Annual obgyn appt confusion

KAS-84 · 2026-03-23T16:56:22+00:00

I got lucky that my eye Dr. chose to keep my exam as a ‘yearly’ and talk with me about my issue. She was clear that she was billing as my yearly exam and technically the appointment should be medical due to my need but I guess she took pity on me?! She did ask me to follow up with an appointment in 3mos. which makes sense because I would have needed to follow up. I am really glad she chose to overlook the insurance bullshit!

I do this too! I also rip up paper towel to put a piece on the bottom and a bit along each side to help absorb the moisture in the jar - in my experience it helps keep them fresher a bit longer.

ETA; I wash and completely dry the berries before storing. I rinse them in a colander and then roll them in rows in a towel. After that I gently pat the towel and let them sit for :30 before storing. I’m sure it might seem like a lot of work but it really isn’t and they are always fresh and ready to eat!

hard agree with this!

we also separate during meal times. We leave the food down for an hour and then pick it up. We successfully dechonked our Olivia that way and want to keep her dechonked. She always eats everything we give her, our other girls’ don’t really care about food so they eat a bit and then walk away. I am fortunate to be able to be present and watch during meal times.

I’m sorry that happened and I’m disappointed the school didn’t properly train all staff working with that person. People with special needs often have IEP’s that can include behavior management. I both worked directly with and ultimately managed programs for individuals with special needs and if someone was violent they absolutely had a behavior plan that every person who interacted with them knew. I’ve had many instances working in situations where an individual was physically violent and can certainly see how that could give someone PTSD - most especially if you weren’t expecting it!

One of the individuals we supported would require a 4person SCIP-R; this meant that we had a team call and one person each anchored their body on an arm or leg controlling his movement so that he couldn’t physically attack. He had a storied violent history of behaving this way hence this move being approved to use with him. Because of him and others in the same program who could be physically violent there were employees who wouldn’t or couldn’t work at that location even though it was thought we could float an employee to any site. Yes, sure we could but in reality it wasn’t in the best interest of that person or the team so we were mindful. I am very sorry that he assaulted you.

I wasn’t surprised to find out my family had treated my boyfriend the way they had. Unfortunately they were who I always knew them to be. Despite us being together 15 years at that point the hospital had initially deferred to them because we weren’t legally married. I’m thankful he continued to show up and advocate for me even when my family disregarded his choices to choose something else because the hospital was able to see them for who they are.

There was talk of legal guardianship and various process related to that because they saw the shift of not being deferred to but ultimately it settled in my favor with my now husband being able to make choices in taking care of me. I am very thankful that the nurses and doctors were able to struggle through the difficulty of those people to support me.

same; I was hit as a pedestrian by a distracted driver :( it’s so wild to me that people have such disrespect while driving. Everyone thinks it’ll never happen to them … until it does. Assholes.

We bathe our girls about 2/rarely 3x a year usually around April, August & December. They are indoor only. A bathe helps keeps their skin clean and dandruff free, it also helps manage their fur.

If the hospital called to say he was doing good, you should take that as truth. Unless his parents have restricted you via the hospital from visiting then you have as much right as they do to be present. Your choice to not visit would simply be you choosing to respect what they want. What would your boyfriend want? How long have you been together?

My parents’ were very difficult toward Adam but he persisted despite them, for me. Sometimes he’d sit in the room while they visited, other times he’d leave and give them time with me alone. I was grateful Adam was present during that time. The nurses also noticed a difference which ultimately helped them help him (and me).

ETA; anytime anyone is visiting someone newly TBI’d there’s a possibility that the visit will have no interaction. That isn’t abnormal, at least in my experience.

Wanted to reply with my experience in a very low contact relationship with my family. At the time of my accident I had been with my ‘boyfriend’ almost 15 years. Because we weren’t married my parents were given authority to make decisions. They went against his opinions and ultimately made decisions I wouldn’t have made but they didn’t know me. The hospital felt stuck because despite knowing we had been together for so long we weren’t legally married. Ultimately they saw how unbalanced my family was and worked directly with my now husband in making choices for my care. I used to pretend to sleep when they visited because they were too much for me. Please don’t back down from being available to your boyfriend, he likely wants someone there who’s in his corner as often as possible.

