Hey y'all! Good morning. For a comrade who is suffering greatly due to poor post op care.
Who can uplift and get this seen to offer a little relief to this kind soul?

PLEASE BOOST FOR ME!
It's spring in my corner of the world, and warming up quickly in the rush to summer. I rent my home, and while I have a portable air conditioner in the bedroom, in the high Aussie heat of summer of over 40C/104F, it's still far too hot in the rest of the house, and makes my disabilities and chronic illness worse. I have no aircon or fans in the rest of my tiny apartment, and with my disabilities and chronic illness, I could really use a fan this year, so I'm not shut in the bedroom constantly. I really need a 40cm, metal blade fan for it to be effective along with my usual cooling towel, cooling mat etc. I live under the poverty line, so this is out of reach for me. If you could help make it possible for me to get the fan I need, and help make spring and summer more bearable with disability and chronic health issues, it would be much appreciated. My goal is $99.95(cheapest one I can find and also free delivery to my door as I can't get to a store and cart one home due to disabilities). Thank you so much💖

For profit healthcare should be abolished.
Healthcare is a human right.
Insurance companies have been allowed to determine who lives, who dies, who suffers and who goes bankrupt for far too long.

Just had coffee. One cup coffee, one cup soy milk, 14g agave; I swapped out my favorite soy milk powder for organic unsweetened silk soy. To no ones surprise I have no sinus reaction.
So unfortunately I will have to switch to the healthier more expensive less versatile milk option. I know I shouldn’t look at it as a negative, but it feels like a loss, yet another thing my conditions have taken from me.

Errands run, dishes done, and bed made with fresh sheets so I can come home to a comfy bed after hospital. Having a little rest, and then we tackle some tidying. I have to fast from midnight, so I'm eating as much as I want until then, and have upped my water intake over the past day so that I give myself the best chance of staying hydrated, and not getting a migraine before surgery(or after, though I'm prone to them after anaesthetic). Resting in between tasks because pain is high, but feeling like I'm on track to being ready😁

Not one jot, not one tittle received! The abusive environment persists, the abusive people remain.
If you wanna see me out of this situation, chip in.

I need a very small portable washing machine that would be used only for socks.
Can anyone suggest one? It has to be small enough that I can lift it and drain it myself.
I can’t put my socks with my regular laundry & hand washing is no longer an option (dislocated wrist)
I think this could be a huge spoon saver if I could find one that actually works.
Help?

I am exhausted and limp and overheating, but I have finally taken a SHOWER. For days, our main bathroom has been inaccessible due to mold remediation, and I wasn't up to cleaning the dead bugs out of the shower in the backhouse. Today there was a final application of chemicals, and when I came back home, the vapors had dissipated enough for me to finally spend a few minutes back there. Now I'm damp and clean and moisturized and wearing pajamas for the first time in a week. Things will really be better when we can sleep in our bed instead of on living room furniture, but this feels like a nice step.
Hey disease twins, is it POTS that makes you want to puke and pass out after a shower? Because something sure does. #ChronicIllness #IIH #POTS #Fibromyalgia #migraines #DiseaseTwins

Spielberg is demonstrating he understands airborne infection and how to mitigate it!
He's outside at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and he's wearing a KN95!
A good respirator protects you and those around you.
Covid is not over and a mask is a great way to stay healthy.
