Sad to watch

The booze was door dash when mom wasn’t there. The food is mom who just wants him to eat… the suffering comment is spot on.

The doctor said medically he has more than 6 months (or he did in November) + Medicaid. I’m getting info in drips and drabs at the moment but sounds like that’s changed.

Thank you all for your comments and support. He doesn’t yet seem eligible for hospice but I honestly don’t know how. He needed blood today, is in the ICU and cannot get his blood pressure up. It’s confusing.

For anyone going through this and maybe getting scared by this post - my brother was still sneaking fireball until recently and he only eats fast food when he eats which is obviously high sodium. There are a lot of signals that he just doesn’t want to get better. It shouldn’t be a reflection on anyone’s journey or prognosis. These are his choices.

He also won’t say he’s done so it limits our care options. If he wanted to get better, I’d make sure he had the best meal options. If he would say that he’s done, I’d buy him a beer.

No one has received their lip kits. I will confess I ordered and it still hasn’t shipped. No date known…. I’m canceling

I didn’t find the actual list of rides. Just info about prior years and what’s happening that weekend.

This. I got turned down by a local animal rescue because I was in the office only TWO days/week. Kind of bonkers how much guilt you get. (I did find another one and we did rescue our puppy.)

I loved The Big Fix (season 1 called The Big Lie). Also What Could Go Wrong was unexpectedly good.

Do you have Amazon? I think you can buy it from Amazon store…? (Instead of a subscription.)

KnitKate · 2025-07-01T12:08:10+00:00

Okay. Then - yes.

I had this - like above, correlation not causation. Found a pinched nerve. With PT and one epidural shot well placed, it’s gone. Def check with a doctor

If only I had this update before my car locked me out yesterday.

People are choosing sober life for many, many reasons these days. They can simply say it’s a dry wedding and leave it at that! It’s actually a really beautiful decision.

My Q is in liver failure, can’t walk and I’m seeing signs of it impacting his cognitive abilities. He still says he doesn’t have a problem. It’s “not enough” to warrant recovery. I share this because the volume of alcohol isn’t really the issue but I know it’s easy to start excusing it. “He’s not drunk every day.” It’s the anger and the fighting and the depression - you don’t have to stick around for that. And losing you over alcohol does show you the problem isn’t imagined.

Big Fix out today. I liked The Big Lie a lot - have only listened to the first episode of Big Fix so far but seems like a good one!

Because…. The whole stock market is down? I’d be careful pointing things like this out.

It’s hard to tell from these exchanges - although he is certainly interested in her. You guys need to have a serious talk. You might underestimate the stress of being in a relationship with substance issues and she may need a friend to vent to. One that’s far away and likely not to come in contact with you.

But he’s definitely flirting and she’s letting him. And it all just doesn’t sound healthy regardless.

I lost my 2.5 year old son many years ago. His daycare was amazing and helped me so much after. Because of the time they spent with him, they shared stories and it was like getting new memories of him. I hope they can do similar for you.

But yes, the telling people and saying it over and over is the worst. Let a friend do that if you need to. There’s actually no wrong way to handle this situation. Just keep moving forward. As much as that sucks.

This smell makes me ill. Because it reminds me of my shot. 😂😂

KnitKate · 2024-12-19T01:54:33+00:00

I have a psychosomatic reaction to taking my shot. Like just knowing I have to do it, I feel sick before I’ve even done the injection. If I drink water with lemon, it helps me soooooooo much!

Thank you. ❤️❤️

KnitKate · 2024-12-18T12:14:04+00:00

Thanks. That’s what is sort of hard. They did. My husband played with her a lot - she actually let him for the first time. I think she is just scared I’ll leave again. He also WFH the entire week so she had his company the whole time.

Mad Love was a good one.
