Intentionally vague use of "emergency situation" to encourage people to share. If you handle emergency situations as a profession, what's a particularly interesting one.

My mother is mostly recovered, she says it's still stiff sometimes but that's it.

Still working on the kid, he has like 7 doctors and takes a pharmacy of drugs per day but it's only partially effective.

Glad to hear about your mom. Stay strong with the kid stuff, thats a heavy cross to bear.

Should also say my mother didn't technically "break her neck". Supposedly there are small spikes on your spine at the very top where it meets your skull to hold your skull in place. She broke one of those spikes.

He has a bunch of issues, liver issues, lactose intolerant, mostly deaf, little motor control etc. For example he's about to turn 13 but can't use bathroom alone and still watches shows like team umizoomie and blues clues.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.
