Many e-commerce sites offer sustainable fabrics, like organic cotton and bamboo, which are grown without the use of harsh chemicals and pesticides. These fabrics are not only better for the environment, but they are also softer and more comfortable on your skin.

ginhiji hospital au??
I needed to get this off of my brain and I can’t draw or write so here it goes... Ginhiji but Hijikata is a nurse working in a hospital and Gintoki is the new resident who comes off as lazy but is actually a really good doctor (which surprises our boy Toushi)
More thoughts under the cut? (I have more thoughts about hijikata because.... i have more experience there LOL)
I’ve been a working nurse for more than half a year now so I kind of know what I’m talking about? (but not really because i’m definitely still a baby nurse that’s still learning OTL) but really im a baby don’t ask me specifics
I got into Gintama super late and I have so many regrets because it’s taken over my life. 
hijikata working in either medsurg, ICU, or emergency because it’s not slow, needs great time management skills and working under pressure /but i have a bias for medsurg because that’s where i am right now... but i feel like he would definitely be the same kind of intense that some ICU nurses i know are... 
he’s definitely the type to not take a proper break at work... would probably eat saltines from the nutrition room 
reason 1: he’s too busy
reason 2: hates to go on break if he has to leave hella shit for the person covering him (so he give all his meds, clean his patients, give pain meds...make sure they NEVER call the person covering him on break) but that also means when things don’t calm down he feels like there’s never an opening for one
meanwhile he will give meds, clean patients, and do everything for whoever he covers for break 
when this happens kondo sends yamazaki to cover him for breaks because you can’t tell patients to eat their food when you haven’t eaten toushi 
is really good at putting in IVs, nobody on the unit even tries to put them in when he’s working they’ll just ask him to do it for them
a charting superuser lol
his brain... impeccable. a work of art. a pinnacle of organization. made his own because the hospital issued one doesn’t work for him
probably looks something like this
note: allows you do just quickly circle things during shift change instead of writing it all down...i would probably make past medical history section bigger though (do i use a sheet like this? no because i am... organized chaos and writing it down helps ME--but toushi probably wants to take as little time possible writing shit down) 
reads his work e-mail, even the newsletters from the hospital
kondo is nurse manager and is a very supportive one (the potlucks!!! tries his best to make sure everyone feels supported at work ; w ;) hired hijikata..
when hijikata is charge, the work is distributed evenly thank god 
also “it’s an hour until shift change and if this patient doesn’t come up in 10 minutes they’re not coming until after shift change” 
everyone asks him for help because he knows all the hospital policies
what nurse isn’t frustrated with doctors lets be real 
exhibit A: “my patient is in TEARS with 10/10 pain and the doctors have the audacity to ask if THEY TRIED TO DISTRACT THEMSELVES WITH ART?” (this is a literal conversation I’ve had with a resident before) 
hates talking to interns because he ends up having to teach them how to do their job 
hates talking to jaded attendings
only attending he likes is shouyo
used to have long hair in nursing school but cut it after his ponytail got into some shit during a bed bath 
still smokes.. kondo hates it because we’ve all seen what it’s done to our patients and you still smoke?
has tried to quit but never works out
gintoki also gets on his case about it
just imagine hijikata in those black figs joggers scrubs UGH 
in this universe they’re called digs because copyright and this is still gintama we’re talking about
these scrubs are unnecessarily expensive so he didn’t actually buy them himself ( “why the fuck would i buy expensive scrubs if i am going to get literal shit on it”).. if left to his own devices he will wear those ugly ass hospital issued scrubs
Kondo and his other friends split the price for the black joggers and a 3 pocket scrub top -- because we all know hijikata puts ALL his supplies in his pockets. he NEEDS pockets
Gintoki thinks his ass looks good in those joggers UGH 
Hijikata won’t admit it but the digs are his favorite pair they are so comfortable. still won’t buy them with his own money though
student nurses are scared of him because he’s intense and asks hard questions, really strict... doesn’t bully but pushes students and orientees really hard
but also any one who can survive being trained by him becomes an excellent nurse
that nurse that’s on top of their shit and THINKS instead of just following orders
“saw his potassium is high. can we do something about that?”
