The stark contrast between the cool room and the warmth of Tam, allowed Theo to really relish in her. Just having her next to him helped him relax a bit, no longer fighting his muscles from letting him sink into the hospital bed beneath him. He hadn't even realized how tense he was until that moment, allowing himself to finally hit pause and relax, the weight of the day catching up to him. He was sore and in excruciating pain but he wanted to be strong and to be okay for her. Nodding, "I hope so. Though these last few months even before today have sort of tsught me that I don't need to be strong you know?" He tilted his head so he can see her as she looked at him, "and i want them to know that just as much."

Hearing those words being spoken after the day he had, broke open something within him that he didn't even know he had been guarding. He exhaled and tears welled up in his eyes, "and you are mine, one hundred percent. No doubt in my mind about it." He nodded, sniffling so those years wouldn't fall, "and likewise. Always." He nodded, his eyes filled with affection and pride at how far they had come since her return to town. Closing his eyes as he could start to feel the exhaustion creeping up, he nodded before feeling her lips upon his, nodding ever so slightly. Giving in to the exhaustion, he held onto her as he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

END

She was far warmer in comparison to him, urging Tamara to gently tug at the hospital blanket that was situated at the end of the bed up and over their bodies, before she got comfortable nestled underneath his arms. Feeling him relax beside her was conformation that she'd made the right decision. If he didn't strain, he would heal quicker. If that meant never leaving the space the entire duration of his stay, so be it. Seeing him smiling was comforting, even if it was small. She was so glad to be able to be there with him now, leaning her forehead against his cheek. The room reeked of antiseptic, but now that she was close to him, she caught lingering notes of smoke and vanilla bourbon. "They know you're strong, too." Tam added softly, tilting her head slowly so she could look into his eyes. "So strong." and not just physically, but mentally as well. When Theo put his mind to something, there was no stopping him. Well... majority of the time. This was just all an awful accident.

"You..." she started, exhaling the lightest of breaths in amazement, moving a hand to his jawline. "are the love of my life, and I would do anything for you," he was well aware of what her job meant to her, too. Knew that it was her way of giving back -- to the best of her ability. "But thank you." she couldn't tell if it was her or him that was shaking, or a combination, trying not to move too much before bringing her lips to his in the most tender kiss. "Shh." Tamara hushed, barely above a whisper, brushing her fingers that had cupped his cheek to trace soothingly around his features. "Try and get some sleep. I'm not going anywhere. Not right now."

Does anyone else see the crater/dent in my forehead in the second picture? I still have it.

The first photo is February, and the second is April this year. I got a bad concussion between these photos, but I don't think they're supposed to do this.

I've stopped taking lovenox(injection) and moved onto pradaxa(pill) but 😢 so many of the reddit threads I've read about lovenox bruising say it'll go away in 9 to 12 months???? there is some yellowing now ofc but the worst of it is still really bruised and there's a knot too (also normal) but augh the area feels so weird and I'm worried I'll bump it and make it worse???

I have learned lots from this app.

Pokemon are creatures that seem to be able to use either Magic or Magecraft, depending on their power. Some of them can type. They live for the glory of battle and employ humans to tell them to fight more effectively, which is akin to high-level familiars in Emiya's world.

The world is mostly run by humans, though with powerful Pokemon in control of specific phenomena such as dreams or weather. These are the sorts of Pokemon that are able to type. There are no Faeries, though 'Fairy' is a type of special power that Pokemon are able to access or embody.

One of these is called Hatterene. I do not like the idea of Hatterene. I feel my sister would adore Hatterene, so on the low chance any of you meet a Faerie Queen named Morgan, sic one on her and send me a video.

The doctors say that Emiya has sustained much damage, and though the 'Heal Pulse' that the Dragon Master human's 'Gallade' helped him, he will remain in a medically-induced coma until tomorrow, to prevent damage to his body while he heals. I will make him post tomorrow.

i am going to suggest

1.lockbox for mums meds. mostly for adas peace of mind. i do not think the stealing oxys was that big of an issue and its literally already resolved medically speaking 2.suggest again she take respite for afew days and catch up on sleep and self care and remind her we are not sending her away and DO NOT tell her shes being annoying and to get over it 3.suggest again she seek psychiatric and peer support for education and support and do NOT say its bc shes lived a life of privilege and this kind of care is unintuitive to her and it is resulting in borderline abusive behavior 4.remind her abusive behavior is something anyone can be guilty of, and that it is not something you Are but something you do. it is not an ontological category of Bad Person it is a category of behaviors and actions anyone can be party to. 5.maybe mention the fighting has been triggering my ptsd like crazy so like if she can get her shit together even a little bit id be able to help out more if i wasnt constantly being turned into a pile of goofirst thing in the morning

i realized when i almost passed out from getting my blood drawn that experiencing debilitating pain once a month before my period to the point where it makes me experience that same woozy feeling is definitely not normal

