Susan in TN Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 So we can't find dd16's S.S. card. We need the actual card to apply for a passport. But to get a replacement card for her, we need pretty much any form of legal identification EXCEPT a birth certificate, which is all we have. I am hoping she can pass the driver's permit test soon, because I think we could use that for an ID. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 51 minutes ago, prairiewindmomma said: Junie---a lot of people with Parkinson's have a worsening of disease after surgery. It's a known issue that affects 30-50% of patients (depending on which study you follow). If you want some more reading: https://www.neurologyadvisor.com/movement-disorders/parkinson-disease-anesthesia-cautions-preparation/article/742947/ https://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/17/hospital-dangers-for-patients-with-parkinsons/ http://pdcenter.neurology.ucsf.edu/patients-guide/precautions-regarding-hospitalization In my relative's case, there were also some mini-strokes that happened immediately post-op that weren't picked up on right away. I'm sorry things aren't going well for your dad. Thanks for the links. His disease has actually been worsening rapidly for several months. He was falling several times a day, which eventually led to head injury, which led to surgery. He left the hospital I think last weekend and went to a rehab facility. He was only there a few days before he ended up back in the hospital with pneumonia and severe dehydration. My mom said that the staff at the rehab facility was very understaffed. She decided not to put him back in rehab and instead bring him home. We discussed the benefits of rehab (especially regaining the ability to walk). We discussed the fact that it was probably safer for him to not be able to walk because he doesn't understand his limitations -- it was an ongoing problem that he would try to walk somewhere, leave his walker for "just a second", and then fall. Mom and Dad's 40th wedding anniversary is next month. My mom was recently talking to him about celebrating their 50th anniversary together. She is definitely in denial, although I think in the past week she is starting -- just starting -- to see the situation realistically. The prayers and good thoughts from all of the ITT are very appreciated. Thank you. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I have only a Closet of Doom, and maybe a Drawer of Doom, according to my children. I call it the junk drawer. Been writing this morning and framing! My folks brought me a whole pile of frames from the thrift stores for the show in May, and I've been going through my stock and picking representative pieces of what I can draw and paint. Feels a whole lot more real with paintings in frames! Which means I really do have to tackle the Closet of Doom and turn it into my art supply. Who needs clothes in there after all, right? I can do with less clothes and more paint! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 So, yesterday, a woman wearing only her socks (in the snow) joined us at the school bus stop. She tried to get onto the school bus, and when the bus drove away, started crying. I finally found out where she belonged, returned her to her group home, and called the supervisor for the group home and left a message. No response. I think from here on out I'm going to have to call the police non-emergency line. The group home opened a week ago and we've already had multiple issues. People are wandering out into a busy five lane road. 😞 They clearly need to be better staffed or have a locked facility. Someone is going to end up getting hit by a car if nothing changes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 How come nobody gave me the memo about not having to obey stop signs anymore? There should have been a memo. Three times in the past week or so I've almost been hit by people ignoring stop signs and not even looking in my direction to check. Seriously, if you are going to completely ignore a stop sign, at least look to see that nobody is coming. Most stop signs are there for a reason. I'm here to ignore the massive massive piles of dishes I should be washing. I'm at the science center and I did really messy activities for two classes today, plus there's still a little bit to clean up from 4-H last night. I don't wanna do them.

They're going to have a meeting to discuss his last day, but the email just said that the day would be assigned to him so it all sounded very strange until his manager talked to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they plan to lay him off to keep up the numbers of people not quitting. According to them no one has quit the facility since it opened, but he can name a number of people that have quit. One case in particular he remembers someone sitting down with their boss and giving him his two weeks notice and he was walked out immediately. That's why he sent his resignation to HR. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
