♣ I'm unsure if I'll be available today. Possibly tomorrow. I don't know what activity is gonna be like for a bit.

Hospital and medical mention under the cut.

I just got a text from my uncle saying my grandma (my only living grandparent) is in the hospital with congestive heart failure. She's had a lot of issues with her health in the past year. She had a stroke in February last year and has been in and out of the hospital with issues with dehydration, utis, mini strokes, and all sorts of other things since then. There was one instance where we really thought we were going to lose her.

She's an older lady, in her mid 80s, so it isn't as if she's particularly young and she's loved a full life but...

I don't know what to do or how to feel. I don't know what I'll do if I lose her.

Im not okay right now. If I do end up writing it'll be fluffy cute things. I can't handle confrontational or angsty threads rn.

Social transition being seen (by some) as this super easy thing that isn't as hard as real transitioning (medical) is bullshit. Be critical of the idea that there are some trans people who just "have it easy" because they are trans or because they are trans in ways you may not be.

Social transition is just as difficult, hard, and rewarding as medical transition. Maybe it is not as hard for some, sure, but that is not the same as thinking that social transition is inherently easier or lesser. If you're socially transitioning, your voice still matters.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #not to mention that so many people DO want to medically transition but *can't* #so it can be even harder for some when they feel social transition is their only option when they don't want it to be #but social transition carries its own risks and challenges and again rewards #and i've seen this idea plenty where it's like 'oh you don't GET my struggles because you're SOCIALLY transitioning' #and while yes i am different than some trans people to say i'm struggling *more* if i'm the only one medically transitioning is??? huh???? #i don't buy into this idea that social transition is never scary because you don't have the boot of the medical system on your back #(though non-med or pre-med transitioning people still face issues in medical settings so even THEN we aren't seperate) #like there's very few ways you can separate my issues as a medically-transitioning person and the issues of somebody who isn't... #...and by that i mean there's few ways you can separate our issues so that mine trumps theirs or that i'm seen as like... trans but More #does that make sense? #medical transitioning is important but that doesn't mean it is *more* important or that only *it* is important #you can support us who are medically transitioning without erasing the experiences and struggles of other trans people #and plus... so many of us who are medically transitioning NOW are the people who socially transitioned THEN #and dare i say i despised social transition more because of how hard it was? medical transition has been (more or less) easier... #...in that i can just *be* now

gee i wonder if the issue could be at all related to the fact that the current treatment plan for his chronic pain consists solely of FUCKING IBUPROFEN

#i get that they're trying to make the point that house's pain flares with emotional distress #which is true! he does have psychological problems that need to be addressed! #but also. also. in addition. #there's this other little tiny minor factor worth mentioning which is #there is muscle. MISSING. from house's THIGH #ibuprofen and hobbies are not a suitable treatment plan for this condition #i'm not very knowledgeable about chronic pain but there have to be more options than this or vicodin #yes house has addiction issues #but what's happening here is not about that!! #he literally needs MEDICAL TREATMENT and he's being denied it! #house staying clean from the specific drug he was addicted to AND being on a proper pain management plan #are not mutually fucking exclusive #house md #house season 6 #house 6x2 #i need a tag for #house's chronic pain #house pain management #op

Hey y'all! Do you have any advice about making smoothies? Like, what kinds of fruit and veggies go well together, what combos very much don't work, and especially if you have any advice on what frozen fruits or veggies work best. I am thinking about trying making smoothies but I know pretty much nothing about it lol

#the person behind the yarn #food mention #I don't even know where to start when it comes to making smoothies #except that I should avoid coconut (allergic) cucumber (possibly allergic) and bananas (sometimes allergic) #and that I should probably stick to frozen fruits and veggies as much as I can #because I have histamine issues #and while I tolerate some fruits very well #some fruits I do not #so this will be a bit of trial and error #but dang. I just really want to be eating more fruits and veggies before I end up with Yet Another Vitamin Deficiency #(my body processes several vitamins and minerals Very Wrong so I have to take...a lot of supplements) #(plus I am on medication to fix some of them that messes up other vitamins. it's a process) #and when it comes to ways to eat frozen fruits and veggies smoothies seem to be the best way #or maybe not best but most efficient? #I tried with non-frozen fruits and veggies but the produce in Tennessee goes bad SO QUICKLY #or at least so quickly compared to where I used to live #so...frozen! frozen fruits and veggies

Some (late) holiday photos of the boye~!

