TLDR; Respite care may turn in to permanent move for grandma with Dementia and other illnesses. Feeling guilty and scared.
I've posted in here a lot, I appreciate all the help. I'm a 28 year old caring for my 86 year old grandma. But my cousin (Grandma's POA) and I are talking more seriously about moving my Grandma from my home to a nearby facility. I'm scared, and I'm ashamed that I can't keep up with her needs anymore. Anytime I think of moving her, I feel such guilt. It's becoming more real that she won't be in my home anymore, and that I'll have to trust someone else to meet her needs. I'm also scared that moving her, I'll be responsible for her faster deterioration in a facility.
Last October she was hospitalized for a severe dementia episode with COVID causing an intense delirium. She attempted to harm herself, and landed in the hospital. Once she got on the right meds, she didnt want to harm herself anymore, but was still weak. So the hospital discharged her to a nursing home for rehabilitation. She didn't do well there at all. She slept all the time, refused meds, refused PT, and wouldn't participate in any of the activities they did. So when she stopped making progress, her insurance stopped paying. We had no choice but to move her out, and I was the only one to step up for her care.
Shortly after moving in with me, she started being up longer and cooperating with meds but still refused PT. She's been with me for 6 months now, and she's had a lot of changes in health. She now has Congestive Heart Failure, Kidney disease, and her dementia. Her mobility has declined due to Osteoarthritis- she is now almost completely reliant on her wheelchair rather than the walker she used before. I have no assistance from family, no nursing assistance, or respite care. My husband works 12 hour days, night shifts and he sleeps most of the day, so he doesn't help. I work from home M-F 9-6. So I'm having to provide care while juggling my job. I have asked over and over for Hospice or palliative care, but her doctors "don't think she's there yet".
She now needs round the clock supervision, help with toileting, showering, Dressing, medications, wound care, daily weigh-ins for CHF and close monitoring for symptoms, lift assistance (only from her living room chair), medications, etc.
Since I haven't had more than a few hours out of the house in 6 months, we decided to book a week of respite care to go camping. My cousin and I are going to see how my grandma does during her one week stay at the facility, to see how she reacts to the possibility of a permanent move. I'm really scared, but also feel some hope that she may do well.

I found out I was pregnant last Sunday and knew I had to get an abortion as I know I am not financially or mentally stable enough to be a mother just yet. Luckily I’m in Canada so abortion isn’t something hard to get. On the 7th I had a meeting at the hospital to discuss the difference in medical vs surgical abortion and decided to stick with surgical as it seemed like it would be less traumatizing for me personally. The nurse thankfully was very knowledgeable and was very supportive in whatever I wanted to do. I know passing it on my own would cause me to freak out in comparison to getting the vacuum. I booked my procedure for the 20th. I’m terrified of the upcoming procedure and even though they explained what would happen I’m still scared of the unknown since this is such a new experience to me. I will be getting the sedation that will be offered which the nurse said would help ease my anxiety, but nonetheless it’s still a lot to prepare for mentally. I wanted to share my thoughts as I’ve never had an abortion and it’s a lot for me to process. In addition I am making sure I go back on birth control afterwards as I don’t want to go through this again until I’m ready to actually have a baby. I was just wondering if anyone who has done the surgical abortion and has had a positive experience or found it less terrifying than what they thought it would be could maybe talk about it, if not that’s totally cool too. But I think hearing other peoples stories could help me in feeling more okay with everything. Thank you.

Hey guys, here are some recent job openings in mi. Feel free to comment here or send me a private message if you have any questions, I'm at the community's disposal! If you encounter any problems with any of these job openings please let me know that I will modify the table accordingly. Thanks!

My best friend (30f) of about 3yrs is bipolar. It has been an almost constant struggle for her as long as I've known her.
She seems to have a cycle where she will be really really bad, get established or re-established with a doctor, follow through on the docs orders (taking her medication, therapy, daily routine and sleep schedule) and then slowly get better.
Then as a few months of stability fly by, she stops going to therapy (because she no longer feels she is getting anything out of it), she gets lax on her routines and she starts staying up later and later at night.
Before you know it, she's stopped taking her medications because she feels she's doing so well that she doesn't need it anymore. She convinces herself that she isn't actually bipolar.
No matter how much I try to reason with her, she doesn't see that the medication is WHY she's doing so well.
It seems to happen at the beginning of summer every year, and by September, she's being hospitalized so she doesn't kill herself the second shes left alone.
Yesterday she told me that she feels her bipolar disorder has been "cured" and she doesn't want to take her meds anymore. I just don't know what to say or do to keep this girl on her meds.
Please help.

