Some important tweets /⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ CN / Abuse, DV, M*rder. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ID Slide 1 / People have pathologized my stance on pandemic precautions by dismissing it as an inability to cope with change but I would just like to say that I am actually doing great at adjusting to the objectively different reality we are living in now.

More Reviews: Survival: The Covid Years

Thank you so much to @Zooloo's Book tour for organising Survival: The Covid Years 'book tour' and to her bloggers for their reviews.

Why I wrote Survival: 'The Covid Years'

I wrote the book so that I could feel better and so that I would come to understand and come to terms with what was the most difficult period of my mental and emotional disability.

For anyone living with a mental and emotional disability is difficult, living with a mental and emotional disability at a time when there is a killer disease on the loose, impossible. Although I was never in a position to change how the pandemic was being handled, being proactive and doing something to make myself feel better, eventually helped me to come to terms with the virus a little better.

The ethos behind the book

"By shedding light on her personal challenges through the pandemic, Ilana encourages the reader to explore the thoughts and feelings raised by their own pandemic journey. In this way she aims to unlock future potential for others, enabling them to move on from this enormously difficult time. A must read for anyone wanting to take positive steps after the challenges of Covid-19.”

Thank you, Partner @Ilana_Estelle_Author, @RedDoorBooks, and @zooloosbooktours.

💬MY THOUGHTS💬

It's fair to say that none of us saw COVID or a global panic coming nor did we understand how long and the extent to which this would impact our lives at all levels. I've dealt with anxiety most of my adult life and like many, the pandemic sent me into a level of anxiety I hadn't known. I think the hardest part was all of the unknowns combined with a massive amount of people dying from this invisible killer.

Other reasons for my increased anxiety include my 90+ year old grandma being in an assisted living facility, my parents living halfway across the country in a state that did not lock down as much as Oregon did, and finally we unexpectedly lost my brother to a heart attack. Sadly, I wasn't able to go home for his memorial service and since it was outside it wasn't live streamed. v I say all of this to say, I enjoyed this book and can't fathom how difficult it was for the author during this time. I appreciate the author's candid tale is honest, raw, and vulnerable. In this book she documents her feelings and explains her story in a clear and concise manner. I was hooked from start to finish and found myself identifying with her in more ways than one. I highly recommend this book to all!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’ve read Ilana's first book then you’ll love this continuing journey by Ilana. Ilana really shows you what it was like for people during the pandemic as well as her own. Ilana not only has cerebral palsy but she also has autism. Reflecting back its eye opening to remember what it was like individually during the pandemic in terms of emotional, mental and physical needs. There’s something about reading another individual's story that makes you feel like what you encountered is almost normal and that we are not alone. It’s lovely reading how someone that suffered so immensely turned their life into positive motivations. It shows that roller coasters are meant to be ridden and hurdles are meant to be jumped over.

Ilana really hit home for me and I truly found this inspiring, motivational and heart warming. It shows you how even how the pandemic is over it can still leave challenging emotions that people continue to struggle with. You really feel yourself becoming invested into Ilana’s perspective and there is so much honesty written in the words. I’ll be honest and during the pandemic I was lucky to have my family surrounding me and it really puts into perspective how naive I was with how other people were struggling and facing individual challenges. This is a phenomenal read and truly beautifully written.

We should not skimp on hugs these days. (But of course, be safe and all.)

Whoever said Black dresses are boring and basic has never met me! There’s lots of ways to dress up and add your own flair to the classic #LBD for every occasion, and one of my favorite ways is by adding a bold, bright lip! speaking of bold lip looks, i Think I finally completed the never ending quest to find the #perfectred! it’s no secret that I’ve always been a fan of fierce #redlips, but finding the right shade that stays on and doesn’t bleed all over my face has been a major challenge, that is until I found @gxvebeauty by @gwenstefani during my first big trip to an actual #irl @sephora in MORE THAN TWO YEARS, because #pandemiclife, and discovered this absolutely amazing #liquidlipstick it feels amazing on my lips, tastes like cake, and best of all doesn’t smudge or transfer when I accidentally touch my mouth or try to eat or drink!!! I’m in love, the only problem is it’s currently only available in one color, and while this red is totally gorgeous, I need this formula in every color of the rainbow, please!! I love bright lipstick, but I can be hard to wear as part of every day make up looks, but I’m calling it now @gxvebeauty Is totally going to change the game in that regard and I couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities!!

