used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

Also the new linguistic quirk of just saying “it was 2020” as like. The full end of a story. You say “it was 2020” and everyone knows what you mean.

“I was going to get my masters degree but then it was 2020, so yeah”

“I was cast in a play and then it was 2020”

“my boyfriend proposed but then it was 2020”

"My baby was born in 2020, and then (two weeks later to be precise), it was 2020."

Actual truth from my actual life, I feel like I ought to use this more.

Love me some Casual Geographic, and this recent one especially made me laugh because just how many of y'all pissed him off thinking there's no development in Africa 😭 he said "let me show y'all that there's not only snow, there's actual PEOPLE and CITIES TOO."

Sleep should be refreshing and if it isn’t you should look into that tbh

“They should invent a sleep that makes you feel like you’ve slept”

Yeah it’s called sleep. Go to the doctor.

#get a sleep study #cpaps suck but sleep apnea can kill you #the stopping of breathing puts strain on your heart and rarely you just don't start breathing again #if you have unrefreshing sleep + exercise makes you feel like you're sick then it might be ME/CFS #and if you get diagnosed with ME/CFS no matter what any doctor says DO NOT exercise or do PT #it will make you worse even gentle PT like aquatherapy

driven mad by how patients with severe ME are so rarely warned or protected from some of the most obvious consequences of ME bc doctors just don’t gaf about us. so here’s an awareness post. side effects of ME to look out for:

pressure sores from being in bed all day - to prevent these, change position minimum every 2hrs if possible, and use pillows to support your positions (find visual examples online). you’re especially at risk of pressure sores if you use continence products, so make sure to use a barrier cream and change as soon as possible when soiled.

contractures, especially in the ankles, from being immobile in bed - these can be minimised by doing ankle flexibility exercises, but ONLY if that would be within your energy envelope. otherwise just try to vary your ankle/foot positions. support with pillows if needed.

tinnitus and ear infections from having to wear earplugs so much - i have no advice for this

vitamin d deficiency from being indoors in the dark all the time - supplements and foods rich in vit d can help.

deep vein thrombosis aka blood clots in the legs from immobility - this is uncommon but it’s an emergency if it ever occurs. compression socks can reduce your risk if you can tolerate wearing them, and movement also helps lower the risk, but again, only within your energy envelope.

muscle atrophy - your legs and arms may start to look like sticks after becoming bedbound. unfortunately, as long as exercise is unsafe for you, this is impossible to fix, so it’s something we have to accept, as pushing ourselves is much more dangerous than deconditioning.

vit and mineral deficiencies from dietary restrictions - opt for a healthy diet, supplementation, and regular blood tests to stay on top of deficiencies

dehydration from being unable to sit up to drink - there are sporty contraptions meant for backpackers that let you drink lying down. some water bottles with sports caps also work, i use refilled lucozade bottles for all my water. if you’re too weak to swallow for longer than a day, it’s time to call a doc to see if they can give iv hydration.

dehydration from sleeping a very long time - if you sleep 16+ hours, especially if it happens regularly, you’re probably waking up dehydrated. try to drink water when you wake.

post over!

I will shout about pressure sore risk from! The! Rooftops!! A red spot that doesn’t fade is a grade 1 pressure sore!!!

I'm very thin/ atrophied myself, and that definitely puts you at a greater risk. Aside from repositioning/ having a caregiver reposition you at least every two hours, there is also an aid called an alternating pressure mattress that I personally use. It's a little air mattress that you put on top of your regular mattress that attaches to an electric pump. Mine was about fifty US dollars. It has little air bubbles/ pocket things within it. The air pockets inflate and deflate, alternating between which row, every five minutes or so. My dad calls it my breathing bed for this reason, heh. This helps your weight from settling in one place and therefore keeps pressure sores at bay! I didn't explain it super super well, but EquipMeOT sure does.

Positioning pillows are also fabulous :) I'm a pregnancy pillow person myself but use what works best for you !

#it's Rose #fun fact for a long time my name that I used for everything online was Roze #and when I used to do warrior cats larp with my irl friends I was Rosekit (i was the youngest)#it probably started with Ruth Rose from A to Z Mysteries tbh

I got a very cute glass cup (it has a wood lid and an embossed thistle plant on it) but the problem is it came with a glass straw and to keep them from clinking together and chipping each other they put a silicone tip on the straw. This is a good idea, except that silicone is really good at creating suction-based seals. So sometimes when you're drinking from the straw it partially suctions itself to the bottom of the cup and doesn't work very well. I feel like someone should have tested, you know, drinking out of the cup before the design was approved. It's Pioneer Woman brand as well, not just a random walmart brand, so I kind of expected it to have some kind of quality control. I'm willing to look past the flaws and continue using it though because I like how it looks.

#it was also cheap #like $8 #so maybe expecting it to be excellent quality was unfair

So many things would be better if doctors could just say “yeah that is a real problem but there isn’t much we can do to treat it so our only real recommendations are other things that raise your general health level to compensate”

instead they just say “thats normal” or “oh theres nothing wrong with you”. Because in their mind “it wont kill you and i cant fix it” means its not worth mentioning.

Affirm the problem doc, it wont kill you. Knowing that something just isnt the kind of thing doctors treat will save your patients so much time, money, and stress, all of which will improve their health.

It is so ridiculously easy to gain a reputation for being competent by just reading signs.

This is not metaphorical. I mean actual, literal pieces of paper/plastic/metal/whatever explicitly erected to inform the public.

“How did you know this was the right trail?” I read the sign.

“Wow, how did you know what that flower is?” There’s a SIGN.

“How did you know we needed to use the side door?” THERE IS A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Just…why are we having such different experiences of the world? People can read. I KNOW they can read. There’s nothing wrong with their vision.

Just. READ. THE. GOD. DAMN. SIGN.

This also applies to:

Physically able people need to be more normal about people who cannot under any circumstance walk.

People who crawl around their houses because the hallways aren't accessible.

People who cannot just push through inaccessibility, cannot walk up a couple of stairs if the elevators are down.

People who cannot be spontaneous because they are reliant on an attendant pushing them.

People who cannot walk at all. For whatever reason.

fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"
