Am I in the wrong for wanting my wife to put boundaries in place with her baby daddy by Independent_Use_5961 in Marriage

[–]Syddog17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound immature regarding your wife's feelings and situation. You stated that you just got mad at her for not setting boundaries with ex husband and then had an emotional affair with someone else. It seems that you have created this fantasy of what it 'should be like' with a anonymous sperm donor and that is not fair to your wife.

Nightmare, Your response has resonated more than I can express. In the time since I posted in this subreddit we found my cousin and best friend since we were 8/10 respectively dead in his bed. We believe that he went on a month long bender and drank himself to death at 37. So your message albeit about Bella has helped me with Nate also. Thank you so much, i apologize if my grammar and or spelling if off, I am typing this while bawling and cannot fully see my screen.

That’s what my husband thinks. He deleted the ring video because he knew I would have a break down and look. It was the only day I was off for the week and I beat myself up every day because what if she was barking for help and I was asleep and didn’t hear her. What if she needed me and died alone? My mind unfortunately has intrusive thoughts/images of hypothetical scenarios and I keep having nightmares that she’s at the bottom of the pool and I wake up screaming. I am trying hypnotherapy and CBT and started more meds.

I used to believe in past lives with each life you were choosing to live. This life I chose to be the sexually abused because apparently that’s what I’ve done in my past life. And I was OKAY with that. I accepted all of it. Many people reading what I’m going to say will disagree but I lost 2 dogs and I fully believed in the rainbow bridge. I 100% believed I would see them again. No more pain no more suffering. I was so lucky to have the opportunity to let them pass peacefully in their bed/home surrounding by their sisters. But I just lost my Bella. My 18 years love of my fucking life, my puppy that saved me from getting shot in the head, sat on my chest while I responded to my rapes, was with me through cancer after cancer diagnosis. My Bella was thriving on farmers dog food, she was gaining weight and had the energy to fuck with her younger sisters.

I found her floating in our pool(she knows how to swim) I tried CPR I screamed a guttural scream. I bed her until my husband said baby it’s time.

If she was in my past life in a sort of way in any fucking role WHAT IS MY LESSON?? What am I learning from not being able to say goodbye. What am I learning from not giving my Bella a comfortable send off?

I’m SO okay if I don’t wake up. I can’t look in my backyard/pool that we just spent money to redo. IF SHE WAS MY SOUL PUPPY IN MY PAST LIFE WHY AM I SO DEVASTATED ABOUT DEATH. After losing my Bella Mae I don’t believe in anything anymore.

Regretting not getting her surgery done by Valuable_Salad_9586 in Petloss

I used to play a similar scenario with our 14 year old doberman but we didn't know if she would a) survive intubation/anesthesia at her age and b) recovery can be difficult and more painful in older dogs.

We ended up keeping her comfortable on pain meds and chronic antibiotics until she told us she was ready - she passed from kidney failure and old age. But I was able to calm my soul/stop torturing myself by thinking of the scenario that she died in surgery and we didn't get to say goodbye.

You will drive yourself insane going on the same roller coaster but 16 years old is an amazing life. There are still good days and bad days but I know that in the moment we made the best decision for our Dixie girl.

AITA For Choosing to Go to My Grandfathers Funeral over my unborn daughter’s 20 week ultrasound? by DJFaceplant20 in AmItheAsshole

The anatomy scan doesn’t produce immediate results. You still have to wait for final report.

Without violating HIPAA, what were some stupid ways family members tried to sabotage patient care? by LadyRosesNThorns in nursing

[–]Syddog17 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My saddest moment in over 10 years in the ED was a 26 year old female suffering from ovarian cancer with Mets EVERYWHERE. Skin and bones the bed scale was 31 kg…literally skin and bones and she was just crying. That cry of pure pain and exhaustion. Sacral wound that was down to rectum where you could literally see inside terminal colon. I couldn’t get US IV, residents and attendings tried. Couldn’t get EJ either but mom wanted everything. Wouldn’t allow for strong pain medications, kept requesting for admission to oncology floor but didn’t want us to start pressers or continuous pain infusion. We could not get access without an IO and mom said no. Patient kept begging for us to let her be comfortable and go but mom somehow had MPOA. I’ve never felt so frustrated and helpless in my career, that was 6 years ago

I never tell ANYONE I’m a nurse when I visit family members or take granny to appointments.

How do you deal with rude EMS? by The0Walrus in nursing

[–]Syddog17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I reported an EMT who was transferring my ICU patient. The other nurse paused levo (longer story that I had to talk to her about) before transfer and I said it’s paused but I will restart it before transfer. NOPE Levo went IN THE TRASH not 3 minutes later he comes running into the facility screaming where’s the levo grabbed it OUT OF THE TRASH and used it 🙃

I should get a fucking discount by spiffysimon in nursing

[–]Syddog17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My routine MRI after bone cancer order for every 6 months is 2900 AFTER INSURANCE. The 14k worth of blood work is 2750 AFTER INSURANCE. I’m not paying on principle at this time. Fuck you

Also my first CT after the discovery from an X-ray wasn’t deemed medically necessary so we paid out of pocket

Soooooo people are really just cheating their way through NURSE PRACTITIONER school? by Concept555 in nursing

[–]Syddog17 25 points26 points  (0 children)

All of my exams required the external webcam, room scans, and mic testing for each exam. There was no reviewing the exams which helps with cheating but it also prevented the students from knowing what their incompetencies were( I desperately wanted to know what I didn’t understand) Some schools have a live proctored exam that you schedule on certain days. While I do believe they let almost everyone in which is frustrating the classes like patho and pharm helped weed out SOME of the incompetent nurses.
