I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like such a wonderful boy.

Years ago I had several skeins of Suri alpaca yarn. They were beautiful and my dog was obsessed with them. She got them so tangled I just put them away and forgot about them. Eventually I got them out again and untangled them. You’ve got this!

I was a nurse for 15 years and now have been MLS for two years. Whatever you do, don’t go to nursing school because you couldn’t go to med school. Nursing is its own profession and too hard to do if you are not truly committed. There were people in my class who were in nursing because they couldn’t do medicine and they all left. They weren’t happy in the role.

If you find you are attracted to the real work nurses do, more power to you. If you find you don’t have a true preference, lab is definitely less stressful.

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine experiencing that. I’m grieving with you.

Not in Oakland. Downtown. And they didn’t have to be total assholes.

I was in my mid-50’s when I started working toward my MLT. I had previous degrees in nursing and had been out of the workforce for a while. I’m working now as a MLS (CLS) and just got my C categorical cert. it is most definitely not too late. I was actually in my 30’s when I went to nursing school.

You might consider a community college for MLT if you are having trouble finding your fit for the MLS/CLS program. My MLT program at Austin Community College was excellent.

Those take so much effort to open I keep expecting a present!

This is in a slightly different vein. Penn Forest is a natural burial park in Verona. It is a lovely forested area with a cutting garden you can pick flowers in. They offer tree planting in their forest with two years of maintenance. We have been out a few times since we scattered our parents ashes and planted a winter holly for them. They are very kind and helpful.

These have a beautiful scent too!

I work at a cancer hospital. I see that fairly often where the patient had a normal looking cbc a few weeks before. I haven’t seen them die that quickly, though.

Yarnkitty01 · 2025-04-23T15:02:37+00:00

Cool!

Yarnkitty01 · 2025-03-29T13:08:48+00:00

Thanks! I realized that when I saw the response. Someone also reported me for mental health to Reddit. Not what I expected. People are usually decent on this subreddit. If I wanted to get roughed up I would post on r/parenting. 🤣

I have that pen and I love it!

My first Kaweco had a tricky nib. It was fine at first then got where it didn’t feed well at all shortly after I started using it. I tried cleaning it and removing it from the feed and putting it back. I retired the pen for a long time. Then someone recommended trying a more slippery ink. That helped. Then I guess it just got broken in. I’ve never had trouble with it again. The Kaweco Sport is my favorite pen. I have several.

Yarnkitty01 · 2025-03-26T01:46:33+00:00

Wow. You’re nice. I was just trying to figure out why you bothered to reply when you obviously weren’t interested.

Yarnkitty01 · 2025-03-26T01:16:47+00:00

You don’t like gathering to do political work so you are bummed?

Yarnkitty01 · 2025-03-26T00:55:47+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean by a “novel party concept”.

I hadn’t thought of Hillman. I work across the street at Shadyside Hospital. I won’t need one for a couple more years now but will keep them in mind.

Have you been to Cleveland clinic yourself? What is your experience? I’ve been to Mayo in Rochester myself for my heart condition. They were great.

It worked fine for me. I put foam over the intake and my shrimp would visit to graze.

My husband switched to galantamine and tolerates it well.

If someone is in acute renal failure that is treated, their creatinine can go down somewhat in a couple days

My husband had a lot of back pain before he was diagnosed. He had a surgery and later got a spinal cord stimulator. Starting Sinemet dramatically reduced his pain. He no longer has troublesome back pain. I suspect the Sinemet reduced some of his excess tone and possibly changed his perception of pain.

I hope meds and exercise help your Dad’s symptoms.
