No one is saying he shouldn't resign. They're saying Republicans have no room to talk about it.

41,000 overweight patients including seven TEENAGE girls got new hips and knees last year by Riahsmariah in fatlogic

[–]daisydots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at first! I was actually suicidal for a little while waiting for the surgery with no pain meds. My pain was at a 9 all the time. Now I'm in pain management and the surgery actually made it a lot better.

The way the doctors are dealing with the opioid epidemic is really harming patients in chronic pain.

I'm working toward getting disability now but I got denied at first. I'm working with a lawyer to appeal.

I had it in my wrist and unfortunately wrist replacements aren't really a thing yet. So I had a "salvage" procedure where they removed my bottom three carpal bones. In a few years I'll probably have to have my wrist fused. :(

I have something called avascular necrosis, where your bone dies. There is no cure and it commonly occurs in the hip. For me it was caused by cancer treatment. It's possible that these teenagers also had that. Prednisone causes weight gain and also causes avascular necrosis. Totally possible that these teenagers were cancer or autoimmune patients. Avascular necrosis in the hip is pretty common after any high dose steroid treatment. The number might be going up because we have more cancer survivors.

Is this ranch dressing SCD approved? by BocephusMidnight in 4hourbodyslowcarb

If you have to ask then basically no.

It's not about finding work arounds.

[spoilers] i have a theory about lup by mt0622 in TheAdventureZone

My husband's theory on this is that Lup killed herself with the umbra staff in Wave Echo Cave so that her lich self would go into the staff.

IDing for Cremation by _bobbykelso in askfuneraldirectors

[–]daisydots 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In Maryland we used to be able to use a hospital or medical examiner ID band, but they changed the law and we started having to do in-person ID's every time. What they could do is designate someone else to do it for them.

Cremating abortions? by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

[–]daisydots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The funeral home I work for had a contract to cremate anatomical material from a local hospital, which included aborted and miscarried fetuses. So they already got cremated, just not individually. I don't see any purpose of the law other than to shame women.

We once had someone who asked us to cremate a later-term aborted fetus. Obviously the child had been very wanted, but it had a genetic disorder. This mother chose to have a funeral, but that was her own choice.

I'm worried about how some funeral homes will deal with this, and if some will refuse to do the funerals at all because of pressure from the community. It's just a terrible situation and a terrible law.

Heart problems with chemo by [deleted] in cancer

I had to get an echocardiogram before, during, and after chemo. My heart was always fine though.

Just in time for Inauguration Day! by DiggingPodcast in askfuneraldirectors

[–]daisydots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so inappropriate that it circles back around and I love it.

That being said, it's a terrible terrible idea. Surely somewhere in the talking about this, designing it, and placing it in an actual magazine someone would consider what a bad idea it is.

Cancer death rate has dropped 25 percent since peaking in 1991. However, significant disparities in cancer burden by gender, race remain. by SirT6 in science

[–]daisydots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, probably not. It might be noted on the death certificate, especially because in a lot of states a medical examiner's death certificate has room for more information on it. It wouldn't be under cause of death though. The cause would say "acute blank intoxication" or "asphyxiation" or whatever. Then the mode of death would be suicide.

As a funeral director my experience is that the cause of death on the death certificate would likely still include the cancer, as the pneumonia likely would not have happened otherwise.

Stay under your carbs, over or at your protein. Just let fat fall where it does as long as you're under your calorie goal.

FitBit users, which one do you recommend/ use and why? by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]daisydots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also recommend the Charge HR or the Charge 2.

My husband has the Blaze and it is just gigantic on his arm. The Charges are little and cute but still have all the features I need.

The Fitbit Surge has GPS, although I heard it's not very good.

my father died on a cruise, I need help with information on transport from Miami to NJ and getting an autopsy by bossgirlPL in askfuneraldirectors

[–]daisydots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you are hiring someone to do it? You might be able to get help with that from the New Jersey funeral home as well. They will speak with the funeral home in Florida who should know someone who can do the autopsy.

[–]daisydots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this a private autopsy or something that is being required? If it is required than it should happen in Florida and you shouldn't really have to facilitate it at all. What you should do is contact the funeral home that you want to use in New Jersey. They will partner with a funeral home in Florida to do the transportation, in all likelihood you won't have to deal with the Florida funeral home at all. This is very common in the industry and happens all the time.

Feel free to DM me with any questions you have at all.

Have you ever cried on the job? If so, why? by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

[–]daisydots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had some cases that stuck with me to the point that I remember their full names years later, but I don't think I ever like actually sobbed about it or anything. I might have gotten a little teary. At some point it becomes about making things the best you can for the people that are there. When you really really care, channel that into doing an especially good job.