“We wanted to help people

We were smart and driven

We loved science and physiology, humans and disease

So we made a commitment

We signed up

It was an honor

We read thousands of pages

Attended hundreds of lectures

Pulled all-nighters

Took more exams than we thought possible

Finals week felt insurmountable

But it didn’t break us

It made us stronger

We learned statistics and biochemistry

Immunology and pathophysiology

We mastered genetics, virology and pharmacology

We read scientific papers and learned how to dissect them

Papers, not videos

It was an honor

We came running when you needed us

Literally, running down the hallway

To the ICU, the trauma bay, labor and delivery

I need help, you said

We can help, we said

It was an honor

There were moments that we thought would break us

Moments that drove us to journaling, to therapy, to nightmares

Broken babies.

Paralyzed children.

Dead pregnant mothers with three kids at home.

The wail of a mother whose son just died.

We bent but we did not break

We returned because you needed us

And we could help

It was an honor

Then there was fear

Fear of walking into our place of work

Fear that we’d be killed by going to work

Fear that we’d kill a loved one because of our work

There were tears and sleepless nights and anti-anxiety medications

But you banged your pots and pans

You sent us pizzas and called us heroes

You needed us

We could help

So we wore our masks, and our gowns, and our gloves, and our goggles

We decontaminated ourselves before going home and isolated ourselves from our families

We almost broke

It was an honor

How quickly the joy turned to defeat

Elation to rage

You’ve learned to do your own research now

You know better than we do

Gaslighting is your language

Your selfishness is astounding

You don’t want our help when we ask you to stay healthy

Yet you arrive at our doors begging for help at the end

You stole our resources

You hobbled our ability to help those who did what they were supposed to do

You killed our patients by filling our beds and using up our ventilators

We can’t help any more

You broke us

There is no more honor”

- Anonymous

This is a poem written by a fellow physician after reflecting on the veteran who died in Texas because of the ICU bed shortage.

Looking at these pictures I’ve taken over the last few days makes me feel sad. I look so depleted. Being sick with Covid has completely upended my life. The fatigue is relentless. I’ve had the worst migraines of my life, with searing light sensitivity. I’m plagued with almost constant vertigo, and my blood pressure has been so high at times that I’ve been worried about risk of stroke. I’ve had 2 urgent care visits and 2 ER stays. When I imagined what being sick with Covid would be like over the last 2 years, I mostly imagined gasping for breath and wheezing, with primarily respiratory symptoms. But it’s been more cardiovascular and neurological for me. My lab work from the ER last night showed elevated liver enzymes and decreased kidney function. It’s wreaking havoc on so many body systems. I’m grateful that I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I fell ill with Covid in the omicron surge (rather than the original Covid and Delta waves). I’m trying to get a little bit of exercise by slowly walking around my house. You’ve heard of Cupid’s Shuffle…this is my Covid shuffle. I miss going to the gym and having cardio workouts. I’m sad to lose my 38 week gym streak. But I’m resting, taking my vitamins, hydrating, and doing what I can to beat this. I hope you are able to avoid the intensity of this virus that I’ve been hit with. #covid_19 #covidpositive #covidshuffle #ervisit #pandemiclife https://www.instagram.com/p/CZbHvYwAbGi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kaka-cellphone mo ‘yan! Puro ka Internet!

Nag-umpisa sa mga hiroglipiko ang unang basehan ng impormasyon ng ating mga ninuno. Umunlad at lumawak ang kanilang kaalaman hanggang sa nabuo ang alpabeto, nagkaroon ng mga libro, at ngayon ay mayroon nang kapangyarihan ang teknolohiya sa kung papaanong ang impormasyon ay ating ipapasa. 

Sa kasalukuyang panahon ay patuloy na umuusbong ang teknolohiya, lalo pa at limitado ang ating mga galaw sa labas ng tahanan. Gumagamit na tayo ng Internet, kung saan sa pamamagitan ng ating mga gadyet ay malaya tayong nakakadiskubre ng bagong kaalaman at kagigiliwan. Gamit ang Internet, halos lahat ng ating pangangailangan ay napupunan: pag-aaral, pagtatrabaho, at pagsasaya.

Bilang isang mag-aaral na nakikinabang sa benepisyo ng Internet, mayroon akong kakayahang magbigay-hatid ng impormasyong tingin ko ay nais ninyong malaman. Maaaring simple at maiksi lamang, ngunit dapat ninyong tandaan: Malaki ang tulong ng Internet sa ating pag-aaral at pagtatagumpay.

