I just don't understand how caregivers in a nursing home wouldn't know such obvious symptoms of a stroke. Strokes and heart attacks have to be relatively common events with an aged, infirm population.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

That really seems negligent. I am so tangential to healthcare, but because if accreditation need to be able to articulate stroke symptoms and treatment on demand.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
That's ...really negligent Steph. I'd be livid too. Best of luck with recovery and finding a different place for him to land that can take real care of him.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Steph that is awful. Love to you snd Tim and his Dad. I too would be screaming lawsuit.
58 degrees in my office this CB morning. Heating systems were supposed to be turned on 10/18, but it seems our boiler had other ideas.
Kinda hope it has given up the ghost and we all get sent home. Would necessitate major mechanical improvements in the building that are long overdue.

Our wings are not tired.
Brrrrr. Yes, you need to be sent home.
Continuing to send ~ma to Tim's dad and hoping he shows improvement today.

Best wishes for Tim's dad ... I can't believe they didn't recognize stroke symptoms or do anything. When I had a stroke, I knew what it was right away and got myself to the hospital ASAP. jeepers
In news that JZ and David will appreciate, I saw a story that there was a fire and everyone - three adsults, two children and one guinea pig - were safely evacuated. The story was illustrated with a photo of the guinea pig.

Save the piggies! Fortunately they're very portable.

Oh no, Tep! Best wishes for Tim's dad and all y'all. That is infuriating that you cannot trust the assisted living facility to actually take care of him

And Beverly - so glad your doctor is taking you seriously! I hope you can find some relief.

So much to catch up on.
Steph, livid on Tim's dad's behalf and the whole family. Jesus. Who doesn't think stroke when you see that? Completely untrained, non-healthcare adjacent people would still think, "Stroke," and call a fucking ambulance.
Yay for good doctors, and bringing people on board, finally, and cute guinea pigs, and vacations, and onerous tasking, and vaccinations, and boosters. Wishing feeling better to those in need of that, from stomach bugs to adjusting to new teachers, if only for a bit, and new nannies when that happens.
Tom, echoing all of what people have said, most recently, Jesse. Thinking a thousand good thoughts for you. At least a thousand.
Austin conference was great. Met neat people. Have no idea what Austin is like other than the Fairmont and the airport,, both of which were fine. Totally smooth travels. No complaints and glad to be home. We had a super quiet, no other people weekend, which was much needed and enjoyed.
Oh! Sorry to disappoint, but I did not go to the ecstatic dance and magic treats party. I was so exhausted by Wedneaday night, there was just no way. All I managed was ecstatically flopping onto the bed and the magic of room service.
