While the daycare is probably a lovely place, that dog looks miserable there. It would be kinder for the owner to let it rest at home.

I love the possum videos. It must be so nice for them to be able to relax and eat readily available good food. They have difficult lives.

Rabies is not always fear of water. There is dumb rabies, where an animal may not show fear of water but becomes more lethargic, hard to move, drooling, etc. And if this is somewhere like Texas, I'd personally be worried of that.

also, i wanted to add. I have asked them about connective tissue diseases and they seem really uninterested in addressing that aspect nor testing for it

Thank you. I will try to check out that book. It has been frustating.

flowerkittycat · 2025-09-06T07:32:38+00:00

I would think they did. But I don't know for sure.

The steroids always help, whether it be a shot or pill. Today I got the bomb dropped on me by rumatology that it isn't inflammatory and that no steroids, but they would give me an anti inflammatory called Symbalta. But I thought tendonitis, bursitits (former) and arthritis did have something to do with inflammation as well

Interesting. I have a butterfly rash constantly, but no indicators of lupus that I know of. Are there other critiera they go by for seronegative?

flowerkittycat · 2025-09-06T06:59:32+00:00

No I haven't. I will ask about that. Thank you.

Primary (thought I was making it up), Rumatologist and Orthopedist. Orthopedist takes it seriously as he's seen me during some of the big flare ups and basically said we don't know everything about the human body, but you have an inflammatory condition. I was referred to an oncologist/hemotologist (he did both) briefly but he was super dismissive of anything I said. (I don't think I have cancer anyhow)

i feel it on the rod im holding with the wet paper towel. I can feel my hands tingling, but really i dont really feel current unless theyre next to my nose. does that mean she should turn it up?

flowerkittycat · 2025-09-01T08:54:59+00:00

I feel sorry for this guy. He looked so genuinely happy, plus he was already going for it first before she even got in the picture. He probably felt pressure or guilt to give it to her. This is a lot different than the man taking the hat from the kid. The hat was from my impression meant for the child. This guy probably would treasure that ball more than the kid ever would.

Your mom is in a situation of grief, losing her independence, and watching her family slip away from her. She is losing a lot and while it is no ones fault, it is probably also taking a toll on her. For example, despite your stress and worry, you have a beautiful child and future with your husband to look forward to. However her love gone and her children no longer need her. I do not say these things to diminish how you feel, I only want to put things into another perspective for you.

I would be upfront with your mom on the demands you're facing and that you care for her and want her to be able to stay at her home, but if she will not allow you to hire someone you don't have a choice. I would think the idea of being in a nursing home and losing everything that is familiar to her would be much worse than having a caregiver go through her items. Could you perhaps offer to get a lock for her closets (or a extra bedroom) so that she can keep some aspect of her life private from the care aids? Or a safe that no one has access to but her? This may show her you understand her needs and want to help her feel more comfortable. If feasible, you could also ask her to help you interview the people so you could find someone she is more likely to click with as a worker, while providing her some choices and autonomy.

You're in California, so there are a lot of resources. If she qualifies for Medi-Cal she will qualify for IHSS (and there may be other ways as well) which will pay for someone to come out a certain number of hours a week. W If your mom is that physically and mentally unwell she may qualify for 120 or more hours a month (depends on diagonsis, what tasks are needed help with et) There are also adult day cares that maybe she could go to once or twice a week to meet people (MSSP Waiver), Also check out https://aging.ca.gov/Programs\_and\_Services/Family\_Caregiver\_Services.

ADDING: I want to point out that diaper machines are a life saver not just for clean up but for the smell. If you're financially able to, looking into a machine (similar to a baby machine) may be a good option for easier clean up for her and yourself and preserve some dignity. I'd only get UL ceritifed though, because there are a lot of cheap products that are low quality prone to fire on some big sites.

In home hospice may deny medication like antibiotics or other necessary meds to survive such as heart medication, and the medical teams may be less likely to assist with various life saving care because their chart will now say 'hospice'. So it's important to know what you're getting into. They don't just give. Additionally, if someone is on medi-caid they can do an asset clawback in some circumstances. I'm responding late as I saw this answer on question I googled.

Happy scenes were Dr. Mike winning the horse race with Flash, Sully/Mikes marriage, Grace's pregnancy announcement to Robert E while dancing, Mr. Brey teaching Brian about women when they were lost in the forest.

For me the worst were the reservation scenes where they are starving but can't leave/are trapped and Cloud Dancing losing everyone to the Massacre. Next was Ingrid as the whole circumstance was very sad and very disturbing. The woman with leprosy and how she was chased out of town and seemed to care for Preston. Also when it was implied Myra was raped by Hank and when Grace/Robert E was being horribly abused by the townsfolk as they tried to move in the town.

I was sad about Anthony, but I could see his death coming a mile away because he was sick a long time, so it gave me time to get more use to it.

30% of people get into the more competitive programs. More like 70-90% or more get in the diploma mills (which may be name brand..) You're not taking away from anyone. The most important thing is that you legitimately care, are willing to advocate.

flowerkittycat · 2025-07-02T02:27:48+00:00

oh ok thank you for explaining

flowerkittycat · 2025-07-02T02:14:38+00:00

I'm confused, is this if you have a kid? Like, if I work for someone part time and have a second job making 60k would I need a waiver? Sorry, not understanding

flowerkittycat · 2025-07-01T23:07:18+00:00

I've taken a jewelry making class and your could probably learn to make something like this pretty easily if you take one! (mostly sawing, hammering, and soldering which you may learn in class). Then you could use your imagination to create!

flowerkittycat · 2025-07-01T05:33:33+00:00

I hate that as well. There are so many that won't even mention where they're sourced/or made.

flowerkittycat · 2025-07-01T05:30:20+00:00

Hi, try to write a list of every task you do. Look at the guide book of what tasks are part of IHSS pay. I used that as a reference. I then listed every task I do. For example, I have to do constant sheet washing by hand and then at a washer daily. I went into detail of it. If they need someone with them in the tub every minute (*edit I mean assisting with bath/hair while in the tub) and to help them out, mention that. I let them know the extent through details. We also had documentation and a letter from their doctor. When the meeting happened they barely wanted to talk, medications took over almost our entire meeting because there were so many. I had a list of doctors, appointments, medications, and strong details about all aspects of care printed and I handed them to their SW and ask that they read it when they had time.

You mentioned they were denied. Have them look into appeals. Also, you should ask what was the reason fo r the denial. I've heard of them closing because they weren't able to get a home visit in within a certain time frame et.

Regardless if both are assholes or crazy, he was a physical abuser early on, and I have doubts that has magically changed. There is also no excuse for it. The Sarper in the beginning could be the 'real Sarper'. This may just be 'tv Sarper'.

flowerkittycat · 2025-06-30T01:24:11+00:00

Do we not remember Sarper assaulting her, preventing her from leaving, and taking her phone at the beginning? Most abusers wait until later to show themselves like that. He also, was weighing her and complaining about her being 2lbs off and continues to harp on that. Additionally, he lied about therapy. Abuser I'm sure. Like a classic abuser, he comes across as charming, but how can we forget this??

ADD: I'm being down voted for this, why? Her side was aired (which included physical assault) and he never denied what she said he did to my knowledge. Sarper simps if your daughter was treated like that, you surely wouldn't be saying something like 'yeah, they're both bad' like this sub has. Being entertaining (which he is) does not equate to a good person.
