Nursing Homes

Description: I don't know exactly when it started, but I am 14 and I just hate my life. I cut my thighs/hips. I cry all the time even for no reason. I don't know why, but I feel guilty because I know people have it much worse than me. My dad is an alcoholic ever since I can remember, and he is ALWAYS drunk. Always. My parents split when I was mayb in 5th grade, and now I am in 8th grade. I remember one time me and my sister had to pull my parents apart because my dad was choking my mom. I remember one time my dad was threatning my mom with a broom and then my mom said "Scarlett, help!" And I tried to come in but my dad pushed me away. He doesn't live with us anymore, but he drops by every once in a while...When he isn't drunk he is actually kind and funny. But he never gives me a christmas or a birthday gift... This year on my birthday in March, he was in my driveway when i came home on my birthday. I thought maybe he came for my birthday! I was really happy. But then as I was walking up to him he said "why do you have a cake in your hand?" It. was. my. birthday. Thanks for remembering "dad..." I tried to act like I didn't care, but it really hurt me. No matter how much I hate him, he could at least remember my birthday... I'm sorry I am ranting on.. He also doesn't pay child support anymore and my mom is a single mom who tries her best. But it is just hard sometimes when I can't do all the other things my rich friends can. My teacher this year causes so much stress on me. He hates me, he makes my life a living hell and I absoloutly despise coming to school. I used to be a straight A student, and now I get c's and I failed like 5 tests in the past 2 monthes... I don't even care about school at all anymore. I don't try, I don't do my homework and I don't work. I used to be really athletic and tried out and made every sports team! I loved sports. Now I don't try out for anything, and I really don't have an intrest in it anymore. I lost intrest in so many things I used to love to do. I used to watch tv, and play video games. Now I just sit in my room, or reblog on my depressing tumblr. I also used to like texting my friends and my crush, now I just stare blankly at their text and I don't know how to respond. I have friends, I don't get bullied, I have a wonderful mom and a really nice sister. So why do I feel this way? I don't even try anymore. I cry randomly and sometimes just tear up in class. I feel worthless and hopeless.. But im also really insecure about the way I look.. I can't help but think ugly. ugly ugly, worthless worthless worthless, stupid stupid stupid. I have seriously considered suicide. I have planned out suicide notes in my head, and thought of the way I would kill myself. Im not ready yet, but I just can;t handle it anymore. What is the point of life? You go to school, you work, you become old and cant do shit. What is the fun in that? Life is so stressful. Cutting helps me relieve all of the horrible thoughts that are constantly in my mind. Last night i was in my room from 9-11 pm. I had bad feelings in my head, i cut and all of it went away. As soon as i stopped cutting, they all came back and i lay in my bed until i cried myself to sleep. No one understands how I feel. Do i have depression or something? I could never tell my mom to take me to a doctor or anything... Thanks! Sorry for wasting your time, I just feel alone and have to let out how i feel.

Description: I am afraid of death, and it seems almost disappointing that you spend your whole life doing whatever and then it all ends, as if it never happened. And you won't remember it; you're loved ones will but when they die, and their loved ones die, who will you be anymore? I don't think you'll ever be remembered. That's what scares me. I get really scared of the thought that it has all been like it never happened. And, when you least expect it, you'll slip into an eternity of nothing. Complete nothingness. You won't even be able to think about how you are doing nothing in an eternity of nothingness. I don't know whether I'd want to. And when I think about this, I seem to subconsciously view it as fiction ... like it's not possible. But it is. And it will most likely happen.

Description: I'm casually dating 2 men in their late 40's. I'm 20 something. Please no lectures! Lets call these 2 middle age men A and J. I have known A for nearly 2 years. He is very energetic and talkative like me. I love talking to him. He always talks about his 2 kids who are a teacher and a nurse, his health problems, his neighbors, co workers and everything else. I met both of his kids 2 or 3 times. I don't even care when he talks about his ex-wife whom he is still in contact with. I have known J for nearly 3 years. He hardly talks about anything! Last week I found the report cards of his 2 straight A high school students while he wasn't home. I wonder why he never told me about or showed me the report cards! That is something to brag on and on about. I also found out that he gave his ex wife a 5,000 dollar engagement ring. Suddenly I'm starting 2 hate J, his kids and his ex wife! I'm almost wishing that I never even met the man! I don't even know why I feel this way! I don't hate As kids or ex wife who he is still good friends with. Why?

