I'm doing what I can, but I work full time closing shifts & I'm the only one she can rely on. It breaks my heart to see her in so much pain knowing I can't afford the fancy ramp cushions or at-home pulley devices that would be extremely helpful. Any ideas would help! If I don't reply, it's because I don't know how to get notifications on the Android app. But I do check back when I can to read!

She's also struggling with the swelling & soreness when she is in bed. Trying to keep her body warm but her leg cool & elevated. Elevating it with help is relatively easy but on her own it's extremely difficult.
When she walks to a different room like the living room & sits down, she needs to raise her leg up. We've been using boxes with cushions to prop her leg up, but the right height & stability eludes us. Does anyone know of any affordable products on Amazon I could get to help her?

Okay people of CoSo I need some advice, please & thank you in advance!😅

My mom just had her Total Knee Replacement surgery. She's got the walker & a few things the Red Cross are loaning her, but it's not been enough. She is in tears from the pain frequently & I need some ideas for affordable solutions to some of her problems. She struggles lifting her leg to get into & out of bed when I'm at work. She's using a cane upside down to lift her foot, but it's bad with her arthritis in her hands.

Apparently a Russian fleet has deployed against Ukraine, frigates and a submarine, cruise missiles have been used. Explosion reported in Kyiv. Drones are in the sky. Sounds like Russia just threw caution to the wind. My report app is being a bit buggy. Anyone hear anything?

I need help losing weight. It's affecting everything from my health to my mental state. Does anyone have any advice on how to start out small?

I didn't have Google having racist accents with search results on my bingo card for today, but here we are.

Has anyone been hearing what's happening on the Ukraine-Russian warfront today? I'm getting mixed reports about deep attacks within both borders. Sounds like a major offensive happened over the last 24 hours

So, my brand new MSI Pre-built got some kinda wonky windows update that messed with MSI center, and while I keep the LEDs turned off at all times, will randomly have the machine light up like HAL 9000 in the middle of the night, waking me and freaking out neighbors as it is a pulsating, flickering red. After it got me up at 3 am last night for an hour unsuccessfully trying to fix it, going to have to crack it open tonight and disconnect the LEDs manually.Any suggestions for what I'm looking for?

Oh, the Iron E...

Studies find oxygen is being produced by metals on the ocean floor, studies that were funded by a Metals Mining company that now wants to dispute the findings.

Of COURSE conservative Christians think the opening for the OLYMPICS which is based on Greek gods and the Olympians would somehow be about them. They believe the universe is built around them.

P.S. since I am constantly scrubbing my Google adsense and Facebook advertising profiles through their available tools, this is almost 100% what they're advertising as a basic ad.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Temu is so busy with what they can sell, never asking if they should sell it.

Also, I decided from the beginning to not trust this company, it was a gut instinct, and I'm still standing by that gut instinct.

As a slightly late follow up to a previous post a good while back, my next-door neighbor I grew up over the fence from has now been sentenced to second-degree murder as well as interfering with a body.

She killed her abusive boyfriend in his sleep, hid his body for months as she slowly dismembered him and distributed his remains to various areas of the city.

Considering how kind and polite I remember her to be, it only goes to show that anyone can have it in them.

I am 100% down for the tag I've seen going around labeling the election as 2024 The Prosecutor vs The Felon 🤣😂 gotta make this viral

It feels like one of those days people need to smile a little more..
Everyone post a picture of your favorite candy bar :) I'd love to see!

Mine is a Crunch bar...I know it's dated but damn it's so comforting!

Now we just need Trump to step down and out because of bone spurs or something a maybe a real election will havea chance!

Incidentally, I'm proud of myself. At 9:40ish last night PST I was there when the system came to an abrupt halt and everything began crashing. One of my clerks began spreading a rumor "it must be a virus or cyber attack" and I shut him down immediately and said "no, it's most likely just a bad update they didn't properly check!" I really didn't want him making customers think something extreme they could bring to the news and I also felt strongly it had to be an update. I'm proud I was right!
