The whole narrative around "non essential staff and businesses" . They invented automobiles and horses were deemed non essential and their population plummeted.
As someone who took care of both of my parents when they got older and had health problems, this really hits home.
If I had a dollar for every time a doctor told me, "They've lived a good, long life, it's time to let them go," I could have bought Twitter.
My parents lived many years past the point in time when I first heard these words pronounced over them. Don't ever let a doctor tell you this. Fight for life. It's the most precious thing we possess.
Well said, fren. Good work fighting for your parents. I am now where you were and doctors are still pretty useless. One neurologist told me she was surprised my mom was still walking around considering the degenerative damage on the MRI - that was four years ago and she's still going.π Life IS precious and worth the effort.
Taking care of my parents was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do...but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
The best piece of advice I can give anyone in the same boat is this:
No matter what issue or problem you are experiencing while caregiving, there is already a solution to it. You just need to find the right person who has the answer. No problem is insurmountable.
Also, trust your gut. If you don't like what the doctor is telling you, go research it yourself. Don't be afraid to stand up to him, either. The squeaky wheel DOES get the grease. Best of luck to you, fren!
If you ever need advice, let me know, fren. There's probably not a whole lot I haven't had to deal with. Through time I discovered that I knew more than a lot of the doctors and nurses did. Most of them didn't know how to change a wound vac and I did, thanks to a visiting nurse who was certified in wound care and showed me how to do it. A lot of them didn't know how to do something so basic as how to transfer someone in and out of a wheelchair. What the heck do they teach these people in school?
Thank you, I appreciate the offer. You're right about the derth of knowledge among some in the medical community, we've been fortunate to have excellent visiting physical therapists but many of the doctors just hand out drugs and shrug. The internet is a blessing, lots of groups out there to discuss any problems that come up or research new issues.
Have a blessed day.π
Indeed! They only want healthy slaves. Anyone else is a nuisance yo them.
Yes, I agree, and yet they make everyone unhealthy and kill of young people with their vax.
I guess they don't mind the attrition of the healthy slaves either.

But what if theyβre hardened leftists mothers? Can we make exceptions for them?
We do the best we can to remain on the side of right/good.
I mean, Jews are disposable though.
