Hugs @rebeccawelton Our hospice nurses were a godsend, so if you have questions/concerns, you can lean on them. We were in hours to days for several days, but once he stopped being able to drink, that was the big change. I'm glad you are able to be there with him.
He stopped drinking Sunday. Do you mind me asking what your timeframe looked like after that?
I'm so sorry you are going through this. My mom held on for longer than expected I want to say it was 3 days.
Oh that man is a gift (albeit a short one) from the heavens.
Denis can ALWAYS turn my day around with one of his little stories or sayings. I didn't know who Daniel was until I looked just now, maybe he was around before I joined Peloton.
I took an IRL class with him in Dallas years ago pre Peloton and he was just as awesome in person. Its nice that so many people can experience that!

I am so jealous. My friend used to take his classes when he taught at SoulCycle, I think in Santa Monica. She also confirmed he was just a great in person as he seems.

Oh yes. He says he just lightly bumped his leg and the bleeding began. I had a tourniquet in my first aid kit and got it to stop, but he's still refusing to see a doctor.
I had this whole situation typed up regarding finding someone sleeping at their desk yesterday, but lost it. And then felt I was getting too personal anyway (like, I understand *why* the office was a good place to sleep), and I felt twitchy about sharing. Feel free to discuss based on zero information 😂
wait, you caught someone sleeping at their desk yesterday and were going to write them up?
Thanks everyone <3 I get the scan tomorrow and should hear by Thursday! DH and I are supposed to have couples counseling session 2 then but IDK if I;ll be able to focus and kind of want to cancel but that feels like a shitty thing to do.

I mean, based on what you've posted about him (if I've got the right poster), I might just look up the life insurance info and then depending on that info, just let nature take it's course. You want to bleed to death? Be my guest, just don't get it on the couch.

What? No, she was going to share it here.
that's what I was trying to determine, is she writing it up to share with us or is she writing it up like for HR?
mofongo, that seems like an overreaction, no?? I swear I nod off at my desk once a week, and regularly shut the door for a proper nap at least once a week, too! I get my work done, I am salaried and I always have great reviews. Who cares if I take 20 minutes during the day to nod off? lol.

My sore throat is gone, but now I have sinus congestion and sneezing. And I have taken a (generic) Claritin every day since Saturday. I took a (real, meth ingredient) Sudafed this morning and I don't believe in medicine anymore because the amount of sneezing and nose blowing that I'm still doing is ridiculous.

Not really, can’t have medical staff sleeping while doing patient care. Obviously doesn’t apply to everyone, but the rule is across the board.
I actually thought not sleeping while being paid was one of those things that did apply to everyone, barring some unusual one off emergency or something. 10 people are now going to tell me to mind my own business lol.

My friend has a coworker who would routinely fall asleep in her cube, in open view of everyone. She would even nod off during zoom calls. She was written up for it more than once, and then finally got diagnosed with sleep apnea and got a medical exception. Apparently now that she’s been using a CPAP, it doesn’t happen anymore.

no no… I meant I had it all typed out here, as a WWYD. But, all the caveats and explanations got detailed, and then the page refreshed and poof. And probably for the best. LOL 75% would say MYOB. 25% would see the caveats and explanations and think a conversation might be in order.
I’mm not their direct supervisor, though I did supervise them briefly about 3 years ago. And, availability and responsiveness was an issue then.
edit: starburst604’s sleep apnea thing makes a point. It’s really one of those where sometime is clearly going on. Some of which is known, and understood (why I said I get why they took a nap). But maybe more is.
P.S. the bottom line on my cube neighbor’s nap is: please don’t let your alarm go off long enough for people around you to investigate the weird beeping sound 🤣

Whoops, they slept through the alarm and all!! At least they had a wake up time in mind 😆

This really is a kinder, gentler ML. Someone is sleeping on the job, in a cubicle, and the responses are like "they might just need a hug".
Or they just need a nap
If I had my way, workplaces would be like daycares with a dim room full of little cots and white noise playing and anyone who felt like it could drop in for a nap after lunch.
Sleeping at your desk depends a lot on the work you are doing.
I remember being a new first year associate and sitting at my desk at 8 and then 9 and then 10 pm on a Friday waiting for the final set of signed documents to come through on a deal. I'd been there since 8am the previous morning. In retrospect, I should have set an alarm and taken 30 minute naps while everything rolled in from different parties in different countries, some of whom had clearly stepped out to eat their dinner before signing.

Try Mucinex Night Shift - i recently discovered it, and it was the best OTC med I've ever used.

I got allllll my reservations for disney world! There is one that's at less-than-ideal time but i'll keep checking for cancellations. But I've been up since 2am, stupid insomnia, AND i did two lectures at Luce's school today, so i'm dragging big time.

If seasonal allergies are common for you, you might want to look into getting a navage. I have a friend who swears by it.

I’ve never had them before. The Claritin is a “just in case it is my first ever case of allergies” lol I really think it’s more likely that this is my first common cold in, like, 4 years and I’ve forgotten how to act.

You might try calling the restaurant. I tried to book a Disney Springs restaurant online and it showed them as booked, I called and got several times offered and was able to get one that worked perfectly.
Thank you everyone. It's definitely been hard and I keep whispering in his ear that he's done his job, we're all gonna be ok and he can let go. We will miss him immensely but his hard work is over.
A funny story though - he's been very sedated since his fall over the weekend. He hadn't really moved or reacted much at all today. But I was talking in his ear and telling him stories, telling him how much I love him and then I threw in that if he was still here tomorrow I was gonna put him in the wheelchair and make him go to this drum circle thing at the beach that he hates. We laughed about it often because my sister loves it but it's misery to us. His feet started moving, almost like they would with a good laugh. Of course then I just burst into tears.
