after a 6 month dead bedroom in my long term relationship we broke through it and are now fuckin like that one kevin smith tweet. we werent like this even when we were drunk 24/7 in our first year of dating. im at work rn and it hurts to walk.

apparently communication, space, & patience works????

I see these posts all the fucking time on here. In the wake of John from "Coffee Time with John and Momma"'s death I felt this needed to be said.

If you are still breathing. If your heart is still beating. It is NEVER too late to greatly improve your health and quality of life. And thats NOT through becoming an athlete overnight. That's through implementing small lifestyle changes, then implementing more as you master the previous one. Changing soda to diet soda. Beginning to wear compression stockings. Making that appointment. Doing exercise that meets you where your physical limitations are currently at.

​

Some small but accumulating changes can drastically improve your quality of life, mental health, and expected lifespan, and risk of complications.

​

If you have heart failure: IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

​

If you have kidney failure: IT IS NOT TOO LATE.

​

IF YOU ARE BEDBOUND

​

IF YOU ARE OVER 700LBS

​

IF YOU HAVE GIVEN UP 25 TIMES

​

IF YOU HAVE GIVEN UP 80

​

IF YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN A GRIM DIAGNOSIS

​

IT

​

IS

​

NOT

​

TOO

​

LATE

Sure, you might still have some things that stick around like a bad knee. Or back pain. Or liver damage. but they are so much more improved than if you had done nothing at all. it is worth it.

i keep a roll of hypafix and/or tegaderm around and if im home alone i cover all my current "picking obsessions" so i have less chances to pick/they have time to heal

i am home alone a lot so its actually makes a huge difference lol. especially because the second i feel the dressing im like. oh yeah. not supposed to do that

i am in nursing and even after my 12 hr days i still make sure to get a run in on my laptop in bed :) i love this game and am working towards completion!

like oh my God. I have a growth in my breast. it's painful. I potentially found another growth in my arm. I'm a nursing student. I know that this s*** needs to get checked out. but because I'm literally allergic to telephone calls it is taking me over a month to book an appointment. and whenever I do get the balls to call, my doctor is unavailable due to hospitalist hours. (she has to go there every other week due to my provinces family practice requirements... but also random days through the week she is unavailable because she has many geriatric patients that require home visits etc... state of healthcare and all that)

I wish the healthcare my province didn't still only exist on paper and fax machine. I wish it was like every walk-in clinic in the big cities where you can just make an appointment online using a built-in calendar widget. I wish the dentist was like this too because I need filling. F*** THAT'S ANOTHER THING I'VE BEEN PUTTING OFF FOR MONTHS. I've literally had jobs that were exclusively phone calls but for some reason when it comes to unscripted conversations over the phone I'm at a loss. I could be in a sealed barrel slowly filling with water with the only potential exit for survival being to call. my grandma and I would still hem and haw about it.

just wondering if my experience is the same as anyone else's. I know what I need to do. I just called the office and of course the line was busy. I set a timer and I'm going to call them again when it goes off in an hour. I'm just still kicking myself for not getting this looked at sooner because I am incredibly anxious about my boob right now! and I know this could have been resolved weeks ago if I just sat down and called once a day like i shouldve. bleh

was so hoping I'd be one of those people that felt the effects the first day I injected, but being patient has finally paid off :)!

I've been working through a full-time nursing preceptorship position while also picking up an extra 12-hour shift each week. I'm so exhausted that my my daily steps have gone from 15K a day (over a year long streak...) to maybe 6K. (all of my patients have been really bariatric and full care. my muscles are sore as f*** and on top of that, just emotional fatigue from nursing as a job).

I've also been eating like an a****** because of how exhausted I am.

despite all of this.... I have lost 4 lb this month. that's more than when I was on track with my steps and eating. Even though my food choices are stupid because of my fatigue... my hunger is way down. instead of thinking about food all the time, I have a nibble every 4 hours. The other night I even had an unintentional fast of 6 hours that I decided to push into the rest of my night shift just to see if I could. I've never successfully done a fast before.

I finally have 4 days off straight. canceled my pickup shifts at work so I can recover physically and emotionally from the last couple weeks before starting my next preceptorship stretch. I'm going to be able to get back on track now. and I'm so thankful that sema helped me avoid the usual binge spiral that I would partake in when met with a really hard time.

I plan to reinstate my good habits now. I know that I can't just expect it to do the heavy lifting for me indefinitely, but I super appreciate it being a life jacket when I needed it :)

I'm also excited to do some experimenting with occasional fasting now that I know I'm capable of it. I've always been very carb focused and I know that fasting is a great way to regulate blood glucose and insulin levels. I actually felt really good after. It's nice for food to finally feel like a survival necessity here and there instead of a constant urge and craving.

rant over i guess. didn't really have a big point here, just happily venting!

what i truly need being a full walkie talkie assignment
