esther levy, she is fantastic and very cheap!!! her number is 718-871-6423, she charges $45 and does a great job!!! and for hair tzippora applebaum, also very very good and not expensive, her number is 718-871-5991, tell them that miriam nockenofsky sent you from yeshiva derech chaim
im confused, i thought it was called operation pillar cloud, not pillar defense
so what happened, i thought rabbi meisels was gonna make something for the guys, he told my mother before pesach that soon he is gonna have one. but i guess its just for girls or couples so dx, you are lucky and if he says anything new make sure to tell my mother or father(you know them). anyway how do you people feel about a boy with diabetes going to a yeshivishe camp and not telling anyone about the diabetes. i dont know if they have a nurse but my father’s rosh yeshiva’s wife, the rebitzen cooks there and of course she knows so just in case… i never had any issues when in camp as a matter of fact my numbers are great there so what should i do??
does this camp have a mechina or learning program and are there jobs available now?
i was zoche to have him in seminary and every morning i would bring him a coffee, one day he told me that i will get a great shidduch for thinking of others and that every day i am so concerned and get him a coffee. at that time i was young, not in shidduchim and i laughed it off, but then when i started it was hard and after a while i got depressed and one day remembered what rabbi blumenkrantz said. it gave me chizuk to continue and i am now married 20 years to a great person!!!
okay enough of the girl drama, i’m a guy so i dont get all the crying and whining although i do have 2 sisters. but its most prob upsetting what you girls are going through, anyway are there guys here who can give some advice or tell how diabetes is affecting or not affecting your daily lives. for example no one in my yeshiva knows just my rebbe and magid shuir and i like it like that. i dont feel i need to broadcast it and the right people know and thats fine. is anyone nervous for pesach, i think my mother finally calmed down seeing how i can take care of the issues myself, shew no more nagging!!!
hey did everyone get rabbi meisels pamphlet on pesach, lots of good stuff!1!i wonder when he’s gonna have the shabbaton for guys, really wanna go!!
i dont know but i decided to try cause all the guys in my yeshiva did, so i said enough with my D and im gonna try and i cant believe it went fine. of course i was starved but my sugar was fine. what i dont understand is why on yom kippur and tisha ba’av when i have to fast i have such problems and almost always gotta eat, ITS NOT FAIR!!!
yea well i decided to fast yesterday and i must say it was okay but by the time it came to 6 i was starved and my sugar went a bit low so i went to sleep for a while and when i woke up the fast was over and i was able to eat. but i put in a low basil and it was temporary, i wonder if that was good but bh its over
i highly recommend touro college in boro park, they work with all types of people and have separate nights and floors for men and women. alot of the men are chasidish and dont even know how to speak the correct way, and need alot of help writing and doing the work and the professors are so happy to help, so i suggest you try them. their number is 718-871-6187.
wow, they are sooo lucky, dont know how those people do it. we try soo hard for our kids and then it all comes back to us like a slap in the face. sometimes i wonder if its worth all the effort, do our kids really appreciate everything we do, sacrifice for and literaly suffer and get gehenome
yea well last year i had alot and even got drunk and my sugar was fine so i think im gonna do that again this year. i just wanted to know which one was better. amsel, heineken, or bud
hey yossi sorry but you are funny and its okay to tell jokes we know its coming from someone good. you are not mocking anyone so its fine. any way does anyone know a beer that is good , i can have for purim?
you see i think everyone is forgetting why yeshiva world started this forum, not to say how horrible diabetes is and how “if i would have known then…” thats really not nice and not our choice that we got diabetes. we are here to give each other chizuk, support and advice, not to complain about what we would have done if we would have known. and also mazel i dont think its nice to tell everybody about all the many problems that you had to go through when really its your husband that had to suffer and what can we do about it? are we hashem-the one you should really cry to? i mean how do you think someone who reads your post feels? wow i ahve diabetes and no one is ever gonna marry me because so many bad things happen( at least thats what people are gonna think when they see your post). that is ridiculous, i guess you forgot who is in charge. do you know how many people get married, all is fine even have some children and then either get cancer, diabetes, tumors. very sick children who are autistic or downs or worse and more. i am a nurse and see this all the time so really anything can happen and we have to stay strong and daven to hashem. so please try to write positive things because we certainly can use them
i did not know that he is from a divorced family but let me tell you shloime dachs is an unbelievable person. the amount of tzedaka and chesed that he does is astonishing and i am so proud to know him.
that depends on how much you dont like the person’s looks. if you really can stand the way that person looks then it is only fair to say no because he/ she wont change. for instance if you really want a girl who is small and petite and this girl is tall and a bit broad then she is not for you. on the other hand if you want a girl who is light haired and this girl is dark then it is silly to say no based on that alone. shidduchim are more then looks, there is personality , hashkofos and interests that are more important and so what if you imagined you would marry a girl with blond or red hair, is that really so important? now when there is such a issue with shidduchim and i dont think its right to be sooo picky!!!
depending on the person, some boys want seforim and some boys want a good novel like feldheim puts out and this way you dont have to spend alot of money
oh okay but coffefan you are lucky that that your a1c is just that number i wish mine was like that
hey guys what shabbaton are you talking about? never got any info but maybe its for girls?
