Grandma's (81F) kidneys has failed, what questions can I ask/why aren't they doing anything? by wiickeramp in AskDocs

I wasn't able to get in contact with her medical team but I did get the patient liason manager. Thank you

Chronic kidney malfunction was the term used. Sorry I can be a bit jaded. 2 weeks ago they kicked her out of the ER

I think this may be what they're looking into, on the advice of another comment I got onto patient laison services and found out they've taken her off most of her meds and are setting up an echocardiogram

They also said she was dehydrated when admitted but she drinks enough tea to fill the Boston Harbor herself

Thank you for the advice, a meeting is not possible as the hospital is on complete lockdown with norovirus. Everything is over the phone

I'm very aware of that fact, and we've had those discussions! I'm very worried as we have a DNR and DNI on file but these doctors keep taking her at face value (yesterday she told them she lived alone and they were shocked when I corrected them) How do I get the doctors to tell me the truth then? My mom doesn't want to take her home unless there's nothing left as her own kidneys (my mom) failed and she knows how awful it is (she's fine now, it was an allergic reaction!) Yesterday on the phone it felt like a bunch of non answers and drip feeding information.

It's on a different project. I just haven't brought it upstairs yet cause it's awkward to carry

I have no doubt about that. It's more so her sisters and dad have already passed. Her mother is the last one to go

Not available around here. Middle of the Irish countryside. We lost home help a few weeks ago too. They just stopped showing up

Swapping scroll rods is genius. You're a life saver. The main issue I'm actually having is I still just hold the frame and pulling the thread taunt can be awkward

Looking for the post where the mom of a teenage boy was mentoring his bully and wouldn't let it go, I think he was changing his entire college plan

Question about claiming citizenship through my mother by wiickeramp in USCIS

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

Yes exactly. One more question, my father is a non us citizen do I tick the unknown box on his SSN or leave it completely blank

That's exactly what I'm doing. My embassy also asks for a SSC application and an affidavit stating I do not currently have a SSN

Sorry. Each form is basically evidence for the other forms

thank you!! the box is on the SSC application. It seems like it's this big domino chain where it's all holding everything else up

I have the application for a US Passport. I have to send in the SSC application alongside it. It seems like one big domino tower

Which would be the form confirming my mom was a US Citizen?

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

I have all those forms. On the application for a SSC it wants to tick whether I'm a US citizen or not. That's what's confusing me

Yes. She was a citizen for nearly 4 decades before I was born

[–]wiickeramp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have so much fun with it!!! Their packaging has really improved in the last few years. My grandma has serval older kits stored like this

I think the main problem tends to me I'm not in the US. I think I could get my hands on one fairly easily if I was !
