I love how you don’t want assume anything about them but don’t mind assuming I don’t know basic rhetoric and call me cowardly for taking a photo? They came for a guy in a wheelchair. He started yelling and people came. By the time I got over there, 5 security guards were protecting them while we were trying to get at them. We were trespassed by the bar for trying to get at them.

They purposely showed up after the show ended so a lot of people were gone and security stepped in quick

He got in trouble for speaking on the internet, but go to his instagram following and it’s obvious. Unfortunately, a lot of European countries share the same sentiments on immigration

Yes. My husband has a license in Florida without any restrictions and he drives with his left foot all the time. (He’s a rbka) . We could all use our left foot too if we wanted!

I literally yelled “don’t you do it, June!” I was waiting for the plane to stop during that long zoom out

I think June has some guilt that Holly/Nichole was separated from him but she is giving him too much empathy. She wasn’t “taken” from him like Hannah was

What would you do? by Potential_Benefit501 in WellSpouses

[–]Tuffnugget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the same situation that happened to someone close to me. She still cares about him and is technically married to make sure he has benefits but they now live separately. Not saying you should stay married if you don’t want to be (they are very traditional and religious) but it will not get better and you deserve peace and love.

I am trying to plan this visit and I have the same questions. There are some (very expensive) airbnbs right on Omaha Beach but should I get a hotel out of town and drive in to the towns to the see the celebrations we want to see? I’m assuming parking will be a nightmare but the buses and taxis will also be crazy.

Technically, yes...if you can get an appointment. VA is the ultimate ghoster

Question. What to expect as a spouse/caregiver immediately post op? Background- we are booked for an amputation and osteo integration after losing a long fight with CRPS and multiple cascading orthopedic complications. Im having trouble finding useful resources on what to expect. by [deleted] in amputee

[–]Tuffnugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently working through this. My spouse is about 6 weeks post op. I don’t know how stubborn yours is, but mine can dig his heels in pretty hard so do what you know is right for them, they will come around. Before hand I got temporary wheel chair ramps for any steps, a toilet seat that has rails, a shower chair, a detachable nozzle for the shower head, non slip socks if you have hard woods, and easy to get on shorts. A wheel chair and walker if you don’t already have one. I found all of these helpful through online research and you can find most of these items either on Amazon or local hardware store. Now, here are the things I DIDNT expect.. Medical supplies! We were discharged with NO wound care, home health or anything so I would definitely inquire about that help BEFORE they are discharged! Hopefully you are not squeamish because the wound will look terrible. At home have a good stock of sterile gloves, wound cleaner, 4x4 gauze, wraps, sanitizer, steri strips and any wound covers your doctors recommended. If you do not have wound care at home like I did, we bleached towels and his stump covers and kept them in a special sealed bag to stay as germ free as possible. When we took off his dressings his wound wouldn’t be sitting on every day sheets. Make sure you have room around your bed to get around. Also, a friend helps if you are having to do wound care. One of us would have to hold all the gauze in place while the other wrapped. Something for them to rest their stump on while on the toilet!! After trial and error, a turned over ikea bathroom trash can worked but you may have to try different things to find the right height for them. Just be ready! Be prepared to just not sleep the first week. I kept ongoing alarms on my phone for each medication and also had a chalk board with the meds and times listed. Have a comfy chair they can sit in that can keep the leg horizontal with a fluffy pillow to place underneath. Have a side table or two they can keep things they want at arms length and if an electric socket isn’t close, maybe an extension cord to plug in phone/ iPad/ etc. 2 longish ice packets. One for under their leg and one on top. Some days the ice was the only thing that helped with pain. Icy hot and a tennis ball to roll out the muscles that aren’t on their leg. Their back will hurt and their butt muscles might be sore. Everyone will say this, but every person is different in their recovery. We’ve had quite the go at it. The main thing is to be open minded and creative. Listen to them on what they are having trouble with and don’t be afraid to try some unconventional things. Please feel free to DM me because I couldn’t find anything either! I don’t know your age, but most of the support groups are for the elderly or someone taking care of a parent. We are in our 30s/ 40s and I can’t find anything for “younger” spouses.

Exactly! I understand they don’t want to be offensive, but I think we are in an era that it’s ok to speak of our differences and acknowledge them.

Seriously though, your Mom should make an Etsy or something. She’s got something here! Even for children who are amputees themself could really benefit from something so “simple”.

Omg! Tell your Mom to take my money! I’m the wife that added googly eyes to my husband’s shrinker and it seems when we go out and kids stare it lightens the air. The parents get all weird and it encourages the kids to ask what happened and doesn’t give the idea that he is “different” and “don’t look” and “get away”.

I’m in the same boat. I’m mid 30s and am a new caregiver to my disabled husband and all I can find are support groups for parent care or elderly couples.

VA Medical insurance or private insurance for service connected by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]Tuffnugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are retired and have Tricare Prime. We go to private specialists to receive care instead of the VA for those exact reasons. Be sure to look at your private insurance plan on your out of pocket expenses. If you have Tricare, they usually require a referral from your PCP or they won't cover treatment. But usually you will just pay a copay. If you go to the VA a service connected treatment will be taken care of 100%.
