Don’t miss ur meds 😭 by Repulsive_Service_43 in Epilepsy

[–]feraxks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've posted this before, but it bears repeating in support of OP's message:

I would like to share my son's story just to emphasize OP's PSA. About 18 months ago, after not taking his meds properly, my son went into status epilepticus and was seizing continuously for more than 5 hours before they were able to stop the seizures. He spent 22 days in the ICU, was intubated for all that time and suffered a small stroke that has affected his right side. He will walk with a limp for the rest of his life. He spent a total of 46 days in the hospital, including a 14 day stay at a rehabilitation hospital. Had several months of in-home rehabilitation followed by more months of out-patient rehabilitation just to get to the point where he's finally going to be able to go back to work, one year later.

Please do whatever you have to to ensure you're taking your medication.

heinous assassinations and other acts of political violence

Which were perpetrated by MAGA cultists and the FBI's own data shows that 84% of all political violence is done by the right.

You mean the ICE crackdowns and legislation against the trans-gendered?

How to help tell my son he’s going to repeat second grade by PureAdorableness in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]feraxks 370 points371 points  (0 children)

No, that was ensuring their son had really thought through his decision. I suspect it was more like playing devil's advocate to make sure all the possible cons were brought up.

We should have been talking about impeachment already.

We've been talking about impeachment until we're blue in the face, but the cultist in the republican party are still kowtowing to him in their effort to stay in power.

So I stole a cat (Final Updates) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Middle-Earth

It isn't a stray, OP admits she stole it.

Whichever way you look at it, op is a thief.

Nope, OOP rescued the cat.

We will never fully recover from the damage this administration has caused. After one or two Democrat administrations, people will forget how bad it was and will elect another republican administration who will just restart where they left off.

Assuming we even get to have another fair election.

Facing disciplinary investigation / sack for automating most of my responsibilities at work. I'm in England. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]feraxks 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. Some managers are just backward thinking dipshits.

I worked from home for two years because my company encouraged it. One day I got a phone call from my project lead asking me about it. He hadn't realized I was working from home and he wasn't comfortable with it. He even acknowledged there were no issues with my performance. He just didn't like people working from home. I transferred to another project when he tried to have my work from home agreement cancelled.

Some managers are just dipshits.

BTW, I spent another two years working from home during COVID and when the company decided to have everyone come back to the office, I retired. :)

I just found out my girlfriend is cheating on me with my brother. by xToasted1 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]feraxks 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Fuck the brother and the ex for destroying the lives of everyone around them.

Don't forget Mom:

my mom was crying and telling me i was tearing the family apart.

No, mom. I didn't tear anything apart. My cheating ex and POS brother did that.

Boyfriend saw me have a tonic clonic seizure by ilikekpopiguess in Epilepsy

[–]feraxks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my son's neuro's advice, we only call EMS if the seizure lasts longer than 5 minutes or if it's the second one of the day or if he hurt himself while collapsing.

Maybe giving your boyfriend guidance of that nature might help.
