Not that anyone is asking

I know that standing up and falling down immediately scenario.. caused by your back. I have the same thing.. once or twice a year.. but my back doesn't go numb, it's excruciating pain, and my back is incapable of holding my body up, and as soon as I go to stand up I fall to the floor..

Holly, has anyone taken a close look at that? Could be a misaligned disk or vertebrae.

I think the cause is correctable. I'm sure it is, but it's so minuscule no one has gotten a really clear picture of what's happening, and maybe they don't actually know what they're looking for - like they don't recognize it even when the do see it.

They'll find it eventually.

They're not looking any more... they just tell me to go to a chiropractor...

Oh, I mean researchers. They'll find it, I'm confident about that. Not soon enough, tho.

A really good chiropractor can help. I loved the guy I went to back in the 90s. He was Chinese and a genius.

if only I could find a really good one..I've gone to all different ones , spent fortunes out of pocket... they just don't seem to exist
 
Frank, I have read some of this thread and everything you talk about in regard to being a foster parent is true. 4 years after obtaining a master’s degree in social work I went back for a second master’s because I couldn’t bear to work with abused children in the system any longer. Good foster parents are also few and far between. Many do it for the money.

One of the social workers that I shared a case with was murdered in her house because she was severing the parent’s rights. This was in a town of 100k people and was 31 years ago. It took 20 years to solve the murder. I knew in my heart it was one of my clients. My heart ached for all the kids and I just couldn’t be part of the system any longer.

I'm torn about renewing my license this year. On the one hand, I can give a kid security and the boost of confidence that feeling loved will give him/her. On the other, CPS and family court will very likely rip that all away. And I'm not sure what that does, make them not trust love? Make them angry and hateful? Or will it help them cope? Probly depends on the child, idk.
 
I don't know that living in a shelter, albeit, with their mother .. could be healthy or best for the welfare of Paxton and his siblings. This just does not sound right.

I'm glad you'll be able to see Paxton. Thank goodness for his Grandma - bless her heart.

It's terrible. There's nothing pleasant about life in a shelter.

Paxton's mom won't let me visit him, or him me. At least not at this time. Maybe some years from now.
