I talk to anyone, as you know, and I think we need more human contact in our lives. I'm thinking I should start giving out hugs to random strangers.

*jburgh will confirm that I talk to strangers and will talk to anyone while waiting in line, trying on shoes... She often has to apologize on my behalf for being Canadian

Well, I know I'm strange. And I'm proud of it! So, feel free to talk to me anytime.

My cousin is being released from the hospital today
I am extremely angry and feeling impotent
Instead of keeping for a few days to find out why his sugar keeps bottoming out
They just got it to normal parameters and released him
I tried to get them to keep him to find out the problem but they wouldn't
My hands are tied as the Insurance Company is in control
So today I spent my day with my other cousin talking to social workers etc trying to get the wheels in motion for residency in a nursing home
One of the problems is
When we talk to him he says he will go but when the social worker talks to him he sings a different tune
Today they said he was not a candidate for residency because he can do things for himself like take a shower
So now we have to get affidavits from the hospital and the Endocrinologist
His GP
His friend that went into his apt when the fire alarm went off and found the bed on fire
It is just a mess
It has taken over our lives
I have taken care of people that were in their 90's that were less trouble [emoji25][emoji43]

This is why, if I see somebody with an accessory or outfit I admire, I say something ...

I definitely do that. It's not about a designer per se, it's more about a great look. I'll also tell a person if their tag is sticking out. It's never gone unappreciated.

...I think we should speak more to each other and I always seem to strike up conversations with strangers...

I agree. I find it sad this growing isolation.

... I happily strike up conversations with anyone and everyone about dogs!

There's nothing like a wagging tail as an ice breaker. Having a pit bill and a dog that looks like a Doberman (the coonhound) can make the initial hello tentative. And I'm never offended because I understand. But there's something so comedic about Harry's huge head and short legs and Lesley's houndy droopiness, that any hesitation is soon overtaken by a need to wuzzle.

I am not aware of any laws against that but the last time I read it, the average American has a personal space of 5 sq. ft. so cheers to you for breaking that circumference!

We are dealing with something similar on DH's side of the family. It's both tragic and incredibly frustrating. I would not will this on anyone and I am very sorry you are dealing with this.

I'm so sorry this has gone on so long. I hope this settles out and things get back to normal for you.

Thank you
It is an on going thing
He became diabetic in his 20's
Quadruple by pass at 46
The last 6 years have been a nightmare with no relief in sight
Part of the problem is no coordination within the medical community
All these specialist don't talk to each other
They send each their reports but who knows if they get read

So sorry to hear that you have to go through all of this
Hope this will get sorted out soon and you will have some rest and your cousin will be taken care of by a pro
Sending a big hug of support to you

Things are now coming together
They are sending him to a nursing home
Under Medicaid (as it stands now and what he is on) he will stay 120 days and become a resident
Now it is just cleaning out his apt and finding a place for the cat

 

[septembersiren]

Found a place for cat
His friend is going to take him

Did you guys see the limited edition Veneta? No wonder it is sold out (on Matches - saw it on the Harrods website, too, though)!

That's what i call genuine talant! Find something new in something old, simple and plain, and make it look chic, beautiful and timeless classic! No wonder it's sold out!

Re the limited edition Veneta, I'm in the minority because I just don't love it. It's attractive and edgy but not for me. I hope the detailing is on both sides.

It's not on both sides?

 

[grietje]

I would guess yes, but I'm not sure. I haven't seen it in real life.

This is very cool. I think we only have this in Mist here in the states.
