Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Miley is having incontinence in her sleep again
msbelle, have you tried the hormone treatment for that? It has to do with aging and hormone levels affecting her sphincter control. Jetta has that, and I give her one pill a week of something called Diethylstilbestrol.
Consuela, she is on Pronin and it worked for a while.
Oh, I'm sorry it stopped working. When I started Jetta on it, I did two pills per week, and then switched to one. So I wonder if increasing the dosage would help? Dunno. Best of luck with it anyway!
Man, just talked to my little brother, who is a monster athlete: he's 52 but is really an amazing bicyclist and hockey player. And yet just this year the bad air in the Bay Area has triggered an immune reaction that is causing him daily asthma attacks. He's so frustrated.
Steph, I'm so sorry for you and Tim and his family: even the best facilities can fuck up people's care and it's so enraging. Best of luck with that, I hope he can get the treatment he needs.
Teppy, how upsetting and rage-inducing. All possible vibes to your FIL and to Tim and his sibs.
Timelies all!
That is rage making, Steph.
Had to go in to the lab for a short while today.
Mr. S was up before 6 this morning. Ugh.
Teppy, WTF?!? That is so awful. Much ~ma for Tim's dad.
Sending lots and lots of~ma for Tim's dad.
Tim's been at the hospital with his dad all day (and is still there) -- my understanding is that they do think it's a stroke. He was transferred from the ER to a room, and I'm not sure how long they'll need to keep him. I guess that depends on how his recovery goes. Tim said that his left arm is doing better, but he still can't lift his left leg.
I suspect he's going to need more advanced nursing care when he leaves the hospital, and while his current assisted living facility has that capability (they offer different levels of care based on residents' needs), I really don't want him going back to the place that fucking ignored his stroke symptoms and sent him to breakfast instead of the hospital. I have zero faith that a higher level of care would be any better, given that the baseline level of care seems to be fucking negligent.
Holy shit, Steph. I would be livid.
Holy shit, Steph. I would be livid.
Particularly with stroke, there's a small window after symptoms start (I want to say 5 hours?) where administering tPA is extremely helpful, so literally every minute counts. But instead of getting him treatment they fucking put him in a wheelchair and took him to breakfast.
I don't want to jump immediately to yelling "LAWSUIT," but I kind of am. Because that is horrifically negligent.
