My mum has epilepsy, she was diagnosed at 21, she she is now 60, it was pretty well controlled when I was growing up, my mum is married to my dad and has 4 children, her youngest child, my younger brother has Down Syndrome. In the past 10 or so years it's steadily declined. She is on various medications, tried various medications and has a VNS but she still has regular seizures, unfortunaly what used to be absense seizures are now drop seizures (sorry I can't remember the technical term) so she's had some pretty nasty accidents, but fortunately nothing too serious.
She's had a handful of times where she's been in what I think is postical psychosis where she has ended up in hopsital (through my dad admitting her) she will be delerious, agitated, doesn't sleep, not making any sense and she can be in this state for a week or two.
The last time this happened was around October time where she was in hopsital for around 2 weeks. Today she seems to be in a psychosis state, not making any sense, seems rather distressed, not at all acting herself.
I worry that she will end up in hopsital again. I worry that one time this happens that she won't come back. I worry that the amount of seizures she has and the amount of times she falls and bangs her head will permanently change her.
I worry about my dad and how feels inside. I worry what my younger brother thinks and what he understands. It's not something he can vocalise or explain.
I'm sorry I'm not quite sure why I'm writing this, I guess I'm just feeling worried and helpless.
To know: I'm a high-funtioning autistic, so I tend to view things rather literally.
In so, I'm refreshing my basic grammar knowledge and I see something rather confusing: most every "complete sentence" diagram of any complexity poses the subject/noun at the front, opening of the statement.
To wit: https://www.scientificpsychic.com/grammar/grammar.jpg
Then comes the "predicate".... (wait for it) ... ~after~ the noun/subject.
What gives with this nomenclature? With a majority of classification systems allowing their nom-de-utille to reflect the nature of the thing defined (mostly, oftentimes, usually, and ignoring the anomalies in the minutia...) is the canon, at least among English speaking westerners.
*English? Why do I do I need to learn English? I'm never going to England.
~ Homer of Simpson
Even considering proper names in such..... I find it absurd that such a base level distinction should be labelled so paradoxically.
Even if a predicate does in a fashion "pre-dictate", it does it after the factual noun subject. It's a posticate. Really.
Correlated Query: Is a noun a defacto fact, simply by it's existence? Or must a fact contain an action, such as a predicate? *
Also: after seeking popular definitions of "predicate", it would seem it's a bit of time travel. As it is said in physics: "There is nothing in the laws that forbid things from happening backwards." So I suppose the same holds true for grammar.

Or does this have something to do with the fact:
We drive on a parkway,
and park in a driveway.
~shrug~
And where does the question mark go in that rhetoric-all question above?
Le sigh
In advance to all who respond in good spirit: Thanks & Namaste. '
EDIT: * A fact is an act, as hidden in the word. So perhaps the query need be reversed:
"Is an act a fact? Or must there be a noun to accompany the acting fact-tion^? to establish said fact as "true" or "false" or "other"?
I dont know if I am the only one so I just wanted to throw the bone out there and see other's experiences.
Recently I had some pretty bad seziures. I had to go to work after. I tried calling out but could not. I dont have health insurance so it's not like I can get a doctors note whenever I need. O had to suck it up and 3 hours after my episodes, I had to clock in and go to work.
It was the closest I have ever been to hell. I had a migraine, my body felt like it got hit by several trucks, my bones felt like they were vibrating, and even though it's a super simple job, I was more than a little confused from time to time.
Sometimes at work I will have the aura feeling and I have to push through. I can call out or else I wont make any money and be left to starve. Its brutal most of the time but I get it done...
I was wondering is there anyone else who has to rally and push through, and if so, what are some of your experiences?
Also I just feel super lonely all the time. I dont have much support, my support team is small. They cant ever really understand what I'm going through.... Thanks so much for the read and I hope everyone has an amazing day for real for real.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
It really does, I swear!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
I pick myself up from the ground Unclench my jaw and look around Things are different, so it seems Busy yet still Familiar but unseen I take in my hands ink on pale white An unusual vibrance which there wasnt last night Sounds are clear, bell like no haze I'm still confused in a lifeless gaze A contorted shoulder and bleeding tongue taste Somehow I find peace in this postical state

U redu, treba propustat ilegalne migrante bez papira koji bjeze iz Pakistana zbog gradanskog rata u Siriji.
To su sve jadni, ponizeni i potlaceni ljudi. Nemojmo zaboravit na Domovinski rat kad su nasi ljudi bez dokumenata, skrivajuc se po sumama, bjezali do prve sigurne zemlje, isto kao i ova sirotinja, odnosno do Grenlanda.
Mene samo zanima dokle? Znam da vecina nema odgovor na to, jer niti ne misli na to, taj neki altruizam im je pomracio um do tocke da prestanu razmisljat i samo misle na osjecaje jadnih ljudi koji pregaze pola svijeta da bi se docepali Njemacke socijale. Bitno da bude osmjeh na njihovim licima kad dobe drzavne stanove.
S druge strane neki poznaju jednog lika koji je doselio iz Pizdistana koji sad radi u skladistu i to je dokaz da su svi ti ljudi fenomenalni i da treba pustit milijune ako ne i desetina milijuna ilegalnih imigranata iz svih dijela svijeta u Europu.
Al svejedno, dokle? Dokle treba pustat svu jadnu mizeriju ovog planeta da ilegalno ulazi u Europu? Isprva su bili Sirijci koji bjeze od rata, sad su doslovno svi koji zive u siromasnijim drzavama. Dokle? Ima li kakva kvota? 10 milijuna? 100 milijuna?
Mozda sam ja glup il nesto, ali mi to fakat nije jasno i ne shvacam sta mislite da ce to postic na duge staze? Mozda mrzite Europu i Europljane pa zelite vidjet njihovo fizicko unistenje jer rasizam il nes? 🤷🏻♂️

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