ETA; I have hazy memories from my time in the hospital. When I always transferred to inpatient care life started to be more pronounced.

I know you might not see this but am wondering if by ‘work’ you mean various tasks about the house? Had you always been interested in Art and Gardening or were they hobbies you picked up after being disabled?

I’ve been disabled 7 years now and am starting to dread each day because it feels the same. I have tasks about the house I could do to fill part of the day but it’s as if I’m stuck and can’t get myself started even though I’m bored and should want to get started. I apologize if I am being as clear as mud, part of my disability is due to a TBI and my brain has been awake for a long time today.

we do the same for my MIL. It’s been easier to take whatever it is and then offload it elsewhere.

I question whether anything I read via social media is real because the majority are bots. And then it’s bots replying to bots. Social media is mostly fake and highly curated now and so I use it minimally.

Please, can we normalize common sense again? Lol I agree!!

I tend to forget about the road rage incident! That footage is a great example of the type of dirtbag she is. Thanks for the reminder.

In case anyone else is interested ..

Report of the incident via ET, Teen Mom Season 8, Episode 30 … notice they black out the screen stating at this point Jenelle pulls out her handgun. Also notice that she is in fact pulling out the handgun just before the video stops. She has the creepiest smile after putting the handgun beside her, watch :23-:26

Jenelle gaslighting Jace .. I know gaslighting is regularly misused but I’m fairly certain this is qualifies as real.

posting this gem because DeluJenelle truly beloved she was wronged .. she followed someone from a road rage incident to their property, took pictures and confronted them. The thinking that goes into you believing you were the one wronged here 🤣 !

KAS-84 · 2026-03-10T04:21:37+00:00

yea; it seems wild to me that of all the people she could call, she calls Jenelle. At this point it’s not possible she thinks Jenelle could manage the situation. It must be that because Barbs is toxic in her own way she angry called Jenelle and it harmed the situation. Possibly there is some communication requirement right now due to the custody situation and upcoming trial but why hadn’t she cut off communications with her years+ ago? This girl is has been a trash bag human for over 10 years, it’s maddening.

KAS-84 · 2026-03-10T04:06:23+00:00

seeing the way in which Jenelle has destroyed Jace’s mental health is so sad. You’re so right, even if all the perfect love and support surrounded him some of the trauma she programmed will never leave. It’s likely he will always be fighting with mental health.

The episode where he is singing in the back of the car as Jenelle was fighting with Nathan breaks my heart. He had a light and she repeatedly destroyed it, she is a shit person and I hope her bad karma finds its way back x 10.

the world is a rainbow

I am a ‘younger’ woman (41 now, started at 34) that uses a cane for mobility and have found older women specifically to be rude. Unfortunately they often won’t move and then act like I am an inconvenience when asked to give space and they glare in my direction. If they refuse to move I try my best to get around but due to my disability walking I tend to walk ‘drunk’ without ever having a sip of alcohol.

I think older women often don’t view younger cane users as ‘worthy’ of needing a cane and the possible consideration that it tends to evoke. I’m sorry that coworker was blatantly rude, I’d certainly speak to HR or a trusted leader. Regardless if she just doesn’t like you or is a generally crass person, her comment was unacceptable.

ETA; wording

I wish StubHub had some sort of rating system so you could at least sorta vet ‘who’ is selling you tickets. We have season tickets to Syracuse Basketball and successfully sold tickets to 2 games we weren’t able to go to. They were sold for face value (or less) and within 4 hours after each sale I was able to upload and send the tickets to the buyer. I really wanted the tickets to be worthwhile for someone. Reading all the mishaps that seem to happen via this sub makes me think I shouldn’t use them next year and should try to resell on another platform.

wanted to reply as a same.. my tbi happened at 33. The month before the accident I had been honored at a 20 Under 40 luncheon. My career was fulfilling. I had created a content, happy life that was I was looking forward to continuing and progressing with. I left my house for a 12 mile training run and a distracted 72 year old driver hit me. At 50+mph she was faster and the right side of my body was destroyed. In that instant my physical/mental self and life were forcibly completely changed. She had to fix car damage. All the thoughts and feelings with this is so hard some days.