My son who is 7 years old and he has ASD and clearly exhibits the signs of ADHD. I talked to a specialist at the University hospital and they mentioned putting my son on medication to help him focus. I don't know why, but it makes me feel incredibly sad. For starters, I don't like the idea of having him take medication to change who he is to accommodate other people, but they told me that it will help him. I was on Ritalin as a child and it made me feel sick all day and did nothing to help me stay focused.
I know he has anxiety and that was another option and I am open to it, but only if he receives therapy to also help manage his anxiety.
Also, I am not opposed to medication, but wanted my son to come to me and tell me that he wants medication. The specialist said that almost never happens unless they're a teen. Maybe I'm weird for thinking that my son would be able to express that to me. I was thinking middle school might be a better time to take medication.
Am I weird to feel this way about the medication? Why are other people so happy to get their kids on medication?
I also have a family history of drug abuse, so I'm worried about my son having addictions in the future.
Also, my son is starting to experience bullying. At this point it's just kids telling him to go away in a very mean way. I saw it first hand. My visceral reaction was to get angry and say something to the kid, but I couldn't because it was during a school event. I don't want to exacerbate the situation, but I can't help but to feel angry that kids are being mean to him. Because it's so hard for him to defend himself... I really just want to lash out at the kids which is insane. How did your parents handle this?
I feel like getting angry is not going to help my child at all. If anything it will give him anxiety.

My sisters and brothers in Christ, I am sharing this novena prayer with you all as I just completed its 9th day recently and now began its first day. I invite you all to join me for any burdens, worries, and/or fears, that you want to give to Jesus.
I am also sharing this to give testimony to a recent blessing Jesus has done for my family. My Uncle has been sick for some time with medical conditions. Unfortunately due to stress and a myriad of other factors, he wound up in the emergency room. My family was in extreme distress and the medical report was not looking good at all. We were afraid he may have turned for the worst and would not bounce back! However, by the grace of God through our faith, I thank Jesus that he was able to quickly leave the hospital healthier. This occurred just before the 9th day of this novena, praise God! Now I begin this prayer again in hopes that my uncle’s health will improve ten fold and better than ever before, along with the rest of his immediate family to be safe.
Please join me in this 9 day novena. Don’t lose faith, have faith like a child! And please share if this resonates with you. God bless.

Firstly here's the full document.
It was written by the NHS Confederation along with the LGBT Foundation.
The NHS Confederation is here. They're basically an advisory body/kindof support network. They have no legal authority and none of this guidance is binding in anyway. The LGBT Foundation is LGBT Foundation is a national charity delivering advice, support and information services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities.
The main controversy comes from this page.
It essentially states that you can request same sex care but the request will have to be valid (i.e. not just bigotry) and that ultimately the staff's comfort has to come first. The rest of the drama is summed up below.

The 97-page guide also includes a long lists of recommendations for hospitals and clinics to be more inclusive, such as flying the pride flag in offices, making staff wear rainbow badges and celebrating diversity dates in the calendar.
HR managers are told to list their pronouns in job adverts, relax employment experience requirements in case trans people are put off applying and give applicants private changing rooms before interviews.
In lengthy advice on pronouns, NHS staff are told to use them whenever they introduce themselves - and are assured that even Shakespeare used they/them to refer to individuals.
A section on language meanwhile says that the phrase ‘biologically male’ is now considered offensive or derogatory, while it is wrong to say someone ‘identifies as’ a particular gender because it implies it is their choice ‘rather than an inherent reality’

The Head of the NHS Confederation responded below:

NHS Confederation chief executive Matthew Taylor said: ‘This is a guide for our members on how they can be effective and active allies to their trans and nonbinary staff. It does not constitute formal policy for the NHS.
‘Based on independent interpretations of equalities legislation and extensive engagement with our partners, the guide advises that if a patient requests to be seen by a NHS staff member with or without a particular protected characteristic, the healthcare provider would not be required under this or other legislation to comply with that.
‘The exemption to that would be unless there would be a clinical need or benefit to do so, including around supporting the patient’s psychological wellbeing.
'As the guide says, there are likely to be extremely few circumstances in which this would happen and decisions would always be made on a case-by-case basis.’
He added: ‘We understand that this is a contested area, which is why we carried out an independent procurement process for an expert body to carry out this work on our behalf for our members – we are grateful to the LGBT Foundation for doing this and for the responses we have received so far from our members and partners.’

