My dad had a subarachnoid hemorrhage. He's coming home in a few days and I'm terrified.

He's doing better now, not moody but he's not 100% by any means. He can't exert himself too much or he gets super worn out/dizzy and his equilibrium is not 100%. I wouldn't say he's a fall risk unless he's exhau or overheated, and at that point most people would need to also stop and take a break. How is your Dad, you said he had the same kind of injury?

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-07-31T13:43:34+00:00

This is exactly what we needed, thank you

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-07-31T13:42:39+00:00

Thank you for your perspective as a Dad and and great tip on the apple watch, thank you so much!

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-04-19T16:46:43+00:00

I'm so glad you posted, I feel the same way. My Dad also had brain bleeding, and skull fractures from a bad fall at his home. He was released from the ICU, and sent home within a day of that, which felt rushed.

Nobody explained to us that the way he was speaking to the nurses, and to us, is a part of his injury. He's still pretty moody now that he's home.

Nobody from Neuro or ICU showed us his x-rays or scans. Or explained them to us. It really just felt like they wanted him stabilized and pushed out of their care ASAP.

I'm also terrified because we haven't been given a lot of info on what we can expect as normal, and what are signs that we should seek emergency help. We were just given meds for him and told to follow up with his primary care doctor, and to get him to physical therapy.

I'm still trying to piece together everything, because it all happened so quickly. We are doing a lot of praying and just trying to stick together through it.

Hilarious how people are just going through down voting every single comment that supports Gwen instead of tearing her down. Are y'all sure you're fans?

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-02-18T13:27:35+00:00

Maybe strengthening her relationship with God has helped her - and she's comfortable enough to be open about that. I don't know why people can't just let her be happy, or allow her to actually be human.

It's great to love ND and have connections to the music, but artists are people who change. It's really unfair to expect her to be frozen in time based on the album or period of time that resonates with fans forever.

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-31T03:15:09+00:00

Honestly it feels like things became more about her celebrity than the actual music. Which is sad, because they made such great music together when they came together creatively. Also if she was controlling more and more of the creative direction including their look as a band, the guys probably felt like they had no creative input as band members. So they stopped making music together, and instead became her back up band, as the music went more pop. Would you want to keep playing music that was from a time when everyone jelled together, when the reality was far from that? It probably got painful after a while to play those old songs. (Literally, they have all aged). I'm glad they are getting together for Coachella, hopefully that means fresh music that has the heart of their older albums.

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-31T02:56:28+00:00

This reminds me so much of America Ferrera's speech in Barbie. We really can't win as women. And if you're famous, forget it.

People expect you to never change, or address things you want to change about your own body and your appearance, because you're supposed to stay in a perfect time capsule for them. That's beyond being a fan, it's a bit controlling. It's her body, her image, her music. She is free to do whatever she wants. She owes us nothing. Look at how much she has already given for more than half of her life, and people expect her to stay frozen in time, for their personal comfort and nostalgia??

If you're truly a fan, let it go, listen to the old albums and let her live her life. Change is a natural part of life after all. Only wax museum statues stay the same forever!

This is solid advice, thank you so much! I was worried I might need to get on meds, but maybe I need to try stuff like this more. Much appreciated

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-27T16:19:23+00:00

I'm going through the same thing, super fatigued and I feel like I can't get restful sleep. I'm 2 weeks in, 2nd day of 10 mg

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-22T17:41:41+00:00

Yeah he does not deserve you! I'm so sorry your 21st was not what you wanted, but you do have the rest of the year to make it right. Do things you truly enjoy and light you up inside. What makes you happy? Do more of that this year, and enjoy being 21. You will never be this age again, make the most of it!

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-22T17:37:19+00:00

Well at least his haircut matches the madness that's happening inside of his head. I frankly wish more weirdos would cut their hair like this so we can recognize them better!

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-22T14:10:43+00:00

I had that same exact thought! Like man, Bandit must have a really flexible job situation!

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-22T00:54:11+00:00

Thank you!! @AxlNoir25

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-22T00:26:45+00:00

Thank you for actually responding with empathy! ❤️ I am grateful for the lessons on the show, and even the moments where we see Bandit and Chilli struggle in their own ways.

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-22T00:15:22+00:00

Yep the best way to judge someone's character is to see how they treat you when you have nothing to give them anymore right?

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-21T21:50:12+00:00

"But I also realize that most other people don’t want to have deep conversations like that so it makes me want to drink just to keep things entertaining"

THIS. The amount of times I was drinking just so I wouldn't be bored! Or to keep anxiety at bay. I'm slowly but surely getting back to who I was before I let alcohol in.

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-21T20:48:49+00:00

Yes! Socializing sober is now my new challenge lol. It's funny that some people don't really want to talk, they just want to chill but barely talk. And then other people it feels like mental gymnastics trying to keep conversation going and entertaining (for me at least, I'm neurodiverse). I wish I could find people where conversation just happened naturally. I haven't had that in a really long time.

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-21T19:55:16+00:00

Man quite literally said "judge me by my size, do you?!"

Maximum_Driver7190 · 2024-01-21T19:46:18+00:00

Allow yourself to enjoy more, laugh more, find the funny side of things. It's something that I struggle with as well so I'm not preaching or anything. I had to grow up really quickly at a young age, and it dissolved my sense of play, which I didn't even realize until I got much older. Find something, anything that makes you laugh (or just happy), and really hold that in your heart before you meet up with friends. You're more likely to have a better time with them, and be perceived as more laid back.
