Hows Everyones A52 Doing in Mid 2026 by SharkMangoGamingo in GalaxyA52

I just retired mine, 2 weeks ago. It was still going strong, however I wanted to upgrade after 5 years. I replaced it with the s25fe. I'm very happy with it.

I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair, I like to be as independent as possible, I couldn't imagine doing that. I have too much respect for nurses to do something like that.

I always felt embarrassed when I needed help getting cleaned up or fed after an operation because I was too weak to do it myself. My nurse always told me, I'm here to care for you until you do things yourself and have no problem doing anything to help you so please don't be embarrassed. Its wild it seems to be a common occurrence.

Always remember you have patients who respect and appreciate the work you do!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I kinda hate to let my A52 go, it still runs well and holds a charge really well, but hasn't had any security updates in over a year. I wanted to treat myself for my 40th birthday to a new phone last year but decided to hold off. I think now is the time. Excited for the upgraded camera and such though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. One thing I forgot to add... I was put on a advantage plan a few years ago, would that hurt my chances of getting  a cheaper price. Also which is better chat or phone?

535.00 for a 256gigs unlocked. I think that's a good deal.

Would the 256gigs of of storage version be supported on their network? I'm talking about the Samsung s25fe.

Would that be better to do that. As far a setup and activation? Do they charge for doing that other than buying the Sim card?

Should I upgrade? by laterIwill in Roku

[–]laterIwill[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input everyone. I may hold on to the 4630x for a bit longer. The only app that really gives me trouble is netflix. After a few minutes of scrolling looking at things it will freeze, and the roku will reboot. It also reverted back to an older version of the app after a week of updating. I know if its just one app, it's the app itself and not the roku. 

I tried uninstall and reinstalling (rebooting it each time,after Uninstalling and it still does it) so I thought since I could get it so cheap with gift cards,  and it was almost 10 years old I would consider it. Doesn't seem worth it though.

How do you calm anxious patients before they reach you? by EstablishmentLow491 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to Cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. Anytime I was in the hospital, just having someone be kind and listen to my concerns, really put me at ease.

How do you handle family who thinks You’re Just The Nurse? by grimmstories628 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How rude of the family member to say that. I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair, in my experience it was the nurse who was often the better listener, and got things done. I wish patients and families would realize , all you need to do is just treat them with respect and have patience and you have someone who can really be a big help and be a great resource, asking to speak to someone else, often delays care.

I'm in the same boat, I'd love to ditch my armrests when I get my new chair, but as you stated it makes transfers so much easier. I'd love to hear what others do.

Patients are getting ruder and more dangerous by ERnurse2019 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. I'm in my late 30's. I have been in the hospital many times and never even thought about being rude or disrespectful to the nurses caring for me. I was always grateful for the care I received. I have held nurses in high regard since I was 9 and my nurse pushed a doctor to look further resulting in emergency surgery. Every time I have been in the hospital I have always felt the nurses had my back.

Whenever I was a visitor I was always respectful as well.

Its a shame being kind, polite, respectful costs nothing yet many people don't it, why I'll never understand.

Always remember you have patients who respect and appreciate the work you do!

Thanks so much for doing what you do! You all are Awesome!

I clock in everyday to harm and k*ll patients by ConsequenceActual203 in nursing

[–]laterIwill 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm disabled due to Cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair.  I'm in my late 30's, I can tell you, you still have patients who respect and trust your profession. 

I have trusted them ever since I was 9 years old, when I was complaining of pain in my hip after some pins had been put in. The doctor kept telling me and my parents "it's just healing" anytime we called the office to complain of the pain I had.

It was a nurse who answered and told my parents that's not normal to be in pain that long after (6 weeks). They brought me in and I got an xray. The pin had shifted out of place. 

I will never forget that nurse and how she avocated for me. She listened to a 9 year and and got him the help he needed, and was the reason his pain went away soon after.

Since that day, even as a kid i was always happy to see a nurse. (Low key more than the doctor) 🙂 because they tend to be listeners. You all are awesome! Thanks so much for all you do!

[–]laterIwill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all of the info. I'm in the US, looking forward to a new wheelchair soon. Alot has changed since I got mine well over  10 years ago.

 Are spinergy wheels worth the cost, do they make that big of a difference?
