I'm seeing ads with Nate & Jeremiah, but I never heard Jeremiah Brent was a wife beater. I also wondered why Charley didn't got to a therapist, with or without Charity. I wonder if Milla's sons don't work, because they aren't always all there. Edited May 18, 2017 by auntjess 2 Link to comment

I get the heebie jeebies when they show her eating, her jaw coming up almost to her nose. Why do they always show eating up close? 3 Link to comment

I think Tony was taken advantage of by Charity. You can tell his doesn't have more than a lick of sense. Bless his heart. He seems like a lost puppy now that she has regained some of her independence, and won't sex him up four times a day anymore. Maybe he will take care of Charity when she becomes bedbound. 3 Link to comment

I think it works like this... you reach in and quickly eat whatever you can get your hand on (waffle fries) before you have to divvy up the food. 5 Link to comment

Kid March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 I can’t take Mila. She doesn’t want to walk because she wants to be taken care of BY her kids instead of taking care OF her kids. 10 Link to comment
Hellga March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 I have never seen their episodes or this follow-up and I already dislike MIlla. When four of your kids have to carry you on a sheet, this is beyond wrong. 9 Link to comment
Hellga March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 (edited) Charity's shirt (or is it dress?) looks like a hospital gown. I just can't get the image out of my head. PS OMG Is that a tie?

I am in occupational therapy right now (I broke my arm three weeks ago and had surgery a couple days later) and yes it hurts to do the exercises, but I can see small but meaningful improvements every day. Plus, while on disability and a bit scared about myself, I have been reading a lot about rehab, and all the articles seem to agree that fear of pain is the biggest factor affecting long-term outcomes. I am more scared of overdoing it but I think I know my body enough to stop before I push too far. I do know plenty of people who would stop at the first sign of pain which is where you don't actually get any improvement even if you go through the motions. And it's important to focus on using the right muscles and stretching the right tendons to do movements vs. simply completing the movement. Nothing a person working with a competent therapist can't figure out, though, if she wants it. I do think Milla is afraid of both the actual pain of movement and of trying to figure out the new life for herself once she is mobile. If she can't be in bed and demand to be waited on hand and foot, she will have to figure out maybe getting a job or at least taking care of the house, cooking, etc. - she is probably really scared of dealing with all of that too. 10 Link to comment

I have dealt with that, as well. I have cerebral palsy, and when I first took exercising seriously in 2014, I thought I was dying after only a few minutes of work. The body will always try to take the easy way out, it's just our survival instincts; there is a difference between 'this is new territory for my body physically' and injury/strain/overuse pain. 1 7 Link to comment

Hellga March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 Even if Charity really is in pain, more opioids is not the right answer. In fact, reducing the use of them may be a strategy. Though if Dr. Now, who has spent a lot more time with her, and in person, not on screen, thinks she is just seeking to transfer her addiction (food, nicotine, alcohol she has already cycled through) to opioids, then I believe him over her. 8 Link to comment

Kid March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 NO sympathy for Charity. She is an addict, addicted to everything, and if her daughter was real smart, she would get the hell away from her.