Description: Our family is having a difficult time with my great uncle's sisters and brothers trying to get him from his home, into a nursing home. His health is not critical, but he does require care, in which we are giving and are looking into in-home care for him as well since he does live alone (and he has made it VERY clear that this is exactly what he wants) He doesn't want anyone living with him, nor does he want to live in someone else's home. He has my aunt and uncle living right next door to him for emergencies. These siblings have had very little to nothing to do with him over the past 20 years - my grandmother has helped him pay bills, take him to doctor appointments, and everything multiple times a week. Now they decide to try to step up and act like they are big and mighty. My grandma (his closest sister whom he's done everything with his entire life) is struggling against her other siblings, wanting to put him in a nursing home. They are harassing and threatening her throughout each week about how she better have not taken him back home, and so many other things. He lived with my grandma for 4 months, and complained about wanting to go back home every single day he was there - having gained his sound mind back and having an acceleration of health, he decided he was going to walk down the road to hitch a ride, forcing my grandmother to pick him up and take him home. It almost felt as if we were holding him against his will, just to keep his other siblings away. They are anxious to get into his property and sale the home immediately after his death, for that was in their parents' will - for it to be sold and split right after his death. He's like any elderly person - he has his good days, he has his bad...but he has 4 family members on my side of the family that he means the world to, and his wishes were to never, ever end up in a nursing home, that he rather die before ending up in one - that he wants to die in his home. So, his other siblings are threatening that he will be back in a nursing home by Wednesday - there are some days his mind is not clear at all, and others it's as clear as could be - I just worry he won't be clear Wednesday and trust them to get in the car with them and go, and not understand what's going on until it's too late. We are planning on doing at advance directive of healthcare tomorrow with him - will this ensure if SOMEHOW they do get him into the nursing home, will this document give us the option to get him out to receive in-home care instead have he somehow not be able to make the decision to leave the facility, himself? That's all I would like to know! Thank you! Thank you so much! He goes to his primary doctor regularly, at least two to three times per month, they do blood work regularly and test his urine regularly to. So, it's not like he's not getting care. We do everything we can for him. He actually told my grandmother this morning that he wanted to come back to her place, so I guess, for now, that settles it, and will get them off his and our backs again. Thanks!

Description: My mother has been in the 1970's & 1980's with paranoid schizophrenia and bi polar/manic depression. Presently, she is in a small-town nursing home bc I found her weighing 89 lbs and in a manic state. She was sent to a mental health facility, and during the two weeks while she was there, she was able to manipulate the psych tests, which she has figured out since my father had attempted on several occasions to have her committed unsuccessfully in the past during his marriage to my mother. Before being transported to the nursing home in which she currently resides, the mental health facility in which she was be evaluated (in which tests she passed with flying colors) was caught on tape and video describing to other patients how to trick the doctors, just the way she has done so many times bf-the last time she was when I had her committed in 2010. The nursing home that she in which she currently resides (as mentioned, she is there STILL not eating, and is severely underweight for no other medical cause) includes a head staff doctor, who is the only medical professional assessing her presently-not a psychiatrist-is wanting to release my mother as soon as possible bc he believes my mother is not mentally ill. Regardless of fax notifications given to this doctor (and a few others who put them to good use) of previous diagnosis, the diagnosis made prior were so old that they hold no value. This doctor is the ONLY doctor not on my side: every other doc or med professional who has been working on your case, when it comes to her needing continuous aid/lifetime aid. She is delusional when it comes to taking her medication on her own, believing it to be poisonous. This doctor, who thinks she will be able to function normally in the world based only on the tests she manipulated, also regardless of the psych medical health professionals from the mental health care facility from where she was transported believe that she is very manipulated and did manipulate them. In this area (town) where her nursing home is located is very small, and there are only two psychiatrists in the whole town. I have tried "triggers" and as long as she is in the presence of anyone official, she will clam up. What can I do? My mother does not eat or drink willingly, and will die if she is released. I feel this is because she is a medicaid/medicare patient. I should also add that all I have is power of attorney and have not been able to gain guardianship, due to lack of attorney fees. Any advice, or if you know of any other similar case in which a patient easily manipulates mental health examinations, etc.