#cats #holiday #OUGHH....... barely could even get these edited and posted... my mysterious sickness flare up has been sooo bad the past few #days.. I didn't even go to the usual obligatory family christmas I was supposed to attend (!!! health issue/medical mention in tags below) #My stomach issues basically put me in a constant state of uncontrollable shivering/body shaking + nausea + sometimes rapid heart #rate. and when it happens at night that makes it like.. nearly impossible to sleep when you're violently shaking + you can feel your heart #so strong + you keep having to run to the bathroom every 5 minute to cough and gag #and throw up and so on and so forth. etc. So I went like 40 hours without any sleep almost for christmas eve and all of christmas day #last night I finally got maybe 2 hours of sleep in between the nausea and shaking and stuff. and then today I was able to get a few #hours of sleep in the afternoon. Today I tried taking an anxiety mediciation a doctor gave me in case it was anxiety related (it's apparent #ly used to relax people and works in the moment. rather than like Anxiety Mediciation that you have to take for weeks to see any effect #because I think this isn't actually acting on your brain chemistry it's judt like..a mild sedative or something.) but all that did was make #me dizzy and sweaty lol. I;m glad I slept a little but I'm just still frustrated that I don't feel normal. I started having these #'episodes' (with the stomach issues + shaking + heartrate + nausea etc.) like at the end of october. And usually it will happen for like a #few hours at a time. or i'll lose sleep one day and then be fine the next. but this has been like nearly 3 days of feeling weird. so is #getting kind of annoying... It's funny too because I was so so productive like.. literally the few days before. I was feeling much better #and I was working on my game and blah blah. But then.. random issue flare up out of nowhere of course.. yaayy.... happy holidays to meee lo #I did at least see two random ducks outside of my window in the yard area for christmas. and havent seen them since. So it's like.. hrmm.. #pacing around my room nauseous and shakings and etc. but at least... hello.. two little ducks placed there just for me :3c #Now I get anxiety every night which I'm sure doesn't help/could exacerbate whatever underlying genuinely physical issues exist. But after #like 2 nights of 'I spend the night sleepless and incredibly uncomfortable just sitting in the dark sick' then bedtime is like.. dread... #I even was trying slapping myself in the face in desperation to see if somehow that could shock my body out of whatever the hell it was #doing lol.. up at 3am holding ice cubes in my hand and hitting myself in the head and crying from exhaustion and thowing up.. literally #ridiculous cartoon character feeling... AAANYWAY!!! At least I have baby boy pictures. and I have lots of doctors appointments so hopefully #whatever the issue is can be sorted out at some point. I don't know much about ibs but hopefully maybe something like that that I could pos #ibly take medication for and not something more seirous or anything. Maybe there's a food I'm secretly intolerant to or whatever. #And I did at least post a sims holday video actually timed for the holidays so that's something. I havent been productive really latrely #though obviously.. I can't even play games or small tasks when in that state since I'm just SO physically uncomfortable. Nausea and heart #stuff are THE hardest physical sensations to ignore.. BUT yeah... hoping I shall sleep at all tonight. hopeing to get like 3 productive #things done.. at some point... at least SOMETHING... lol..... *** *** ***

Me: I'm going to get back into writing fanfiction for a fun creative writing outlet, while I work on other humanities and social sciences in classwork :) Also me: Has now read at least one official medical study, multiple interest/support group and government reports, and several online testimonials re: House's possible amputation vs. non-narcotic pain treatments sans amputation, and now has a pretty good mental chart going of decidedly STEM things.

I have been tricked into researching STEM. Creative writing has betrayed me.

#house md #gregory house #fanfiction #hatecrimes md #if anyone is interested my research so far: it seems like while phantom limb pain is likely #it is manageable using the same things he would otherwise use + other things not otherwise available #and is more likely to go away and/or be less severe #the study conducted using data from people who suffered multiple kinds of chronic pain shows 81% were glad they amputated #not to mention that the House TV show “we create medical fact” ethos suggests House has a random cure for phantom limb pain #based on that one s6 episode #I now know many weird medical things that I only sort of understand but could possibly be used in writing #Is this what being a House screenwriter feels like? #This explains why some episodes are medically dubious: a bunch of humanities majors with loose grasps of medicine just rolling with it #Anyway I'm still unlikely to write a longer fic about this specific issue unless I do more research over time

Don't you find the strict rules of society in Japan overwhelming for you and the kids?

not one bit

#i can’t express how safe i have felt here versus the US over the past several years specifically #no guns… good healthcare… clean environment… good childcare benefits… good food… #no strong religious chokehold permeating society #vaccines and masking aren’t a moral conundrum #functioning public transportation system #functioning postal system #don’t have to worry about people randomly yelling at you #many convenience stores open 24/7 #focus on seasonal eating so produce tastes better and you appreciate it more #i can walk the streets at night #in my city all childcare costs and child medical costs are waived up to 3 years old #cost of childbirth fully covered including a week long stay in the hospital after #you can drink the water #early public education has a focus on community and natural science #credit cards are automatically set up to autopay out of your bank account #my company does my taxes for me #did i mention no guns? #i could go on #like i have my philosophical issues with the country for sure but my base needs are covered and that means a lot as a parent

Apologies for continuing silence (those of you still wanting to interact, lol) I'm in the process of packing. My wife and I are relocating back to her home state due to a parent having been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. We're currently in the middle of packing, getting our cards ready for the 2,300 mile trip. Please know that I AM intending to return to this blog. I'm also on my reserve laptop, as my desktop officially died back in the last part of January.

