Frequent flyers with my son. We tell all medical people over and over and over, even through shift changes what to watch for. Average time in ER is 9 hours. Our rule is never leave him alone in ER ever. Ever. And then when he’s on a ward we go through same speeches each shift and each new medical person. And then we leave to get some sleep and hope hope hope these people listened and really paid attention.<br/><br/>A lot of pain will cause a seizure. Downplay it and there may be a traumatic seizure. I was woken 1:30 am by a doctor asking how we usually treat his seizures. By this time he was 1/2 hour full seizure. At 35 minutes status he went straight to ICU. <br/><br/>WTF did a DOCTOR mean asking US this when the nursing staff supposedly had this information directly from us. And I leave a document IN HIS ROOM on protocol. 3 week stay, twice in ICU. Because someone or someone’s didn’t take us seriously or listen to my son. Or, even watch over him.

Suddenly, no notice ahead of time to each clinic or my son, his insurance company AND Medicare/Medicaid in March announced each year each professional must have their own referral from the family doctor, with each diagnosis listed for each doctor and therapist before any more appointments are allowed. <br/><br/>So, for example each of the 3 different therapists in the outpatient therapy clinic (OT,PT, and SLP) need separate letters of referral for 2026. The 3 doctors in the same clinic for neuroscience need separate letters. The GI doctor needs one. The Alzheimer Clinic needs 2: the NP and the Clinical Geriatric Psychiatrist. <br/><br/>9 separate letters to be faxed by the family doctor office. Then we will do it again in 9 months. Oh, and no notice to us. And the insurance company and Medicare/Medicaid, and the hospital system don’t have any responsibility to inform the patient. It’s all “find out the hard way” when you show up to your appointment and are told it’s cancelled because the patient didn’t get this taken care of. <br/><br/>Do you realize the time this takes for family to make to ask the family doctor for each letter and we are to supply each name, each diagnosis, each address, each fax number. How many patients and family advocates are capable of doing these separate requests? What if I don’t have English as my first language? What if I’m not quite educated enough to understand what must be done? What if I was traveling or sick and unable to get this done? What if I had no idea now I have to do this over and over now?<br/><br/>What if I had not asked the right questions the first time we ran into the problem? We solved the one for last week but today I learned the full scope of the problem because I got a call from the other neurologist’s appointment scheduler IN SAME CLINIC who told me we will be cancelled from an appointment we’ve waited for SIX MONTHS unless we get a new referral order. I asked “But we got one last week! For same office! Oh-ho, silly me, didn’t I know we need a separate referral for each doctor? No one told me last week. And what if I had not just now on the phone asked the right questions?<br/><br/>Ok, now I have to GET AN APPOINTMENT with the family doctor and bring a list of each professional and their contact information for each request. I have 8 days to complete this for our next neurologist appointment for seizures. We saw the neurologist for migraines same office last week. We go to a different clinic for Alzheimer’s in 3 weeks. I could just scream. <br/><br/>TL; DR: The insurance and government healthcare programs have made paperwork requirements even more difficult and time-consuming. Someone is “paying for this”. Who do you think pays?<br/>#UniversalHealthcare #Medical #Healthcare #Insurance #Medicare #Medicaid 2026-04-06T21:14:54Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxddlsc35ktue6nntsjnke8gvaugwrz7w6jzywrznzkl87ygc9ekczyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ewm3kgtl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqzfg4z5ejtkd66k54dj68fpmkxlk7vl6ygu9wjdg76msv5arj47qpdvuse'>nevent1q…vuse</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Fun color and shape definition to go with a very good portrait! 2026-04-06T03:11:37Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxtgwnma8jwwgfz4zkfafcq63jhuv9nejwc2096gf53w04vk904nczyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ew5n7eww #SilentSunday<br/>#Crystals<br/>#Yellow<br/> <img src="https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/116/352/830/772/474/374/original/784a5b71b8a5257f.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-04-05T15:35:05Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf80px38q6xzy4pndk6dvqrnv6y0v7quehs5v7tg6znu9v9hz266czyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ewav80da In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsymu3qg0wyqrj60xxp59uzmt6gs3fm5wnlwsrgp43fzavcj04p8asx83x7p'>nevent1q…3x7p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Aha!

