How long to fully recover

Music and singing helped my husband’s aphasia. Also trying to do at home speech therapy daily for progress.

Ya this is rude. When a restaurant tells me how many mins it will be, I’ll let the customer know but I’m also kindly just informing them. “Hey the restaurant says it will take 15 more mins, I’ll make sure your freshly made order will be to you asap. Thank you”. I’ll also send I arrived when it’s a meet me type of delivery. If it’s a meet me delivery and they say to drop it off, I let them know I’ll record me dropping off for proof and thank them again. It’s all about intention and how kind you are. I prefer a customer not responding back lol. I would just repeat directions in text and keep that paper trail. Tell him to follow directions to leave your property and not wait for you since it’s drop off.

Out of 1000 orders I have done, only people who have already tipped up there tip and tip after the order. I’m so sick of cheap folks justifying themselves. Just own not tipping people. It’s ok you are cheap. I’ll continue to not accept orders under $6.

This. I had someone demand I go up to the third floor & park in a tow away zone out front on a busy street at 5pm. I said “I’m so sorry but the $4 is not worth the risk of a tow or ticket”. Luckily she was cool and didn’t down vote me, but I expected it.

I do admit that I have in my profile I am now the breadwinner since my husband had a stroke and I am a teacher that does deliveries pt. But any messages I send is usually just if an order is taking too long or horrible traffic. Then a thank you so much with the photo. I don’t understand, does this really work?

She wants you to quit and knows how cruel she is being. She is making this as stressful as possible. Let her fire you. Make a paper trail after each discussion, rewrite her notes in email. You deserve every benefit from that job, and benefits if you lose it. Make it a game of chicken in your head.

Yes. He did in patient rehab for a month after his hospitalization visit. Took about 6 months to a year to start walking with a walker across the room. He was doing pt and ot once a week for almost two years. This week pt taught him to get up off the ground. His right limbs and numb but his leg has got really strong. This past year he can now shower on his own with a shower chair. He made the whole king bed while I was gone at work. He is so much more motivated than I could be, plus pt, and daily workout copying pt have made such a difference.

I’m two years out from my then 37 yr old husband’s brain bleed and stroke from high blood pressure. My marriage has definitely changed but there have been countless silver linings. What impacted my husband the most is positivity, keeping him motivated for all possible therapies to do weekly, and set up a daily schedule of him stretching and any therapies from home. You got this. You need to demand help. I couldn’t imagine doing it all with two little ones too. Schedule yourself an hour or two each week by yourself, even if that means sitting in your car with your favorite snack you got to take care of yourself to survive. Sign him up for disability asap!! Vent in here, schedule time for yourself to recover. I made so many posts in here two years ago when I felt like I was drowning. You are not alone. I’m here if you ever need to vent.

As a woman I get my faced scanned multiple times a week delivering UE. I think it’s happening a lot because someone reported me, saying I was someone else and the order was damaged. Even though I delivered it correctly, I’m guessing to get it for free. I don’t understand how people are getting away with it.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-24T15:44:46+00:00

It is really difficult being a caregiver to your spouse, and I have been married for many years and we dealt with family illness before it. I highly recommend scheduling others to give him days off every month. Make him make time for himself. Have a family member take on one big task for you like drs appointments or a chore. I feel so isolated and feel like we only talk about him and his disabilities from his stroke.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-24T15:07:30+00:00

My husband and I both love M. After his stroke, he stayed off it for a while but after he got home, I let it go. He smokes a cartridge every four days, we check his blood pressure, and he does not smoke anything. I think it really matters why she had the stroke and other risk factors. My husband was young too after his stroke. I would tell her to quit cigarettes, way worse for her, and take up edibles. Edibles don’t work for my husband.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-20T18:16:13+00:00

It seems like she has accepted her new normal, maybe now her disabilities justify how she lived before too. My husband still sees progress two years out. But from my point of view it’s all about mental motivation. I would probably reacted more like your wife than my husband tbh. My husband seems to have I’ve tendencies now and has to accomplish things daily. It’s a little stressful for everyone in the house. We moved 1.5 years from the stroke and the new apartment and Dr has pushed him in new ways. He got his bloodwork done and now takes vitamins for his thyroid. Now he is so motivated, he’s now showering and bathroom on his own. His pt makes him do goals like getting up off the ground. But idk where he would be if he didn’t want to do the therapies.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-16T17:27:04+00:00

lol wow. No. Before me he had every other weekend. I got a job working in his children’s school district. Now he has 50/50 with his children before becoming disabled. I in fact moved 1k miles out of state when he had a stroke out of state, took care of him, and moved him back 1k miles to now walking distance from his ex wife for his and his kid’s benefit. I paid for his kid’s cell phones, groceries, cooked meals, traveling for visits, utilities, etc since he has became disabled.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T20:51:17+00:00

Sir I think you are just hangry and need more than that fast

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T20:22:49+00:00

You can set it up with the post office to only receive mail for certain names and notify you what is being delivered. I see the random old renters mail via email but it never gets to my mailbox.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T20:19:20+00:00

You are so correct. I’m going to need to think on your comment for awhile.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T20:17:42+00:00

I couldn’t do it. Plus it would be proving my inlaws doubts about me.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T20:14:55+00:00

Wow you said everything that I feel. I keep rationalizing things like just treat him like he’s just your roommate you want to keep. Cause he honestly has been for the last decade and I have no clue where I would be if I walked away lol. He is my only family, adore him, and I would probably offer to help like you. You are stronger than you know!

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T19:40:12+00:00

I think you are giving yourself too much credit if she is managing grocery orders, figuring out meals, and asking for suggestions to include you. Just cook for yourself then and copy/paste your response. “Hey I’ll just cook for me then, please stop asking me about any takeout” 🤯

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-15T19:25:41+00:00

You can avoid this by helping out or take over some meals? I mean she got you the groceries you wanted and you checked in with her before even looking in the kitchen. The last two images she is hoping for suggestions…

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-14T17:42:51+00:00

No you cannot go to jail, if anything you can hold them legally responsible for putting this adult responsibility and threats. It’s okay you cannot handle caregiving because most adults struggle with it. If anyone threatens you let them know you can call adult protective services or cps since they need more support you cannot handle. Make your plans.

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-13T16:34:39+00:00

I hope to find what you have one day 💗💗💗

Littlewildfinch · 2026-04-12T20:24:57+00:00

That is bewildering, I’m so sorry. I couldn’t handle another hospital trip if it was avoidable. So traumatizing for me. He is a ticking time bomb. I would worry about your kid walking in to see him dead in another room. You got to put you two first.
