This morning my mom spoke at the funeral of her dear friend who suffered with Alzheimer's for the past decade and she shared "lilacs reminded her of her mother so I brought her bouquets of them from my yard until she couldn't remember why she loved them anymore." 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I hate HATE HATE when nurses withhold pain medication especially for chronic pain patients or very painful procedures for β€œslightly low blood pressure” Treat their pain. IF the blood pressure tanks we can deal later.

The year was 2010. We had a new admission that day at the long term care facility. Admissions were always exciting but also stressful for staff. Are they coming willingly ? Is the family making this decision? Have they exhausted all other avenues ? Will they adapt quickly ?

The people worried about chemtrails, are also against mask mandates. I’m just going to let that sit there. And stew in its own incongruity.

Replying to @TheBreakdownAB
The only way to address very real decline and symptoms that are not being addressed (as we cannot even see our family docs anymore)β€”- is to end up in a dire medical crises in the ER. Period. This is our medical care now. And IT IS also crumbling.

The last time I was super into the Olympics was probably 1994 when Elvis Stojko did the quadruple whatever the fuck in jeans and so after watching 3x3 basketball this year, I’ll be back for the 2054 Olympics.

As a 40 year old parent of a toddler I now firmly believe the song, "head shoulders knees and toes," is actually a reminder for me to take ibuprofen.

I love that all us Millennials were told by our Boomer parents that we’d get more conservative as we aged and here we are in our 30s/40s and all liberal AF.

I can relate to this except there are a few things that still scare the hell out of me.
My wife and I lost 4 pregnancies, the longest at 11 weeks, and then out of the blue she died. 5 days in hospital and she was gone. Consequently when I say I’m not afraid of anything anymore it’s not bravado. Not a single thing frightens me. It’s not as cool as it sounds

I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.