Sometimes I wait a while befor I stare at an iPhone photo to see if I want to monkey with it a bit more in editing. I try really hard to present a photo in a faithful photo with true color as I saw it in the moment I took the photo. It’s mighty tempting to boost the color because over the years I see more and more people doing this. The saturation is too deep or contrast too sharp. Landscapes are tricky because so many use HDR to heighten a fantasy appearance far more magical than reality. Or maybe I’m just not validating when someone else is seeing the image super pumped up as their own reality. #MyPhoto #MyPhotography #iPhone #Chalcedony #Rock <br/><br/><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2rWiTQN">https://flic.kr/p/2rWiTQN</a> 2026-02-12T17:59:04Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs89yg44z7r93gsf0n64mjzk4a2268rme97f405kaenehkqu73402szyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ewngqenj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0wczme7lgplh3n8fejeqdvtv0ukapu7sppjk87nlmt6nyjyz9wxcye033a'>nevent1q…033a</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Awww, so are we!

Before I read the alt text I was zooming in to see the white beads detail of this scarf. Ha-ha that it was the heads of your blocking pins! And then I was glad to see the interlocking foam pad used for it. I just bought 3 sets in different colors to use in the garage. I haven’t used a few yet so I’m thinking about resurrecting a crochet scarf project since I now have a way to block it. <br/><br/>Also, since I see two images across when I view posts in my stream on mobile the composition of vertical stripes on left with you straight forward head on for the right was pleasing.

I got a “curry combo”. It was a Too Good to Go order through the app on my phone. Restaurants and groceries with delis who offer a “surprise package” for $6.99 instead of full price when they are close to closing for the day. <br/><br/>We ate it, splitting 3 ways with extra rice. Very necessary because so much spice!<br/><br/>We figured out the fried breaded chicken - which is far better than American fried chicken. Of course we guessed possible lentil soup or sauce. Okra seems to be on left bottom. The other things are a mystery. I believe I discovered in image search that the small round orange thing must be a desert called gulab jalum. No idea anything else. Maybe the white sauce/ soup is fermented yogurt something? Saved Drew and I from burning up too much.

I found this idea on Reddit for the sub-Reddit I follow for collectors. <br/><br/>It’s been frustrating for years that I didn’t have a workable way to use the height of a shelf space to display specimens better. Right now I am just fitting in the new cases. Next I will need to locate my battery-operated small display lights.

How can any Congressman or Senator approve this way of doing business? A “Trump Card” is ludicrous. Making US visas available by buying the gold or platinum card should make those visa applicants dry up to only a trickle instead of the needed steady stream. But for businesses buying their visa. Sounds like extortion.