Description: She was diagnosed in November 2012 with cancer of the kidney and urethra. We recently found a lump in her neck, which the doctor has said now in lymph nodes. She decided, along with the Consultant not to have treatment as she would not survive, but what happens next, as me and my 2 sisters are caring for her at home 24hrs a day.

Description: When I was in my 20’s and 30’s, I could easily work hard in a factory, all day, at back-breaking jobs. I remember setting up industrial shelves, lining them with 1” thick hardboard bottoms, and then man-handling 120 pound coils of linoleum and other carpeting materials onto them, all in extremely high heat and humidity, something that would kill me today at the age of 50 if I tried to do it. But the women don't seem to care, they want me to just go ahead, work myself to death, give them the money, and then go die of a heart attack, they seem to be more than happy to live life like that! The fact is that good high-pay jobs today are just not there. I’m educated in Engineering technology but there just isn’t any jobs there either. So I’m semi-retired and only working part-time taking care of seniors needs as a shuttle driver. Yet when I date a lady she asks me why am I not working hard, breaking my back for the woman in my life? These days, it seems as if every lady I meet thinks a man should literally kill himself just so that she can stay home and take care of the kids! In this economy there far more jobs for women than there are for men, so I’m thinking of going into becoming a nurse, or practical nurse, or something else in health care, as it really is draining on one’s ego when he spends months searching for work but there is no one hiring for ‘men’s jobs’. So why are women so intent on guys bringing home all of the Gold, why won’t the women have some kindness on us older guys and don’t give us heart attacks and put us into an early grave? Last year I working in a transformer manufacturing plant, I was stacking steel plates in bunches of five as fast as my fingers could work! The place was boiling hot in the summer, freezing in the winter, and each week I had to keep ratcheting up my peformance or I was told I would be let go! The stress to keep up the speed was so high one guy in his mid 40's had a heart attack soon after his shift ended! I'm 50 and I said to myself "No way", I'm not going to die just for a measly $10.75 that I was making, so I quit. That's when I started driving seniors around for $12/hr ; its so much nicer, no stress to keep up the speed ! But when women find out I'm only working part time they say "GO WORK IN A FACTORY YOU LAZY BUM!" Seriously, that's what they say to me ! - I don't WANT to be seen as being lazy, but its just as we get older we cannot lift 200 pound weights all day the way we could when we were younger, that's all. I just thought that the women of today would understand that and not treat older guys so cruel, that's all.

Description: Story: I adopted two box turtles in February from an bad home, nursed them back to health and socialized them to the point where they will eat from your hand and not hide in their shells when you walk up to the glass. The woman I adopted them from had not known and information about them, only that they were male and female. This past week I have seen them mate several times. I have read many webpages about box turtle mating and eggs and how to care for them, but my question is how can I tell if my female is old enough to lay eggs? Where I live the only vet specialized in turtles in an hour drive away and pretty costly, so I would rather not take her to the vet for an X-ray unless its needed. She's been digging holes (unlike her) around their tank all the time and hasn't eaten as much. She spends more time in her water than under her basking spot as she normally does. Does this sound like she might be trying to lay eggs? Their dirt is about 4 inches deep and her "holes" have been right down to the bottom of the glass. Any help or advice is loved. Thank you.

