pcos getting renamed to pmos is kinda funny to me cuz now whenever I have a flare up I can just go “Ughhhh this pmo” and people will never know I’m just telling them what the flare up is from
I kinda mentioned this in my prev post (here) but Doc uses diferent mobility aids due to his varying ability to stand up by himself.
Mid relapse it's usually a wheelchair, while during remiting periods, he's normally fine with just a cane. Lippmann has painted little shrews onto his wheelchair because they're Doc's favourite animal. He actually has several canes, but usually he uses a single point offset cane that Albatross has covered with stickers (offset canes are designed to reduce strain on the wrist!!)
Lippmann, Piano Man and Doc do pilates together when Doc feels up to it. It helps him stay active while not pushing himself too far.
His favourite season is winter but he CANNOT handle the cold. It just absolutely ruins him. He seems determined to not let this stop him. If someone tries to force him back inside, he will pelt them with any available snow. Chuuya did not know this. Albatross found it hilarious when he came back inside caked in snow and with the eyes of a boy completely defeated.
@liminal-seraphim cause you seemed to like the last one and i am pleased to feed you more chronically ill doc
pushing my doc had a chronic illness (specifically MS) agenda. (+albadoc)(+ the other flags)
(small cw for what i guess could be considered gross by some. Just in general if you're icky about bodily fluids, don't click)
Doc having rrms (Relapsing-Remitting MS) and having a relapse, to which Albatross immediately goes into domestic househusband mode.
Doc slightly implies he's thirsty and Albatross just sprints across the apartment to get him a big glass of water.
They sit in bed together and watch shitty medical dramas.
Doc lets Albatross put stickers on his mobility aids. Leading to his cane being covered in stickers of rabbits. He finds it cute how excited Albatross gets when he finds a new sticker and gets to show it to him and ask if he can put it on.
There is no shame between them. Not even in a sexual manner. Simply in the way that they completely trust each other and know that no matter what, this IS a safe space. A common symptom of RRMS is bladder issues. It can cause either difficulty or urgency. This is to say, Albatross doesn't care if it's 'gross', he'll sit with Doc in the bathroom as long as it takes him.
Of course, this isn't to say he's overbearing, if Doc tells him to fuck off or communicates in any way that he's uncomfortable or just doesn't want him around for whatever reason, he'll leave. But it's always with the clear communication of 'if you do need me, I'll be there'
RRMS relapses sometimes come with impaired colour vision. I think Albatross is colourblind. meaning that at some points, neither of them will be able to agree on the colour of something, and when they call Chuuya to check, they both end up being wrong.
Chuuya stays with them sometimes and makes zucchini muffins for Doc because he really likes them and Albatross CANNOT bake (he can cook. just not bake)
The IV that Doc is shown to constantly have in is to deal with his symptoms.
Albatross naturally runs hot and therefore keeps his apartment relatively cold. Doc likes using him as a heater when the cold bothers him, but not enough to make him go under the covers.
Doc's extreme weakness and lack of balance during his relapses sometimes make him unable to care for his hygiene. Albatross has him take bubble baths during those times and washes his hair for him since it needs to be washed often because it is naturally oily.
Iceman makes bread in his spare time and will bring over fresh loaves over to cheer Doc up because he likes the smell of it (and the taste obviously)
Might make a part two if this does well and doesnt end with me getting death threats!!!
