#discharged from the hospital

[ldysmfrst]

Finally! I am out of the hospital!

Hello dear readers!

It’s true!

I am free!

We spoke with a wound care specialist late yesterday and we tried new treatments for the wound and it took well overnight.

So now I can go 2-3 days without messing with the wound, giving me time to have home health nurse come and administer the new treatment.

My oldest child and disabled mother were both taught how to do the treatment in case the dressing needed changed before the nurse could come.

Both of them are very secure in believing that they can do the treatment without having any problems

The walking is exhausting and I have to use a walker because I get light headed after about 50-80 feet.

Also sitting in the car or on a chair hurts because of where the wound is.

I am not allowed home because it two story so I am staying elsewhere for now.

I physically do not feel like the same person that I was before all this.

I am weak and constantly tired.

I have NEVER been the weak one in my family.

I have NEVER been the one cared for in the family

Everyone came to me to take care of them and came to me for physical and emotional strength.

I am in totally unknown territory.

But on the plus side… no more hospital food, hospital beds, 3am vital checks, 5am blood draws, and incessant visitors barging in.

lol

aftermath

[koifishhies]

oh god when karen white confronts alec at the trader’s hotel saying “i won’t let you do that to another family” and he just. stares. he was going off at her a moment before, but now he just stares. then the scene cuts. oh my GODDDDD YOU CAN SEE THE WAY IT’S EATING AT HIMMMMM

like yes alec already has a habit of just blankly not responding. he’ll follow through with a conversation and then just hop off halfway through (*cough* autism *cough*). but this time, his silence is different. it isn’t him not knowing how to respond, it’s him ACTIVELY FIGHTING TO HOLD HIS TONGUE

he made a decision to take the blame for tess and daisy’s sake, and now he just has to sit there and take it, to cope with his own decision. you can see him gritting his teeth, coming to terms with that in that moment, and it’s ONLY something you can notice in hindsight once you know about sandbrooke

100 thousand dollars for who ever kills this bitch 😭😭 WE HAVE HAD TOO MAN DAMN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS FAIL GET BETTER AIM YALL

OH MY GOD??

[stevetwisp]

still not over the fact ive spent the last couple of years becoming so lethargic and depressed it's become nearly impossible to motivate myself to do anything, including eating- despite this i make a point of going outside everyday bc my body struggles with processing certain vitamins

well yesterday i found out my body has not been processing vitamin d for who knows how long, which is causing my lethargy and lack of appetite and depression, and i am starting a treatment that involves being given a 50x the regular amount dose to get my body back in balance

im both excited and feel so vindicated i knew something was going wrong and im so glad to finally get some treatment

here's hoping i can finally become a functioning human being

7/30/2009 Wheel Spin: Captchalogue Lore Verdict: INCORRECT

7/31/2009 Wheel Spin: Parent Bad :( Verdict: EXTREMELY INCORRECT - true answer: Grandparent Good :)

There's an absolutely overwhelming amount of stuff in only three pages and LOADS to say, so I'm going to bullet point this to keep this as brief as possible because I try to write these posts within the timeframe of a single Mountain Goats album.

Rose + Dave

Those notification bubbles above the computer really exist, in Sburb at the very least! Rose knows that Dave is wearing those stupid shades confirmed.

The command is 'Rose: Pester John.' and Rose only half obeys this - she pesters, but it isn't John. Always cool to see characters push against commands, and to have expectations subverted for the reader.

Dave acknowledges that his bro might be taking puppet irony too far, and it's Rose he chooses to tell this to, explicitly saying 'don't tell John.'

Dave's bro's ventriloquist rap doll haunts him in his dreams?? This is definitely a normal sibling dynamic and definitely not something that's going to end up being super important given the general theme of the characters having dolls in their house.

What are Dave's bro's websites and are they anything like Dave's? Does Rose think Dave's bro is cooler than he is? Is this a sticking point in their friendship?