“there wasn’t continuous oxygen monitoring ordered but i put them on because it doesn’t look good. can we get an order for that” 
all the doctors trust him because he’s just so goOD
gets on gintoki’s case about looking like a bum at the hospital all the time
if he EVER catches wind of doctors talking down to his nurses or older nurses bullying the newer ones (which never really happens because kondo is a great manager who fosters a very nontoxic work culture) they will...FEEL. HIS. WRATH. 
also will not tolerate patients treating him (or his coworkers) like shit. will be more professional dealing with patients tho than with the MDs. but if it’s an MD berating a nurse, they better be ready to get their ass KICKED
Gintoki is the new resident along with katsura and takasugi in.... internal medicine? surgery? idk? 
i mostly just wanted write this one: hijikata has a patient in a pain crisis 10/10 pain, given all available pain meds, tried everything possible but still no relief. paged the new resident working with this patient 
hijikata fully expects either a call saying “sorry i can’t order any more pain medicine for this patient” or just another IV medicine ordered with no communication at all 
but gintoki comes into the patient’s room (first thing hijikata notices is unprofessional hair, wrinkled jacket, mismatching socks and thinks this doctor is going to be lazy AF), speaks to the patient with great bedside manner, talks to the patient about pain management strategies and WORKS WITH THEM for a better plan for medication. walks with the patient in the hall and even takes them to the bathroom 
hijikata is FLOORED. because this never happens with MDs.
(this has actually happened and me and all my coworkers were SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED)
hijikata once sent gintoki a message asking if he wanted to lower the dose for a medication because the lab for it was high 
gintoki thought he was the pharmacist because hijikata is just that good
likes the sound of hijikata’s voice on the phone so he always returns his pages even if it’s just to say “ok i’ll put the order in” 
secretly gets excited when he sees hijikata’s name on the chart under the care team 
one because he’s hot
two because he’s a good nurse
actually learns a lot from hijikata
gets to know hijikata’s bad break habits and gives him a coffee whenever he notices he’s working (but is absolutely disgusted when he brings out the mayonnaise)
“how can you tell your patients to be healthy when you put that shit in everything you eat?” 
hijikata counters with “you can’t tell me what to eat when you’re on your way to diabetes asshole” 
tries to be the kind of MD shouyo is 
being in healthcare is hard so the two of them do drink together if their days off line up to vent....
hijikata complains about dumb MDs (gintoki makes mental notes on how to not be an annoying MD), how busy his days are, and why are we always understaffed... how can we run out of IVs? 
gintoki complains about all the calls he gets, how stressful residency is, why are rounds so early, that midget takasugi, the long ass working hours, being on call fuckin sucks
both bond over sharing crazy stories about patients or how their day went....also hospital complaints because what healthcare worker doesn’t complain about their hospital 
get into “who’s job is more stressful” arguments a lot
on particularly hard (emotionally, physically, mentally) days the other would show up with a bag of food and drinks? 
when the two start dating, it’s usually just... hanging out at work? 
if somehow by some miracle, they get their breaks together (if at all) they eat together
if they do have days off together they usually spend it sleeping (literally you guys) or relaxing at one of their apartments
sleep deprived healthcare workers lead to many....petty...arguments but they make up by the end 
it’s late and i have more thoughts? but i have work tomorrow. but i needed to get this OUT OF MY BRAIN.
also feel free to message me about any of this!! :) asks are always open hehe

What TO Stock for An APOCALYPSE, PART FIVE (Updated)
KNOWLEDGE and a set of OLD-FASHIONED SURVIVAL SKILLS will probably serve you better after a cataclysm than almost anything else.
Tumblr media
 If you spend time ruminating on all the things that happen in America and the rest of the modern world, things that keep us alive and generally healthy, you will notice a nearly unfathomable list of occurrences in the background of our lives—goods and services we consider essential but never stop to think about. (Though COVID-19 has forced us to think about many of them now.)
 Aside from water, food, and electricity, there are sewers, healthcare systems (such as they are), public health departments, libraries, roads, transportation, infrastructure, law and order, government, police and fire departments, medicines, education, art, music, news from near and far, the internet, an endless array of things to buy if we can afford them, innumerable places to travel, and gobs of stuff competing for our time. Much or even all of this would break down and be gone in a true apocalypse. The people who survive will be those who know how to handle much of this stuff themselves.
Tumblr media
 Since this list is so endless, and because my purpose is not to bore you to death with details, my exhortation to you readers is to please do your best to learn how to survive and prepare on your own. Given the rapid pace of climate change, even if we don’t fall all the way into apocalypse, we are likely to be forced to scale way the hell back. We should scale back. We need to scale back. We all know that the Earth cannot sustain our pre-pandemic lifestyles.
Tumblr media
 For the record, I am not a prepper. I do not go around freaking out about the coming End of Days. But I do cogitate on these things from time to time, and I write novels about possible scenarios. In my novels, I took a different route than the standard apocalyptic tale. My assumption is that it would take a great deal of time for civilization to fully collapse. At least initially, much human morality and compassion will remain. If people try hard to work together, and if the situation allows, they can keep the deterioration from becoming complete.
