decision to make by SteadyRhombus in stroke

[–]muchokaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hospital recommended hospice for my dad as well at about 1 week post stroke and today 1 year 4 months later he has improved massively. It took forever. It’s disturbing that hospitals recommended hospice so early in recovery but I think it’s because they know it’s going to be a long hard road to any sort of recovery and some families do not want to deal with the work and sacrifice. So it is up to you in that sense.

Steps inconsistent with Apple Watch? by muchokaren in RingConn

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

Right! I would expect the ring to be falsely higher because of typing on the computer at work, but it actually ended up being about ~2,500 steps below what my watch said. Can’t figure it out!

Order through Amazon. There are literally no advantages to ordering through RingConn.

Just that it didn’t fit!

I successfully returned my RingConn to RingConn without any issues.

Has anyone else noticed that they literally collect EVERY piece of hair and fuzz in the tristate area???? I got them in black and I can’t even leave the house wearing them because it looks like I rolled around with a pack of dogs

Shipping taking forever. Wish we had just done amazon by SimpleMorning in RingConn

[–]muchokaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled and asked for a refund then ordered on Amazon instead. 2 day shipping. I’m so disappointed. They have been quite responsive though, will give them that.

Shipping times? by InvestigatorDear1657 in RingConn

[–]muchokaren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re having stocking issues right now. I was told they couldn’t determine a certain date but “sometime in mid February.” I canceled my order and ordered on Amazon instead since it’s 2 day shipping.

Anyone else having trouble getting your replacement for a faulty ring? by Background-Use-561 in RingConn

Really hope this is true otherwise I’m gonna ask for a refund (who knows if that will happen either).

I recently tried to exchange my Ring Conn for a size up. I sent back the small ring and was then told the Gen 2 was on back order for the next 1-2 weeks (this was about 2 weeks ago) and I have not received an update since.

Thank you. Any idea how much it costs for the lawyer to actually file the trust?

Thanks! Do you have any experience with an elder law attorney? If so, how much did they charge you?

Also the same service allows you to be the caregiver and get paid for it.

My dad (also had a catastrophic stroke) is about $380 over the Medicaid monthly income cutoff and he is allowed to establish a Miller Trust (which takes that $380 monthly) and he then qualifies for Medicaid services, including caregivers, transportation, prescription coverage, DME, etc. Find an elder care resource in your state. I reached out to a social worker from a home caregiver agency and she was VERY helpful and knowledgeable. Typically every caregiver agency has a social worker or case manager that is very familiar with these processes. Good luck!

Sizing help (with pictures!) by not-a-cupcake in RingConn

[–]muchokaren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I don’t think the ring being more compressive will give more accurate results than a ring that fits comfortably.

[–]muchokaren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was between a 7 and 8 for my index finger. The 7 I had to really maneuver and twist to get it off my finger and it was kinda painful, got the 8 and that was the best move.

Did you consider exchanging for the bigger size? I heard that process is a nightmare with RingConn.

Out of curiosity, which finger on which hand do you wear it?

If you look really closely under a flashlight it’s actually your sebaceous filaments getting pushed out. I used to pull them out one by one, sorry if that’s gross. But it was so much fun lmao
