Dr: "Wow you have a messed up gait, thats why you have hip, knee, and back pain"

Me: "Yea, I have cerebral palsy"

Dr: "But you're so young"

He did not understand that cerebral palsy is a disability Ive had since birth and my being 19 almost 20 had NOTHING to do with it.

But, he did say I must go back to PT which sucks because until I was 12, I did biweekly PT.

Also, never joke with a doctor about how you are turning into your dad. Apparently saying your dad thats in PT, also has CP, and has arthritis, just ends up with more tests needing to be done.

Since joining in 2021, I have only read and finished 32 of the picks I have made. I have also noticed a decline in the picks being things I've never heard of, the whole point in my joining was to discover new books and debut authors and explore genres. Something which is very had to do with the fact that they are heavier on romance, fantasy, and thriller than ever before which are in fact my main genres and I typically know what is releasing and have heard about things or read an ARC for it. So, should I keep renewing because my yearly gifted renewal is coming up and I dont know if I should keep asking for this as my birthday present. Maybe I should let myself save $250 a year on this.

Should I keep it or not?

I am 19 years old, 5'1, 214lbs. Im working on the weight issue that could be contributing but even when I wasnt this big I still had these constant pains. My doctor did a hip x-ray and didnt find anything abnormal. I have just asked her to see if I have developing arthritis anywhere in my body because, genetics and CP arent exactly on my side there. I am also going to ask about seeing an orthopedist at my moms suggestion.

Are others experiencing this? I feel so alone. My dad has CP too but he had these problems much later in life than me. It always makes me wonder if its my weight or like a genuine health issue caused by something other than my weight, such as my CP gait and the amount of hills and stairs I walk on a daily basis.

Also, VERY UNRELATED but, my mom keeps saying my autistic tendencies could be related to CP but honestly I just think I may be autistic and because I interact well with adults (the people who administer the tests) that Ive just never been diagnosed. Does anyone else have a similar situation?

Out of the nearly 500 books Ive reviewed on NetGalley over the last 6 years....Ive only given 91 of them 5 stars.

And yet publishers keep giving me eARCs, widgets, etc.

I do typically give out 3 and 4 stars to majority of things so that might help...who knows when it comes to NetGalley.

Edit: This is shocking because most of the things I request is sequels in series, books by my favorite authors, interesting debuts, and some very few random other ones.

I got a procedure done on my shoulder blade and cant really hold a book while healing and Im also so freaking bored which is why Im glad that I have a kindle colorsoft and that its light enough to where I can continue reading my 860 page book while recovering on my couch.

I mostly only bought it originally because my paperwhite died and I really only bought that originally because I wanted to read my big scifi and fantasy books without carrying them around at my high school. This was right around the time they were banning phones and then I couldnt exactly continue reading on my phone like before.

So like every housing combo I can think of that fits my accommodations in any way....I cant find anyone on room swap looking to swap those rooms.

I have a South Hall 4 person cisgender female suite and I just need to switch because my roommates smoke and vape but Im an asthmatic. So it doesnt work well.

All the show seems to be doing is bringing the wrong people into auditions, stressing the girls out, ruining team dynamics with them being hurt by things people say online, etc.

Also, people only know the DCC because of the shows they have had. Most other teams arent known or given a shit about.

And the whole concept of a DCC show was already toxic from the jump with the weigh ins and body shaming.

I went to my sister's graduation in Oregon and it was at the very hot football stadium. Apparently if you expose a kindle to direct sunlight and in a 105 degree heat situation for 5 hours....it will fry the battery. So I contacted customer service and they tried to help me fix it after forwarding me to their IT guy who basically said that because I reported already having whited out screens prior to this incident and that I had only had this kindle for a year that they would give me a new kindle for free. I get to trash the old kindle because its not like they can refurbish the problem that the battery fried and it already sorta had circuit problems in the first place when I complained 3 months in to Amazon.

Does any female in South Hall want to room swap with me as another female in South Hall?

I like non smokers and quieter people. Im a very clean and private person.

Also, reddit would only let me tag this as student life and not housing for some reason.
