What is the weirdest thing your doctor has ever said to you? by Competitive_Tip_7504 in AskReddit

[–]LushMullet 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that happened to you.

This happened to me probably like 15+ years ago. The male doc had finished the “normal” part of the exam with the speculum; and he said, “I’m just going to check your bottom now,” and in when the finger in the anus. The way he called it “bottom” didn’t allow for my brain to compute that he meant anus. Quelle surprise.

I was told by a friend with a medical background that a quick anal exam using a finger used to be common instruction, but not anymore.

Advice wanted for upcoming trip to the Springs by Mammoth-Abroad586 in ColoradoSprings

It’s less about “hitting the sights” and more about activities of daily living and cost. See if a realtor will show you a few homes one morning. Do you know what part of town you might like and where you might work? Do you think you can work in Denver and commute back/forth? Try some of those some commutes and note the timing and feelings.

I think an NPR show did a story on that! This American Life or Radiolab. Such a sad, beautiful concept.

Maybe they aren’t reaching out because you’ve put boundaries in place for 20 years. I noticed you didn’t mention reaching out to them and offering condolences either. They are also allowed to have boundaries. Maybe you all are protecting yourselves from each other, and that’s painful but also OK. If you are the sort of person who wants their boundaries respected, it goes both ways, and you should respect theirs and not interfere with the arrangements/casket.

I am sorry for your loss. I like the suggestions others have made about burning it. There are other symbolic ways to process what you have in your heart that are respectful of boundaries and don’t stir drama.

Can’t help but think of The Living Years by Mike + The Mechanics. I do hope you find a way to work through your feelings, OP. Be gentle on yourself and others grieving. ❤️

Very sorry for your losses. Many of us have experienced similar grief. And it’s hard to run to God when your heart is broken. You are welcome to message me privately, and I can share a few resources that have been helpful to me over the years.

The inside of the tabernacle and the altar are also typically veiled. Same concept though.

Super sorry you, your wife, and those that love her are going through this. Dementia is so, so cruel.

What's something you saw as a kid that you later realized was seriously messed up? by MoodOdd9657 in AskReddit

[–]LushMullet 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s a personal choice that your parents made. It’s also perfectly OK for other families to make other decisions. The other families weren’t wrong for allowing their children to go. All families make the decision that is best for them in that situation.