'I suspect he is preoccupied with the fact that he just had a bucket of water dumped on his head by the ghost of his dead grandmother, who also happens to be dressed like a clown.' Fucking insane thing for Rose to say. No wonder Dave has no idea what to make of it.

John + Nanna

Nannasprite is the coolest ever. Lots of her wisdom clearly comes from being a game NPC, but she dispenses it in such a grandmotherly fashion.

Nannasprite is also the most powerful character because she never has to retrieve her arms. She has one all the time, while everyone else is sometimes drawn without them.

Very interesting dynamic that John doesn't remember his nan from before she died, and is essentially getting to know her for the first time in gamesprite form.

Absolutely hilarious bit that Nannasprite pretends not to know what a computer is.

Dad + Imps

The imps on p.421 are both clown themed and have the same bodies, but different color schemes. One is a shale imp exactly like the one John thought - the other could be a different flavor of imp who drops different loot?

John is 'a fine young man just like [his] father' according to Nanna. I sure would love to know what Dad was like when he was young.

With the new knowledge of the strife portfolio, can we assume Dad uses both cakekind and broomkind? Possibly other fatherly household objects too?

Dad was kidnapped by 'the forces of darkness,' which doesn't sound very good. The imps seem like really low level enemies though, and not deserving of this title. Who do they work for? In D&D, imps are very low level fiends who serve devils and archdevils, and I believe this comes from Christian mythology. But imps aren't typically evil in and of themselves, just mischievous lackeys, so something bigger is happening.

The Lore!!!!

The Medium - makes me think of an artistic medium, as in a type/category of art or the material used to create art, or of a medium/middle between light and darkness or good and evil.

The Incipisphere - from incipient, 'beginning to happen or develop' + sphere, a uniform three-dimensional round shape. This is interesting, because the place is 'untouched by the flow of time' but also has just come into being with the beta release of Sburb and also 'somewhat paradoxically, almost has' existed apart from it. This works because I too have had older relatives tell me confusing stories that don't make logical sense.

John is not inside a computer or digital space, the computer served as a portal to a different physical space (which is also a ring of pure void). Computer (or fiction in general) as portal to another world is a common metaphor that is being made literal here.

Sburb probably dictates how much gamesprites know and how much they're allowed to tell the player. To what extent is Nannasprite 'pre-programmed' and to what extent is she making her own decisions? Is the lore she gives John completely reliable?

A little life update from me:

Hi all, long time no see 🫶 I hope everyone in this neck of the woods have been doing well, I’m sorry I’m not around too much now days.

Over the past few weeks I had started to experience loss in my eyes and was worried I had eye strain or something which was making both my job and driving at night hard. After going through multiple visits to the ophthalmologist, she had me go to the ER in case it was neurological— which it was/is.

I have been diagnosed with MS aka multiple sclerosis. The PNW is a hot spot for the disease for some reason but that also means the doctors I will be working with will be thoroughly educated and committed to providing me with the best care possible. I did a lumbar puncture so they could collect spinal fluid to run more tests to also rule out any other issues that could be present.

It has been a very scary time for me, I have an uncle with it and he’s always in need of a cane/walker/wheelchair depending on how he’s doing which scared me to think of ending up in such a way (I want to emphasize that having to use such ambulatory devices isn’t bad, but the loss of total independence does scare me deeply) but the doctors have assured me that with the right treatment and some lifestyle changes that I can carry on with my life as normal.

Anyways I should have the results from the spinal tap in about a week and then we’ll establish what my care plan is moving forward. I’m scared of learning that I have it, but I know this isn’t a death sentence and it’s just a minor detour on my life’s journey.

If you have any spare good vibes that you’d like to send me, it would be much appreciated. I think I am still in shock and have yet to truly process the news.

I would say I would be happy to answer any questions but I don’t have jackshit for answers rn LOL

Thanks for reading :)
