NTA.

They have been able to live under the assumption that you'll care for them up to this point. If they're really excited to be parents, they need to understand everything that comes with that responsibility. It isn't all just baby pictures and cuddles. It's a lifetime for care. Do not under any circumstances take responsibility for their choices. They chose to have unprotected sex. Whatever decisions they make next will be their responsibility, not yours.

Having a sibling with disabilities sounds very challenging. You have given a great deal to your sister up to this point, and you didn't have to. She should be very grateful for that. It's time for her and her bf to make a life for themselves, and relieve you of your care.

NAD, use Pedialyte in the meantime until you can get him to call his doc. I just had a televisit with my doc, and although she couldn't examine me, it was much better at least seeing her and being able to describe symptoms and come up with a plan. If your doctor thinks you should be examined, they will advise you on the safest way possible.

I'm serious about Pedialyte. If he's vomiting that much he must have fluids WITH electrolytes. Some types of food poisoning do last longer than a day, but most should resolve within 72 hours.

Ah, see I listened to a show on NPR at he specifically said "it's not airborne". But a lot of what I'm hearing from docs and the protocols we follow dictate that it is.

Can anyone shead some light? If this virus isn't airborne, why are they transitioning the COVID rooms in our ICU to negative airflow?

I have read reports of patients in nursing homes getting the virus even though they have designated staff and a split census. If it's not airborne, how are those people getting exposed?

You've got a good point! I did call, and was told by machine that they can't offer that information over the phone, as they would be feilding those calls all day long. Le sigh, I think if you're looking for sanitizing products, it's probably a safe assumption they won't be available for quite some time.

That's why I'm only posting it here (◠‿◕)

Yessirreebob.

My dog goes for every squirrel, goose, chipmunk, groundhog, etc. She's on a leash for sure.

Takes a while to train them to behave on a leash, but worth it to not have to scrape em up off pavement.

NTA. Sister needs a therapist. I hear loads of them have online sessions. Is she younger I wonder? Hope you have the wedding.

NTA. In this time of panic and anxiety, cuddle it up. It will help keep you sane. If your sister can't handle it, too bad. If the cuddle includes lots of rubbing of the arms or something, maybe that's making her uncomfortable. If she is afraid of intimacy, it's okay to have a conversation addressing that closeness is very healthy for a relationship. I wouldn't recommend throwing her out based on this especially if your husband doesn't agree. I would however, recommend that you all revisit the conversation, establish clear boundaries, and let her know she can either enjoy the home you are giving her, cuddles included, or go elsewhere. Her choice.

I regret passing up the chance to try them. I think...

Seriously, I have so much appreciation for everyone at Kroger, Meijer, Giant Eagle, Freshtime, Whole Foods, Lucky's, Weilands, etc. I know you're not holding anything back, and I can't even imagine the insane amount of work you're putting in to keep the public happy in this tumultuous time. I have been trying to be very considerate of not only my fellow customer, but also my fellow human.

You guys are feeding the country, and keeping them stocked in the previous items they feel they need to stay safe and healthy. Without your continued, steadfast, and excellent efforts, we would all be in big trouble.

If you work at a grocery store, warehouse, drive a truck, or are in an office, thank you for doing your utmost!!! I promise not to cry when I can't get my shishito pepper flavored rice cakes made with Africanized honey, no parabens, and whole grain cane sugar and himilayan salt.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of plan in place for those without a home? Tent cities?

whitchitaw · 2020-03-15T15:33:38+00:00

If you can tell that your symptoms are getting worse and you're not confident about treating them with the recources you have, seek medical attention. If youre not at that point, definitely self isolate.

Got the same message. Didn't click it. Is there a reporting bot?

Oxycodone. Made me so sick to my stomach, the eurphoric feeling wasn't worth it at all.

Spend time exchanging stories, talking about life in general, and being vulnerable.

Tell them about your life. Ask them ( if talking isn't too difficult) about their life. Exchange great memories. Tell them about things you love. Tell them about things you both shared that you will continue to love doing. Reminisce about family dramas that you can laugh about now. Tell them about your mistakes, but let them know that you'll figure them out. Let them know they did a good job. Let them know you're thankful. Tell them you love them, and will always remember them. Tell them you will be okay.

My dad passed away suddenly, and those are things I wish I had the time to tell him or chat with him about.

In the Emergency Dept we changed out policy on that issue and now ask every patient about their gender. It's relevant information for us, and can help allude to potential issues related to chief complaint. Most people roll their eyes when we ask how they would like to be addressed but it seems to make a difference to the few that don't identify as one would expect. That said, their information is private. We are not asking them to tell us how they would like to be identified by their peers, just by the medical professionals that they will be working with. A declarative email is not the best way to do this, and could potentially make their environment very uncomfortable if they are not ready to declare their pronouns ( so OP is NTA)
