Dude gently caress these people who said they wanted you to keep this private. What the hell?

If they don't wanna process it then you should at least seek outside therapy. Just to have a sounding board

Okay I read the interesting parts. Why did they take out her blood with surgery? Doesn't seem that smart to me. Did you get a refund?

Save on your bills by giving blood while you're split open for a nice discount

This is going to sound really insensitive I fear but I think it's important to ask.

Have you accepted the reality that there is absolutely no way the woman you knew is ever going to be back in any way, even if her brainstem does a better job of putting her bodily functions on autopilot? I know you aren't expecting her to jump out of bed but reading your posts I feel like nobody has sat down with you and told you bluntly that who she was is gone forever.

I think the OP understands the margin here but there is something to be valued in hope of this baclofen pump was at least instilling a change. He was referring to her in past tense originally.

Brutal.

Overwhelmingly OP. I feel you. If this happened to my partner and hope had evaporated, I'd without a doubt, kill myself in grief.

So I'm sorry :cripes:

I'm sure a ton of people read this when you update even if no one says anything. I'm with enfield here too, hoping you two pull through something okay

Ironically makes me wish I was religious. Ironic because who could be religious in the face of such ambivalent cruelty? I hope things continue to improve, whatever that definition means anymore.

i am sorry op. i cried reading your posts

i hope you are able to stabilize and enjoy the rest of your life with your daughter

Yeah, holy crap op. When you first posted this, I was running everything you just posted in the background, because I felt that. That sensation of luck and intimacy and wholeness oozed from your first couple posts. To see you wax on it and confirm that deep well of love is... emotional.

I'm so sorry too. I hope the appeal goes through. I hope you can always feel you did __everything__ possible

gently caress insurance companies

Seriously.

The Neuro rehab place completely backed out? Even if you could pay for it up front? What the gently caress?

Didn't you mention something about gofundme?

Ugh it's so frustrating that any progress you're seeing is being written off or ignored because the wrong kind of doctors or specialists are misunderstanding or tunnel visioned

It's true piracetam isn't scheduled here but it's because of no one caring not because it is dangerous in any way shape or form. I think that poster and others are maybe worried that it'll be the first step toward something more dangerous though

Find your motivation where you can!

Was wondering if you have tried playing music for her - as long as it isn't too much for her to handle in her current state for some reason.

He did, he played music about a month ago along with some voiced stuff, him talking about a memory. There was some research about music or something. She reacted viscerally to his voice and it was the first step toward some of the more surprising revelations. This is way bigger though.

Oxygen therapy seems like the most potent thing, if you recognize the use of oxygen not only as a means to produce energy but capture free radicals.
I hope the treatments continue to be promising