So, become men, women, and children of the New Renaissance and learn how things work and alternative ways to do them, practice old skills and learn new ones, stretch your brains and your imaginations. Toward that end, here are some of the areas that we all need to bone up on, aside from what I have already discussed in earlier posts:
·         Learn and practice old-fashioned skills like: soap-making; candle-making; laundry without electricity or plumbing; knitting; sock-darning; fire-building; quilting; basketry; rope-making; carpentry; gravity-fed plumbing; hair cutting; butter churning; cheese making; chair caning; furniture building; cabinetry; glass-making; log-splitting; barn building; shoe-making; the creation of eyeglasses; dentistry; the making, patching, and mending of clothes; spinning and weaving; undertaking; nutrition; sanitation; the making of acoustical music and natural art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
·         Study outhouses and ways of keeping them sanitary. They can spread deadly disease if they aren’t well-managed. Composting toilets are a great way to go, but they still have to be clean, preferably with something that actually kills germs. And you have to know where to dig an outhouse if you want to keep your groundwater clean. I once lived on a commune. Before I got there, dozens of people got hepatitis from drinking water downstream from a neighbor’s outhouse. Don’t repeat that mistake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
 ·         While I am neither a gun owner nor a fan of guns, and I’m not an alarmist or someone who wants to see more guns stockpiled in this world, you may need a means of protecting yourself. You’ll want to learn self-defense.
Tumblr media
 ·         You will need bicycles, wagons, carts, dollies, wheelbarrows, skateboards, roller skates, buggies with horses and food to feed them—ways to get around and to haul heavy stuff: Ropes, chains, skids, etc.
·         If you can, start stocking critical supplies: soaps, matches, toilet paper, pens, pencils, paper, pulleys, candles, needles and thread, yarn, ladders, toothbrushes and toothpaste, tools, knives, woodstoves, grills, firewood, water and food storage containers, charcoal, clothing, shoes, kerosene, bleach, lime, wind-up radios (which will charge cell phones, if the phones still work), wind-up flashlights, washing tubs, buckets and bins, clotheslines and clothespins, washboards, boots, shoes, long underwear, batteries, lighters, good jackets, and socks—lots and lots of socks.
Tumblr media
  ·         You will need to know about medical care, including the standard Western medicine we practice now, plus Eastern medicine and folk medicine. You’ll want to know how to grow medicinal plants and herbs, and you should stockpile basics: whatever meds you personally need to stay alive, as well as aspirin, antibiotics, antacids, anti-diarrheals, Tylenol, beaucoup asthma inhalers, insulin and other diabetic meds, blood pressure meds, first-aid supplies, splints, crutches, wheelchairs, IV equipment and fluids, scalpels, pump respirators, stethoscopes, otoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, tweezers, vitamins, minerals, skin creams, sunscreen, antibiotic and cortisone ointments, CBD oil, on and on and on.
·         You’ll need the means to educate your children and to continue learning yourselves.
·         You’ll want things to help you pass the time—especially the long winter nights with poor lighting: board games, card games, dice games, jacks, paddle balls, outdoor sports equipment, hobby stuff, acoustic musical instruments, art supplies, those balls you roll around in your hands when you’re tense, and BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
More than anything, you’ll need quick wits, unbending determination, and people to love.
Here are many of my reasons to stay alive and to NEVER, EVER GIVE UP:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And whatever you do, DO NOT forget the duct tape!
Tumblr media

REASONS YOU SHOULD INVEST IN A GOOD PAIR OF HEALTH SOCKS TODAY
Socks are new fashion favorites of the decade, from statement looks to being the comfort clothing for a cozy day at home, socks are here to stay. There are quite a few types of socks serving all types of purposes from athleisure to winter socks. The most favorite pair of socks are the ankle length, calf and mid-calf length and the knee high length socks, the variation does not stop at this but the no-show socks are a favorite among the women. Socks are not the boring afterthought anymore but they are quirky and funky that come in different prints and patterns. They way socks were perceived before versus how they are perceived now have changed owing to the difference in material and the planning that goes into making of a single pair of good quality socks. From brands like Puma to Jockey have dedicated a whole different section to socks on the other hand new brands like MORAMOJA which is an exclusive sock brand are selling personalized specially crafted and designed socks.
Tumblr media
Among the wide variety and types of socks already available what is gaining popularity are the health socks, they are specially curated for the better health and maintenance of your feet and prevents the spread of any infection that may build up through your feet into your body due the moisture and sweat accumulation in the feet from wearing bad quality socks for long hours. Even medical practitioners are suggesting special diabetic socks for people with diabetes. The best thing about such socks like therapeutic socks, compression socks, diabetic socks is that they give the benefit of maintaining healthy feet and in turn a healthy body.
