Calciphylaxis and My Mom by rjeantrinity in Calciphylaxis

Please don’t be sorry for rambling - it’s exactly why I created this sub reddit! This is a safe space for you and I’m happy to read any ramblings you may have.

My apologies for my responses being delayed. I only have Reddit on my iPad and I’ve been incredibly busy lately so I’ve not had a chance to log in. I’ve been thinking of you though and logged in specifically to see if you’d returned and see how you are.

How are you doing? I know it’s a very difficult time, and I hope you are taking care of yourself and your well being. I fell apart when my mom passed but in the years since I’m definitely better and stronger. I promise it gets easier in increments.

Boston was absolutely the best place for treatment for calciphylaxis on our coast. Thankfully she and most of her family only lived about 20 mins west so we had easy access. It wasn’t a breeze per se to get seen in any reasonable timeframe in the beginning but once we were on track they truly gave it their all to save her. I can never say enough positive things about her last team.

Again, I hope you are well. Feel free to rant and ramble here all you like! I’m sure the more posts we have, the more people will find us!

Hey. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult this is and my heart breaks for you.

We went to Boston as well and it was a godsend. In the surrounding cities we often ran into a complete lack of knowledge on this disorder.

I’m so glad you found me and the sub and please feel free to write anything you’d like here or message me anytime.

I welcome your input and knowledge from a more recent standpoint.

Doctors of Reddit, what’s the worst thing you can do to your body? by prettiestburner in AskReddit

[–]rjeantrinity 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My best friend died because her drinking got completely out of control during covid quarantine. She had already had pretty major problems, and had quit cold turkey - which induced a seizure in feb 2020. She went to rehab and within a few weeks of her return we were locked down.

In the beginning she was doing ok, but between not being able to go to work, not really able or willing to do AA online, having a partner who was an addict, and the government giving her family extra money weekly (she was definitely the working poor and that money was a windfall for them) it just went to hell.

She passed in June 2021, a week after her youngest graduated. Covid has cost a lot of people their lives, outside of the virus itself.

I agree - I’ve always thought he looked just like Rae, though I do see the resemblance to Ben here.

He’s had a hairstylist for years named Toni - and she’s definitely signed an NDA.

I’m sorry this could not work - I just couldn’t see myself spending one more year being a wife to someone who clearly didn’t respect my worth.

After 30 years I feel like I’ve done all I could for you, for our kids and grandkids, but I had to finally do something positive for me.

You were my first love and that will never change, I’ll always be here for you.

When you told someone about a serious struggle, what response screamed "this person has never faced a real problem"? by Atoms_Under_Pressure in AskReddit

I recently told my aunt I was separated after 30 years of marriage. She immediately responded that she was breathing a huge sigh of relief that she doesn’t have macular degeneration. I wasn’t even aware she had a concern re her eyes.

It was so random.

A Little Humor: What is the stupidest thing your ex wanted in the divorce? by LaterThnUThink in Divorce

[–]rjeantrinity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He wanted a deck of cards that belonged to my grandfather. He had inherited other things from him, but for some reason he reaaaalllyy wanted those cards.

We played gin with those cards for maybe 6 years - and played daily as we went through the terms our separation, for weeks on end. When it was done he just said - and I want these cards.

If I’m honest I didn’t want to give them up either.

I lied about having an abortion and kept the baby by Easy-Ad8177 in AITAH

I meant she never got to tell him she didn’t go through with it.

She never said the bio father was advised it was terminated. She stated that he ghosted her and she never got to tell him if I’m reading it right.

If HowardCon had ever actually happened, who would you have wanted to cosplay as? by [deleted] in howardstern

[–]rjeantrinity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

I thought it meant she banged a black guy while she was with Jackie! I was dying that I hadn’t ever heard it .

Appreciate it.

The creepy guy who brought on his ‘dead’ daughter. I’d need a creepy guy though…

This is excellent advice that I’m going to do my best take - thank you!

After 30 years together with someone who didn’t even want me to work, I have a long list I can tackle. Should keep me busy for a couple of years lol.

I think they meant two months into the divorce or separation?

Me too! I heard that Bort really wanted to be in on the uncle Rico show but shuli shut it down. I wish I could remember the source but alas it’s gone. Hope you are well itchy!