Just, between this, working over forty hours at my job per week. (I'm also losing this job, and looking from WFH- so if anyone has any leads, please let me know.)- and also doing grad school, I'm perpetually exhausted.

Thank you for staying here, and thank you for checking on me.

-regards

Jazzmun.

Some of y’all don’t want to talk about is how second and third hand weed and vape smoke can be extremely harmful and debilitating for many disabled people.

I don’t care what you do but sometimes your actions will affect other people in negative ways, yes even if whatever you’re doing helps you.

#ableism #competing needs #I say things #I get that it’s helpful for a lot of self medicating and chronic conditions #and that’s wonderful and I’m so happy that it’s being legalized in more places #but that still doesn’t change the fact that anyone with respiratory issues will be fucked over at your expense #not to mention people with sensory issues #idk the way some of y’all act about people who dislike weed or being around it simply because of the smell is…. #very telling

Just a personal vent about family health drama 🥴

Just over a week ago, my stepdad died, and then at 8am this morning I find out that my father was rushed to hospital last night with a suspected heart attack! He's the sole carer for my stepmother, who had a colossal stroke about 10yrs ago, and he's not got anyone who can keep taking care of her while he's recovering from what turned out not to be a heart attack but something related to a previous health condition...

Can the parental health drama please just pause for a bit??

*wheeze*

As it happens, I'm going down to see both my mum and my dad (divorced but still live fairly nearby each other as it happens) today, and tomorrow I'm gonna have a bit of free time to finish editing Laces for a Lady, chapter two, so hopefully that'll be up soon!

Vision is being affected too now 3-20-2024

I've had trippy visual distortions constantly for about five days now. There's TV static overtop of my entire visual field, fuzzy halos around everything, when I look away from something there's a "ghost" of it still there, bright lights stay in my vision for several minutes, everything leaves a trail behind it. It's super disorienting. I thought I was having an anxiety attack and dissociating when it first started so I began my calming techniques, when that didn't help I got super freaked out. Hasn't gone away since :(

I was terrified when it first began! Having visual distortions can really affect your day, as you could probably guess. It makes it hard to read because the words have a "fuzz" around them and my eyes can't easily look from one thing to another. It's hard to focus on anything really when you feel like you've been flash banged 24/7.

Thankfully my longtime ophthalmologist talked to me on the phone for a bit and listened to me seriously. He told me he definitely wants to take a look but that it doesn't sound emergent, and to call if it gets worse or anything weird happens.

He also told me it's nearly guaranteed to be related to my vestibular disfunction even though the ENT acted annoyed when I brought it up. That honestly made me feel better because if I had another mystery sensory-destroying issue right now I think I'd have a breakdown. So in a way it was comforting that it's all part of the same problem, weird as that may sound. Obviously I'm not thrilled that my vision is also a casualty now- but hey, glass half full!

Unfortunately I can't get in to see him until April, but they did put me on the cancelation list so there's hope for sooner. For now he told me to use Systane Complete 3x a day, so that I will do.

All I can do is keep taking it one day at a time. Take the meds, apply the drops, make the appointment, do what I can, keep going. Keep going.

I always forget the general view of euthanasia is soo different for people outside of canada like an american leftist will be like euthanasia should be legalized its the morally correct option and im like EXCUSE ME??? before I remember in other countries it's mostly viewed as a humane choice for ppl who are terminally ill and already dying in a hospital etc

somehow canada decided it would be a good idea that anyone who is mentally ill or disabled or homeless or a drug addict has free access to killing themselves BEFORE they get any access to treatment or social services so euthanasia here is like..... seen as a bit of a conservative way of uhh encouraging poor people to kill themselves so we dont have to deal with them anymore <3 its not very popular in leftist circles

#people who are dying of terminal cancer who only have weeks/months to live choosing euthanasia is totally fine imo #encouraging anyone w/ mental health issues or who struggles with poverty to Just kill themselves because we dont have social supports #or a functional medical system to take care of them so them dying is literally easier. now that I dont agree with #canada getting a little too liberal w/ its use of euthanasia I fear #txt #tw suicide mention
