My niece was diagnosed and isn't coping well.
2024.11.30 02:50 jamjam_876 My niece was diagnosed and isn't coping well.
This post is going to be long, I'm not sorry lol. My niece (13) was recently diagnosed with t1 diabetes. She is my sister's step daughter, important to note because her biological mom passed away at 31 from a quad bypass, which I am told is a result of t1 (not sure if this is true, regardless her mother did not take care of herself). At first my niece was crying that she was going to d*e because of it and wasn't ready. She was hospitalized for about 4 days because her sugar was steady over 400 and A1C was 14.
After getting it under control and talking to her doctors, she was doing a little better about it. But now every time I talk to her she tells me she hates her life and doesn't want to do this anymore. She cries sometimes too but tells me that she cries daily privately. It breaks my heart because she is only a month in. When she's with me I try to eat the diet her doctor put her on. But if she sees someone eating something she can't have, I can see that she is upset. Samples at costco, we walked past a candy store today, etc. If we're in public she will hide in the bathroom to test her sugars and/or administer her insulin because she feels like people are watching and judging her. She also told me when she goes to the bathroom or changes her clothes he just sees holes all over her legs and tummy and that her fingers are sore all of the time from testing.
She has to take insulin and test every time she eats and lantis (I think that's how you spell it) at night. It's a lot to manage, I can see that. And on top of it all she is being teased at school. She didn't want anyone to know and her teacher asked in front of the entire class "when were you diagnosed with diabetes". She still cries when she tells me this story about everyone turning to stare at her and everyone asking why she goes to the nurses office so often. She's still in middle school, I would like to assume that as the kids mature into the highschoolers that they'll be better about it but we all know that may never happen for some of them.
My sister has told me of a few vulnerable conversations she's had with her, so I feel like she is at least trying to confide in somebody. But in every other aspect, she lives in a mostly emotionally unavailable household. Therapy is out of our means. I just want to know what I can do to help her or make her feel a little better about it or more in control of it. I told my sister that really her whole household could afford to be on the same diet as my niece, but she just tells her what she can and cannot eat, and then everyone else eats whatever they want...which I know can't be easy for her to see.
I told her there is obviously a reason for this that the universe hasn't disclosed to her yet. I offered to get us a gym membership to have something to do she said she would like that, we already do a lot of walking together. And we have started researching keto recipes to cook "legal" versions of the foods she loves and can't have anymore. We also all do group family sugar tests at night and let her use the pen on us. I just am afraid that if she is still feeling so hopeless that she'll never be okay again and I hate to see her so negative. I obviously know this is expected, but I don't feel like her doctors even gave us any emotional advice, just medical. They offered for us to send her to a childhood diabetes type of camp, but it is literally a thousand dollars for 4 days...Is there anything I can do for her? I will answer any and all questions if anything got left out. Thank you all I'm advance.

But it’s clear from character design that Hank takes after his mother. Does this bother anyone else? lol

2024.11.30 02:50 BaleMountainsAdder Constructive criticism?
I want to write something, it doesn't have to have a time limit. I just want to be creative. Here it is:
CHAPTER 1
“Wake up Little Fairy, it’s the big day!”
I woke up, lying down on soft grass, head aching with pulses of pain.
Where the hell am I?
My head cleared of the cobwebs of unconsciousness. The pain permeated my body, horrible and potent. Well, that was the end of my question. I let out a groan of suffering, it was coming from my left shoulder.
My ears heard voices but my brain didn’t listen to them, why would it? It had far more important things to do, namely, making sure I didn’t make any more weird noises.
I opened my eyes to at once be blinded, the sun scorching them. But a few seconds later a shape blocked it out. I couldn’t see them properly because my gaze was still blurry, also because the sun was right behind the mystery person; turning them into an outline.
More shapes crowded my vision. Too close. They were too close.
“Give her space,” A commanding voice spoke with such authority that I tried to sit up and back away.
Well, that didn’t help at all. I fell back down with a startled gasp of pain.
All the shapes retreated from me, and I chose to believe they were human, I don’t think my head would survive anymore confusion right now. A slightly taller shape came into view, not as close as the ones before, so it didn’t block the sun. “Can you talk?” it said.
Surprising myself, I managed to get out a ragged, “Yes.” My eyes still wouldn’t focus on anything besides trying to see something that wasn’t the sun.
“Then get up,”
I blinked, slightly surprised by their bluntness. The shock finally cleared my head. I obliged, I knew not moving just made it harder for everyone, despite the pain.
My arm was hurting like hell so, I decided to use my other arm (wow, who would have thought of that). I used my un-wounded arm to push myself up. But my god did it hurt.
“That’s it, you got this” the person was helping me up now, careful to not touch my hurt arm. I could now tell she was a woman, and despite the gentleness that now lightly laced her tone, that didn’t make them any less intimidating.
I was on my knees now, and I could finally see properly. I was in a field; the grass was so green it hurt. I finally looked at my arm. Oh my god… there was a giant gash along my left shoulder, and my entire arm and part of my shirt was soaked in blood, how I wasn’t writhing in pain on the grass… I don’t know- ah, yes, adrenaline. I think I might have a new favorite thing.
I tore my gaze from my ruined arm to the woman who was helping me, she had black skin and a stern face, with dark brown eyes. The woman was wearing a uniform, like what you would see on a commanding general, and she had medals on her lapel too. She hauled me to my feet and kept me upright with a hand around my waist. “What’s your name?” the woman asked.
It took a second for me to respond because I was too busy looking at the other people gathered around us, they were all fascinating, the weirdest combo of features, one I think was the first person I saw had silver hair and amber eyes.
“Fern-“ was all I got out before falling into a coughing fit. “OK Fern, I’m General Nord. Where did you come from?” I ignored the name situation and thought about where I had been before waking up, but there was nothing, no memory of family or a home, my entire memory was just blank. My eyes widened, “I-I don’t remember, I don’t remember anything,” I was starting to panic.
And then, because the universe had “perfect” timing, I promptly passed out.
What do you guys think?

