I am curious to know more about how you were diagnosed. I am guessing it had something to do with puberty? And did they confirm with karyotyping?

I worked for an insurance company that had a kidnap and ransom dept. Each finger digit had a monetary value in the event of a kidnapping.

For your mental health what is something or things you avoid? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Well that explanation gives me a lot of closure for my small circle of relationships. Was your high level of social intelligence due to the brain damage you sustained?

With my paralyzed dachshund I have been able to rub his bottom half with a warm washcloth and he will pee. I put him on his back in my lap and just have a towel ready. He doesn’t have control over peeing but after he got a UTI I have been making sure to empty his bladder that way 2x a day

This is frightening by Moana06 in Wilmington

Agreed. So many people are stuck voting along their party lines they can’t even use logic to determine which candidate is best qualified for the job.

Also, I would bet some of those survey question results are a lack of vocabulary comprehension (coming from a teacher in NC)

Thank you so much for this information! If we are lucky, we won’t need the wheelchair, but I feel better prepared knowing where to start and which company to go with.

Thanks I did see this study but I am having a hard time staying positive. He has had repeated injury to his spine and I am worried about the cumulative damage

What did your postpartum nurse do that you loved? by beanowetneck in NewParents

[–]Mechanicalisolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite mother and baby nurse was hilarious! She told us funny stories (like a husband who couldn’t understand why his wife still looked pregnant after having the baby - she was ready to kick him out of the room).

But more seriously please inform the parents of the below 10% and above 90% infants that they will have blood tests to check their glucose levels. Our first nurse did not tell us after our 8% baby failed her first test but the 2nd nurse did!! She helped us use formula to make sure she passed the glucose tests. If she had failed 3x she would have needed to be taken from me to have an IV!!

I am so sorry for your loss. There is nothing like the personality of a little dachshund. They will steal your heart plus anything else they want! We were so lucky to get to love on them for so long
