Pt showed most if not all of my muscle strength held, but that movement was indeed needed as I'm super stiff all over. Tomorrow though I'm going to visit my main drs office as I'm pretty sure I'll need more antibiotics to fully heal from this mess.

We can live longer on affection, safety, comfort and belonging than we can on food alone.

The truth is that we need ourselves and each other to be whole.

First impressions can be distortions 🩻, fantasies 🚀, fairytales 🧚🏽, illusions. And yet, according to the science, we often determine if we can work with someone within the first 2 minutes of meeting them.

Yeah if I'd waited another day on getting help it likely would've been too late, as it is, I'm very weak & pt should be interesting on Thursday.😬

The war in iraq wasn’t about my freedom. It was about claiming the oil fields.

The war in Afghanistan wasn’t about my freedom. It was about use of an airstrip to fight Russia.

The wars in Syria, Libya, and Yemen weren’t about my freedom. They were about Russia, slavery, and genocide.

I would rather ensure that my elderly and disabled clients get a livable monthly income than continue to protect billionaires from paying their fair share in taxes.

I'm now giving it a 50/50 chance of my being able to keep instead of cancelling it. Because today I was barely managing 30 minute drives on fairly straight roads& pt is about 75 minutes of twisty roads & 30 of straight at higher speeds, so I need the pain low enough to drive easily again!

I got an antibiotic from a script from the urgent care clinic today, after seeing the nurse practitioner wince at seeing said mess, so now I expect one night of the pain worsening a touch before starting to see a bit of healing or at least lowered pain tomorrow night. My next pt visit being Thursday

So naturally as my spouse is quickly finishing his healing from chemical burns, basically able to now change his only remaining bandage without my help, I get a bad bought of cellulitis that I need his help in bandaging up, because it's in a spot I can't see without a mirror.🥴

Subaru being another great option, glad that truck is gone, so now you can try to stretch that 39mph to 49mpg , instead of the 13 that likely often only did 8...

Post Orca!

Got a nice t-shirt to wear out, starting tomorrow. I'll get my spouse to take a picture of me in it, possibly for a profile pic here. (*Hint: From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.)

About 50 pieces of said potatoes planted yesterday, most of the seed potatoes overall now cut up, some dried enough & some not. About 20 silver rose seed garlic cloves planted today too so progress is being made.

Yes to all of this - especially the striking a match part and the UBI.

A 2year level college degree in human services, over 5years working in said field,being disabled basically since birth & now as a 40year old, I'm overall of the ilk that the best way to "fix" the human services system is to build a parallel one before striking a match to burn down the old/current 1!

of care & money's for direct assistance being the tiniest sliver of the economic & jobs held in costs. It's amongst the reasons why a real UBI would be so much better as a leading part of a social welfare system, as with that,people in need&their families could just buy the items or hire the people.

It really is a matter of layers of work farming of the economically poor & disabled, included in said layers being all the government processors of paperwork, the Drs & other pro examiners paid/incentivized to deny/error out most & advocacy/legal agencies to fix said "errors".The actual providers>>

I hate it with a passion, but with all the energy I so often need to use to get through things, caused over 90% by systems designed to cause harm& added work, I rarely have energy left to advocate for the many needed changes. (*Apologies btw if my bit of gallows humor in any way offended you.)

Because the government feels the continual need to torture disabled & poor people, to have us "earn" their low quality & high cost services.

My daughter was evaluated by school psych in San Diego and began receiving SPED services immediately. She has received SPED services in Oregon since we moved back.

Can anyone tell me why she needs ANOTHER psych eval from a completely unrelated 3rd party in order to receive disability services?

The very fact that it's even possible much less probable for you, or anyone else, to be kicked out of a pt clinic for missing appointments, is indeed a display of the systemic problem of getting decent care. 😤

After over a month of trying to coax the hand focused physical therapist into teaching me how to write correctly, I realized I had to end said battle, get some books & use YouTube for the rest. As my dual enrollment policy & medical offices keep my insurance specialist busy with their errors.🙃

Below still holds but today I also got 55lbs of seed potatoes I ordered last month in the mail, so over the next 2 weeks, I'll be planting them, weeding everything, doing some home repairs & continuing to clean the animal pen.

In about another 2 weeks the first batch of seed potatoes I've planted should be ready to harvest & another 2-3 weeks after that, the first batch of garlic likewise should be ready for harvest. Meanwhile I've a steady supply of walking onions & eggs to cook & eat.

until next spring to plant, as those softneck types grow well in just the warm part of the year....I will also order a few varieties in August & possibly 1 or 2 in June &/or July but I'm mostly done with this realm.

Alright, 6th & final variety of seed garlic to be ordered this month has now occured, last month I ordered 5 other varieties & bought a 6th in person, so with the 2 planted last year, that should have me planting a total of 14 varieties this coming fall....Even as one or 2 I'm going to mostly wait>>

A screenshot of my text notifications for payments I have on a packer from before my injury

I still haven't gotten reimbursement from workman's comp and I've been out of work since April 9th 🙃 my autopay isn't able to go through on some gender affirming items I bought pre-injury and I don't know what to do. No pressure but if anyone feels like helping/boosting 🤞🏼

So, re: alt text, do it, don't do it, get somebody else to do it, but for the love of fluffy little kittens, please stop writing thinkpieces about how it's not that good a thing to do anyway. It really helps, I promise.

cutting back on the frequency of visits & in getting exercise equipment. Then after I've gotten some home repairs done &/or have completed things with her- I'll get yet another referall to try someone else for my hands.🙃 This really shouldn't be that hard!!
