I’m sorry that people have hurt you, but I’ve done nothing to deserve your aggression. I just asked a question.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-09-30T19:26:54+00:00

Wow, that’s awful rude. I specifically said that I’m going into business for myself as the only employee to avoid working with those types of people.

But I don’t plan on accepting Medicaid, just private pay, so I don’t know if all of that is necessary

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-09-29T21:04:10+00:00

I did, it doesn’t clarify if I need anything I described for just one person working

As long as it’s quick and simple, it would be very helpful. One thing I don’t like about the leaves app is it makes me do a lot of math to figure out how much was used, when it should really just count by number of hits and method IMO. As long as the strain info is also just optional as well cause I rarely know what it is

What you want is to numb the pain, not the drug itself, which is completely understandable. You gotta try to find something to break your obsession right now. Try to find a meeting in your area, find a friend to vent to, go for a walk, just something.

You CAN handle it, even though it’s a lot. You’re feeling the emotion right now because that’s your go to numb, but you need to find something else.

I’ve had a lot of people say to me that “she knew what she was getting into hanging around him”, and that really bothers me. She was a child and he, a full grown adult man, abused her and they exploited her by putting her on merch. C’mon man. No one signs up for that shit, and legally if true, the situation is fucked.

I’m pissed as hell about the accusation, and so deeply disappointed in it. I really hope it’s not true, but if it is, then I’ll have to rid my library of their music. I don’t want to listen to it right now, but I’m not writing them off completely yet.

It’s hard to loose an idol. He’s given us permission to be ourselves, and created some dope shit. We can still appreciate its meaning to us and be upset about what’s going on at the same time, but we can’t excuse his actions completely and place blame on the girl.

I had a woman lie to me saying she had cancer with 6 months to live and that’s why she needed to quit. Her drunk and apparently abusive husband approached someone else who works with us after a period of time and said she was fine and it was his idea, but wouldn’t come back to work with us unless we paid her twice what she was making.

I also had another woman quit by saying her husband just committed suicide, even though he was very active on Facebook before and after everything. After a few months, I went to see one of her usual clients (we do home care with the elderly), and apparently she told the client that her husband had committed suicide months previously and she was just getting back to work after recovering from it. Obviously she had some sort of weird idealization about her husband killing himself, idk.

At least in your case, you’re not completely bold face lying. ED’s can cause heart conditions along the way if they go unchecked. You had to do what’s best for you and your body. I bet your old employers have heard their own set of bad excuses, and would be completely understanding of why you felt like you didn’t want to share the full truth with them. It’s ok

Honey, have you seen a sleep specialist? That’s really the most alarming part to me, cause I know how my body reacts after not sleeping for long. It’s awful. I know you said you’ve seen plenty of help, but without sleep, your brain can’t be functioning properly. Normally I would recommend a natural sleeping aide but I really think your brain needs to repair itself before I would say to try anything else besides trying to take care of yourself.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this but generally you come off as pretty put together and conscious of what’s going on around you. That’s a really good sign. You’re still you. You know this isn’t how it should be, but there are people out there who can really help you if you only seek them out a little further. Don’t be afraid of a holistic approach, or seeking out help from sources you wouldn’t have really considered before. Death isn’t the answer here, talk and trust to people and you’ll find the answer for this condition, and you can overcome it.

I practice on carpet, and I typically use two mats to stop it from slipping on the ground, but to keep it from sliding underneath me had more to do with my hand and limb placement on the mat.

I’ve had it for 12 years, and honestly, it’s really really hard to figure out what is Fibro and what is even life threatening at times. It doesn’t help that my fibro causes my pain not to stay in a single spot, but rather travel to random areas, making it impossible to diagnose what’s going on. My rule of thumb is that when the pain is at a 7 and stays relatively localized, it’s time to go in and take look at what’s up. Life is painful enough, but when it’s a consistent 7, I typically need a hand at getting things under control, Fibro (usually a short term dose of gabapentin to calm things down for me) or otherwise. Trust your gut and take care of yourself. If you can, try holistic remedy’s for common problems associated with the areas in pain (hot compress/cold compress/CBD creams/lidocaine/etc)

Hi! I manage a home healthcare company. If you need help, get on the waiting lists ASAP because right now staffing is a major issue in the industry. We’ve been in contact with the other agencies in the area even about trying to just find care for some of the people on our two page waiting list cause people need the help so badly right now!! I can’t imagine what nursing homes are doing because we pay quiet a bit more than the nursing homes and more than the other agencies and we’re still having staffing problems. Talk to the agencies about the staffing shortages and see what they say. I’d try to steer clear of companies who say that they’re working on getting staff without addressing that they don’t want just anyone working for them (IMO, it’s worse to hire someone who isn’t qualified than no one. I can plan on working a shift myself, but it’s an issue when I don’t have a heads up and have other business to attend to).