It is a wrong notion that socks made of 100% cotton are the best for your feet, however they are not since pure cotton traps the sweat in the feet and causes problems like skin irritation which later takes the shape of foot blisters, corns, calluses, bacterial or fungal growth and foul odor. It is thus advised to wear socks of synthetic and cotton blends that have moisture wicking capabilities. These socks are anatomically measured and made for an optimal and good fit that snugs to your skin and sits on your feet without causing any irritation, durable, lightweight and have heavy cushioning in the right places acting as shock absorbents. Health socks are generally prescribed to athletes or people who have diabetes or orthopedic problems but they can be worn by all irrespective of age or gender.
Compression socks which are considered as health socks have shown positive effects on people with venous diseases or the ones who have to air travel frequently or have jobs where they have to stand for long hours, they are best for the ankle and heel areas. Compression socks now are made with advanced knitting technologies which make them lightweight and durable, not just that they are available in light, moderate firm and anti-embolism type ranges, all sizes and with a fashionable touch for both men and women nowadays. They reduce swelling of feet and ankles and keep you comfortable while working for long hours.
Another very important type of health socks would be the Diabetic socks, they reduce chances of diabetic foot wounds and other foot related problems. The care of the feet for diabetic patients is a necessary especially for the ones suffering from diabetic neuropathy since if foot ulcers go unnoticed it can cause amputation in the long run. These socks are specially made for light compression, protection from external damage, have therapeutic and comforting benefits and reduce pressure points some of them even have moisture wicking and antibacterial capabilities. Thus while buying diabetic socks make sure they have seamless design, light padding, not too much compression factor, moisture wicking feature and are made from a blend of synthetic and cotton since 100% cotton lets the moisture build up in the feet and cause skin irritation and fungal problems.
Health socks have been benefitting people of all ages with or without any health defect and especially athletes or the ones involved in extremely strenuous work and activities, however before actually buying a pair for yourself consulting a health expert is advised to get what suits you the best.

Gifts For Diabetics
If you know someone with diabetes, you know their condition impacts many aspects of their life. Depending on their symptoms, they may need special equipment to manage their health. This may include a blood sugar monitor or special shoes, for example, which make great gifts for diabetics.
Fortunately, companies are manufacturing more gifts for diabetics to make their lives easier. Below, we’ll look at some of the best gifts for diabetics in 2019 and how they could help someone you love manage their symptoms.
These may include tools to improve their health or diabetic-friendly snacks to satisfy cravings. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, or holiday, you’ll know exactly what to get someone with diabetes for their next gift-giving celebration.
7 GIFTS FOR DIABETICS:
DIABETIC-FRIENDLY SOCKS AND SLIPPERS
Foot care is crucial for people with diabetes. They’re prone to foot injuries at home. With proper care and a good pair of diabetic socks or slippers, it can really be a huge help.
If you’re buying slippers, we recommend buying a pair with hard soles and a closed-toe design. For men, the UGG Men’s Ascot Slipper is a great choice – it’s made with 100% leather and the inside features soft, comfortable wool.
For women, the LongBay Furry Memory Foam Diabetic Slippers are a great choice. They’re affordable, featuring a plush, comfortable design ideal for people managing edema.
Diabetic socks are another great gift, helping diabetics manage swelling in their feet. Socks are an affordable diabetic gift and they’re relatively easy to find – Amazon features dozens of listing, including value packs of various colors and styles.
BOOKS ABOUT DIABETES
Learning about diabetes is important for people managing the condition. The more they learn about their symptoms, triggers, and ways to prevent complications, the easier it is for them to live well.
If someone you love was recently diagnosed with diabetes, books about the illness can be great gifts for diabetics. They’ll learn about diabetes from the perspectives of experts and other people who understand.
Diabetic cookbooks are especially helpful. When a person has diabetes, they have special dietary needs. Accommodating these needs is crucial – if they don’t eat healthy meals without excess carbohydrates, they could exacerbate their symptoms.
By giving a diabetic-friendly cookbook, you give the person access to meals they need to sustain their health.
The Complete Diabetes Cookbook by American’s Test Kitchen is one of the best, offering a wide variety of diabetic-friendly meals. It includes appetizers, main meals, and desserts including recipes like Lemony Penne Pasta with Chicken and Creamy Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
If you’re looking for a non-fiction book, the 2004 classic Think Like a Pancreas is a great option. It covers all the diabetes basics, giving readers a lot of actionable information to manage their symptoms.
