#Tracheotomy

[five-thousand-loaves-of-bread]

while me post most about nonverbal nonspeaking because intellectual/developmental disabilities, here something about become nonspeaking after/because medical crisis in 2022 & tracheotomy & muscular dystrophy, by alice wong.

overview: “This is a 2-3 minute audio letter to the late David Muir, a disabled man who invented the Passy Muir® Valve, an attachment that enables people with tracheostomies to speak. As a newly nonspeaking person, this letter allows me to share my thoughts on the desire to speak and reflections on silence.”

I paused to consider the phrase “dignity through speech.” There is dignity in silence too. Silence does not mean a person is voiceless, as there are millions of nonspeaking people who use gestures, sign language, writing, technology, and other means to communicate with the world.

I live in a world of silence that is not lesser or devoid of richness. My reality is just different. Silence forces me to be more thoughtful and intentional in considering what I want to say and how I say it when I type into my speech-to-text app, which listeners to this letter are hearing now.

…

The worlds of speech and silence intersect and overlap. Silence isn’t static or limiting. Silence is not an empty void. Silence has a landscape of its own. Silence has its own dimension, a space that enables another way of thinking and being. There is dignity in all forms of communicating.

Is there a better place than public transit to discuss the logistics of strangling someone and weater or not they could give themselves a Tracheotomy during that to remain breathing with a med student?

Kneel before God!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: Following from the last cartoon, the notorious child, "The Boy," plays reporter and interviews laypeople about when they choose to sit or kneel during the time after Communion. When he interviews the young lady in this cartoon, she explains that she kneels and prays until the Eucharist (specifically the bread that's become the Body of Christ) is returned to the tabernacle (usually a shiny box that sits behind the altar under the big crucifix at the head of a Catholic church). A lot of the parishioners at my local churches follow this tradition, as if waiting for Jesus to be seated before seating themselves. However, this young lady has a slightly confused understanding of tradition, transubstantiation, and tracheotomies (though that last one isn't explored in this cartoon).

Many reasons why I love Hoffman but one thing that tops the list is him sending Strahm to a Saw trap equivalent of a “Do you like me? Check Yes or No” note.

Same anon as before!

I mean they've had Abby perfectly perform an emergency tracheostomy after being talked through it over the phone and was able to do it without any complications arising, they've had Hen operate what I believe to be an excavator even though there was nothing in her background that suggests she'd know how to do that and finally there has been a shark on the freeway like is it really farfetched to some people that Tommy would know how to operate both a plane and helicopter?

We as a society only seem to care about 911 needing to make perfect sense when it pertains to one Thomas Kinard.
