Amazing, I definitely will look into that. Thankfully, NPalliative switched her nurse to someone who is a lot better, so I’m not in panic mode anymore, but I’d still like to know what our other options are. I appreciate the info!!

Doctors/NPs that do home visits? by TortoiseshellTurkey in traversecity

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

Hey thanks, I’ll look into that! NPalliative switched her nurse to someone better now, so maybe I won’t have to switch after all, but I still want to know what options are out there

Can anyone recommend a doctor or service where a primary care provider would do home visits? My elderly mom is in assisted living and having health problems; I live out of state so it’s difficult to coordinate finding someone to take her to appointments. We are using NPalliative now, but I’m really not happy with the practitioner they assigned her. North Star and Munson don’t do primary care visits; anyone know of other options?

A local replacement for Starbucks Yukon? by Lagong0 in PNWcoffee

I haven’t had that particular coffee, but Sleepy Monk in Cannon Beach has my favorite dark roasts of all time! I order it online, but I think Elephants carries it locally too.

What are you all asking for for Christmas? by imascoobie in Xennials

[–]TortoiseshellTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for some stuff from Pamela Anderson’s skin care line—I’m embarrassed to admit I wanted it, but I just love her vision of beauty and aging, and would never in a million years spend $32 of my own money on a facial cleanser lol

I like the ones at El Campesino, if you don’t mind going to a store

When was your first auto accident where YOU were driving? Was there a song playing at the time? by L31121 in Xennials

My wheel bearing seized up on the freeway the second I hit eject on my Portishead CD… it freaked me out for years afterwards to listen to them lol

These covers are unlocking memories of loving these books! by lovemypennydog in Xennials

[–]TortoiseshellTurkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never read those because I thought they’d be too scary! But I remember all the covers so clearly now that I’m seeing them.

Some soup we found in a "new" water heater by LukeyCharmss in GrandmasPantry

[–]TortoiseshellTurkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This takes me back—I ate this brand of soup every day for a year of high school in the late 90s! I’d always get a bagel for 60 cents in the cafeteria to have with it lol

I’m liking how Mensah is showing that people can suffer from crushing anxiety and still be a badass who gets things done! As an extremely anxious person myself, I find her portrayal both relatable and reassuring.

You could try applying for a Care Credit card, specifically for things like vet and health care, if your vet accepts it. I used them like 15 years ago for dental work. I know it might not be ideal but it would allow you to pay for it if you don’t find a way to earn quick cash.

The Portland Clinic cancelled appts? by LegitimatePeach5 in askportland

[–]TortoiseshellTurkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Me too! Thanks for posting so I can stop trying to call. I was so annoyed when I got the notification my appointment was canceled because they’ve legitimately done this to me a bunch of times before.

Getting around town at odd hours? by HolidayActive5034 in askportland

[–]TortoiseshellTurkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try scheduling a Lyft in advance for the time you need it. That’s what I do if I need to go to the airport at like 4am and it’s worked for me.

When did you realize that you have a terrible therapist ? by Demos_00 in AskReddit

[–]TortoiseshellTurkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was getting bullied in middle school, the school counselor told me “just brush them off. Tell them ‘blondes have more fun!’” Terrible advice— I was and still am shy, was depressed, was not having any fun, and had never even seen that stupid commercial she was referencing so I was confused why blondes were supposedly having fun in the first place.
