r/Eau_Claire

been living in my car , traveling around . came up a bit short.

I tried so hard to go through Marshfield Hospital Palliative and Marshfield Hospital has let me down in pretty much every single way both in Eau Claire and Marshfield (got transferred 1.5 hours out for a second god awful surgery where patient relations had to become involved because I got yelled at for being in pain during a surgery some people don’t need anesthesia for… but I DO, my kidneys are incredibly screwed up).

I had palliative care for awhile before I moved back to Wisconsin and it was great. Basically I didn’t realize how good I had it in Utah healthcare team wise. But that’s all I had there. My friends and my mom are all here and I missed living in EC, I was cripplingly alone, but... I had everything I needed for my healthcare and didn’t have to cry or beg for basic things like nausea control and pain control. I’ve had 2 horrid surgeries here in a row in only 2 weeks and I’m being hugely under treated pain med wise comparatively to just a couple months ago in May. So my chronic pain was treated higher than the acute pain I’m in now, they’re ignoring the chronic pain entirely. Why? Why is it so hard to find someone to help me?

I have a pain management appointment in Minnesota on September 2nd that I made all the way back in March, but the idea of driving to Minnesota every. Single. Appointment. I have an important appt in the Twin Cities late August too and it’s like who do they expect to pay for all this? I got fired for being in the hospital so long the first surgery (8 days). I’m in no place to get another job yet, I can hardly walk and move around for now. I’ve applied for remote jobs and have heard a whole lot of nothing back. I’m on disability but need a PT job to cover all my medical needs/gas to go to these appointments.

I want desperately to have a palliative care place around Eau Claire or at least within a half hour’s drive. I know I’m unlikely to find another one that’ll come treat me at home, that was fantastic while it lasted but I don’t expect to have it happen again. I tried going through Empatia and I tried Marshfield as I said. It seems unless it’s cancer nobody cares even though I’m still dying from it. I don’t want to go to hospice yet because I’m 31 and have at least a couple to five years left with treatment.

Thanks.

After having surgeries that screwed up my entire midsection and will take me months to recover from, and that’s not even counting the emotional trauma from being hyper awake and aware of every single thing that happened during my surgeries.

Hi all,

I've got a small hiking group that meets weekly and we've been talking about what we should do while the weather is too rough for hiking (we may do some winter hiking but it wont be weekly like it is now).

We're interested in getting into something like badminton or pickleball but don't want to spend the ~$55 a month it costs for a Y membership.

Just wondering if there's a cheaper option out there!

I recently moved to Eau Claire and Idk how or where to make friends. A lot of the people I’ve noticed in my area are pretty young. Im 37 WLW so I’m curious about where to make friends with people closer to my age and/or LGBTQ+.

Just like the title says, i like my hair kinda short but i like a more rugged, spiky messy look that i haven't had much lick with other hairstylists here so far, any recs are heavily appreciated

(queer friendly)

Spotted a scared ferret-looking creature over by the UW-eau claire flesch family welcome center headed deeper into campus. All dark fur, possibly black or brown. Not sure if its a lost pet. Didn't have my phone as I was on a run.

Heeelllooooo!!

I’m moving to the area soon and I’d LOVE to find some low or no cost fun to do in the city, since, ya know, it’s expensive to do anything! TIA!

Over on the west side, we've experienced more than five outages in the last few weeks. Went down yesterday afternoon and still down today.

Is anyone else frustrated by this lack of internet service? What's the longest Spectrum outage you've experienced in the EC area? Thinking of switching providers.

You were wearing a cow costume and holding a poster under the Flock camera in front of Woodman’s. I flipped the bird to the camera, and then realized you probably thought it was intended for you. Dear hero, it was not. Fuck Flock. Thank you for your one-person protest. Do you want another masked crusader to join you at another Flock meet-up?

Hi folks! I recently moved to Eau Claire. I'm trying to find good spots to hang out in the evening, specifically to work on origami projects, read, and I guess people watch. I'd love to make new friends but right now I'm just looking for a spot to go and hang out on weekends for a few hours in the evening where I can do my thing and not spend too much money.

Lots of the places that seem to have crowds I'd like don't seem like they're very appropriate places to spend 3-4 hours hanging out without spending much money, lol

Hey guys,

I know there has already been a few posts recently about dental places in Eau Claire but I am looking for recommendations on places for wisdom teeth surgery. I have been going to Menomonie St but would like to go elsewhere for surgery.

Thank you in advance!

We need to do something about this and take control of our home and customers.

Sunday August 30th, from noon to 3 pm in Phoenix Park, we will be holding a protest against the use of flock cameras in Eau Claire County. This is a bipartisan issue that is seeing pushback all over the state, and the country at large. If you believe as we do that flock cameras have no place in our area, we ask you to join us and make your voices heard. Link below to the facebook event, please invite others and share the event as well, so we can get them the flock out of here.

I've never been to Wisconsin, and I don't know what Trempealeau County is like. Can someone let me know about the good and the bad?

Hey all, I’m wondering if anyone knows of any mystery/thriller/horror book clubs in the area? Looking to connect with people in general… making friends in my 30s is hard.

For the last 30 min or so a larger airplane has been circling downtown EC area. I thought maybe they were waiting to land but after the 4th circling, I’m not sure what’s going on. Are candidates all in town?

Let's get something organized, I know there are many others out there that don't want this to be the new normal for our homes.

here is a link to the facebook event. please invite others and share if you can!