I think there's definitely bits of this that people will find controversial but if you look at it from the point of view that this is just an LGBT's charities views on how to make work more confortable for their members it makes a whole lot of sense. It's not official guidance nor do you have to follow it all.

1. Leverage Off-Peak Travel 📅 Consider visiting Mexico during off-peak seasons. Not only will you dodge crowded tourist spots, but also save on flights and accommodation. The months of May and June are often less crowded and still offer great weather.
2. Take Local Transport 🚌 Public transportation in Mexico is reliable and affordable. Collectivos (shared vans) and Camiones (buses) offer a real Mexican experience while saving you some cash!
3. Always visit a Local Markets 🛍️ Mexico is famous for its bustling markets. Find unique souvenirs, handcrafts, and delicious street food at a fraction of the price compared to touristy shops. Mercado Benito Juarez in Oaxaca and Mercado 28 in Cancun are worth exploring.
4. Learn Basic Spanish 🗣️ Knowing a bit of Spanish goes a long way in Mexico. Not everyone speaks English, especially in rural areas. Simple phrases like "¿Cuánto cuesta?" (How much does it cost?) or "¿Dónde está el baño?" (Where is the bathroom?) can prove very helpful.
5. Use the "Mexico" App 📲 Download the "Mexico" app. This official travel app gives you access to up-to-date information about places of interest, accommodations, restaurants, and local events.
6. Eat Street Food 🌮 Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Tacos, tamales, and churros from local street vendors are must-tries. Just ensure to choose vendors that are busy with locals; they're busy for a reason!
   
7. Travel Insurance is Key 📑 It's crucial to have a travel insurance policy that covers medical emergencies, theft, and trip cancellations. Hospitals in Mexico can be pricey, and having insurance can give you peace of mind.
   
8. Cash is King 💸 In many places in Mexico, cash is preferred over credit cards. Always carry some Mexican Pesos for local markets, street food, or small establishments.
   

So my wife and I had a heck of a lot of issues from social workers and the hospitals when two of my kids were born.
​
They cited their behavior and why cas was getting involved as because of something called "first response" that was created in 1997.
​
There are notes in this from my ex girlfriends sisters girlfriend the social worker at my first born sons school. It seems these were made because I filmed her when she assaulted me at the school and she was criminally charged when her family lied to the police.
​
Does anyone here know where/how to get these records neither my lawyer or I have had any luck finding or obtaining them.
​
​
Schools, cas, hospitals and likely more can access them.
The school refuses to provide me any records due to litigation fear.
​
​
Typo first response was created in 1997 according to the hospitals social worker.

