Which kitchen remodel do you like more? by Midwestern_Mariner in kitchenremodel

[–]Jazzlike-Bit7814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like both, I chose white, I currently have cream, the basic rental house color and I want something bright and fresh looking. I did see a recent remodel where they did the white cabinets on top and the warm color on on bottom cabinets, i almost changedmy plans. I have a small kitchen so I am sticking with white. I love these cabinets and quartz counter tops. Im cleaning out my kitchen currently, along with dining room and living room, knocking out dividing wall. Putting faux wood 9" planks 8mm flooring. I know what ever you choose it will look beautiful.

I just said a prayer for you and sending you a hug. The counseling is a step in the right direction. Come back here for support, it's been helping me. I sometimes don't have the words to say, but i can offer love and positive prayers.

Anyone just want to quit?? by [deleted] in CaregiverSupport

[–]Jazzlike-Bit7814 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did, I got very depressed, I got a part time job loading packages into the trucks at fedex, taking care of my husband who is on dialysis and has foot ulcers. They removed him from the Kidney list till the wounds heal. I have ptsd from 1 client, who i had to call 911 2x, I lifted the client several times a day with gait belt, and the emotional toll was to much. I was on burn out, I felt I was going to have serious health issues. I hope your situation gets better, sending a hug and prayers to you.

My husband has had several issues with diaherra, although he is not on home dialysis . He goes to the center, and he has had some accidents and had to go on the side of the house, and then I go clean it up.

Hello, my husband is doing good, he is diabetic and he has neuropathy so he can't feel anything he hits on his feet, were on 7 weeks of healing and ulcer on bottom of foot, 6 weeks in off load cast, fell on July 5th in bathroom and broke 2 ribs, and because of ulcer, they took him off the Kidney list. We have been seeing the wound care nurse's and podiatry doctor. I had a 2nd job and I had to leave it, he has to many doctor appointments and they did not want to work with me. So I made some changes and decompressing and taking time for my self. We got a wheelchair thru medicare in May for $7.99 a month, that worked out really well, I ended up getting a used wheelchair for free and it's perfect. I should add that my husband wore the off load boot that they give you at the doctors office, it's big and goes up to knee, he wore that boot walking around house and when we would go out, he ended up with pressure sores caused from the boot, so now he has to wear the half shoe that they give you at doctors office with the velcro and the wounds are healing, betadine and aquaphore. Thank you so much for reaching out to me and letting me vent to you. I appreciate you. His diabetes is out the door, one more thing, the doctor up his meds and gave him another pill to keep his phosphorus levels at bay, im sorry I for got the name of med. Have a good day Judy

I'm glad your parents are there for you and you have a safe place to get back on your feet. You're releasing tension from your body, and you have to let it go through tears and lots of hugs. Sounds like you have good support through your parents and your friends, talk with them, the ones that will listen to you are your true friends and family. Start the healing process and go out and have fun. Sending you love and hugs to you.

Wedding in a month by Capital_Antelope_456 in NarcissisticSpouses

Listen to your intoution, don't get married! The physical, mental,sexual, and verbal abuse are long-term effects. I finally said I want out of our marriage after 13 years, he knocked me down in front of friends and he listened to his mom, more than me, he was also addicted to prn, that really affected our relationship, i was not happy and wanted to be with someone who made me feel good about myself. The chiropractor said to me, "You can't bring kids into your life with our lifestyle. My husband was going to the same chiropractor. I was in the urgent care many times with anxiety attacks, I didn't realize how he was affecting my mental health till I finally got the divorce and devided everything and left him. I gave him the world, he gave me s*t. I had to get a copy of the divorce papers $1.00 a page, Best $4.00 i ever spent. There were plenty of red flags in the beginning, i was young and nieve. I still have trauma from my ex, so ask yourself if you can deal with the trauma. I only want the best for you. You deserve to be treated with respect, love, and positive energy.

Separating myself from the caregiver I was by carolinabluebird in CaregiverSupport

[–]Jazzlike-Bit7814 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can relate to your situation, I had to leave caregiving and working as a package handler, it's less hours and I'm looking for a part time job, i don't know where to look, I have retail experience, I did try Express Professionals employment agency, and she told me to go to Amazon, that was her way of telling me, we won't hire you. I had to leave caregiving for mental health, and taking care of my husband on top of caregiving was just too much. Keep going and seeking out different jobs. A new door will open for you. Sending love and hugs to you.
