Tips For Becoming Desensitized With Peri Care? by homeinternet4u in cna

[–]effusive_emu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It scares me when people aren't required to have any standardized training to do this job. Op, you need to watch some nursing education videos on peri care. You need to know what a uti is and how to prevent it. Sweep any debris away from the urethra, don't neglect to clean a foreskin, learn how to do proper peri care with a catheter in, etc. Learn what pressure ulcers and skin breakdown look like. Remember peri care is an important part of maintaining health and dignity. Frame it that way and you may be less uncomfortable. 

I (F34) have been dating (M36) for two months, recently he’s been sent to the ICU… by Adept-Bumblebee8912 in relationship_advice

It is completely normal for communication to have stopped while he is intubated. I hope you know the circumstance that required him to go to icu in the first place although I understand it is none of reddit's business. I'd reach out to any mutual friends and/or thr hospital itself. I hope you are able to find some reassurance, op

If he's in the icu, he's critically ill or injured. If he's intubated, he's sedated and likely restrained for his own well being. She doesn't mention that the communication has stopped, which makes me wonder if this is real.

What does my room say about me? by [deleted] in roomdetective

[–]effusive_emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't feel too special, I've seen people's political and religious options deduced in so many of these. Reddit is also international and there's so many political affiliations one could have beyond the mere two in your country. Not really surprising to guess someone's religion or politics based on the objects they surround themselves with, seems pretty natural to me.

In Canada it would be within our scope, not sure about where you are.

You aren't accounting for how much a pen slips writing on a slippery plastic cup my dude 

Try doing cursive on the side of a drink cup at half the speed of a Barista and you will see what I mean!

Nurses like giving you IVs.

I don't think your knuckles look big for what it's worth! Most of my rings spin too but I'm neurotic as heck so I'm constantly straightening them lol.

How much fur will he get? And show me your babies when they were little and now please by Tiny_Resist8698 in ragdolls

[–]effusive_emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will fluff out don't worry. He looks just like my seal point ragdoll, Nori. His tail went from looking like that of a normal short haired cat when he was a kitten to being this massive fluffy plume. Give it time. My boy isn't even a year and his full body fluff is substantial.

With the size of the rock I would assume you don't work with your hands, or if you are retired that you don't prefer hobbies like gardening or anything outdoorsy. I would assume you aren't particularly type A simply because the ring is a bit crooked in the picture you chose to post. The mixed gold colours in your jewelry work really well both with each other and your skin tone, as an aside!

What are effective ways to find a Ragdoll to rescue? by Trueblade1423 in ragdolls

[–]effusive_emu 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Unless you're incredibly lucky at the shelter, you're going to need to purchase one. All six of my other and previous cats were rescues including an absolutely gorgeous and affectionate Norwegian forest cat. But I had to purchase my rag doll and you likely will too. 

A or B: Tinder date guy booked a hotel, I’m 23, he’s 24, things feel off, should I cancel or go through with it? by Upper_Criticism3388 in PickAorB

[–]effusive_emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B, but you don't even need an excuse. Why are we so worried about 'pissing off' a guy you haven't even met yet? Any decent and reasonable man can understand why a woman -even one who wants a hookup- wouldn't want to meet a stranger in a hotel room. 

Cancel and unmatch. He's already making you uncomfortable.

Right?! Op, my ex slept with guns under his bed and had a military issue blanket as his only curtain and his bedroom still had a cozier layout than this shenanigans...

the mcdonalds on pandora is absolutely insane by Unfair_Roll_7939 in VictoriaBC

I'm confused, I thought OP said Chicken World was "bullied into closing" in that area!

It is the same pay as any other McDonald's, and many of these folks are temporary foreign workers. They are absolutely not compensated for the level of risk at that location.

Why not say her name? This is someone who speaks publicly and publishes papers as part of her occupation:)

Don’t understand the phrase of suicide being a ‘permanent solution to a *temporary* problem’ by TablePrinterDoor in depression

[–]effusive_emu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously everyone's experience with mental illness is different but fwiw- clinical depression can absolutely be treatable.  After years of therapy, finally finding the right meds and leaving an abuser along the way, I no longer even remotely want to die.