WEARABLE FITNESS TRACKER
When a person has diabetes, its especially crucial they incorporate fitness into their daily routine. Adequate fitness can minimize diabetes’ impact on a person’s life but it can be a challenge to create healthy exercising habits.
If you want to be encouraging and help someone achieve their fitness goals, a wearable fitness tracker makes a great gift.
Giving someone a fitness tracker is a two-fold gift:
It’ll help them monitor their daily activity
It’ll inspire them to be more active
Wearable fitness trackers used to be a niche product but today, you can buy them from assorted brands in various shapes, sizes, and colors.
The Fitbit is an obvious choice if you’re buying a wearable fitness tracker. It’s one of the most reliable on the market, showing users details like steps taken and stairs climbed.
With a wearable fitness tracker, diabetics can feel more confident about their daily routine. They’ll have easy access to their vital signs whenever they need it, giving them tools to stay healthy while they exercise and keep themselves from “overdoing it.”
AN EXERCISE CLASS
We mentioned above that daily exercise is crucial for people with diabetes. If you’re considering a fitness tracker for their next birthday or holiday, consider an exercise class to go along with it.
Exercises classes can be a fun way for people with diabetes to manage their symptoms and improve their health. They can meet other people who live with similar conditions, learning their favorite methods of managing symptoms.
Giving someone a gift card to a yoga class or Zumba can be an excellent way to support their diabetes journey.
BACKPACKS/BAGS FOR CARRYING DIABETIC SUPPLIES
Diabetics need to carry certain types of equipment with them when they leave the house. This may include a blood sugar monitor or insulin injection shots.
It can be hard to carry all those supplies around – fortunately, there are specially-made bags and carrying cases designed for diabetes equipment.
Myabetic is one of the most popular brands for diabetic carrying cases, offering a wide selection of compacts, crossbody bags, and backpacks in various materials and colors.
Getting your loved one with diabetes a bag for their carrying supplies is a great way to say you care. They’ll feel more secure knowing they have everything they need in one place and they won’t worry about leaving vital equipment at home.
MEDICAL BRACELET
Having diabetes means health complications can happen suddenly. If a person’s blood sugar spikes or drops too low, it can lead to dizziness, fainting, and other serious health conditions.
In these cases, having a medical bracelet is vital. When diabetics go in public alone, they need something to tell others about their condition in case of an emergency.
This is where a medical bracelet comes in.
The medical bracelet tells passersby the individual has diabetes in case they need help from strangers.
You can buy stylish, quality medical bracelets on the web or get something special from a premium retailer. Affordable medical bracelets are available for sale on Amazon, but Tiffany’s offers truly special tag chain bracelets your loved one can custom engrave.
LOW-CARB SNACK BASKETS
Minimizing carbohydrate intake plays a key role in managing diabetes. Today, sugary treats dominate the foods for sale at grocery stores – in fact, many diabetics feel stressed when they go shopping because low-carb snacks can be hard to find.
You can make it easier by gifting a low-carb snack basket, full of treats they can enjoy guilt-free.
The Sugar-Free Movie Night Bucket, available on Amazon. It contains a large assortment of sugar-free and low-carb snacks, including popcorn, chips, and more. It also features a handy tote bag so your loved one can take their snacks on the go!
FINAL THOUGHTS
Living with diabetes can be challenging. There are certain types of equipment they must use, foods they must eat, and exercises they must do to stay healthy.
You can help your loved one manage their diabetes symptoms by giving them thoughtful gifts for birthdays, holidays, and other celebrations. Remember – people with diabetes often feel like they are alone and by giving them the right gift, you can show them you care about their journey and want to help along the way.
If you know anyone else who is looking for gifts for diabetics, please share this article on social media. With plenty of birthdays and celebrations approaching, it’s a great time to start thinking about what you’ll get your loved ones.

What Is The Process Of Compression Socks Perform And What Do They Do?
Tumblr media
They are also known as compression stockings. They apply pressure to the legs and feet. These socks are used to treat medical conditions and increase blood flow during exercise. We have more information about compression socks and the benefits they can do for you.
What are compression socks?
Compression stockings add more pressure to your ankles and legs than standard socks, but they appear similar to hoses or socks. Certain stockings are designed to end at the ankle, calf , or hips while others extend up to hips. There are a variety of types to choose from, some with open toes. The prescription compression stockings that provide more pressure than the over-the-counter ones are readily available, as well as batteries-powered versions can deliver various amounts of pressure at various times. Socks that have higher mmHg exert more pressure.
What are compression socks?