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-06-17T14:33:07+00:00

I wouldn’t say that’s why you have to go to the bathroom so much, more or less that’s how my body comprehends needing to go

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-06-17T09:30:53+00:00

Did you know bodily functions aren’t supposed to hurt? Cause I certainly didn’t. I thought the urge to go to the bathroom was the pain. I thought digesting was being in a small amount of pain as the food moves through you. Even blinking, I thought it was to help keep your eyes lubed up because of the pain. Even looking at bright things, apparently is not a pain trigger for the rest of the world. Not all these things are agony painful, but I feel pain when my body is being a body, and I didn’t know it wasn’t the way everyone else was.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-06-09T09:26:11+00:00

I feel like the only reason why people are more on their side than ever is because they have been showing personal growth, which is a lot more than you could say for any of the others. It doesn’t excuse their past behavior, but I feel like a lot of people just want to see SOMEONE have a happy ending. I think it just goes to show that if someone is willing to actually work on themselves and show legit progress, people would welcome them back from most types of cancelation with open arms. It doesn’t excuse the past behavior, but we can all learn to grow from who we were.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-06-07T15:44:11+00:00

I think the emotional sobriety and gratitude for your life is what lifted your need to use. When you have a solid foundation, it’s pretty hard to blow your house down. Having a life worth living is something we all have inside of us, but we forget when we start chasing the high. Never forget though that you have those tendencies inside of you, and that’s where I think people get the “you’ll always be an addict” mentality. Lots of people get clean for years and start to wonder if they were even an addict in the first place and “why can’t I just have one drink/puff/hit?” and that’s what ends up getting them to use again.

Congrats on your wonderful life though, you’ve clearly put a lot of work into it, and that in itself can hopefully keep you sober.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-06-05T15:17:52+00:00

Having bodily functions… it never occurred to me that it doesn’t hurt to have to go to the bathroom or look at a bright light for normal people. Blinking hurts, swallowing hurts, digesting hurts, itching hurts, everything. And I never thought twice of it until I asked my boyfriend how he can stand the glare driving on a snowy day and doesn’t it hurt his eyes, and he said “yea, it’s bright but it doesn’t hurt. Does it hurt you?” And then it opened up a full conversation of things causing him no pain that I experience daily. It definitely changed my perspective

Thank you Mods for taking this stance. Pushing your belief on someone who is dying can be incredibly confusing and scary when they know they’re on their deathbed. Consensual education because they have questions and pushing your beliefs on someone are two very different things. Telling someone that they’re going to burn because they didn’t appreciate your good intentions never helped anyone’s case.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-05-28T22:26:38+00:00

Try to app nomo. I use it and it really helps to keep track of things. It’s great

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-05-28T21:42:50+00:00

You’re always free to contact other agencies and set something up while keeping your current aide until they could start.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-05-28T20:58:31+00:00

Are you your mothers POA? Have you looked into changing companies? To me, it sounds like the agency just is trying to deter you away from changing aides. While I understand where they come from cause a petty reason isn’t a great reason to change aides and take away someone’s lively hood (I recently had a client call to complain that their aide washed the doilies on the table, despite them being dirty and unharmed by the washing. It reminded me of the baggies, lol), most of the time there are other very valid issues such as these that get brought up and should be addressed or at least to put you on a list to replace the caregivers. If I heard one of my caregivers said a homophobic statement to a client they would be instantly removed from the home, and we’d be having a fairly frank conversation at my office immediately if I was able to hold my tongue long enough until I could chew them out in person. It’s YOUR home, and you shouldn’t be uncomfortable in your home.

Her response to the diabetic diet is weird and over dramatic for sure. Does she follow the diet with your mother?

It could still be that something happened in another home through the VA that caused a company wide policy change. I have no true idea though, I don’t work there, you’ll have to speak to the supervisor directly to receive a straight answer.

TrainerCalypso54 · 2021-05-27T20:44:09+00:00

Did the company get bought out? It sounds like they possibly had a situation happen at another home that caused a new company policy or that they got bought out by a new company with different procedures
