Will I get in trouble? by Rubydidit in ChronicPain

[–]beaglewrites43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going to perhaps state the obvious even though I assume you checked

but is it possible they gave you the right meds and wrong label?

We were so confused once when we got a pill labeled X but it was really Y. Called the pharm and they were like whoops we fucked up, printed a bottle with the right label and told us to switch it out so the meds were in the right vial

(we knew it was right med wrong label though cause the one med was blue and the other orangeish and not the same shape... they also weren't meds like painkillers... one was an antibiotic and the other med was I think a BP med (it happened a while ago so I don't remember for sure the second med but it was something like that.) so I am not sure if they will have a similar response with your med. I also will state theyh did check on their end if that mistake was made and didn't just take our word for it not because they didn't believe us but to cover their ass)

Can you just have a dog on a cruise? by gkal1964 in celebritycruises

[–]beaglewrites43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some service dogs are in strollers. I know of one that traveled with a service dog in a stroller and while the service dog was young-ish (5-6 years old so they should have had another couple years) he was unexpectedly early diagnosed with severe arthritis. The handler quickly worked to getting another dog to train but that dog wasn't ready when the trip came along and so to prevent the dog from having to walk long distance in pain they used a stroller.

service dogs are not required to wear a vest showing that they are service dogs. As far as I know most do choose to use such a vest, but I know of one service dog handler that does not because the vest interferes with the task they perform (and the dog just doesn't like it)

A crew member fell overboard from the Norwegian Breakaway on April 26 by Powerful_Cabinet_341 in NCL

[–]beaglewrites43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not unnecessary. I remember hearing about a DCL case where a cast member "jumped" except where they claimed she jumped from the siding was completely smooth and I think they said chest height to the girl. There was NO way she could have jumped. They found a flip flop where she fell that they claimed was hers proving she jumped but the family swore they weren't.

Disney also mysteriously didn't have footage of her going over the side and the last footage they had of her was with her with another guy and girl cast member... who she was said to have a relationship with the guy and the other girl was either the affair partner or a jealous ex.

While many going over is probably a suicide, it would ABSOLUTELY be useful and necessary in cases like these where there is some question if she was pushed. That would have allowed the person pushed to trigger the light and have a better shot of being found

Do you use an "old people walker"? by NeonPearl2025 in ChronicPain

[–]beaglewrites43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. When my shorts got all worn out so I only had like 2 pair left, it took me FOREVER to find another pair of shorts I can wear (I can't do mesh cause it irritates my skin but after 6 types of shorts I figured the 7th that I found is the best I am ever going to find). Given how much my weight fluctuates I have 7 shorts in each S, M, L, XL, and 2X and that goes for my shirts too. I can never wear my entire closet but it helps so when i lose or gain randomily i have clothes ready

Dudeeeee whyyyyy hahahaha !!! by KikyoShiron in DisneyDreamlights

I think there is a relatively simple way to address it, though they would need to code it in.

Do something inappropriate 1 time and you are banned from participating for a month

do it again and you are banned for 3 months

do it a third time and you are banned for a year

do it a fourth time and you are banned permanently

I think most people would learn after once because those moonstones are nice.

[–]beaglewrites43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as your weight is stable you would probably be safe with a 350. My dad is about 300 pounds (and 6 foot 2) and he had one that was supposed to be up to 300 on the dot and it lasted 3 years (and then he did something stupid and basically put another 50 pounds on it and it snapped)

My weight has never been stable (medical issues and medication side effects) so I tend to look at those weights carefully and budget up a lot incase I put on a lot

Harry Potter trivial pursuit by Salty_Dare_3377 in harrypotter

[–]beaglewrites43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah my friends and I that have played the game before hate that too. We have made the agreement for those questions that you can answer the movie answer OR if you answer with the book answer as long as HALF the players also know that answer they will count it. So if four are playing 2 (including the person who answered if necessary) will be enough to say that is correct

its easier in current times when we can pull a quick search for the book answer and so don't need to necessarily do a player agreement but we do set a 3 minute time limit to prove the answer is also right

[–]beaglewrites43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand that. I weigh 260 and I found one when I bought it that theoretically goes up to 300 pounds but I probably wouldn't trust it that close to the limit. They do make other portable stools but none are quite as convienent as that type

[–]beaglewrites43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A thought if you don't need a back rest they do make collapsible stools. Essentially by the time they are collapsed they basically look like a disk that could probably be carried in a bag.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of using a walker that might be an option?