Durty, you're about stupid asf running around with once again...PART OF THE STORY cause all you got is screen shots. That account was one I used to bait Train with to confirm she was in fact running that trainhorntrainwreck page. I have messages between me and several people during that time regarding the whole matter. So again, you have a screenshot out of context and only a fraction of the real story. So you got that screen shot from Tara or someone affiliated with her when she was under the Bully_Baby account. It changed after I busted her ass cause there was another account very similar to it that was more than likely her daughter because of how it was worded. Since I am not into evidence wars across any platform, I will not be sharing that cause it's going to be used in court for thrid party harassment of Dawn because of where that account had been and the things it was doing. So, kindly...fuck off.
I have always said fuck you and your screenshots because when you add the E-N-T-I-R-E story together, there is a very different picture that is painted. I owe none of you a damn thing and you should really attend to your email folder and answer customers questions. There are some pissed off people in my inbox about you. I will burn whatever I want and so will my people. See, I leave Dawn out of a lot of stuff until the dust settles. I give my friend recaps to protect her mental health so she doesn't have to sit and look at the barrage of BS that used to be thrown at her until I came along and said bring it allllllllll to me. I will fix our environment and I mean it. You may not like my methods, but I am extremely effective and tactical in my approach because I have very limited time and I don't like the fucking drama. I'm not here for clicks and views. I'm not in it for money contrary to the shit you are trying to make people believe. I'm here for a bigger issue https://www.foxnews.com/politics/instagram-algorithm-boosts-vast-pedophile-network-bombshell-report-claims I'll entertain it for a minute, explode it and let it settle and pick apart what I was looking for. People tell on themeselves with their behavior.
Why the FUCK is Miranda being attacked? Why is your screen recording ass trying to bother Dawn? She takes her meds and goes to bed before 8. You ain't doing SHIT to be used the fuck against her again like the shit they did while she was on medication that disassociates the concious and subconcious mind for your warped motherfucking TikTok views. I let many people use that account. I have asked them to. So that account is accessible to a few folks and you ain't ever gonna fucking know the identities of them EITHER. All of my current approaches have been based on learning your asshole behavior and protecting what I am doing while looking for information. I am not STUPID. I study human behavior. I will make you fix yours with some impactful lessons. Maybe you'll stop doing it and people can have their fyp's back cause they are realllllllly sick of the fucking negative, vile and repugnant shit you spew into their atmosphere. Seriously. They don't say shit cause this is what they. have to deal with. You don't have any right to sit and force anyone into a Durty interrogation cause of your crazy obsession with people who don't kiss your ass. Isn't that a symptom of Obsessive Cumpulsive Disorder? You should fix yourself.
A gift is a gift. In the biker world, burning that shit signifies something a little deeper. You know, those figures of speech I speak of all the time? Yeah, you should read through them. I'm symbolic. Quit trying to drag me down to your petty-ass level. You don't have the brains, intelligence or people skills to work the way I do. You react emotionally and don't think things through. I have listened to so many assumptions from all sides that it is insane the number of times you are so far off-base from your screenshot guesses that I don't worry about people's identities getting out. It means I have done my job well and I always document it. If there is no evidence, then it didn't happen. Ask any healthcare worker. That is our cardinal rule. Jodi gave you what she did so you knew we didn't sit around and talk. I said what I said about your husband and I mean it. He pays zero attention to your son and should have taken his ass to the hospital with you instead of going back to his video game. He didn't even act fucking concerned. He opened that door and COMMANDED you into the house. What the hell? Girl I don't care about your TikTok rules in this ridculous Fake Ass Woke generation. Ya'll got me fucked up.
Your investigation skills based on screenshot evidence without doing a damn bit of research is what got you busted. I was getting ripped apart covering for your ass and you still acting weird as fuck. As long as you keep acting that way, I'm paying attention. So you want that attention or you wanna mind your own mother-fucking business? Cause if it continues I am going #noholesbarred at this point and nothing will be off-limits because of what you all have done. You wanna test that assumption at your earliest convenience? Mmmm girl, I got legit concerns about your ass based on the behavoir that you are exhibiting. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS AND YOU SHOULD QUIT ACTING LIKE THAT.

Hi,
I’m not sure of their travel insurance details (he has had a heart attack before, so he may have been ineligible) but my uncle was on an Alaskan cruise with my aunt and had a heart attack in Glacier Bay National Park. He required helicopter medical transport, etc.
Their medical bills (so far- they are still waiting for the bill for his three day hospital stay, so that amount is not included yet) are ballooning up to the $100k USD range. Likely far more once they get the hospital bill.
I’ve heard that foreigners can often negotiate their medical bills downward since the hospitals are not too interested in legally pursuing payment from foreigners.
Would a lawyer be able to help them with this? Would the costs outweigh the benefits?
Thank you in advance for any insight!
(Please do not comment on their idiocy for traveling in the US without proper insurance… I am aware. I am just trying to help them in any way I can, since they’re retired and on a fixed income.)

Any information will be useful

My 70 yr old sister just found out today that her neighbor put her down as her medical proxy without asking or telling her. My sister has her own health problems to deal with and her daughter is in Hospice at the moment, and this is stress that is she does not need or can handle. The neighbor is in the hospital and the social worker contacted my sister to make decisions for the neighbor. My sister told them she is not going to be responsible for a neighbor she only casually knows and was never asked to be the decision maker for her, the neighbor just put her down. She has done some minor things to help the neighbor just to be nice. The social worker got mad at my sister and after going back and forth told her it was my sister's responsibility to write a letter denying being the medical proxy and send it in. Is this my sister's responsibility for something she was never asked or talked to about till now?
