self care win: both remembered to, and had the executive function to get up and take the meds we needed to, use our ear drops, brush our teeth, and do a general check in our our body's needs, all within like half an hour. not the biggest tasks but given how hard it's been to actually do anything combined with the sensory issues associated with some of them, I think I deserve to be proud of us for managing to do them

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #posts made on pain meds #brushing our teeth especially is a nightmare because we keep forgetting to get more of the little travel toothbrushes #because they're a lot harder to get now so we keep having to use a normal toothbrush which triggers more sensory issues #and triggers the sensitivity and soreness around our gums and it also requires us to get up and go to the sink #which... doesn't mix well with fatigue flares and our executive dysfunction being a fucking nightmare #but also given that like half the surface of one wisdom tooth has just rotted away and left all the inside of the tooth exposed #and then another tooth has a huge hole in it and is now actively crumbling it makes it really painful if the brush touches either of them #I had to take pain meds and then go sort out other stuff while I waited for those to kick in before I could then go brush my teeth #otherwise it would probably have been too painful #(I mean I mostly took them because the tooth pain was flaring up really bad again but I realised I needed to brush our teeth #so I was like ''well I guess I'll do everything in this order so the meds can kick in before I brush them'')
