If he’d been allowed in they would have taken his vitals and seen that he was at risk for a cardiac event. EMTs could have been on the scene faster or he could have made it to a hospital.

Curing and treating are two completely different things. You can’t cure it, but you sure as hell can treat the complications from it. There’s no ability to say whether he would have lived or not, but they sure as hell could have treated sepsis if that was the case. 

Oh no shade against Panera, I personally like them. But I know they aren’t the pinnacle. But the only shop around here was such a terrible bagel that it made store bought packaged taste good. 

Yes absolutely. I made bagels yesterday for the first time. Needs a bit of tweaking, but as someone who lives in a small mountain town where I’d kill for even a bagel from Panera, I was in heaven. 

This is the dumbest part of the run on wipes. DPW regulations say 2 mins of WET surface for disinfecting. Wet the whole time. 

It’s just so terrifying. All the best to you. 

Yea he was working a little too hard there. That’s not helping anyone and I doubt he’s the calming presence his wife needs if that’s his reaction. 

Yea no. No no no. 

Mortality? Probably not. But there are tons of studies on how the presence of a partner can reduce anxiety. And lots of studies about how anxiety can hinder childbirth. And about how having an advocate can reduce the use of unnecessary measures that introduce other complications. It’s a difficult thing to prove and I…

Well I learned I was completely wrong about pto needing to be paid out. My husband set me straight on that and it’s mind boggling to me that it’s okay. Contract or not, any place can do it. 

You misunderstood. Treating their performers like this is the bullshit. The lame excuse for why they shouldn’t get paid out is bs.

100% bullshit. My husband works for a casino that has unfortunately had to lay off all but 30 some employees. They’re giving everyone 1 paid week and allowing everyone to use their remaining pto. Everyone retains healthcare that doesn’t get billed till they resume work. It’s not ideal but what can they do? If indeed…

After a year and a half, an ectopic, and a miscarriage I’m finally (so far) successfully pregnant. What terrifies me is the complete lack of knowledge about if it could effect early pregnancy, since not a whole lot is formed for me yet. I’m doing my best to not be stressed but it’s hard because I’m homeschooling my 5…

Best wishes for an easy and safe delivery!

Oh how heart breaking. I’m sorry you have to be separated at this time. It’s been clear through these weeks how much you’ve put in and how much love you have. 

I’ve finally decided to try out a homemade cinnamon bun recipe tomorrow. I’m 7 weeks pregnant and facing two week homeschooling for my kindergartener. My husband and I cleaned literally all of the house today so that a week with everyone home all the time can involve less chores. I feel like we all deserve a tasty rewa…

She is a trans woman.

Yup. Patti LaBelle, seller of pies, going home the week before thanksgiving really cemented that for me.

This is the route I went too

So glad to hear that everything’s alright and that you didn’t have to worry long. I’ve been there and it’s so scary.