Compression socks improve blood flow by putting pressure on veins in your legs and feet. Your heart will work less to pump oxygenated blood of your legs and feet back through your veins, since the arteries that transport it to your calves and feet relax. This allows blood to flow closer to the heart and head and prevents swelling in the feet. It can also keep people who walk or stand all day without aching feet.
Many doctors suggest compression socks to treat lymphedema or edema. This is swelling of the lower limbs which is one of the most common symptoms of diabetes. The compression stockings also can help to reduce varicose veins and spider veins and prevent them from becoming worse. The veins, which are blue or purple, appear when the valves in blood vessels break, allowing blood pool in one place or flow to your feet, instead of your head.
Venous insufficiency is a condition where the veins are unable to pump blood efficiently to the heart. It is caused by too many varicose or blood clots. This can cause orthostatic hypotension, or low blood pressure. This can cause patients feel lightheaded or faint when they stand up suddenly. In order to keep blood away out of your legs and feet compression socks are useful. A lot of women wear running compression socks during pregnancy to lessen swelling on their feet.
Deep vein thrombosis is a form of blood clot in veins with large diameters that can be prevented by compression socks. It can lead to pain, swelling, muscle damage, and even death. Women who are pregnant or have recently had surgery are at greater risk. Long flights on planes could cause deep vein thrombosis in those who are forced to remain still for long periods of time.
It is also possible to avoid phlebitis by wearing socks. Phlebitis is a blood clot in smaller veins closer to the surface of the skin, and it can lead to discomfort, fever, swelling and a lump on the skin close to the clot. It's not as serious as deep vein thrombosis but both issues could lead to an enlargement of blood clots that spreads from the leg to an organ. A pulmonary embolism, for instance, is a blood clot which is formed in the lungs, and makes breathing difficult or even impossible.
How Long Should You wear compression socks?
Ask your doctor how long compression socks are appropriate to wear. The compression socks are used by some people every day and others just wear them during recovery from surgery, exercise or long plane flights. If compression socks help with medical problems or just make you feel more comfortable, you can wear them throughout the all day. The socks that are made for compression are not recommended to wear while you sleep , as you might not experience any discomfort. If the sock becomes bunched up or folded over, it could affect your circulation. If you experience any redness, tingling or discomfort caused by the fabric, it is ideal to get rid of your compression socks. If you can buy best compression socks online check out our website.
What do you think of compression socks?
Compression socks can be worn on one or both legs, and you can put them on and remove them like normal socks or stockings. Compression socks shouldn't be folded inwards to create cuffs. The seams should run straight up your legs. If you suffer from arthritis or another issue then you should make use of a device known as a stocking giver to put on your compression socks. Some compression socks come with zippers.
To help them be more effective, put your compression socks on right after you get up in the early morning. This is the time that your legs aren't as swelling. Socks with compression should be worn during workouts for at least three or four hours. The increased circulation running compression socks will help get rid of lactic acid in your muscles, thus reducing or preventing soreness after exercise.
You can hand wash your compression socks or run an icy water cycle in your washing machine to dry them. Compression socks may lose their elasticity and effectiveness with time, so you might require replacement if they wear out.
Find the circumference of your ankle using a tape measure to determine the measurement of the compression socks. For some socks you might need to take measurements of your thighs as well. If the best plantar fasciitis socks you pick doesn't provide relief or make you uncomfortable, talk to your doctor. It is possible that you require an alternative size or style of compression socks.
What kinds of compression socks Are Available?
Compression stockings that are breathable and have a small amount of pressure are also known as nonmedical support hosiery and are ideal for people who spend lots of time in their feet, such as pharmacists or nurses. These stockings will make long journeys more comfortable. Graduated compression socks pull closer to the ankles, and apply lighter pressure near the knees, assisting in moving blood upwards. They're meant for people who are active. Anti-embolism-specific stockings provide greater pressure and help prevent blood clots. They are also referred to as thromboembolism-deterrent stockings.

Top 3 LIST: Best Hiking Socks in 2022
Hiking is fun. If you’re trying this out for the first time, though, make sure you’re all set to go with the right gear. That includes your socks. You’re going to spend a lot of your time walking, so you need your feet to be comfortable. The right socks can make a difference and make the experience fun. Ready to shop? Here are tips and a handy list to make it easier for you to find the best socks that you can take for your next hiking adventure.
How to Pick the Best Hiking Socks?
Follow these steps so you can go over hiking socks and winnow down a lot of your options with ease.
·       Start with your budget. Know your price range. That will tell you what socks are available to you. You’ll know what you can afford. That’s a good place to start.
·       Consider your destination. Where are you headed? What kind of weather will you encounter? Some mountains, like Everest, have more than one weather. It’s warm, even hot, when you start from the bottom of the mountain and gets colder as you go higher. That means you’ll need to pack along thin and thick socks, so you can change into the right pair, depending on where you are.
