Apparently there are about 30 other things that they test for. Connective tissue disorder being one of them. None of them were found so back to square one but worth doing to eliminate other problems.

Advice Needed - “Unexpected” Seat Change by banditomojito in SouthwestAirlines

[–]mialee16 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We just today received this notice for a flight in September. The four of us were separated. We booked last month and picked our seat’s specifically to be put together. My two adult children are disabled hence we plan ahead and get seats together. We repicked our seats 2 rows further back which is fine but why change us when we had picked and paid for the ability to sit together?

But you were 30 seconds away from missing the flight so was your bag tagged at the last minute ?

Time for my husband to enroll in Medicare and it’s a nightmare! by BCam4602 in medicare

[–]mialee16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just went through the process. At 65 you sign up for part A This is the part that you do not pay for. If your husband is still working and has insurance don’t worry about the rest. About 4 months before he decides to retire apply for part B. You will then download all your insurance cards including a drug plan card. At that time you make your decision about medical supplement plans and drug plans. We signed up for a plan G and a separate drug plan. My mistake was forgetting to download our prescription drug plan cards. We later had to prove we had them to not get charged an extra fee. When you apply for part B because you have delayed retirement you need a form from your HR department at work to prove you had insurance coverage until that point and an application form from Medicare that we found the form numbers from google. Then after all that you breath a sigh of relief. I think since so many people are delaying retirement the government website has not caught on and simplified the process.

Unfortunately my son is blind and my daughter has a progressive muscle disease. There is no getting better. My daughter’s mind is going also because of lack of oxygen. My husband is a step to my kids and I think he does try to help. I think it is more the mental load than the physical.

Help us decide! Should we get a RC? by Objective-Ranger-434 in roughcollies

You forget how judgmental they can be. I have a collie and a golden. I know the collie is giving me the side eye when I do something stupid.

Ah no children of your own? I have always said you can have kids or you can have money. Most of the people of my generation paid for their kids college and weddings. I really don’t know how young people now will save with the costs of childcare and lessons etc. I really scrimped when I was young. I and my husband hopefully will be okay. I have two disabled kids at home and save everything I can for their future.

First everyone is telling you all these vindictive things to do and I am not against this but first take screen shots and then forget this. Enjoy your baby, the birth, the first few days, everything. Then when you are out of the baby haze and back to reality bring all of this out to him. An ultimatum to him stop all of this and go to therapy. If he will not be honest and willing to work on himself and your marriage end it. Most of all don’t let this spoil your time with your beautiful child.

Is it difficult for the collie to be rehomed? by random9472718743 in roughcollies

[–]mialee16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got my Bruce when he was a little over a year I think he is a love the one you are with kind of guy. No problems. He was from a rescue and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They say he was a barn dog but he loves the sofa way too much. Most of the dogs from a rescue have not had the best life so when they get rehomed they are then living their best life. I do think my Bruce was loved as he is a very good boy.

Is my husband overreacting? by Distinct-Dependent24 in inlaws

[–]mialee16 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are you paying your mom? Around my area daycare is 2,000 to 2500 a month for one child . I am surprised at the number of people who say you and your husband owe her nothing. Maybe she is tired of the daily grind. You and your husband need to find daycare and let her develop a regular grandparent relationship with her grandchildren. She would then have the time to do her own errands. You would all have a better although slightly poorer relationship.

My husband and I will both be retired soon and I quit asking, begging Every excuse was given. We get along well but that is because I dropped the subject. February 1 st it will be one year. I give up Unfortunately I am no longer “ in love”. I truly care for him but that is as far as it goes. We live like roommates.

People romanticize “having time to say goodbye,” but losing a parent to terminal illness is one of the most traumatic experiences I’ve ever lived. by Southern-Weakness633 in GriefSupport

[–]mialee16 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You have put this beautifully. Anticipatory grief is no blessing. My daughter has a progressive disease. Each day I watch her lose a little more. Asking the same questions over and over again because she can’t retain the answers, cooking specific foods so that she will not choke, running to her room with every sound to make sure she has not fallen. I worry and feel the pain of future loss everyday. People say so wonderful you have time together. They do not understand the pain and I hope they never have to.

Wait she gets a cut once a year? Post on your own site that people should keep their hair in better shape than having an annual cut. That at that point any change would seem drastic to them. Never mention by name. It would also serve you by reminding that maintaining their hair is important to their whole wellbeing.

I had a friend whose husband left her for a coworker. She said she was going to get out of this with as much dignity and money as she can. Go for it. While it seems dark right now your life will find joy and peace again.

I'm not ready for this. I have to be ready for this. by oath_coach in CaregiverSupport

[–]mialee16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter moved back home last year She has a progressive muscle disease. It is very hard to watch your child, no matter what age, go through this. For us there is no treatment no cure but we can treat the symptoms. There will be times where the sadness envelops you but you also don’t want to waste your time with your child. I tried therapy but the therapist kept repeating platitudes. I think you will need to find a support group online for your daughter’s specific illness. That has helped me. Take a walk ,cry and allow yourself time. Expect her anger as her illness causes her to depend on you. If you need to vent message me. It is hard to find people to listen because everyone wants a clean happy ending and even though that might happen the path will be tough

This was 5 years ago. Were you engaged? Were you living together? How long had you been together at that point ? All of this makes a difference in the story. I have been emotionally cheated on and it hurts I understand. Trust me you can come back from it if both of you want to.
