So- I have another doctors appointment tomorrow and going back to square one after almost year cause my physiotherapist was getting nowhere and I got even more confirmation from his that yeah something is definitely going on and I should get diagnosed

BUT

I think this is a bit concerning but mostly really fucking funny- I contacted my health center or whatever it’s called in English through an app and described my symptoms and what the physiotherapist recommended AND THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR AN “EMERGENCY VISIT” THEN FROZE THE CHAT SO I CANT ASK FOR CLARIFICATION

SO UH

Let’s see if I survive tomorrow yayyy

[clockways]

Trying not to be scared of the nerve test tomorrow but I don't do well with needles. I especially don't do well with things staying under my skin. And I'm worried about what the results will mean, no matter what they are.

My hands have gotten so bad so quickly and I can't... I can't tell you how much I can't go through not using my hands again. Especially if it's going to be long term.

Sorry, just ranting it out to try and let go of it.

You would think as a cancer patient just 5 years ago I’d be used to it/over it when an ER visit is necessary but here I am in the fucking waiting room with a headache more worrying than any I’ve had in my life and I’m so fucking mad about it. Fuck this dumbass body in perpetuity.

So peepaw will be having open heart surgery on monday. I am taking a leave of absence from work to take care of him. So my activity is going to be wonky in the coming weeks.

You can reach out to me via discord too, I am just letting y'all know in case I drop off the face of the earth for while.

how will Benjamin react when Mordecai eventually dies?

So (keeping in mind that this is completely in my headcanon!) I always felt Mordecai would make it to a ripe age considering his strict dietary habits. However, I imagined he’d suffer a major health issue near the end. He has a genetic predisposition to strokes from his father’s side and his mother passed from Parkinson’s in my headcanon.

Benjamin by this point is working as a doctor at Barnes Hospital so he is more than capable of aiding Mordecai in his time of need, and he does. He does his best to help him be comfortable. I think he would process Mordecai’s passing with grace. He’ll be understandably sad at the loss but content with the way he left. With a full life and plenty of memories. Unlike when his mother passed, which caused a lot of emotional turmoil and grief due to unresolved issues.

Tfw my rabbi emails me while I'm in the waiting room and I definitely don't cry a little

Doc appointment was decent, doing blood tests to screen for lupus 💀

[biffybobs]

I’m taking a wee break over the weekend so that hopefully I can get back to simming, and finishing off the Bakewell legacy, next week. I’ve been plagued by dizziness after a lingering inner ear infection for the last month and my GP also gave me new anxiety medication which, you guessed it, can make me dizzy 😵‍💫

[soliloquics]

not feeling too great so alas,, writing tomorrow

[hexcii]

First actual post of 2025!

I just want to take the time to ramble a bit about TNG. The Name Game is very special to me if I’m being honest, it’s the first fic I’ve EVER written (not counting drabbles and the random oneshots rotting in my google docs) and it’s been such a surprise to see so many people enjoying it. It’s such a weird feeling, so many people liking my writing and art feels so surreal

TNG has only been out for six months and it’s already surpassed every expectation I had of it, and I want to thank all of you guys for that :)) I never expected my lil health comfort fic to attract this much attention, it’s a little scary haha!

That’s truly what made me write this fic though, (skip this part if you don’t wanna hear about my health struggles 👍👍👍👍)

I’ve always been disabled but I had no idea I was up until maybe late 2022 to early 2023? But my health really started to decline throughout 2023-24 because 11 years of professional level circus training when I shouldn’t have been working out at all finally caught up with my piece of shit body and my symptoms got worse really really fast. And that was really fucking scary, and it’s definitely taken a toll on my mental health too. So, for comfort, I decided to turn to the dca lmao, I remember being incredibly inspired by the song Happy Hare by Yaelokre and that started this whole thing. So, I just put together the vibes I got from that song, a fnaf-esc plot along with the dca and my own struggles with my disabilities and boom! The name game woo!!!