#KSP. Komunikasyon sa Paaralan.

Sa kabila ng pandemyang bumabalot sa ating bansa, nagagamit natin ang Internet upang patuloy na magkaroon ng komunikasyon sa pagitan nating mga mag-aaral at ng mga guro. Mayroon ang Google Classroom upang maipasa natin ang mga takdang aralin sa lahat ng asignatura, mayroon namang Messenger na nagagamit natin upang makipag-usap sa mga kaklase tuwing mayroong mga aktibidad-panggrupo, at mayroon ding Google Meet at Zoom upang direktang maituro sa atin ang mga paksang kanilang ibinabahagi. Sa tulong ng Internet, kahit mahirap ay naitutuloy natin ang komunikasyong kailangan upang maging maayos ang daloy ng pag-aaral.

#Marites. Mare, ano ang latest?

Dahil sa dali ng paggamit ng Internet, mas mabilis na kumalat ang mga impormasyong dito rin nakikita. Bukod dito, mas updated din ang mga impormasyon dahil hindi na kailangan pang limbagin ang mga ito. Sa loob ng kaunting minuto, maraming pagbabago ang nangyayari sa mundo at mayroon ang Internet upang ipakita sa ating lahat ang mga pagbabagong ito. Kasabay nito ang panganib dahil sa bilis ding kumalat ng mga fake news, o mga impormasyong walang katotohanan, kaya responsibilidad nating siguraduhin munang totoo ang balita bago natin ito ibahagi sa iba. Maging isang mabuting Marites!

#TipidAral. Tipid na sa oras at pera, nakapag-aral ka pa!

Gamit ang Internet, hindi na natin kailangang gumastos sa pamasahe at pagbili ng mga libro sapagka’t maaari na nating mahanap dito ang mga nais nating malaman. Nakakatipid din tayo sa oras dahil hindi na kailangan pang lumabas ng bahay para lamang maghanap ng mga mapagkukunan ng tamang impormasyong gagamitin natin sa pag-aaral. Kapaki-pakinabang at napapanahon ito sapagka’t maraming mga magulang ang nawalan ng trabaho ngayong kasagsagan ng pandemya. Dahil sa Internet, patuloy tayong nakapag-aaral dahil hindi kailangang gumastos nang napakalaking salapi para lamang makakuha ng kaalaman at makasabay sa iba.

Buong mundo na ang nakikinabang sa mga benepisyo ng Internet. Bata man o matanda, mayroon tayong mga ginagawang mas mabisa at mabilis na natatapos dahil dito. Sa pag-aaral nating mga estudyante, nakita ko ang papel na ginampanan ng Internet. Binigyan tayo nito ng oportunidad na magkaroon pa rin ng komunikasyon, napapanahong mga balita, at makapag-ipon pa. Bilang mag-aaral na may pusong nagpapasalamat, #InternetSaludoAngMgaEstudyanteSayo.

Ibinibigay ko ang kredito ng mga larawang nagamit sa mga may-ari at kumuha nito.

I hear you, you’re an anti-vaxxer at heart. Masks are nothing but chitinous impediments to a more natural way of sharing your mucus with those you really love (and with total strangers, too, btw) and washing your hands with soap is sooo Before Christ (2800 years BC, to be exact). I get it, I really do, but not getting a vaccine isn’t the only way to fuck your shit up (…and everyone else’s). If you wanna REALLY risk it and live life recklessly, just get a paper cut right now. You’re fucked if you put a bandaid on it because most aren’t completely waterproof and/or they have fun little crevices that act as moist mini-Petrie dishes of doom, and you’re fucked if you don’t because now you have an open cut in which almost anything would love to enter (it’s okay if you don’t believe in Covid—there are heaps of other amazing pathogens out there, like MRSA, tetanus, and necrotizing fasciitis)!

PS—Please use a fucking bandaid if you need one, just be careful with what you touch and how you clean up afterward. Replace bandaids frequently and clean your wound properly with soap and water and/or things like rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, etc.

PSS—This post was birthed after my realization that I would need to wear a bandaid during a pandemic, a situation that sprouted from an accident I had whilst watering my plants (please do not judge me, I’m a clumsy fuck). I’m fine, my small cut is fine, and the whole wielding-a-bandaid-during-a-pandemic thing went okay, thank you for your concern. Please note that I’m not a certified licensed medical doctor to trash mammals—always seek medical advice from your own certified licensed medical care team if you need to.
