Gyro Zeppeli posted:I got my booster and flu jab at the same time, and the nurse administering it gave me some great advice I'll pass on: get them both in the same arm. Because it felt like I took a good punch in the shoulder all that day, but at least it meant I could sleep on the other side. I wish I had that option. At our vacc centre, we were given one in each arm, and luckily I got the less sucky one (flu jab) in my right arm which is good because I can only sleep on my right side. Ignore the 'which is your dominant arm/hand', get the flu jab in the arm you sleep on. Especially if you are not an ambi-sleeper.

Man I've come down with some non covid illness for the first time in like 2 years now and it absolutely sucks. I don't think I've ever had a sore throat quite like the one I have now. Not sure whether it's bad because I haven't had one in a while or its just a particularly bad strain. On the plus side it's made me decide to completely self isolate until Christmas because gently caress passing this on to anyone else and gently caress getting ill again before I can see family who I haven't seen in 3 years. Thank god I can just work from home until then and now I've got a great excuse to not go to any of the mind numbing work Christmas parties.

Not sure whether it's bad because I haven't had one in a while or its just a particularly bad strain. We all had a bug a few weeks ago that was REALLY bad, including sore throat. I still suspect it might have been Covid that didn't get picked up by tests. if it wasn't, it was one of the worst bugs I have had for a long time - apparently there is one going around.

(Not hospitalized though). IIRC Spanish flu also badly affected healthy young adults in a way that flu doesn't normally.

(I had a flu jab a few weeks ago as well, so that was a lot of use.) She had a lateral flow test yesterday in advance of a medical appointment, so I guess we'll see if it turns out to be some new and interesting covid variant, or just a really, really horrible cold/flu/whatever.

Mild fever and no body aches or persistent cough so *unlikely* to be covid (or flu, for that matter), but nose alternating between hose and concrete, and a really nasty sore throat and just massive, massive general malaise and tiredness The worst was over in a couple of days, although for me it also turned into tonsillitis which hung around for weeks (but that's a me thing, every time I get a cold it seems to hang around in either my tonsils, sinuses or ears for ages at the "mildly irritating" level - getting old is fun!). FWIW the symptoms are exactly the same as the cold everyone had in winter 19/20 that they all swear blind makes them the first person in the country to have had covid - my theory is that everyone's forgotten just how much colds suck and between that and paranoia about Delta (and now Omicron) it all just *feels* much worse than it actually is - I mean with a couple of paracetamol and a squirt of decongestant I was straight back to normal apart from feeling a bit tired, I feel like in the Before Times I wouldn't even have noticed it.

the Times column goes into some detail:quote:https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/we-adopted-two-brothers-eight-years-later-we-gave-one-back-63skbcfpw pinch of salt etc. The subtext to the bolded question is that the adoptive parents (i.e. the author) by her own narrative could not successfully convince the school or the Scottish children's hearing that there are sufficiently severe needs that would trigger eligibility for respite care; we are not given their reasons. Maybe she really is a crazed disciplinarian who has a bee in her bonnet about her adoptee having undiagnosed FASD and continually compares him to a string of respite care fosters; certainly there have been weirder parent stories. Conversely certainly no-one ITT would automatically assume that all welfare bureaucracy is competently benevolent. Who knows? UK media human interest editorials are hardly fonts of careful and considered presentation of difficult moral questions to begin with there's also the lede of "actually I am a trustee of a major UK adoption charity" which puts perhaps moves "adoptive parents should be given more support" into the dull_surprise.jpg category. ronya fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Nov 30, 2021 |

Just Another Lurker posted:A strange way for her to rationalise about her inability to be a parent? So my wife and I had a baby in June, and even though this is my third daughter, it's the first baby that I've been able to bring home and raise full time. One of the many things you learn when you do this that no one tells you about before hand is that parenting isn't a job or a calling or anything like that. It is taking your life and just increasing the difficulty like it was a computer game. You have to look after this child, learn a bunch of new skills and languages and tasks and everything AND do all your old life stuff. And if you want to cut corners, you can only cut out old life stuff. It's so tough*. I love my new baby and I am so happy we did this, but there are lots of challenging times. The idea of sending your child back because it is too much infuriates me, particularly as a parent who lost one child to stillbirth and hardly gets to see my other child due to the relationship breakdown with my-ex. Edit: Having read the Times Article posted which gives more details I'm not sure. The article has her make her points about how the was a difficult but reasoned decision that is designed to make you sympathise with her. But at the same time, it's just a bit too deferential for me to be sure that we aren't getting a self serving story. On the face of it, if the boy was getting better in the structured home environment during Lockdown, wouldn't you try to keep him in that over cutting him loose and back into the Foster care system? In the absence of more evidence, I think this article is more about the author wanting people to feel sorry for her (with a little bit of education about the Foster care system) than it is telling their story. * = Something that is controversial but all the social welfare/tax benefits that families with children get are well earned and probably should be increased. You aren't a bad person if you decide not to have children, but you are a good person if you do have children and raise them right.