Just learned the Really Big Show is scheduled for next weekend at the State Farm Stadium which is just 1.5 miles down the road from our home. Somehow I think they needed the place where the Super Bowl is held when in Arizona. Probably the hottest ticket around. <br/><br/>Trump is coming, of course. I bet the whole Cabinet comes. And likely foreign leaders too, wanting to get in on this. Do you think security will be tight, much? Somehow I think all the Republicans in House and Senate will be coming. All manner of religious leaders. I bet leaders in other countries will also try to get in on this. I have a headache already, thinking of the drama. <br/>PS I don’t think I made it clear- the gigantic stadium is where the funeral for Charlie Kirk is going to be. <br/>#EpsteinFiles #WhereAreTheEpsteinFiles #Charlie #CharlieKirk #Trump #Opportunists 2025-09-14T03:56:04Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvnrp2nrqusu5x42rgmfrruwjtskjd03nje4trgc50z3hxpnkln4czyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ewrgtzp9 Peacock at the library today. We like going to the Glendale Public Library next to the Saguaro Ranch Park. They’ve been known as the library with the peacocks for many years. I’d read that due to complaints (by neighbors?) the flock has been reduced from 160 to 20-30. Supposedly several zoos or out-of-state parks took them. Looks like maybe the younger birds were left, maybe a year or two old. This fellow greeted me as I parked. #Peacock #Bird #Glendale #Arizona<br/> <img src="https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/200/331/214/351/426/original/b004277acdb6b52b.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-09-14T02:39:18Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsv9vzwdcduantd9rluzfveaagm0nyj7s8ch4vxnxx20gljyz7av7szyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ew4sprgh Per Jim Stewartson in today’s article, I quote because this is important. <br/><br/>“This is the fundamental error too many privileged liberals and Democrats make—that we are still engaged in “politics.” Charlie Kirk was engaged in a holy war against America, against the Constitution, against Black &amp; brown people, against women, against LGBTQ+ people—and against everyone who didn’t look like him.<br/><br/>You cannot only vote your way our way out of this scenario. The government has every intention of following through with its plans to dismantle the Democratic Party and democracy. We’re going to have to stand up, and put ourselves at risk, to be fearless in telling the truth no matter what they threaten us with.<br/><br/>War is hell.”<br/><br/>If you don’t understand this, you are even more in peril. <br/>#Fascism #HolyWar #Amerika 2025-09-13T00:17:53Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8har7ue0hy2wk2ecg2r8v2myychnsgpzuz28wud672j02sqfl20gzyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ew9lsd85 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsraq5qs23n7srs4yk9rxds763q4kn06g9rs7waues32e907csnf0c5g9ptv'>nevent1q…9ptv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Its very sad to see generational hatred being taught to young children by their parents and churches. These people are pulling their children right out of schools for homeschooling. Then there are hundreds of thousands taken out of public schools into charter schools and private schools. The segregation here in Arizona is shocking. <br/><br/>Consider that as an adult I have lived in these states: Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Connecticut, Missouri and Texas. You can imagine my surprise moving to Arizona when I see the most racism and religious intolerance here I’ve ever seen in my life. <br/><br/>I’ve never seen such hatred towards LGBTQ and especially trans, before. Same for stunning intolerance for people who are homeless/unhoused. Classicism is a huge problem here and there is a real disdain for teachers and those who are highly educated in much of the state. I wish very much I could hang on to some pockets of equilibrium and diversity here but I’ve never seen them. And I’ve looked. 2025-09-12T22:36:25Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsd8zgs6k9mxde65509hpdxl32xup0rq4rs62rr58azl7avmn6tvzqzyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ew2hkdtd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvsxmt8cvhkf0ljrqa9ftu6f2zf8e89vhgh5ssvhrxdwhs3px5r2qew0k86'>nevent1q…0k86</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Maybe I could feel that way about 50 years ago. But I never saw hate from people I know and live with like the blind fury hate against people I care about. It feels like “both sides-ism” to make it a simple issue. It was the case for most of my life I could see opposing sides had more in common than not. <br/><br/>But where I’ve lived for 21 years now I have seen only hate from one side, and here it’s the majority side. The hate I describe is not just ideology, politics, religion, racial, etc but truly hate that is actions that are cruel and inhuman. Remember this is a state where the most extreme of the MAGA, white supremicists, white nationalists, Christian Nationalists, ProudBoys, 3percenters,MinuteMan Militias, TurningPointUSA and more are everywhere. The cops here are overwhelmingly white supremacists and everyone knows it. <br/><br/>Arizona is internationally known for hate crimes. Does anyone here not of the majority I’ve listed above ever feel safe? Are there any of us “on this side” that these people acknowledge as having more in common than not with them? Not that I’ve ever experienced here or even heard of. <br/><br/>I doubt you belong to a neighborhood-only group where you are called NextDoor. I spent 1/2 hour reading up on posts there from neighbors. Probably about 200 families is our NextDoor determined “neighborhood”. I rarely go but 3-4 times a year to catch up if someone lost a dog or found one and for me to post things I’m giving away. It was the most bizarre (to me) mix of Republicans and MAGA alternations between tears and prayers for Charlie Kirk, lots of praying, lots of people announcing they are ready to join militias and vigilante groups to defend Christian white folks, and…nothing else. <br/><br/>If I ever see some kind of recognition here that others are even allowed to be left in peace or at least not attacked, maybe I will go back to an ecumenical attitude again. 2025-09-12T17:54:50Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyk7yu90jxcj45pjlwn7g4h9af697zls98v4snl54a9npsmd49k3czyqxah0mw4ketkc9jlug0ma64nk9l09hezv5xjlmxrqx67tu40g7ew74d0uh Wow!
