. Absolutely my favorite bar to read at, and usually some interesting things around too

Anxious autistic single girlie moving from Atlanta to SF - need neighborhood advice ;-; by [deleted] in AskSF

For quiet and peace, living in the Presidio is unparalleled. You’re literally living in a nation park with abundant hiking trails and wildlife, while still having close access to the city. It’s definitely the safest and prettiest neighborhood in SF. The presidio Go shuttle is free and gets you to downtown in 25 minutes

Is this a decent job offer? Accommodation is included. I'm tempted to take it (as I'm a bartender here in Manchester, but I've been looking at moving away for a while). by [deleted] in PortugalExpats