Description: i'm so confused, i'm 18 and going to start college soon. I wanted to do Cookery/Hospitality but i don't want to end up cooking in some stinking school canteen or old people's home. I'm good at health but don't want to be a nurse or doctor or anything like that. I want a job that enables me to be able to travel the world and gives me good oppurtunities and pays well (i know i will need to study at university after college because i want this). English was my best subject in school, i love movies and food

Description: I have a 4 week old puppy we took him to the emergency vet he told us to take him back home he gave him fluids and meds. His eyes are glazed and he's very very weak and breathing heavily he's on a heat pad and I've givin him pedi light and everything the vet told us to do. Please help me nurse him back to health please! I'm doing everything the vet said and no he is a inside dog STRICTLY! He does have a low temp, he's getting worse and I'm just so upset I don't know what more to do we called the vet and he said he's done everything. I was just hoping someone had maybe a home remede or something I love my dogs very much they are my kids and its breaking me in two Well he just took his last breathe thank you everyone for your time and help..

Description: I'm working on my statement of purpose essay for my med school application and I'm curious, what's it like to be an inpatient in a hospital? I mean as a physically ill person, NOT a psych ward or anything like that. Try to answer these questions: What type of care did you receive? In speaking about treatment options with your doctor, were long-term lifestyle options presented (ex, was a nutritionist recommended?) Did you feel like your doctor took time to take care of you, or did you constantly feel like they were trying to move on to the next patient? How effective were they in explaining your illness and treatment options to you? And anything else you want to add! I've never been an inpatient so it's hard to write about experiences I've never had!

Description: Hello :) First off thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm trying to support my sister in becoming a personal trainer. She was injured in the military, and through time fitness became her motivation. She wants to first get certified as a fitness trainer then EVENTUALLY specialize in fitness with injuries ect. However, it's really hard to find where you can get certified. We've had sites (i think it's online) recommened, but we're not sure what is actually legit and wont endanger the personal information that's given (fraud pretty much). Anyone has personal experience with that. Consider me a total noob with all of it, anything helps. I would love, if you can anything, any step by step instruction (where to buy books, legit sites, time frame, tips, ANYTHING.) She's a wonderful, amazing person who has A -LOT to offer. She's very inspirational, helps everyone (like myself) focus on their strengths which keeps your mind off the long term goals. We live in Las Vegas Nevada, we attend Las Vegas Athletic Club and are Hoping to find out how to get her hired there as a trainer. (We've called and asked them but its a mess. some say the information is disclosed?????). Please help! Thank you x a mill!!!!!!

Description: So the whole story Was admitted to hospital for large cut to abdomen that would not stop bleeding. After stitching the wound did not stop bleeding it was reopened and cauterized by a sergeon. This was last Thursday. Friday (yesterday) before I was discharged I noticed a smell from somewhere that resembled bad foot odor. I showered thinking it was my feet but the smell remained. Wound care nurse came by to change the dressing and it was discovered that the smell was coming from my wound. He cleaned it with surgical scrub and the smell went away briefly. He commented that some fat tissue that was visible looked off color and that part of the wound was basically dying and this was probably where the smell was coming from. Orders to clean with surgical scrub bid and frequent changes with scrub saturated dressing and dry on top by home health nurse. Problem home health appt not until Monday or Tuesday. Since I have been home the special dressing that was supposed to last until then has fallen off the smell is worse and a low grade 100.2 fever as well as increased pain. I am positive for MRSA colonization via nose swab and prone to getting really bad infections really fast. I am not supposed to clean with regular soaps and I don't have additional dressings. What are reccommendations if any.

Description: I was severely burned over 18 years ago, (my face, lips, eyebrows, hair, arms and hands), I had 2nd, 3rd and 4th degree burns. my entire face had to grow new skin. The thing that I can't understand is the apartment building I sued had faulty fire detectors they never went off. I put my 2 kids on the balcony and went back in and put the fire out and was severely burned in the process. What I need to know is because I was a student at the time medicaid took my entire pain and suffering award for my hospital bill. I received 500.00 dollars. Why didn't my attorney have their insurance pay my hospital bill so I would've received something for my injuries. I am a nurse now so I did finish school. I still have the scars though from the fire. I just think it was sort of unfair because I was poor and didn't know much legally I got nothing (well 500.00 dollars is something).. I know medicaid will take their money first also, but was there some kind of way I should have been compensated..It took me two years to heal

