In my dreams, you lay your sorrow on the table, and the air between us is soft and we have time.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
Shit! Can you call an ambulance?
No, it’s one of those things where I’m pretty much just stuck lying down for 4-5 days on otc anti-inflammatory meds. It’s happened before, they think two lower discs are impacted/pinched together and every now and again it flares up. Also, I can’t afford a doctor right now, unfortunately, so I’m just doing what I’ve been recommended before. An ambulance costs between $2-5k, and the shitty insurance I have wouldn’t cover all the x-rays or the doc visit, it’d probably be another $3k to get checked out. I’m doing better today though! I can stand upright and even move around a bit so I’m hopeful that resting will be enough for now.
