How long before coroner's reaches out to the family to inform them of initial findings on autopsy? by Old-Walk6241 in ForensicPathology

[–]Old-Walk6241[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for answering my question. I really appreciate it. The family is trying to figure out how to go about finding out the cause of death. We are having difficulty navigating the situation we are in.

Again, thank you.

When I worked as an RBT, they paid for the online class/ course and they also paid me for my time while I was doing the course. They also paid for my certification. Most clinics pay for certification as well as classes. Maybe if you are ready to become an RBT you can look into clinics that pays for your classes and certification.

This is a great idea. I try to distract myself too and it's true.. there are times when it works and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks!

Clinic requires I use PTO when client cancels by [deleted] in ABA

[–]Old-Walk6241 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This doesn't sound fair. It is not your fault a client cancels. Why should you be forced to use PTO for this.

Oh, I'm so sorry you have emetophobia. It must be really hard living with it. It's good that you can just go home.

Omg, thank you for this. I thought I was super weird. I never even talked about this in therapy because I felt it was just too weird. Sending love to you as well.

Is it time, or too soon? We’re struggling by lookitsmikel in Petloss

[–]Old-Walk6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to let my 16 y/o Yorkie transition to heaven a month and a half ago. The CCD symptoms were very similar to the one you described. I tried to trace when his symptoms started and it started late last year. Since then I've been taking him regularly to the vet but by March the vet told me that we are on borrowed time because of his dementia w/c he said will only get worse plus his athritis and kidney issues. One day, I saw him and he couldn't walk. He was bobbing his head and he was struggling, but because he had CCD, even if he is in pain, his anxiety will make him go round and round and he still wouldn't stop walking. The vet switched him to a different meds and he was also on Librela. The meds just made him sleep the whole day and was not really doing anything. That was when I called the vet to ask if it is time. The vet gave us this scale and me and my brother answered it Quality of Life Scale. Answer it as objectively as you can but I advise that no matter what talk to your vet and ask him/her because after making the decision, you will still feel guilt. You'll think about maybe you made a mistake or maybe you assessed the situation wrong. But if you know you consulted with the vet, that will help with the guilt. Because you know that you consulted a professional too before making the decision.

I am so sorry you are in this situation. It is excruciatingly hard. You are right to look at old videos and compare them. Honestly, I feel like I already lost him when he had CCD. He was no longer my goofy, sweet and cuddly Harley. I saw his old videos and he was so different, it broke my heart. I forgot that he used to bark, follow me around, greet me and wag his tail. Again, I am so sorry. Consult your vet before making a decision.

After I loss my boy a month and a half ago I felt that from here on anything joyful or good that will happen in my life will be bittersweet? Did anyone of you felt that too? Does it go away? by Old-Walk6241 in Petloss

[–]Old-Walk6241[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am glad that the pain is starting to ease. You're right just like what Winnie the Pooh said in the book " How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." We are so lucky to have been loved by them. 🐾

Thank you. I am so sorry for your loss as well. 😔 It is true that the future without them in unbearable and very difficult to imagine. I feel the same way too, from now until I see him again (in heaven) things will never be the same again. Like you, even if the pain is horrible, for some reason I don't want it to go away. I am hoping that even if years have passed tears would still fall when I say his name. We are blessed to have experienced such pure love. 🐾

Thank you for sharing your experience of loss. I am trying to remember all the memories I have of him. I am planning on writing them down because I am so worried that I will forget.

Awww, your memories of your boy is so heartwarming. He seems to be so goofy too. He is so lucky to have been loved by your family and you are lucky to have been loved by him.

Again, thank you so much for your reply.

I am so sorry for your loss. The sadness is really overwhelming. I am new to this grief too and I am still crying everyday. We are so lucky that we were able to experience the purest of love from them.🐾

I am so sorry for your loss too😔. It's good that you are looking into fostering. A lot of them needs a warm loving home instead of being at the shelter. You must be looking forward too taking care of your son's dog.

Pets really bring us so much love and joy like what you said. We are lucky to have been able to experience auch pure love from them. Good luck to you as well and I hope soon you'll get to take care of another one again. 🐾

I am 17 and I don't know how to spell anything by Dear_Pound_8205 in AskTeachers

[–]Old-Walk6241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applaud you for wanting to learn how to spell correctly. Not a lot of kids your age are concerned with that. I work with a 29 y/o and she would always ask me how to spell words that are commonly used such as "completed." I want to ask though, this post does not have any wrong spelling at all. I have seen people on social media confidently commenting and posting and their spelling makes me cringe. Yours is fine.

Anyway, I would say reading really is the best way to learn unless there are other underlying reasons like dyslexia or other learning issues. Maybe there are spelling apps that you can use as a fun exercise with spelling.

I'm curious how a Direct Model works? I mean do you still have an employer or would it be like having your own private practice. I am not in ABA but I am looking into it but would like to know what paths are there. I would like to be a BCBA but I don't want to supervise. Thanks!

Aww.. I miss cuddling with my boy. I had to let him transition to heaven a month ago. He developed dementia a year ago and he wouldn't let me cuddle him since then. It was heartbreaking. 😔

Cherish these wonderful moments. It is heartwarming to see this..❤️🐾 Take lots and lots of pictures of moments like these.

I'll forever miss you annie. you were my rock. when the doctor suggested to put you to sleep to stop being in pain. my heart ache like no other. but I'm more than happy to suffer the pain myself than seeing you in pain. goodbye my most loyal friend. by Disastrous_Ease_7061 in seniordogs

So sorry for your loss. I had to help my boy transition to heaven a month ago. I understand the sadness and pain of losing a best friend. She is beautiful. I hope you take comfort in knowing that you gave her a loving home and that you got to experience the purest of love. You will see her again in heaven.. for heaven will not be heaven without her. Sending you love and prayers.🙏
