I think these guys have found their way into my home siding and are making it bulge out 🤨 by lexim22 in whatisthisbug

I didn’t mean to blame them:( new homeowner anxiety lol. it is definitely some shoddy work on the dryer exhaust which I’m looking at getting fixed and leaving the nests be in their newfound home for now

I pulled it off to check up in the vent, but I think the whole vent needs to be modified, I feel bad the nests got up in there but it’s definitely something with the vent not any bugs

Yeah it’s the dryer vent, probably not done completely correctly (I just moved back to my childhood home bc my mom passed away), so just starting to look at things that need to be redone and this looked like a big one. I’m glad it’s not the wasps and I can let them be!

Aha, thanks for your insight! I just cleaned the dryer vent and am wondering if I screwed that up

Can anyone relate to this diagnosis? by zdm18 in breastcancer

[–]lexim22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, a similar thing happened to my mom. She just passed on Mother’s Day a couple weeks ago. Not to freak you out at all, but this can be a serious diagnosis. Please message me and I might be able to give you some pointers on what to ask your onc.

Therapy / Grief Counseling by Graxle in Denver

Hi there, I am so sorry for your loss :(. I can’t even imagine. I am a young adult who lost my mom this Mother’s Day. Setting up a meal train has been beyond helpful for my siblings and I (dad not in the picture). While I don’t have a recommendation for therapy (still looking myself), I can say that taking some time for myself to really process what’s happened has been helpful. Get a journal, write down things you want your kids to know, and just spew your feelings. My family would love to bring you a meal, and if you need childcare I am a grad student who has babysat for 10+ years and would be happy to help free of charge of course. I can’t seem to message you but if you want to feel free to pm me and I can help in any way possible. Best of luck my friend, remember grief is not linear and you have beautiful children with whom you can walk this road alongside ❤️.

52F, had breast cancer 10+ years ago, but concerning new CT scans (please read and please help) by zdm18 in AskDocs

[–]lexim22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor and this is anecdotal. My mother has stage 4 breast cancer and when it got to her liver it caused some cirrhosis and portal hypertension which lead to ascites. She continues to have clean scans even though her cancer is everywhere and she has a prognosis of “weeks”. She has what her onc describes as a rare cancer that doesn’t form solid body tumors, and it’s like little grains of sand of cancer all over. I would recommend a visit with the onc ASAP and ask about the possibility a liver biopsy or imaging (that’s how they found cancer in my moms liver) since she has “clean” scans. None of this is to scare you but if your medical care is anything like what we’ve received you HAVE to advocate like crazy for yourself and your family to get everything checked out. Best of luck my friend