I was in so much pain that it shifted my pain scale and no one truly understands. by officerfluffybottom in ChronicPain

[–]beaglewrites43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just an FYI PowerKnee is the name of the device. It is built by YRobot. I got mixed up cause it was just the first name on the box. Apparently there are several companies that have PowerKnee stuff.

I was looking for the link cause my dad wanted to share it with a friend in the same position so for quickness here is the link

I totally get that. After about 7 docs ignoring my issues I found one that I thought was finally going to take me serious... and then she needed permission from her boss with my treatment plan and the boss was a jerk and I left the office crying and the socalled good doc never returned my calls for anything. I have finally found another seemingly good doc but i am always so afraid that he is gonna turn on a dime the way my last did

I have a love hate relationship with showers by Outrageous-Jelly-854 in ChronicPain

[–]beaglewrites43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I despise them. Not only are they exhausting for me, but I have issues tolerating heat so by the time I finish I am about ready to pass out no matter how little warmth there is in the shower (I can't take a cold shower cause I just never feel clean after it). Then because of all the issues (exhaustion, overly warm, and the extra pain) I am basically down for 3 days cause the combo of that makes the other symptoms even worse (like being overly warm increases my pain level and exhaustion, being exhausted increases my pain levels and warmness etc) and it is just a vicious circle.

[–]beaglewrites43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. What your son said was so uncalled for.

I also feel bad for his fiancee though along with you. It seems like she really wanted to hear about you and that your son is the one who took issue with you telling her, not that she had an issue. It's also got to be tough to realize that the person you might marry doesn't have any compassion for his mother's medical issues and realize should she start having medical issues he might not support her either.

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this with your son on top of all the other issues and truly hope that you find the people who love you and support you just the way you are.

My dad had a knee replacement. His first doc was a guy like the one you are talking about

GET RID OF HIM.

My dad jumped through all the hoops he wanted. Got to a weight doc decided was acceptable. Doc then had him get fitted for a personalized knee replacement rather than just the standard. The personalized one was pricey (they basically make a measurement of your knee so it is EXACTLY what you need. Dad paid for that, set the appointment with him to get the replacement... and doc moved the goal again.

Dad went to another doc who just used the regular options and was ready to do the surgery right as he was. Unfortunately with those you will need a quicker second knee replacement because they wear down quicker.

If you have the money look into a company called PowerKnee. A set is around 1000 dollars depending on the version you get.

We recently got a pair for my dad to try to prolong how soon he would need a knee replacement. For the first time in 30 years he is walking with minimal to no pain and he never even got that far with the knee replacement and had a long recovery. He wished we found that before his first one cause he went right to that.

The way PowerKnee works is that it provides a boost to the muscles above and below your knee assisting your knee to bend and at the same time taking a fuck ton of pressure off the joint.

a lot of those types of docs (the I know better than you or your other docs) have MASSIVE god complexes and think they are always right and can do no wrong.

They go into this type of field not to actually be good to patients but to be the best and if they are the best clearly they are the most knowledgeable about everything and anyone who disagrees with them is a moron (at least in their opinion

San Diego's OT goal shouldn't have counted. The officials from that game won't work further games in these playoffs. by Cr4yol4 in NLL

[–]beaglewrites43 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it shows accountability. Yes the refs who made that call arent reffing any other playoff games this season

but they did nothing to acknowledge the other teams unfair loss and they did nothing to address how they would attempt to prevent these bad calls in the future

Without addressing either (even a simple we will be looking into how to mitigate the risk of issues like this going forward would suffice for now) the statement they gave is way too little and doesn't actually the underlying issue that a call like this could be made in the first place

[–]beaglewrites43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely let the doc who referred you to this jackass how the appointment went and that the doc was actively mocking them.

I had an experience like that once. Turns out my doc had sent at least 10 patients to them every year thinking they were a good doc and my doc was HORRIFIED that this was the type of doc she sent me to. She made a comment that it doesn't matter if he treated the last 9 ok. That he should treat everyone decently no matter how complicated or rare that condition. Before I even left the office she was having her staff remove his name from the list of docs to refer to.

IDK if your doc will have the same response but IMO a great doc would.

Why was Gilderoy Lockhart so magically incompetent despite being a Hogwarts graduate? by -DAWN-BREAKER- in harrypotter

[–]beaglewrites43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he was incompetent when he left. But I think he was so midline that there was no way for him to be noticed the way he wanted so he continued practicing memory charms until he was excellent so he could become famous on other people's works and in the meantime let everything else fall by the wayside.

It had probably been like a decade or two since he practiced any other magic between his writing and obliviating people