·       Look for eco-friendly options. If you want sustainable and eco-friendly hiking socks, find socks that are made of organic materials. Some are made from bamboo, for instance. Give those options a try.
What Else Should I Know?
·       Moisture-wicking. You don’t want your feet to sweat, so pick socks with moisture-wicking properties.
·       Ribbed support. This keeps the socks from slipping and bunching while inside your shoes, which can be uncomfortable, especially when you’re on a non-stop hike.
·       Fully padded. Socks with padding provide cushion and comfort.
·       Snug fit. Make sure it fits. Loose socks tend to slip and slide.
Which Socks and Brands Should I Buy?
Shopping for hiking brands? Why not give these 3 options a try?
·       Bamboo Full Cushion Hiking Socks from EcoSox. The brand’s hiking socks make the experience comfortable. Even if you’re on the trail, you won’t have to worry about the material digging into your skin or causing rashes. The brand also has EcoSox Diabetic Non-binding bamboo hiking or outdoor socks. These hiking socks help with the edema, swelling, or neuropathy. If you’re shopping for options, put this at the top of your list.
·       Darn Tough Hiker Micro Crew Cushion Sock. This is made from a combination of fabrics, though, it is about 61 percent Merino wool. The socks are naturally anti-microbial, so it repels odor and bacteria. Its anti-wicking properties also provide a great deal of comfort, preventing sweaty feet and keeping you dry even when you’re outdoors.
·       Peruvian Link Alpaca Socks. This is mostly made of Alpaca wool. That means it’s soft, comfortable, and warm. It also has moisture-wicking properties, so you can easily dry out the socks at night while you’re sleeping in your camp and wear them the next day when you’re back on the trail.

What TO Stock for An APOCALYPSE, Part Five of Six
KNOWLEDGE and a set of OLD-FASHIONED SURVIVAL SKILLS will probably serve you better after a cataclysm than almost anything else you could have accumulated.
In honor of the novel IF DARKNESS TAKES US, coming out October 15th from SFK Press. Order here: https://www.amazon.com/Darkness-Takes-Brenda-Marie-Smith-ebook/dp/B07WK9BQHN/ref=sr_1_1?
Tumblr media
 If you spend time ruminating on all the things that happen in America and the rest of the modern world, things that keep us alive and generally healthy, you will notice a nearly unfathomable list of occurrences in the background of our lives—goods and services we consider essential but never stop to think about.
Aside from water, food, and electricity, there are sewers, healthcare systems (such as they are), public health departments, libraries, roads, transportation, infrastructure, law and order, government, police and fire departments, charities, medicines, education, art, music, news from near and far, the internet, an endless array of things to buy if we can afford them, innumerable places to travel, and gobs of stuff competing for our time. Much or even all of this would break down and be gone in a true apocalypse. The people who survive will be those who know how to handle many of these functions themselves.
Tumblr media
 Since this list could be endless, and because my purpose is not to bore you to death with details, my exhortation to you readers is to please do your best to learn how to survive and prepare on your own. Given the rapid pace of climate change, even if we don’t fall all the way into apocalypse, we are likely to be forced to scale way the hell back. We should scale back. We need to scale back. We all know that the Earth cannot sustain our current lifestyles.
Tumblr media
 For the record, I am not a prepper. I do not go around freaking out about the coming End of Days. But I do cogitate on these things from time to time, and I write novels about possible scenarios. In my novels, I take a different route than the standard apocalyptic tale. My assumption is that it would take a great deal of time for civilization to fully collapse. At least initially, much human morality and compassion will remain. If people try hard to work together, and if the situation allows, they can keep the deterioration from becoming complete.
So, become men and women and children of the New Renaissance and learn how things work and alternative ways to do them, practice old skills and learn new ones, stretch your brains and your imaginations. Toward that end, here are some of the areas that we all need to bone up on, aside from what I have already discussed in earlier posts:
·         Learn and practice old-fashioned skills like: soap-making; candle-making; laundry without electricity or plumbing; knitting; sock-darning; fire-building; quilting; basketry; rope-making; carpentry; gravity-fed plumbing; hair plaiting; butter churning; cheese making; chair caning; furniture building; cabinetry; glass-making; log-splitting; barn building; shoe-making; the creation of eyeglasses; dentistry; the making, patching, and mending of clothes; spinning and weaving; undertaking for the dead; nutrition; sanitation; the making of acoustical music and natural art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
·         Study outhouses and ways of keeping them sanitary. They can spread deadly disease if they aren’t well-managed. Composting toilets are a great way to go, but they still have to be clean, preferably with something that actually kills germs dead. And you have to know where to dig an outhouse if you want to keep your groundwater clean and drinkable.
