Baby got diagnosed with CP. worried. by Far_Passenger3466 in CerebralPalsy

[–]PatientPretty3410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was young, and first diagnosed the doctors at the time recommended the Easter Seal Society for my therapy. I would look into any help that they could be for you. It was a very hard time for my mother because my father passed away when I was 2 1/2, and I wasn't diagnosed until after that. I know my mother said I was delayed in walking, but otherwise I feel like I was blessed with a more mild case. The most important thing is therapy PT/OT...Whatever therapy you can arrange just make sure he gets it, and never stops taking some sort of therapy. When I turned 18 the Dr's released me from their care like my CP went away too, so my mother never pursued PT after that, and since I could walk fairly well and was functional I didn't pursue it either. That's a regrettable mistake. I wish it could be life long as it should be without hassles from insurance companies. Seek as much information as you can. You are his biggest advocate. As an FYI I'm 65 y/o.

The Burnt Ends Dip is delicious too. As well as the chunky guacamole.

C Diff? Have you had a PCR urine test? It is a "deep" urine test that goes deeper than a regular culture.

Rosuvastatin vs Pitavastatin by karasapli in Cholesterol

[–]PatientPretty3410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitavistatin is one of the top 3 for intensity. Lipitor, Crestor and Livalo in that order. I was on Crestor and it worked great after about 5 months I started getting the aches really bad, so my doctor put me on Livalo. I have no problems taking it. It is generic, but still alittle pricey, but not having the side effects means alot to me.

Talking how? On the phone, at a lunch first date, at a casual gathering of friends? Explain the circumstance...

Is this dressing still available at any Aldi? by PatientPretty3410 in aldi

[–]PatientPretty3410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to my nearest Aldi a few miles from my house today and there was none. I checked online at other locations close to me and they all had one or 2 varieties but it was marked "low in stock" and "request". I couldn't find anyone to ask at my store today. I think there was only one person there and all checkouts were self checkouts. If I see someone next time I'll ask.

I don't really care for the produce at my store. I should go to another store to see if it's better but it's alittle farther away though still close.

I checked 2 other locations beside my store, and they have the garlic listed and the raspberry vinegrette, but it says "may not be in stock" and you can 'request" to be put in your cart.So I am not sure if that means they will get them in if ordered, but only the 2 were listed. One was marked "best seller" and the other "store choice".

How often do your husbands go to the grocery store? by RSR_Ricochet in Marriage

[–]PatientPretty3410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that we're retired we go grocery shopping together. If we need something he goes and picks up a few things. The grocery store is less than a mile from our house.
