#chronic pain coded

[hayakawapartner]

aki with a s/o with chronic pain . . .

!!! this post is sfw, but minors/ageless blogs dni with this post/blog !!!

notes: gn!disabled!reader, this is self indulgent i tried to make this fitting for more general chronic pain! reader might come across as ehlers danlos-coded (is that a thing?? weird thing for me to type)

aki is already so sweet and caring with you, of course he would be helpful when your chronic pain flares up.

he notices that you’re moving a bit slower, taking shorter steps, taking a longer time to get up from your seat… and he’s immediately there to help

VERY quick to ask what you need, but he also tries to offer your usual solutions

“where does it hurt? do you need a heating pad? painkillers? tiger balm? do you want me to run a warm bath?”

if you have fluctuating mobility/occasionally use a mobility aid, he does his best to keep everything in a convenient spot for you. crutches near the bed so you can slide your arms in and get up with a bit more ease, rollator in a place where you don’t trip but it’s easy to access…

he was initially Overly Careful with you so he didn’t aggravate your pain further, but as he grows used to your needs, he’s still careful but he’s not scared of breaking you like he used to be

kisses the back of your neck while gently massaging your sore joints/muscles, murmuring soft “i love you”s and “you’re gonna be okay”s while he’s rubbing tiger balm onto your sorest spots

if he hears your joints pop he gets really nervous until you specify if it was a good/bad pop

if a spot is too sore, he won’t touch it in case he hurts you even more.

and if you just Can’t get out of bed for the day? he calls off from work to take care of you. brings you comfort food, helps you to the bathroom when you need it, makes sure you’re hydrated and taking your meds…

SPEAKING OF MEDS. this man is so good at reminding you

“did you forget to take your meds? maybe you should take them now, love. it’ll help you feel less sore.”

he’s very careful to make sure he doesn’t shame you for forgetting meds, for needing help, for being in pain. he just does whatever he can to make sure you’re okay and empathises with your complaints about your aches.

while he hates seeing you in pain during a flare-up, he becomes extra doting just to make sure your needs are met. cooks your fav comfort meal, makes sure all your pillows are soft and arranged to keep you comfy, refills your water bottle whenever it’s almost empty, etc.

he’s just so loving… aaauuuu

Something important for able-bodied people to understand about chronic illness: when you don't have anyone to help you, and you can't afford someone to do the work for you, you have to do it yourself.

I spent four hours using a tiny hand saw to cut mullberry trees out of my fence line that code enforcement is constantly fucking with us about (it's in the back yard, no less). I have Fibromyalgia also known as M.E., and I know I shouldn't have worked for four hours, but doing anything physical results in some level of pain and fatigue, and I couldn't afford any extra downtime it takes to recover, and had to cram it into one session. Now, I'm having one of the worst widespread pain attacks I've ever had, I'm very, very used to dealing with regular intense pain, but this has almost got me to panic-levels.

I've been fighting these trees for years, and finally cut them off at ground level, which still probably won't work, but I had to try and do something to stop the constant harassment. It wasn't even the only mega-physical job I had to do outside in the last couple of months to stop it, and I don't even live in an HOA, just an asshole city where code enforcement is run by the ex-chief-of-police.

I don't talk about my condition publicly very often, and this is mostly to vent, I'm so pissed that I have to harm myself to the extent of taking days to recover--when the world doesn't stop, so some fuckass can tell me what to do with my property. It's a frustrating condition anyway, but some shithead getting a boner over fucking with people, shouldn't be my fucking concern.

Chronic pain is... so weird

because

it almost seems like I'm not... allowed to just be in pain?

Yeah, I'm hurting. Yeah, I hate this. But I have to do laundry. I have to prepare food. I have to clean the kitchen. I have to make my bed. I can't worry about how much I hurt; I have to get these things done despite the pain.

I'm not allowed to sit down and cry over my body,

the imaginary claws I can feel digging into my shoulder and the rust I can feel covering my knees, the shooting and stabbing pains along my neck that travel down,

because I have to be productive.

I have to ignore the pain.

Push through.

I don't fucking want to "push through" anymore.

I just want the pain to stop.

No Longer Remembered 11.20.23 “Broken Bread and Hearts”

Pain is an illusion, from time to time it passes And still an illusion can stop my heart Fill me with fright or delight, for its part Pain is absolute, a state of existence to pass And still I will ache and bemoan as I heal From my head to my battered, sprained heel Pain is like water, like wind how it moves And still it remains, stagnant with mosquitoes Coming and going, rocks me as it flows Pain is like fire, like earth full of weight And still it keeps scalding, heralding mistakes Each defeat, though is crushing, head-rushing Pain is a shadow, cast down by my light And still, I am the sun, burning bright as I live The greater I glow so the greater my shadow will give Pain is present, clinging like children, forgot And still though they cry They will grow old and die Pain is all I remember And still I forget How it felt to not have you here with me, before we had met

Can I have some regressed KC with caregiver Earth pls

Earth comes into his and Moon’s room while Sun is taking care of his cat to find that he’s little and curled up in the bed in pain. KC whines and reaches for her and of course Earth picks him up and holds him, shushing him and snuggling him close.

KC ends up calling her Mama and she coos at him and she figures out he’s little and he’s still in pain and she doesn’t sway in the slightest from taking care of him, getting him asleep and rubbing his arm and watching over him while he sleeps.

8th April 2023

Today is review day! The course offers me a quiz on basic knowledge before moving on to the advanced stuff, so I've decided to read through my notes. I really like how they turned out!

Things I want to do today:

Finish the quiz

Hopefully, start on Section 7 of the course.

roller derby seems soooo cool and I'd kill it as a lesbian but unfortunately the Universe figured that out before me and had to nerf me (Pain Disorder) so that I couldn't kill it in the rink. As soon as I figure out how to roller skate without Dying it's over for you bitches though

[ask-the-celestial-family]

Kill Code: So let me see if I got this all right. I gained sentience when we were having a period. The Creator gave me, specifically, a virus that eats at my code so much it relayed to my body. I’m underweight, a mother of three, have a brother as my baby daddy, I shared a body with my grandchild. I’m mentally ill, physically ill, have chronic pain, chronic sickness, glitches, seizures, pass outs, and I was feral for weeks before you knocked me out of it?

Moon: Yeah, that sounds correct.

Kill Code: WHY DO I EXIST EVEN!?

Moon: I’m starting to think you’re spiting a god with your continued existence, actually.

does it count as therapy or dealing with your problems, if you make your blorbos have your disabilities? asking for a friend.

less of an ask and more of commentary (I hope this doesn’t come across creepy/weird/overstepping):

your characterization of V1 is heckin GALAXY BRAIN and I love it

I picture that scrungly little murder robot and it’s hunched over doing the coin flip thing, O} (V1 version of :3) at the think-camera with its head flipped backwards

like this

ooooOIGUHGHJGFGJI THIS IS SO CUTE 😭😭🙏 just look at its little blood-stained face......i am in love!!!!! full evil baby mode!!!!!

and just omg thank you so much!!! it makes me completely 🥰🥰 to hear you enjoy my takes on v1!! something about it just read so....full weird little creature to me the minute i picked up the game that i had to run as far as i could with it. and tbh its defining features in my mind are its silly neck angles and horrendously bad posture so like dfjhgdfg that head position is exactly the kinda shit it would pull 😭😭
