Co-ops are typically very restrictive about sub-lets. Some do not permit any, others will allow for 2 years. If they are allowed, the prospective tenant will likely need to have their financials reviewed and be interviewed by the board. [ Reply | More

hi other surgeon mom :) to OP - gangrene (dry) is usually something that's been going on for a while so unlikely to be an acute issue. i doubt she can feel pulses if he has gangrene. vascular surgeon will likely recommend amp but more importantly will need to figure out leg circulation (CTA v. MRA). may be a candidate for stent or bypass to improve circulation. it's not life threatening at this moment but if it gets infected (wet gangrene), can be a serious issue, hence the need for improved circulation to leg.

Np. It is an infectious protein that is found in nerve tissue- brain etc.. It can be transmitted by eating infected meat, or through surgical instruments that might have been use for brain surgery on a patient who was unknowingly infected with this disease. The issue with this protein is that normal sterilization techniques can't 'kill' it. It's not alive to begin with and difficult to inactivate. [ Reply | More

No, you would not know. It might take years or decades for someone with prion disease to show symptoms. This is why people living in the UK in the late eighties to mid nineties are to allowed to give blood. They had a massive outbreak of prion disease in cows and had no idea when to expect it to show up in humans. I don't think too many people, relatively speaking, actually became infected- fewer than 30, maybe. I am not sure of the numbers. I study viruses, so know a bit about other infectious diseases, but am not an expert on prion disease. [ Reply | More

Then when we found out about it she fought me on it with every method possible (housing rights, tenants rights, disability office even though she wasn't disabled) and on, and on.

I used villeinitalia.com and rented a place in Positano for a week. No regrets. Key exchange happened on the street outside the place. So romantic and soooo much more affordable vs the hotels in the area. We had a tiny patio overlooking the Med - swoon. Just a 1 br nothing too crazy. [ Reply | More

Crew, absolutely. Also swimming and water polo. Then for recreational sports (think well-rounded) have him take up skiing, tennis, and golf. He'll also need a musical instrument to be well-rounded, I suggest cello. Cheers and good luck! [ Reply | More

Screw the musical instrument. It's not necessary at this stage and there is going to be a 2400 Asian to play that instrument anyway. Crew was your best suggestion, it translates the best between UK and America. No one needs a musical instrument for Ivy. No one. [ Reply | More

Ivys suck a football and hockey, so if he's a stand-out at either of those, golden ticket! Basically whatever sport you think he'd become world-class in. It's better to be tops at one than mediocre in a bunch. [ Reply | More

[ - ] 9yo DD is super talkative. today, friend said to her, "Stop following me and talking so much." LOL because I can't really blame the friend. Will DD grow out of this? Any tips/advice? We remind her at home to be a better listener but feel like we need to do more. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

sounds like attention seeking. maybe reward her for being a good listener, compliment her after witnessing a good conversational volley, remind her that conversation is about taking turns and sharing. not uncommon and frankly your friend could have been kinder. [ Reply | More

sorry, I just reread and realized it was HER friend that said that - I thought it was yours and thought it was mean for an adult to speak that way to a child! [ Reply | More