all right people the point of this blog is too talk about autism and how to deal with it. there is a blog on autism so check it out and btw the correct thing to say is developmentally delayed and not retarded. its not allowed anymore they passed a law about that. i have 2 autistic children so if anyone has questions whether it be halachic or not please feel free to ask
sorry people but dr ten is horrible really does not know what she is talking about and then there is an inyan of tznius im a boy 17 years old to be exact and the first thing she says is get undressed i gotta check you WHAT is she nuts ? when i had dr anhalt he was great and gave me all the attention i needed. i heard there is a very good dr , his name is dr perkevald i dont know his number but rabbi meisels know it but girls might want to get a lady doctor and again i suggest calling rabbi meisels to find out
totally every time i get sick like even a dumb cold my numbers go high but its expected at least that what my doc said
hey people out there i dont know if anybody knows this but bikur cholim of boro park has a support group for cancer survivors and we meet once a month in their building to talk and have great people come to give us chizuk. if anyone is interested its only for women and girls and their number is 718-438-2020
coffeefan its okay to go high when you are sick esp. when having strep but be careful if you go too high. you might wanna call rabbi meisels he has some great ideas and really knows his stuff and i totally agree with you do not go to the ER my mother used to work there before she got cancer and let me tell you that place is a zoo and not a place for normal people!!! unless you have a real emergency my suggestion is do not visit such a place only yo volunteer if you got time!!!!!
I would totally love riddles if i had an eyeque under 174, im just too smart for you ppl.
yea i know thats what happens to me when i am high i feel ok its when i am low than i sweat and shake and feel neusous so i know i gotta check myself. so i check myself often to make sure that my numbers are good. but as you see i am 17 years old and going thru a growth spurt so i eat all the time which is good for me cause then i have to check myself
yea i know what you mean be happy its really hard and everyone thinks that you are strong and everything will be allright but no one understands our fears and concerns. i have a friend who happens to be a social worker and she is my best friend and i always say without her i would have never made it. she is amazing , you gotta have at least one person to cry to and let out your frustrations, someone who wont judge you and this lady is one of these people. cancer is scary and you gotta have a good support sysetem even when you are in remission
i really dont know whats this sandpaper feeling but when i was younger at night i used to have major bedwetting, it was so embarrassing and i was not a little kid but boruch hashem now know how to control my sugar and the pump is great.
na i did not have a hard time this yom tov but then again my mother makes food that does not have sugar and i was real careful. and yea you can drink water before kiddush and even eat something if your sugar is low. anyone tasted the new honey its disgusting!!!my mother bought it and ew its horrible!!!
well now i dont have a problem but when i first started fasting i did not realize i needed to spike up my numbers and so if i dont eat and still get insulin after a while i go low. i do get very thirsty cause i am a boy an daven alot, i got 2 special needs sibling and a mother who had cancer so i daven and cry alot but now i know what to do and dont have that problem.
of course that is the problem we are talking about. on yom kippur if i go high i just put in more insulin of course that never happens and i try to find out why it happened but usually i go low very low cause i gotta fast and then i need to eat something which i dont like cause its YOM KIPPUR. you know its funny when i go low on tisha b’av and i have to eat it doesnt bother me too much.
i just wanted to let people know bikur cholim on 11 ave is having a cancer survivor chizuk gathering for ladies on tuesday at 11:00 in the bikur cholim building. if anyone is interested its free and they have refreshments, this time is supposed to be great but unfortunatly i cant come my professor in college is making me take a final and wont do it another day!!!
uch i know exactly what you mean cofeefan, people are either plain stupid or rude cause they really dont think before they open their mouths. i recently had cancer so i write on the yeshiva world blog on cancer survivor stories and we were just talking about how unfortunately people mean to be nice but are not and they want to give advice but it would be better if they kept quiet. at the end the maskana was surround yourself with people who care and understand!!!
thank you pashuteh yid you know you guys or gals are treally nice and have such kind words of chizuk i only wish we could actually meet in person cause gosh you people are nicer than my friends!!! i really do have a good sense of humor why just the other day my oncologist asked me ( he is not frum) why i am so happy cause i have so many terrible things happening and i told him well if he lets i can sit in his office and sob but he better have good food, drinks and something interesting to read cause if he is giving me the right i am gonna stay a long time. then he asked me to raise my neck cause he was doing a procedure to block some nerves in my neck and shoulder. he said it might be uncomfortable i told go right ahead but make sure not to cut my jugular otherwise i might ask to take over my job for me. he then told me its good i got a good sense of humor and he is happy to see me like this. the truth is is it worth to sit and cry all the time ? will the cancer or any other problem go away? NO OF COURSE NOT so all we gotta do is daven and ask hashem to help us!!!!
sorry cofeefan but you really need to ask a rov how low is LOW and when you are allowed to break your fast and how much you can eat. i called rabbi weissmandel ( rabbi meisels knows his number) and found that he was the best and really really knows the halachas and is a mumche in diabetes!!!!! you are allowed to carry your pump to shul cause its a part of you this is the psak from rav chaim kaniefski he is my cousin!!!
you are too funny kapusta, cute words and oh so true!!!!
na its okay minyan gal i know you really mean it and thanx for your kind words, truly appreciate it!!! and you are so right about developing a thick skin its just unfortunate that we have to suffer needlessly, i think we suffered enough!!!!
yes i know that my left side of the brain will make up for the deficits that i have minyan gal i just wish people would not think and say that i will regain my memory, its not gonna happen and so what i dont care. its alright that i dont have any memory left and everything needs to be written down i really dont mind it at all!!!! my kids know that i have to write everything down and my husband reminds me of important things. the truth is it could of been much worse , the doctor said i might lose my sight hearing and balance, never walk again and boruch hashem that did not happen!!!! thanx for all the advice and i try to stay away from “well meaning” people but when i must be with them for example in college my teachers well some of them are truly “NOT UNDERSTANDING” and so i grit my teeth and try to ignore them and not let it hurt me.