Description: Before I start with this question, I will say I am happily married and I have no intention on leaving my husband. I am purely asking because I'm wondering if I have anything to be worried about. I take martial arts, and it seems that my instructor has a thing for me. We do have a lot in common, and we enjoy conversing about certain topics. He has a girlfriend, but he doesn't talk much about her. He's mentioned her maybe once or twice during conversation, but that's about it. Oddly enough, he divorced and he actually mentions his ex wife more than he does about his g/f. He know's I'm married as well. On the flip side, it seems like he likes to flirt with me. He laughs at my jokes that I make, whenever we talk, he looks right into my eyes and smiles, and he's always teasing me about stupid stuff I do in class we well. I'm nurse, and he is also tends to ask me about health advice. Also, his ex wife was a nurse, and I don't know if it's because he's been married to a nurse before or not, but he tends to ask questions regarding how my job is. He's strictly a single parent (his wife up and left him and his kids years ago) so I doubt he is looking to get back together with his ex wife. Does it sound like I have to worry about this guy being interested in me, or does he rather just see me as a friend? He's a very nice and I would consider him a friend, but nothing more.

Description: Tax to hospitals, medical companies, individuals, etc. This raises taxes on everyone and the extra added costs are already being felt through higher premiums. What happened to only taxing the rich?

Description: A friend of mine is actually planning to rent out rooms in his house to seniors, as an alternative to traditional assisted living/skilled nursing facilities. He plans to provide his residents with daily yoga exercises (his latest girlfriend is a yoga instructor) instead of physical therapy and medicine. My question: what are the legal liabilities for something like this? I know people have the choice to live wherever they choose, but what if one of the residents breaks a hip while attempting the lotus position? I'm serious -- I really don't know what the ramifications might be. There's a good reason most reputable senior living facilities have trained medical professionals on staff, NOT self-proclaimed "experts" with a $200 license to teach yoga. @ Jeanbug - thank you. @ Simpson G - I agree with you, and I also think it's a shame you were TD'd for your response. It did not come from me -- I never TD anyone who takes the time to respond to my question. Never.

Description: Hello I'm interested in offering domiciliary care to people at home, I was wondering for me to offer this service on my own what regulations are involved ? Do I have to get a CRB check for example? Or do I have to register as self employed? Although I am currently working Monday to Friday I could offer my service in the evenings and weekends. How could I be employed and self employed at the same time? I have contacted the CQC CARE QUALITY COMMISSION and as far as they are concerned I can offer a service to whoever I want as long as I don't employ anyone or become a ltd company. Can I just advertise my services and go and see clients and arrange to help them for a fee? My mum is a registered mental health nurse aswell. Could she offer personal care in the community aswell ? Any advise would be thankfully received.

Description: I have already finished two years of BSN here in my home country but I have to go back to first year again in Canada. Do I have to learn French? I'm fluent in English but if I want to work in a government hospital, should I learn French? I'm kind of learning right now through a website but it's really basic and I'm planning to watch some French shows and try to pick up some words that I have learned and also new words and phrases. Also,if I want to work in a government agency, should I still need to learn French? Can I even work in a government agency even if I'm just a permanent resident? :) We're planning to live in British Columbia. Is French useful there? Which places is French widely used aside from Quebec?

Description: Not talking about those who have their parents pay for everything. I'm 18 and living with my parents and about to apply for college after a year off school. I've always wondered this. How am I supposed to afford it? So college/university students, I'm asking you how you're pulling it off? Is it busing instead of driving? working full time between semesters? student loans? how?

Description: I love both of these careers, but I seem to can not make up my mind. I am an incoming freshmen and I have to make a decision. Please tell me which would you chose and WHY. Also tell me the pros and cons of both careers. I need some insight on both. Also if you are a nurse or occupational therapist, you are more than welcome to give your insight.(ex. which has the best salary, which can I keep going back to school, has more openings and etc.)

