8 weeks post-Milton debris cleanup. People are starting to comment.

Lost a fight with a tree limb, chainsawing after Hurricane Milton. It didn’t hurt immediately, just a dark bruise on the knuckle to my nail. I guess I should’ve used arnica oil to prevent bruising. Hope I don’t lose the nail!

A new (alleged) Munchausen by Proxy case in Australia

A bit of a different story but interesting nonetheless. In Australia over the last 2 days it has just come out that a Tik Tok influencer has been dosing her 1 year old daughter with benzodiazepines all the while telling the world that she had been diagnosed with “Tuberous Sclerous Complex, a rare multisystem autosomal dominante genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumours to grow in the brain and on other vital organs such as the kidneys, heart, liver, eyes, lungs and skin”. Her post included other apparent diagnoses including Focal Cortical Dysplasia, Epilepsy and Infantile Spasms Encephalopathy. It was ultimately discovered because a nurse caring for her daughter saw her Tik Tok videos and knew the “Tuberous Sclerous” diagnosis was not the case at all, and raised the alarm.

Her poor daughter has been subjected to some horrific medical testing/treatments, had 2 major brain surgeries and months in hospital - all for her own clout and to raise money. She would post about living at Ronald McDonald House, all the free packages she was receiving, and often through the subscriber function, directly and indirectly making money from her daughter’s abuse. Horrifically she would also pose videos of her daughter having these “absence seizures” and being covered in tubes and monitors in her hospital cot. Her three children are now in care, and her husband has made a statement stating he had no knowledge of the alleged drugging.