2024.11.30 02:50 peterinjapan Question about fixing a Mac Mini switch wire
 | Hello guys. I’m taking a spare M2 Mac mini, and putting it inside a G4 cube, and I ran into a problem. The wire that moves from the motherboard to the switch broke, and I need to repair it, or find some kind of other switch. My question is, does anyone know what kind of wire will be inside ? I assume it has to be two different wires at least, obviously very small, and I can melt the casing and hopefully repair the wires. Has anyone ever worked with this wire? Do you have any ideas about what other kind of switch I could hook up? The switch wire will go through a hole in the back of the G4 cube so I can turn the machine on. submitted by peterinjapan to macmini [link] [comments] |

2024.11.30 02:50 -Rick-Prime- انا مش عارف مين محتاج يسمع الكلام ده بس:
امبارح كنت عامل بوست لو حد فاضي يرغي، و كلمني شاب في اوائل العشرينات و من كلامه و حكاويه حسيت بكمية الحزن اللي عنده و مشاكله مع نفسه و مع نظرته لنفسه من خلال الناس اللي حواليه و عدم ثقته في نفسه وكل يومين بشوف زيه كتير هنا.
اتضايقت من اللي حكاه و نظرته لنفسه، و شايف ان ديه مش طريقة تعيش بيها احسن مدة زمنية في حياتك، و اه انا جايلك من المستقبل و بقولك العشرينات احسن وقت في حياتك.
لو انت زيه، اه انت الشاب الراجل اللي بتروح جامعتك كل يوم و بتحاول تحسن مستواك و تدرس و تتفشخ، و بتنزل تشتغل مع الدراسة عشان تجيب هم مصاريفك او مصاريف دراستك، او علي الاقل مواصلاتك
وانت اللي دايما شايل هم اهلك و خايف عليهم و شايل مسؤولية و ساكت، و بتحاول تساعد علي قد ما تقدر و بتبهدل في مواصلات رايح و راجع و بتفكر هتعمل ايه لنفسك قدام و تقعد تحلم بحاجات نفسك توصلها، و دايما مهما كان يومك مقرف و حزين برضو بتحافظ علي ابتسامتك و تضحك و تضحك اللي حواليكو تكتم جواك حزنك عشان عارف انك متقدرش تبين عشان بس ماتشغلش بال حد عليك وعارف ان محدش هيسيب اللي في ايده و يسمع مشاكلك غير نفسك.
انت اللي بتحاول دايما تساعد و تبقي جدع للي يحتاجلك و بتعاني بس في صمت و بتحترم الصغير و الكبير وانت اللي طول عمرك جنتل مع الناس ، و دايما بتسعي بس برضو كل حاجة صعبةو مع ذلك انت ما نسيتش مسؤولياتك.
يعني عايز بس اقولك ان:
-انت قيمتك مش بتستمدها من نظرة الناس ليك. -انت قيمتك مش من الصحاب اللي سابوك. -انت قيمتك مش في اللبس اللي انت مش عارف تشتريه. -انت قيمتك مش من البنت اللي رفضتك. -انت قيمتك مش من المكان اللي انت معاكش تقعد فيه. -انت قيمتك مش في شكلك اللي مش عاجبك. -انت قيمتك مش من الراحة اللي انت مش عارف ترتاحها.
انت اه مش اغني واحد ولا اذكي و لا اوسم واحد ولا اكتر واحد دمه خفيف …. بس افتكر انك انت طول عمرك كنت اكتر من اللي الناس التانية شايفاه ، و دايما بتحاول ليك ولغيرك و ساكت و ده المقياس الحقيقي ليك و وقت لما هتعرف قيمتك ديه كل حاجة في حياتك هتتحسن.
You have always been more than what others saw… and remembering this will always push you forward.

2024.11.30 02:50 OvernightSiren The original is "summer". Caroline's is "autumn". Which artists would you entrust for a Winter and Spring version of "Everything is Romantic"?
IMO I think the obvious choice for a Spring remix of "Everything is Romantic" would be Carly Rae Jepsen.
As far as a winter remix, I'm honestly not sure.

 | ‘23 MY (16k miles) was acting funny few days prior to getting a HVB needing service message. I noticed the range was noticeably low and twice the car would go into drive? Went into the service menu which states HBV needs replacement. Super bummer. Staying positive since it’s covered under warranty. But I was wondering if anything I did could have caused this.