Description: Please Help.... Just diag. w/CMV but there is something else VERY wrong.? fever going on now for almost 3 months. I just found out I have CMV today. But not supposed to have fever this long cause w/cmv it's up to 4-to 6 weeks. They also found that I am severely vitamin D deficient and that number was a 9. My fevers are low grade as high as 100.6 on some days. I'm tired of this fatigue, body aches are killing me!!!! I've had these tests turn out normal All STDS normal CBC normal serum electro normal (whatever that was for..) They took soooo much blood from me like four bottle and ten viles. Those bottles are a blood culture. I'v had blood titers before taken and sent out and they came back normal. I didn't get results on these and what they were sent out for. When the nurse gave me the results today she told me that the doctors wanted to see me this Friday, and today is Monday. To talk about the blood results. More than anythng I cannot do anything and have had to quit my job over all this. My home is a mess as I cannot clean it either. I feel bad that I can't even be there for my kids ages 17 and 13. I am a 51 year old female. My question is, what do you possibly think could be causing these fevers? And why is my doctor wanting me to come in so soon? I feel he may do a spinal tap to check for menengitis... Please for the most part I need help into finding out about this chronic fever.

My father recently passed away and I sense quite a bit of tension. I was the one, with my mother, who visited him at the nursing home and took care of him. The other day, while my sister was here to visit, she told me mom "I hope (insert my name) doesn't call her brother only when she needs something done." Any my mother was like "Pardon? What do you mean by that? She calls him to talk and stuff, not only to get things done". My sister replied: "Oh really? Oh, ok, then." Even though I did ask my brother to do stuff for me, is it her business? And here I am, doing mostly EVERYTHING for my parents. I don't get this at all. My brother isn't helpful and will only do stuff when stricly necessary. What is this all about? My mom is all confused and wondering who to trust now. Help! There is a will and I'm her power of attorney and executor. The others don't want to assume the job as executor so I'll be stuck with it. Maybe it's for the better. Why would my sister be taking my brother's side all of a sudden? It's weird because I feel like an outsider because I take care of business here, while they're all good "buddies" and on the same wavelength.

Description: I don't have much money for college and stuff whats a job preferably in the medical field or working with kids or fashion that requires a minimal amount of training and classes? Also I have trouble learning so please take that into account. I live in North West Florida btw if that helps any.

Description: I'm 15 and 5'9 and i won't have anything to do over the summer and i want to get fit. Just wondering what a good plan would be for me.

Description: I feel like a bad mom and sometimes I feel like other people think I am. I am currently pregnant which was unplanned but I want this baby and so does my husband and my daughter and ideally I think four years is a pretty good distance between my two children. I was going to school but the dean made me withdraw because she said it was too dangerous to keep me in clinical. This made me feel like a bad mom because I was so stubborn to stay in nursing school. I love my baby and do care about her but I didn't feel there was a difference whether I stayed in school or stayed at home. I mean I had to go to the ER twice but they were very minor problems like nosebleed and another time I felt nauseous and dizzy because of the medicine I am taking. I also worked full time overnight and went to school in the morning and with this tight schedule give me little time to spend with my daughter. I am returning in fall but the problem is the due date is very close to when the semester starts. My doctor wants to induce me earlier than the due date because of the hypertension. I wanted to ask parents if this is a good idea to go back to school in the fall? I know bonding is very important for the newborn years, I feel like a bad mom in a way but I won't be working for three months and if I continue next spring, I would have to work and go to school which give me hardly time to spend with my infant and my girl( who will be in school at the time). I really want to finish school so I can give my children a better future and opportunity than I had. I am bummed out with this semester since I wanted it done before the baby was out, I just wished the dean gave me a chance. I discussed it with my doctor, he said it would have been fine if I stayed in school and that they did it because they didn't want a lawsuit. I also feel that my professors probably think I put school before the health of my child which is not true. I asked my friends and family and they said they would have done the same thing and stayed in school.

