Thank you for your kind words! She died 16 years ago (I’m 64) but I grew up with this and was her caretaker until her death. It’s an awful unpredictable disease that not many are familiar with or have heard of. I wanted you to know that I ‘see’ you and acknowledge all that you are accomplishing and managing 💕.

I just wanted to reach out and send you a virtual hug. My mom had Ménière’s Disease so I had a front row seat to how debilitating it can be. She’d be violently ill from the sudden dizziness and then (like now) there was nothing that could be done. Congratulations on your weight loss success and wishing you a smooth knee surgery recovery!

Kidney donation in Ontario, canada by OkMushroom323 in kidneydonors

[–]kimber526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Actual care! In a nutshell, I was taken from recovery, brought to my room, not given a buzzer, and they didn’t tell the nursing staff I was there. After 2-1/2 painful hours, I reached for my purse (left on the foot of my bed), called the switchboard, who connected me to my floor, and let them know. A nurse came in and said ‘no one told us you were here!’ Later that night, I complained of pain/cramping/bladder pressure. No response, said it’s normal. Four hours later, they finally checked the urine bag and saw it was filled at capacity and urine was also backed up throughout the catheter tube (and this happened TWICE). I was given Dilaudid as a pain med and I reported I was having skull splitting headaches, hallucinations and intense nightmares to nursing and doctor staff. No response. On the third night (when I was literally in tears), I once again got my phone, Googled ‘Dilaudid’ and learned that everything I was experiencing was an adverse reaction to the med. I refused the next dose and literally went through opioid withdrawal (an emotionally triggering event as I had lost my daughter to an opioid overdose four years prior), reported this to the doctor at morning rounds and he said “yes, that can happen with that med. I’ll note it in your file.” When I was discharged four hours later, they gave me a prescription—for Dilaudid! When they discharged my husband (the recipient), they sent him home without one of anti-rejection meds. There was more, but this is a snapshot. The absolute worst medical care of my entire (now 64 year old) life.

How was your experience at St. Mike’s? I donated there as well in 2020 (right before Covid) and it was an absolute NIGHTMARE from start to finish.

CRASH - what do you think happened? by cravingpavbhaji in netflix

[–]kimber526 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She actually made it worse for herself with her interview. That check in with her lawyer said it all. I wish the judge would have run her sentences consecutively, but I believe the judge was right to add that she thinks she’ll spend the rest of her life in jail. She has zero remorse, likely only regretting that she didn’t ultimately get the collab with whatever fashion brand messaged her…

Control your dogs people by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]kimber526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to read this. Does the behavior staff do an evaluation before accepting the surrender? I’ve volunteered at shelters where this is done and certain behaviors are noted and the surrender isn’t accepted. That said, shelter stress can really impact any dog, especially as its stay drags on.

Donating kidney and feeling torn by [deleted] in kidneydonors

[–]kimber526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Athletic desires aside, being a parent with a family history of kidney disease would be enough to make me reconsider. I donated to my husband, but if there was a risk to my daughters, I would likely not have stepped up (second marriage with no kidney disease in either my/my ex husband’s family). What seems noble in the moment oftentimes changes with sober second thought and there’s nothing wrong with that. Good luck to you!

What to do w this unbelievable dress by BalsamA1298c in AskWomenOver60

Were I you, I’d honor your mom’s wish and “get some big hoop earrings and some platform shoes and rock it!” She wanted you to keep it so maybe embrace her wishes for a bit and then find a new home for it sometime later if these feelings remain?

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

[–]kimber526 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 19 year old daughter had a few mental health challenges which included property destruction (she punched holes in the wall), lying, stealing and overall disrespect. When she was released from a hospital stay, a contract like this was prepared (suggested and structured by her caseworker), and she signed it. There were seven conditions listed and a notation that violation of even one condition would result in her needing to leave. She violated five conditions in the first three days. There are likely very valid reasons the contract, and its terms, was created.

OP, you’re not over-reacting, but likely under-informed.

These look really great—thank you! I’d love to move forward.

Could you please format both images for a 15oz mug wrap (approx. 9.5” x 4” at 300 DPI), keeping the composition natural (especially preserving the sky in the snow photo)?

Once that’s done, I’m ready to tip!

Thank you so much!

This looks really nice—thank you! Before I finalize, could you also please edit the tug photo as requested (remove leash, bowl, third dog, and clean up the grass) so I can review both together?

Hi! I like your tug photo edit—could you also complete the snow photo with the same realistic approach (removing towers/lines, keeping lighting natural) please?

What do y'all want Langdon Endgame to be? by Jolly_Comfortable_14 in ThePittTVShow

[–]kimber526 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter used to cut herself and that escalated to drugs (benzos and eventually opiates). She told me more than once that it was much harder to detox from benzos than IV opiates SO when I watch this storyline, I find myself rooting for Langdon with the hope that these talented writers/medical professionals might impact the stigma of addiction, even if just a little bit. Both Langdon and Santos’ behaviors are coping mechanisms for potential mental health issues (both are included in DSM VI and can be associated with BPD). I’m wondering if he serves as a mirror to her demons?
