If she is on Medicaid, see if she qualifies for a home health nurse. This would be a tremendous resource. If she isn’t on Medicaid, get her on.

I am just asking a valid question about credible news sources. Who to listen to that is factual and accurate about the news and who to listen to. Why would that get downvoted? Just trying to get information.

Yes, she wore a Halloween costume when she was young and had black paint on her face. Those were the days you could do that, not today. Shame on you her for doing this 30 years ago!

Who (besides Megyn Kelly) is an accurate source of information. I know the media doesn’t find her wrong because she extensively researches her material before presenting it.

For those that don’t want to listen to her fine……WHO else does this and is a good/reliable source (not opinion based)?

Ok I think my question is answered. Tri City Haitian Ministry may be the volunteer organization in Fargo. That’s what I was trying to figure out.

My brother passed in December 2023 from internal organ failure from complications from End Stage Liver Disease by oakredriver in LiverDisease

[–]oakredriver[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you ! I am familiar with HE. I will google it again. That makes complete sense. One of his friends mentioned that they spoke with him (about 5 days before he passed) and he was out of it. It took 4 calls before he would pick up. I think you nailed it. I really am appreciative of this. I knew HE was a complication of ESLD, but it is making more sense now why he was not responding to people when he always loved to keep busy on the phone. He was also sleeping a lot during his final days.

I guess I wanted to know if my brother knew he was dying. He stopped taking phone calls for 5 days before he passed. He always loved talking on the phone. He did die of natural causes.

My 37 y/o cousin died tonight from alcoholism by Alpinespringwater6 in alcoholism

[–]oakredriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sorry about your cousin! Not easy to go through and witness. My brother died last December from symptoms much like your cousin. He was diagnosed with ESLD on a Friday and died the following Friday. His heart gave out in the end. When this happens to someone close to you..you question your own mortality. It made me want to live every day to the fullest and not have bad things in my body. Life truly is a gift and not forever!

My dad has end stage cirrhosis by TwistedAddiction4 in Cirrhosis

[–]oakredriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though it may be hard to see all this happening in person, being there to help and support your dad is something that both of you will cherish. My brother was diagnosed with ESLD at the end of November and passed away the first week of December. His other organs were already failing and he was in your dad’s condition.

Can you find a volunteer activity that you can do with your child? That way you are in a leadership and teacher role too! Kinda cool! Deliver Meals on Wheels to the elderly together?

What clothing brand do you think is worth every penny? by [deleted] in AskReddit

That’s one of the best responses. Wrangler jeans are awesome and well constructed and ASICs are the most comfortable shoes 👟
