[bougainvillea-and-saltwater]

There’s an. undescribable amount of terror, I think, when you feel like a health issue that tormented you in the past knocks at your door again like. HELLO. HI, BABY >:)

I kinda knew it was going to happen and it did...

Went on a four day bender last week and right at the end my heart decided it wanted to begin to skip a few beats...

It was at that moment,about 12:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday,that the bender was over after four days,five days without sleep and almost three 8 balls consumed with friends...

It scared me and it was only yesterday that I felt good enough to start sucking the glass cock again...but with a lot less in it

So if you're on a long bender listening to your body's voice could save your life

Some day there will be studies showing the effects of October 7 on the health of ordinary Israelis like me. I have no doubt that others have felt the physical impacts of the war. The saga of my health "scare" continues.

[hippolotamus]

you spoke to me so sweetly [Alexis/Twyla | E | 2.6k]

Alexis hums her appreciation, letting her eyes fall closed while Twyla repeats the circuitous route, and breathing in the blend of lavender and lemon oil her wife insisted upon for “calm and good luck��. The temporary serenity only lasts for three or four passes until a light knock at the door interrupts. She doesn’t try to hide her instant pout when the gentle pressure disappears and she’s forced to open her eyes again.

Dr. Rist breezes inside, far too perky in Alexis’s opinion. Perhaps it’s a good sign. Despite her nerves, Alexis plasters her PR smile on, and clasps Twyla’s hand – the only tell she’ll allow to indicate she’s worried while they wait to find out what kind of life changing the appointment will be. Sitting here, in the highly impersonal room with its speckled tile floor and wallpaper with tiny, faded flowers is one of the few times Alexis has doubted her self-proclaimed ability to girl boss her way out of something.

“Well,” Dr. Rist says. “Alexis. Twyla. Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s begin, shall we?”

Just got home from a 9 hour ER visit with Hubs. I don't have the energy to write it all out but the short version is he has been having chest pains for a few weeks and has an appointment with cardiology scheduled for Friday. Today the pain was so bad that he came into the nursery (where I have been working) crying saying he needed to go to the ER. I know he's scared and anxious which is definitely amplifying everything. He looked at me with teary eyes and said, "I need to go but I'm afraid of putting too much stress on you and sending you into early labor." 😭

So we went. He begged me to stay home but that just wasn't an option. We are a team and support each other through everything. Lots of bloodwork and a CT scan later and we ruled out all major and imminent issues. No signs of heart attack, no signs of irregularities with the heart, no blood clots, no fluid in the lungs, no cancer. He has some inflammation in one lung that they think might be residual from COVID. So we follow up with cardiology and pulmonary for precaution, but it looks like this will just take time and rest and he will be fine.

It's scary when your person has a health scare. I can't raise this little girl on my own so I need him to stay healthy. I think there is still more to learn but I feel more reassured today that he will be ok.

OMG OKAY STORYTIME When I was 15 I found a lump on my breast and I panicked, I was a little trans baby with boobies what was I supposed to do and I told my mom and she panics which did not help my panic and she zoomies to the ER and we wait for 2 GODDAMN HOURS just for them to say well we need an ultrasound SO WE WAIT ANOTHER HOUR and they do the thing and they go okay not cancer it's a cyst and we go okay how did it get there the doctor looks at us, shrugs, and goes I dunno. whAt anyway so we go okay can you get rid of she says no we say why the hell did we come here she says this ER doesn't have a child surgery unit.

'I Lost but Still Won': Tyson vs. Paul fight Attracted Over 60 million Viewers

In a recent social media post, boxing legend Mike Tyson revealed a life-threatening health crisis he faced in June 2024. Tyson disclosed that he underwent eight blood transfusions, lost half of his blood, and shed 25 pounds during hospitalization. This severe health scare led to the postponement of his scheduled fight with Jake Paul, originally set for July 20, 2024. Despite these significant…

I had an awesome day yesterday and now I'm in the ER bc I can't walk. Life is crazy. Idk if I'm staying in the hospital or not bc I have a bunch of other symptoms. A lot of testing now

[thebaddragon]

So my mom has been in the hospital for an abdominal aortic occlusion; she has 15% perfusion to her left leg and 50% perfusion to her right leg.

Basically, she has a blockage via clot and plague to her aortic artery leading from the heart at the abdomen under the kidneys to the legs.

And clots in her legs. Of course.

So they don't know of its a blood disorder or autoimmune that caused it, but they sent her home on an oral blood thinner and pain medication to manage pain from the lack of blood flow to the legs, while they wait to decide when to do an aortoiliac bifemoral bypass with a prosthetic graft.

It's supposed to be within a week and a half, but they are still literally keeping information to themselves and waiting til the last minute to provide anything to us and her. But also, they just don't know.