Description: I was invited to someone's home a few hours ago and they had several small dogs - quite territorial - one of which decided to nip my calf as I was approaching the house. I didn't think it broke the skin, but when I got home and checked because it was still sore - it did. Not a huge laceration, just a red spot that drew a miniscule amount of blood. Looks like a small puncture wound, it's a bit sore. Obviously, rabies comes to mind. I am fairly sure the dogs do not have shots given the area I was in. Just washed the wounds out with soap & water, applied badnages & antibiotic ointment. Urgent care worthy, do you think?

Description: My mother had a stroke about 4 years ago, and is currently paralyzed on half of her body. She has mental issues, as in she sometimes thinks I am still 10 yrs old and my brother lives near her. He actually lives across the country, and she hasn't seen him in almost a full year. Her mental status can seem like being narcissistic, which I believe she was an N prior to her stroke...so it coming out in full force AFTER the stroke, is no surprise to me. My mother has been at this current nursing home for almost exactly a year now. We had an issue last Aug, with her lips. They were very red, pussing, and oozing. My daughter and I were diagnosed with eczema shortly after my mother started showing symptoms. The doctor at the nursing home did a wide array of medications for my mother (after two months of complaining every day about it and being a general pain). Eventually, it went away. I even spent about $100 on over the counter medication for cold sores. They used them to help treat. (The head nurse today said she wouldn't use it on my mom, unless the doctor actually prescribed them to her??? Since when???) I visited her two weeks ago, and she was showing symptoms of the red/pus/ooze coming back. I assume it's eczema because the nursing home uses Vaseline on her like it's candy. I left a note in her room to please not use the Vaseline until the doctor had seen her again. I also spoke to the nurses. I just got back from my visit with her for Mother's Day, about 10 minutes ago. It is even worse then it was 2 weeks ago. I feel like the doctor hasn't even cared enough, nor taken the proper time to start treatment for her lips again. I am tired of complaining about the same issues, and either the nurses acting like they will handle it..or just flat out ignoring me. We are also having a problem with her teeth. They have been seriously neglected at this nursing home and the previous nursing home. It is so bad that she will need a full mouth extraction, and dentures made. I am probably going to have to pay $3k out of pocket for this (as her social security checks, medicaid, and medicare do NOT cover this added expense). She was SUPPOSED to be put on a pain medication routine, starting last month when she was diagnosed (as per the dentist's instructions)...but I checked today, and so far they aren't even giving her tylenol regularly! It's funny, the doctor has the nerve to send me bills in the mail, when the nursing home is supposed to cover that (and medicaid/medicare)...yet he won't actually TREAT her. I look at these "bills" and she is being treated for "physical therapy"...but she never actually gets any physical therapy, as she is confined to a wheelchair. He NEVER bills for her lips, or ANY medication. I feel like he is just showing up, saying hi how are you, and ditching. I DO have a POA for her health, fiances, and everything else. So, I DO have a say in everything regarding to her care. I have a "care conference" this Wednesday, and I am going to bring it all up again. Is there a good way to go about this without getting mean? I am fairly angry that this has been ignored AGAIN, and that the head nurse (today that I spoke with) brushed me off. The head nurse also suggested that my mom was bipolar, and that she was having hallucinations of worms in her bed. I was never called about this (I live 1 block away!), and I have a feeling like her stroke is NOT the cause of hallucinations. I'm actually a little angry that I was never informed and that they aren't really TREATING her. The head nurse actually even fought with me about giving her a perceset (sp?) and tylenol when needed for pain. I had to explain it was in her file, and I shouldn't have to remind them to give it to her if she is in that much pain. (Trust me, her teeth are a disaster and she is in LOTS of pain...added on pain from her stroke ailments) I can't have her move in with me, we tried that...and it's just way too much work. I work 3 jobs, my husband is AD Army and stationed in another state...and I take care of two kids by myself. I barely have time to be handling all of this. Ugh, what do I say and do at the care conference? Should I relocate her to another facility? Should I get mean? I've been trying to handle it all nicely...but apparently, I am the only family member that even calls/visits. No one else called her today (Mother's Day). I have a feeling like these people think they can get away with it because I only visit once every two weeks. I say not to use the Vaseline and chapstick, because my daughter and I can't use that to treat our eczema. It actually makes it 100x worse then it was before. I have a feeling like it is the same reaction on my mother, as ours is hereditary. So, if it doesn't work on us, it won't work on her...and is actually hurting her more. I have made mention of this several times. I should add that I am concerned about causing a stink, because it might show even worse in her care. As is, there are some major issues. If I complained and got angry, wouldn't some of the employees make it worse for my mother? Is there anything I can do or say to make this better for her?

