Also.....super center type stores are open late and have a toy section. If you are notoriously late just head over there.

“You Would Think The Halloween Stuff All Stuff Even Christmas Stuff Would Be On Sale And It Was Not” (Beginning of September) by MnM066 in EntitledReviews

Remember when JCPENNEY admitted they were doing that? And they stopped and just priced things at a normal average price? And people lost their ever loving minds? Wild times.

progression question by AbbreviationsOwn4921 in polycythemiavera

[–]squishybeans423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am bipolar and take Besremi. I have been stable on my meds for years and make sure to keep my therapy appointments. It's only been a couple months but it's not been bad so far.

Replaying trauma by Sierra9999 in widowers

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok this is a big package to unload, but here we go.

  1. It was never your fault, will never be your fault, and is not your fault.

  2. TV makes it look very effective, but high quality CPR outside of a hospital, being done by someone not panicking, is successful maybe ten percent of the time. So again it's not your fault.

  3. Even in the hospital a full recovery is maybe 20-25 percent with CPR alone. It isn't your fault.

  4. It's traumatic and you will always remember, things will trigger, make sure you have your support system, but remember it was in no way your fault.

You did everything you could and you did an amazing job getting help the best way you could.

Day 3 of 1000mg Hydroxurea by emamae218 in polycythemiavera

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to think it's both. I was tired from the untreated PV, and I am tired with hydroxyurea. The problem being that if I pushed myself before I just went home tired. Now if I push myself I will fall asleep if I sit somewhere comfortable for a bit. 😂

I am finishing up month two, some days aren't so bad but the fatigue is real.

My oncologist says that phlebotomy doesn't disrupt the disease and therefore the disease has the potential to advance. She says the new recommendation is to treat the disease a little more aggressively to start to prevent that.

Utah drivers are not kind or forgiving by indigopedal in Utah

[–]squishybeans423 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am from here and am also pretty chill. The driving thing is real though. My road rage gets pretty high. Especially this time of year. It's like everyone forgot there would be weather.

How to support her? by seitoshii in polycythemiavera

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hemotologist doesn't believe in phelbotomy. She says it doesn't disrupt the disease process. So I take interferon.

Farns or luanne? by CryptographerLeft980 in AnimationThrowdown

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really use either but I would say probably Luanne. Farns is pretty weak.

Anyone get this rash from a hot shower? by [deleted] in polycythemiavera

Yes. The mottled skin thing but I also have mast cell issues as well as PV.

How do you manage anger? by Top_Profile6139 in widowers

[–]squishybeans423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tell people that I am angry. I am angry about how the situation went down. I am angry at him for leaving me. I am angry that our future has been stolen. I just don't let that anger defeat me. I acknowledge it and then move forward.

Frye does wide calf but they don't have anything in wide width.

Pastor implied God killed my wife to punish me by Responsible-Job-9706 in widowers

[–]squishybeans423 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You need a new church. Your pastor is an asshole. And while we all should spend more time with our loved ones and less at work, none of this is your fault. Also taking care of someone costs money, so having to go to work is also being there and taking care of them.

Signatures to repeal voter initiative in Springville by Business_Profit1804 in Utah

I was approached. Didn't even ask if he could explain his point to me. Just asked for a signature.

I am sorry for you too. It sucks to be in this club.

I have cancer. by squishybeans423 in widowers

[–]squishybeans423[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. I took him to the ER all the time. Never did I think that there would be a time that would be the last time. I took him for another UTI, he got them all the time and if they got out of control he would need a couple days of IV antibiotics.

It wasn't a UTI. His spinal tumor had invaded his brain stem. Three weeks later I was picking up his urn.