It’s really special to me, I don’t think I would’ve been able to go through the whole medical process as well as I did without it (that’s not to say it hasn’t been a hellhole cause uh yeah healthcare kinda sucks for the disabled (and afab people) but that’s a whole other rant for another day)

Does this count as a love letter to my own fic? Oh well, I just wanted to ramble on about my feelings about it. I’ll probably write more fics after I finish TNG but I think it’ll always hold a special place in my heart <33

And ofc I wanna thank you guys for reading it and giving me so much support :]] I love reading your guys’ comments and tags (AND GOD THE FANART???? NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID I EXPECT THAT)

And also another thanks to @r0tting-rat @pluck-heartstrings @naffeclipse and @bamsara for inadvertently getting me inspired to write hehehe (sorry for the random tag I hope that it’s okay-)

And another another thanks specifically to @miahead for encouraging me to write it in the first place and dealing with my shenanigans in the process of writing each and every chapter, love you!! <3333

My hands are so bad today.

I think it's the cold combined with grocery shopping. I dropped so many things while grocery shopping and then had to grip everything harder not to.

But even before that typing was a struggle and now it's just hell. Managing this thanks to swipe on my phone.

I don't know if they're still getting worse or what. My right foot has been going to sleep oddly too.

Stupid body...

[ilikecarsandlike4people]

Right. So. Bit of an update? Putting stuff under the cut cause ik not everyone wants to hear the medical stuff👍🏻

So. I've been having some vision problems for the better part of 3 years, and I've even talked about them here previously. Blurriness, headaches and double images. 2 years ago was the last time I got my eyes checked, and then nothing seemed to be out of order. I had a check up with an optometrist yesterday and they decided to take scans of my eyes, just as a precaution. WELL, they found problems with both of my eyes, that I will have to get checked out asap (I have a time booked on Tuesday).

Apparently I have weird scarring in my eyes and an anomaly in my optic nerve. Sounds scary, but I am trying to not panic about it just yet.

That being said, I will be having testing done next week and will be a bit blind due to the eye drops they'll use during the procedure. So. Just letting you know I'll be signing off for a bit.

Love you all,

-Tuomo

(Cw: health) (This will be deleted later)

Due to sudden health issues that took me and my family by surprise, I will be taking a short break from work and pausing my plans for my future announcement.

I still don't know the extent of the damage but I'm listening to doctors and seeking treatment to find out and be able to get back as soon as possible.

My only plans for now, besides making what my doctor said, is playing a bit of BG3 and The Sims later to be distracted. So I won't be totally offline, but my timeline will be even more shitposting than updates for these moments.

[aluminia]

Yeah I don't think the amount of health anxiety I have is neurotypical

[oakthcrn-a]

Just a little bit of venting under the cut. Don't mind me.

I had to take my dad to the doctors today which is a two hour drive for us, and come to find out his heart is in worse shape than we thought. They have to put in a pacemaker and they confirmed a blockage. They need to determine just how bad the blockage is to determine if he needs open heart surgery.

This is really stressing me out, I just feel so damn helpless. My dad is good spirits which is good, but he ended up just telling me to drive home and that he didn't need me there.

They said the procedures are very common and they don't even put you under anesthesia, but I still can't help but worry. I hope they discharge him tomorrow, but I already talked to work, and they are trying to help me if I need to miss work.

just blargh, I don't know what to do with myself, I'm trying to get motivated to write.

// I'm sorry for not being active this weekend so far. I'm still recovering from the pink eye. And I got the news that my mother's health is worse than we expected and isn't going to improve. So my father was having a long talk with me on Friday about if/when she dies. I've always been very close with my mother. I knew she was sick but I'm just not ready for all of this. We talked briefly about a transplant but idk. I just don't know. I haven't been able to talk to her about it because she said she wanted to talk later. I can't even sit alone with my thoughts at all without tearing up. I know it's part of life. But man. It's so hard. Every time I start thinking I start crying. I haven't even slept much.