[warmestshrine]

It's 30 degrees and I currently live in a van which if you hadn't thought about it before is literally a box made of metal. There's endless flies and everything's dusty. I'm struggling to cope with the heat and not get suicidal about it, which sounds silly but it's just relentless. Also I can't convince the puppy to eat her food which is triggering OCD thoughts. I'm stressing about other stuff, too, besides which it feels like my body is shutting down, the lethargy and heart palpitations and brain fog are so intense. I'm so tired. Maybe it's counter-revolutionary of me but rn I just want to be in a house with air conditioning and a bathtub and a freezer full of ice.

Patients literally have zero agency. No you cannot change my mind.

[terrasu]

If I just got over my severe clinical anxiety and severe clinical depression and high blood pressure and Alice in Wonderland Syndrome and Visual Snow syndrome and tinnitus and POTS and auditory processing disorder and ADD/low dopamine levels and Autism and Fibromyalgia and untreatable chronic pain and brain fog 🐸 and PCOS and CYP2D6 gene and psychosis and gastrointestinal issues and undiagnosable sleep disorder and post exertion malaise and memory issues and misdiagnosed skin disorder that causes chronic wounds and agoraphobia and tendency to fall asleep at inopportune times and post Vibryd side effects and nausea and migraines and heart condition and hyperaldosteronism and chronically high cortisol and

Maybe I could help fix things because I've always been told I would "save/change the world" (which is a great thing to tell a child)

Oh shit, do you need to get a hysterectomy if you've been on T for a while? I've been on it for about 4 years, but I don't know much about this part, is this something I should look into before Trump is in charge?

CW: medical stuff and periods.

No, you don't need to have a hysterectomy just because you've been on T for awhile; if you have no medical or gender affirming reasons for needing one, then you don't need one.

Personally, my periods were always absolutely horrible pre-testosterone; they were heavy, painful, and 25-40 days long at their worst. There was some speculation that I could have PCOS, but I was never actually diagnosed, just put on the pill to half-ass treat the symptoms. I switched prescriptions a few times, but never really found one that fully helped and was without side effects. Oh, and on top of that, dysphoria was a nightmare around that time, I was always a wreck mentally and emotionally.

I don't want to go back to living with periods like that, like ever. I'm also probably no longer the best candidate for hormonal birth control, due to the elevated stroke risk (I have high blood pressure plus a family history of stroke).

Oh, and I'm childfree. As you know this isn't exactly the best country in which to be a person that can get pregnant right now. I expect it will only get worse, especially given that our next Vice President openly hates childfree people.

So anyway. It's not necessary that you have a hysto, but if it's something you might want or need in the future, I suggest you do start looking into it before he takes office.

Random memory of getting vaccinations the day before my first trip on the tulpar. They wanted to make sure we were all up to date on our shots.

They also required I had my wisdom teeth out (I already did) because they didn't want to have to deal with an extraction while, y'know, in space.

I’m not a hypochondriac but google telling me I could have glaucoma while my eye doctors building is still recovering from the hurricane is evil

Who: @ethanxhoffmann and Mack

Where: Kismet Harbor Hospital

When: November 2024

Sitting iin the waiting room, Mack kept bouncing her leg, the nerves and anxiety coursing through her veins. She had done this before, a couple of times already but she was still nervous. That first ultrasound at the doctor's to check up on the growing baby. She was all kinds of nervous and excited and thankfully her rock, Ethan was sitting right beside her. "Why am I so nervous? It's not like we've never done this before," she replied, reaching out for his hand to hold and squeeze.

// "claiming to be autistic/ADHD/neurodivergent is so trendy!"

No tf it isn't, man! Do you think my GP Dr is gonna take "sorry I haven't been taking care of my diabetes or shown up to appointments all year long, I can been overloaded and burnt out at work due to being autistic and having sensory issues and I have spent every shred of free or spare time hyperfixating on a niche interest! So I haven't had the time or energy to take care of my actual health!"

Like you might think he should accept that maybe, but believe me, he won't

Society is so very stuck on the concept of "not trying hard enough" and "if you don't do it you must not actually care"

I wish!! Diabetes is deadly when not controlled. I don't want to go blind or lose limbs, that's fucking terrifying! I'm honestly terrified of that! But I can't seem to get a handle on it!!