I once lived on a commune. Before I got there, dozens of people got hepatitis from drinking water and/or eating wild watercress downstream from a neighbor’s outhouse. Don’t repeat that mistake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
  ·         
           While I am neither a gun owner nor a fan of guns, and I am not an alarmist or someone who wants to see more guns stockpiled in this world, you may need a means of protecting yourself. You’ll want to learn self-defense.
Tumblr media
·         
            You will need bicycles, wagons, carts, dollies, wheelbarrows, skateboards, roller skates, buggies with horses and food to feed them—ways to get around and to haul heavy stuff. Ropes, chains, skids, etc.
·         If you can, start stocking critical supplies: soaps, matches, toilet paper, pens, pencils, paper, pulleys, candles, needles and thread, yarn, ladders, toothbrushes and toothpaste, tools, knives, wood-stoves and wood-fired grills, firewood, water and food storage containers, charcoal, clothing, shoes, kerosene, bleach, lime for the outhouses, wind-up radios (which will charge cell phones, if the phones still work), wind-up flashlights, washing tubs, buckets and bins, clotheslines and clothespins, washboards, boots, shoes, long underwear, batteries, lighters, hats, scarves, gloves, good  jackets, and socks—lots and lots of socks.
Tumblr media
 ·         You will need to know about medical care, including the standard Western medicine we practice now, plus Eastern medicine and folk medicine. You’ll want to know how to grow medicinal plants and herbs, and you should stockpile basics: whatever meds you personally need to stay alive, as well as aspirin, antibiotics, antacids, antidiarrheals, Tylenol, asthma inhalers, insulin and other diabetic meds, blood pressure stabilizers, first-aid supplies, splints, crutches, wheelchairs, IV equipment and fluids, scalpels, pump respirators, stethoscopes, otoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, tweezers, vitamins, minerals, skin creams, sunscreen, antibiotic and cortisone ointments, CBD oil, on and on and on.
·         You’ll need the means to educate your children and to continue learning yourselves.
·         You’ll want things to help you pass the time—especially the long winter nights with poor lighting: board games, cards, dice, jacks, paddle balls, outdoor sports equipment, hobby stuff, acoustic musical instruments, art supplies, those balls you roll around in your hands when you’re tense, and BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
More than anything, you will need quick wits, unbending determination, and people to love.
Here are many of my reasons to stay alive and to NEVER, EVER GIVE UP:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, whatever you do, DO NOT forget the duct tape!

STAY TUNED FOR THE FINAL INSTALLMENT OF “WHAT TO STOCK FOR AN APOCALYPSE.”

Smoothen the stockings to lay flat against your skin. Do not bunch them up. They should not be too long. Don't fold or roll the tops down, because they could make them too tight. This can cause blood flow problems and stop circulation, just like an e-tourniquet.
If your doctor advised you to wear them, you'll probably want to keep them on most of the time. You can remove them to take a shower or to take a bath. It is possible to wear socks, slippers, and footwear over compression stockings. Talk to your doctor about how often and the length of time you must use these.

When was the last time you felt extremely nervous? tonight when waiting for responses from kile regarding questions. When was the last time you cried? Tonight. I hard sobbed, which I thought maybeeee, maybe just maybe I was past this stage with Kile but I’m so not. He maybe?? thought or realized I was genuine about leaving, given the fact I am more and more and more withdrawn. So he asked about us talking, since that’s the big thing we could tackle instead of just harshly cutting ties. He has avoided talking about this since I found out about everything.. I think it gives him a lot of anxiety to unpack just how much hurt he’s caused. I can empathize with that. But I can’t just gloss over this huge trauma like it meant nothing. So we talked a little bit and he assumed I was judging (which is one of my absolute least favorite things he accuses me of) and then when I explained I wasnt, he said he was just being sensitive and he was sorry. for whatever reason, I just.. i feel like a balloon that’s been popped. my heart just desires him so badly but he has these barriers and now I have a million of my own barriers and I hate having barriers with him. ive worked so hard for so long to break those down and now theres more than I can count and I just.. i want to understand. I want to stop the feelings that I’m not worth the truth. Like i’ve been kept in the dark for 6+ years and now that I’m told some things, I’m still kept in the dark. I just can’t win. there’s nothing left for me and it just wrecked me. I sobbed, I couldn’t breathe. my heart hurtssssssssss. i just want him to be here and fix it and he can’t. what do you do when the one person who could stop the hurt, causes it?
