Was anyone else one of those uber-sensitive kids who ascribed feelings to their toys and stuffed animals? I used to play with all of my toys on a rotation because I was afraid of hurting their feelings. I kind of did that with my clothes too - I would feel guilty if I didn't wear my red shirt for a while because I was…
You know what's even more scary? In Ireland, the government can override your wishes, your family's wishes and your doctors' wishes and keep you on life support if you happen to become brain dead while pregnant.
Hugs to you, so sorry you had to deal with that.
That's just awful. In end of life care, it's supposed to be about the comfort of the patient. Transvaginal ultrasounds are bad enough on a young and healthy person. Doing them on someone that age just seems torturous. I know that when my Busia had vulvodynia a few years ago she had to have a transvaginal ultrasound,…
Which is why I guess I am lucky that my DPOA and my secondary are healthcare workers, know how cruel it is to let someone linger like that, and respect my wishes. They want the same done for them if they are in the same situation. I am a DNR/DNI if I am terminal or if I have minimal brain function. Everyone knows what…
I know! I was just thinking the same thing. A trache is not a good sign. They're really digging this out for her. Even if she did come out of the coma, she's very likely to need full nursing care long term. For me, that would be worse than dying. I've worked in an acquired brain injury unit, full of young people, and…
This will be another Terri Schiavo situation. Which is why it is so very important for everyone, as soon as they are legal adults, to have a living will. Seriously, it may sound morbid and you don't want to think about it because you think you are going to live a long time, but you never know what will happen. I am 28…
so they placed a trach. Next a peg tube (permanent feeding tube in stomach)I'm sure. This is not a good thing at all IMO. Looks like they're going to let her be in a vegetative state indefinitely. Prob will be placed in a long term care facility. This makes me sad, and angry at the same time. I'm sorry BK, but you're…
My mom describes having to take a blood test when she married my dad in 1982, but not when she remarried in 2001. The blood test isn't the new portion, but barring the marriage license if a partner has a contagious STD seems new, yet puritanically old.
My particular issue is business clothes for busty ladies. I have some solidly C-to-D cup boobs, and it seems like *nothing* in the business world is made for this. Button down shirts don't have a chance. Ann Taylor and such are all into the draping stuff that on me makes me look 50 pounds heavier because nothing is…
I'm sorry but I think my Shi Tzu is so much cuter. And probably way more chill. Wookie for the win!
Unpopular opinion but overall I really admire.Madonna. She started in an era, the eighties, in which there were a lot of singers men and wom were overmanaged. She was essentially her own manager, Sure she made mistakes but she kept focused on her career. She shifted when needed and pushed boundaries. Her song Papa…
Here's the biggest lie/deception that I ever perpetuated on my parents ...
Wow! He out romanced my husband. My husband proposed to me while I was in the dentist's chair. I needed a good check-up and a new dentist. This DDS was one of his family's friends. Dr. I'm Never Going Back had my now husband in the exam room while they chatted as I had the man's gorilla knuckles in my mouth.
Ugh. People.
No love for artichoke hearts? That's a much better topping than pineapple and it didn't even make the list.