It's been a long week.

I once had bells palsy, which looks similar to a stroke in your face and as a result of the facial drooping I was having trouble speaking. So it really sounded/looked like I was having a stroke to that intial doctor until someone thought of bells palsy. Eight months of tests and dealing with shit doctors telling me unhelpful things like stop eating red meat(I rarely do), stop drinking so much caffeine (I already rarely drank caffeine because it upsets my stomach), and pain/nerve issues on the right side of my skull. Eight months and then it was discovered I had shingles on my head the whole time! No ever bothered to actually look at my scalp despite my complaints and my thick hair was hiding all of it. And it could have made me blind or deaf on that side.

This is asking about any significantly life altering or life threatening physical disease, infection, or accident that a medical specialist would have needed to test/treat you for.

Anon had a cancer scare that thankfully turned out to be benign, but some bad info and a long waitlist made for a very stressful time. They're wondering how many others have been there!

A Health Scare

Archie sat stubbornly in his favorite armchair, clutching his chest. The worn leather creaked beneath him, a familiar comfort he couldn't find solace in today. He had been feeling unwell for days, but his pride kept him from admitting it.

Edith approached him, concern etched on her face. Her eyes, usually bright and warm, now held a deep worry.

"Archie, you need to see a doctor," she pleaded, her voice trembling.

Archie's face reddened, but his voice lacked conviction. "Ah, stifle it, Edith. I'm fine."

Edith's grip on his hand tightened. "But Archie, you haven't been yourself lately. Please, just this once, listen to me." Her voice cracked.

"I'm telling you, Edith, I'm fine," Archie insisted, his tone softening.

That night, as Edith was preparing for bed, she heard a thud from the living room. Rushing out, she found Archie collapsed on the floor. Panic surged through her.

"Archie! Oh God, Archie!" she screamed, calling 911.

The Hospital Room:

Archie woke to beeping machines and Edith's tear-stained face.

"Edith," he croaked.

"Oh, Archie," she whispered, tears streaming down. "You scared me half to death."

Archie's eyes filled with regret. "I'm sorry, Edith. I didn't mean to worry you."

Edith's voice broke. "Archie, you need to take care of yourself. I can't lose you."

Their hands intertwined, Archie confessed, "I was scared. I didn't want to burden you."

"I'm your wife, Archie. It's my job to worry," Edith replied.

As the hospital room's fluorescent lights hummed above, Archie's gaze locked onto Edith's.

"I love you, Edith. I always have and always will," Archie said.

"I love you too, Archie. I can't imagine my life without you," Edith replied.

"I don't know what I'd do without you, Edith. You're my rock, my everything," Archie admitted, his voice breaking.

"And you're mine, Archie. We'll get through this together," Edith said, squeezing his hand.

Archie leaned in and gently kissed Edith, a kiss filled with love, apology, and promise.

Heartfelt Conversations:

During recovery, they shared fears and love.

"I was scared, Edith," Archie admitted.

"Archie, we're in this together. Always," Edith reassured.

"I know I've been stubborn, but I promise I'll do better," Archie said.

"And I'll be more patient. We'll get through this, Archie," Edith replied.

Renewed Commitment:

Archie vowed to prioritize health; Edith promised patience.

Symbolic Gesture:

Archie gifted Edith a locket with a note: "To my Edith, my heart and soul."

Edith's eyes welled up. "Oh, Archie, it's beautiful."

Rebuilding Trust:

Hand in hand, they left the hospital.

"I love you, Edith. Always have, always will," Archie said.

"I love you too, Archie. Let's take care of each other," Edith replied.

Back home, they sat on the couch, side by side.

The warm lamp glow symbolized their renewed bond.

"I'm sorry for being stubborn," Archie whispered.

"I'm sorry for not pushing harder," Edith replied.

Their fingers intertwined, they sat in comfortable silence.

Days passed, and Archie slowly recovered. Edith stayed by his side, managing his medication and physical therapy.

One afternoon, in the hospital garden, Archie turned to Edith with a contrite expression.

"Edith, I realize I took our time for granted," Archie confessed.

"And I realize I should've pushed you harder to see a doctor," Edith replied.

Their hands swayed gently, a soothing rhythm.

"I promise to cherish every moment," Archie said.

"I promise to support you, always," Edith replied.

Their love and commitment enveloped them.

Epic and Everyday Challenges

How about this scripture to start your day in a merry way? “The breakers of death surged round about me, the destroying floods overwhelmed me. The cords of the nether world enmeshed me, the snares of death overtook me” (Psalm 18:4-5). It sounds more like we’ve stumbled into an action movie script rather than a morning devotion! Sounds intense, right? I have found myself in some sticky situations…
