I'm Not Your Dear

My dears, As you may have noticed, I haven't been as active lately. I think it's reasonable to say that the selection fandom is dying a bit. Since all the books are out, there is no more anticipation or crazy theories to come up with. I'd like to think that I was somewhat influential or important to this fandom here on tumblr. While I will still reblog things occasionally, I will probably not be posting any original content or contributing much to the fandom. I am so grateful for the last few years that I have spend in this fandom on Tumblr. It has opened me up to so many people, and a love for the selection that will forever remain. I'm not even sure which of my tumblr "friends" are still active anymore. And I hate to say it but my time away from Tumblr has made me forget all of the specific people. Just know that if we ever communicated in any way, I am grateful to you and the support you gave me. So thank you my dears for sticking with me for all this time. I'll still be around but not that much. My sideblogs are pretty active if you're interested @breathinginblush @julie-bigelow and @slappingmyknee. Again, I can't begin to explain what The Selection fandom has given me and I'll love it forever ❤️ - Sarah

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal

[lingering-spirit]

this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.

he gave me 100

This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.

Basically, if you’re feeling any sort of pain, even if it’s menstrual cramps, don’t hesitate to tell the school nurse or a parent, or if you’re out of school and home even make a doctor’s appointment. Chances are if your cramps are that bad there’s something they can do to improve that as well.

I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart

Adding another diagnostic tool! This is something we use in the ER called the rebound test. Basically, appendicitis and cramps react differently to certain things. If you’re still not sure if you have cramps or appendicitis, take two fingers and press them into your abdomen where the pain is (try repeating this on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen just to be sure.)

When you press in firmly, it will probably hurt. Here’s the test: LET GO. Does it get better or get worse? Appendicitis will immediately hurt worse when you let go. Cramps will not. Go to the ER if the rebound test makes it worse!

THE REBOUND TEST IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

My husband got sent home from the ER with a rupturing appendix. When he came back and was rushed into surgery, the surgeon was super angry – “Why didn’t anyone do the rebound test?!”

[deinde-prandium]

All great info, but there is another lesson to be learned here: if you’re in major pain, it’s probably important - so don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. There is a documented pattern of women who go to the ER with complaints of pain being dismissed as overreacting…when in reality women have an incredibly high tolerance for pain, to the point that some don’t even realize exactly how serious their condition is. These stories only serve to illustrate this point.

celeste had been raised to be a specific kind of pretty. that beauty depended on covering things up, shifting the light, and seeking to be perfect at all times. but there is a different kind of beauty that comes with humility and honesty, and she was glowing with it now

The Selection Series Castes:

One; Royalty and religious figures. They hold a position of power and respect at the very top of the caste system. Maxon Schreave and his family, being Royals, belong to this caste.
