Hey guys! Here’s your scheduled Catalina update: she’s doing great, actually! In the past few weeks she’s come down to 0,5 liters of oxygen (22% as opposed to the 21% we all breathe) and doing great on it even when sleeping. I think she may be off supplemental oxygen within 2 months, which YAY, but it doesn’t mean…
Man, I’m really upset that I missed the butthole article the first time around. It was hilarious. (Also yes, I know mine is being stared at every time we have sex)
There was an episode of Say Yes to the Dress where the bride was persuaded to add fabric to the see-through area, then after fitting she went back to the original. I think she was a lawyer or something, but her whole look was super tacky.
My migraines went away during pregnancy, which was cool (then they came back as I was developing pre-eclampsia but it was temporary), and after that I never restarted birth control pills because I felt better. I still get migraines but waaaay less often, like maybe a bad one once or twice a month! It’s a small upside…
I tried Topamax for migraines and it worked for that, but I started crying a LOT on about day three, and then I started getting fully formed, super concrete plans to kill myself. I had to go off it, but I’d rather deal with the migraines than awful suicidal ideation. :(
It’s the best!!
150mg Bupropion and 100mg lamotrigine (Lamictal) daily. Pretty good combination and it’s seen me through some rough stuff. My current depression is a little less manageable now so I will be upping my bupropion to 300 mg in about a week or so, once my blood pressure is under control. I also hope it kicks in some…
The science doesn’t seem to be settled around it, as I’ve read evidence for and against it. I still would like to hear a specialist opinion.
I’ve actually read back on them and I gotta say, they’re very good recaps! I have a Facebook page for Catalina but it’s in Spanish and I started it mid-July, so these posts have the whole story.
Everyone tells us it’d be so much easier! To be honest, I mainly object to it for financial reasons - her home care is covered by our insurance BUT coverage stops if she has to check into a hospital for any reason (including g-tube placement) and then we’d have to reapply and maybe wait 1-2 weeks until it’s approved…
I had this plan to raise her bilingual and her neonatologist told me it could cause even further language delays! I’m sure she’ll get there on time but I was so excited to have her learn English, too, and now I want to ask a speech therapist about it. I still think if anything she would have a stronger language…
Therapy and self-destructive behavior (nothing too dangerous but like binge eating and smoking). I don’t recommend the second part, but therapy helps. Also just letting yourself feel the pain until it passes. Hold on tight, you can do this!
Stalk him on Facebook or Twitter until you find some stupid ass opinion he’s posted. There, crush gone!
Can you save it for a future guest room or something? I’d save it.
Hey, this sucks and I’m sorry. I’m sending you a big hug. Is it possible for you to eat ALL THE YUMMY THINGS while in recovery? I used to be on this medication that made me lose like a pound a day and I seized the opportunity to eat lots of sweets and normal Coke and pizza and pasta. I was still depressed but the food…
Catalina has been doing great! We went for some checkups last week and all things considered she’s meeting milestones in acceptable times. We confirmed she has perfectly normal hearing, which is awesome, and now I know she just likes to ignore us!
I am half a world away and probably will watch alone, too, but we can be alone together in spirit :)
Jessamina seems unhinged. I don’t even have this kind of strong feelings about, idk murder or some shit. Thank you for bringing reason to the thread!
Do you seriously think dogs are the same as children? I think you lost it a loooong time ago in this discussion. Dogs are not people. They should be looked after responsibly, yes, but they are not now, not ever, the same as a human child.
I woke up at 5 am to watch William’s wedding. I’ll do it again for Harry.