Description: This year I figured out how to masturbate, I had my first orgasm. I'm 16 and ever since then I do it none stop. I masturbate like 4 times a day. Sometimes at school I stare at the clock waiting for it to ring so I can get home just to do it. I'm turned on at the slightest thing. I've already done it twice today and even though I tell myself it's enough I'll probably do it again. Some days I wake up telling myself I won't do it but then I end up breaking that promise. This is so embarrassing to say but I once got "aroused" in school, I seriously went to the nurse and claimed I had a stomach ache just so I can use one of the private bathrooms to do it. I think I have a problem. What if when I do start to have sex I do it allot and can't stop myself? I'm not even sure this is healthy.

Description: My dog is 6 months old and is a Chihuahua mix. He was diagnosed with parvo a few days ago but I think he's had it for about a week. At first he was throwing up and having diarrhea he had a fever and was not eating or drinking. We took him to the vet and they gave him medicine since then he has not thrown up, has no fever, but still has diarrhea and we've been giving water and feeding him through a syringe. My question is how long will it take for him to recover and does he have a good chance to beat this virus? Also there is no blood in his vomit or diarrhea is that a good sign? Or will it come later? If anyone could let me know ASAP I would really appreciate it!

Description: Well my fam has money problems every once in a while. every time we have these probs my sister flips out and blames everything on my mom. my sis is also depressed so she talks about suicide whenever something bad happens. It really stresses my mom out because she has to worry about money and my sister's mental health. Im really tired of my sister being suicidal and disrespectful to my mom and Im tired of my mom crying and stressing over my sister. all i do is stay in my room all day to avoid all of the drama because Im really getting sick of it. i have no where to hang out or go because i don't have a car nor friends so i just listen to music all day to avoid the drama. and my sister is far away in college so we can't really get to her. *sigh* i just need help on how to deal with this. its been going on for too long.

Description: With reference to a local case study, assess the relative importance of age, gender and wealth for the provision of health care. English is not my first language. This question is confusing for me. Can you write it in simple English? It's a Geography AS level question. Thanks very much :)

Description: This morning I accidentally overslept, which is not like me at all. I had a sore throat all day, and during fifth period (around 1:15) I suddenly felt really fatigued and had little to no strength. My friend checked me for a fever, and she said I was burning up. She urged me to go to the nurse but I insisted I'd be fine, and went to my last class still feeling weak. The stairs killed me— It took me nearly two minutes to get up a single flight. I couldn't focus on the work and kept dozing off. I had a friend in there check for a fever, and she said I was really cold. School let out and it took me far longer than normal to get to my mom's car. As soon as I got home I went to bed and took a nap. (From around 3:30 to 5:30). When I woke up my sore throat was even worse and I had a headache. I tried to eat dinner, but even though it was my favorite and I hadn't eaten since around 8 that morning, I didn't feel hungry at all and I was unable to force it down. I got terrible chills soon after, and even now as I'm laying in bed I can't calm down. I researched my symptoms, and most of it points to mono, but that'd be crazy. I haven't had a boyfriend in four months and we rarely kissed (even when we did, it was just a peck on the cheek or lips. Never any saliva swapping. Plus, he doesn't show any of the symptoms I have.). I do have a friend who has licked me a couple of times to weird me out, but it's not like it was on any opening of my body. My lymph nodes are swollen (as far as I can tell, anyways) and my heart hurts a tiny bit if I breathe too deeply. I'm scared— I rarely get sick, and if I have mono it looks like I'll be "out of commission" for weeks. Is there anything else I might have? I am a giant hypochondriac, so is it possible I just have a bad cold?
