Welcome to our weekly stupid question day.

Have a question too trivial or dumb for its own post? Unload it here. Questions need to have some relevance to Austin.

Finally turned on the heat today.

Since it's going to be colder for the next few days, figured I'd better test it now. Anyone else still not running their heat yet?

heading to a concert at brushy street commons tonight for the first time — they don’t have any parking info on their site, so i’m hoping to hear what the consensus is about parking for a sunday night show. thanks in advance! 🙂

eta: do they still have a strict clear bag policy? their website says yes, but posts from a year ago here say no 😅

Ask Austin So what’s everyone doing on this chilly rainy Sunday??

I laid in bed until 10 with the window open, just listening to the rain and burritoing under my blankets; then coffee and eggs; a rain walk with the dogs and some football; gonna make a soup and chuckle while the cowboys lose…

LCRA lake levels website link

4 Upvotes

I know this can be found online with a simple search, but I thought folks might like to grab this link and bookmark it. I don't think this is the official LCRA. However, its a simple one page site to check lake levels in real time. Its so exciting to all the lakes full. Thank you El Nino.

In home Christmas tree decorating

Recently moved to the area and looking for someone to decorate our Christmas trees. I know it sounds lazy, but we have no artistic ability and work a ton so just don't have the time. We checked Thumbtack etc but no luck.

Missing nursing female dog in Austin, Texas

134 Upvotes

Anyone jn the North Loop neighborhood. Living Along Ave F or 45th. There were to ladies who were actively chasing my dog. A nieghbor saw two ladies trying to catch her on 43rd but missed her. Knowing she was heading north. They went up ahead and intercepted her on 51st. That about 5 mins after they missed on 43rd and the last time she was seen on 51st. Please I need your help to identify these ladys. I know they took my dog. It has been a 5 days and they still have not done anything to try and find the owner. They just hunted her down and took her when she was trying to get back to her pups. I know they read that they were doing ok, thats why they haven't returned her. Thats just cold-blooded!

Contact Hector Parra if you have any information 512-554-3409

This dog has puppies at home in the North Star neighborhood

Well.. so much for our intense thunderstorms this morning

0 Upvotes

Forecasted 60mph winds and 1” hail.. radar literally showed an encroaching swath of lighting and torrential rainfall just an hour ago.. and after a brief 15 min drizzle, it’s over?

Does Austin have some sort of protective dome or something? This seems to be par for course for this city lately. Has it always been so? Oh well.. still enjoying my coffee and H.P. Lovecraft book anyway ☕️ 📕

Was anyone at the Switchfoot show last night…

And happen to have a picture/video of Jon Foreman in the crowd, holding hands and singing to a girl with pink hair? That’s my daughter and it was “the best moment of her life” and of course it was not caught on our cameras.
Kind of a long shot I know but here’s hoping!

Medical and PTSD crisis

62 Upvotes

Edit: I am a 41 year old female professional. I have small fiber neuropathy/CRPS and had to leave work in september. I had a lumbar nerve block that was supposed to help and it went wrong. I had a bad reaction, my bladder went numb, and I have a painful infection that won’t clear and chronic pain. I must sound like a basket case but I need medical care But also SLEEP. is a psych ward the only answer? I need CBT or something too I know. But the lack of sleep despite sleeping pills is destroying me.

edit 2: I literally called some of the psych places and they said I wasn’t a good fit because I need medical care and have mobility issues. No one would be able to assist me. do I need a home care aide?

it’s 3:00 am and another night without sleep despite a sleeping pill.

I am in critical medical danger, but not critical enough for the ERs to help me.

I was traumatized in October. Following a horrific neurological diagnosis (CRPS), i had a spinal nerve block that went wrong. I woke up that night paralyzed with pain, sutured to my bed like I was being electrocuted.

The pain went away but starting the next day I lost feeling in my bladder. I developed multiple UTIs and then interstitial cystitis. I am in pain 24/7 and have not slept more than a couple hours a night since September. I have had multiple completely sleepless nights from PTSD, depression, and Medical trauma as it sinks in that I develoepd two disabling neurological diseases since September, one trying to help the other. I have no money, no work, no motivation, severe pain. I get hypnic jerks at night and my brain won’t let my body sleep, even with pills. Dozens of times as I drift off my body jerks awake violently, jumping off the bed. Even awake my legs spasm and cramp, my body contorts. I have been to the ER every other day this week and the last time they tried to bring me to a psych ward.

I have severe medical issues, autoimmune diesease, food anllergies, am underweight, and a psych ward wouldn’t work for me. I’m at a loss. I want to feel safe in a hospital bed with medical care and I so scared. It seems like there are no good mental health resources that are not traumatizing.

I live alone and I feel I cannot take care of myself anymore. I will fall in the shower, I’m not eating. But the hospitals consider this a mental health problem, not medical.

I‘m reaching out in desperation. My body and brain are rebelling and I honestly don’t know how I’m still alive (not suicidal, just how can my body go on).

Who can help me in Austin? On a Sunday? online resources? Individuals that can help? I need care, medical care, sleep, I can barely move. I need help surviving.

Ask Austin Women recommended gyms in Austin

0 Upvotes

Hi I'm looking to join a gym I'm in the North Loop/Hyde Park area. I was wondering what gyms in Austin women tend to like more, I've gone as a guest to lifetime fitness and liked it but I don't have the budget for their membership. Cleanliness and safety are the most important factors to me.

Is there a local place one can purchase a map of Austin showing all the roads and places of interest in an artistic way that one can hang on a wall? Should show every accurately but still be fun and interesting.
