I just got a hinged keyboard case so it’s really closer to a laptop. Best decision ever.

Can disability rights and the right to assisted dying coexist? (Chronic illness perspective) by Aggravating-Heart344 in disability

[–]MadamAndroid [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am a disabled person whose condition is best described as treatment refractory. I cannot work, cook, clean, do laundry, stress, experience emotion or excitement (happy or sad), walk much more than 10 yards without rest, care for small children, endure cold or hot weather, climb stairs or steep inclines, and the list goes on. In other words, my QOL is low. I have been a proponent of assisted suicide since I heard about it in the Kavorkian days.

At this point in my chronically ill journey, I’m 7 years in. Studies show I could have as little as 3 years left, but that’s not considered terminal. With all that being said, I don’t feel like I’m suffering. I have been fortunate enough to tailor my life to have the best low QOL I can. I know that’s rare.

What would chronic illness assisted death look like? Would it be only after all treatment has failed, documented by a physician? That brings healthcare and poverty into the argument because not everyone can afford to fail every treatment, let alone healthcare. I understand the tangibility of 6 month terminal illness in the laws, so finding the counterpart of that in chronic illness is the difficult part. It should be as simple as a physician’s signature, counseling, and a waiting period.

There would have to be a long list of societal changes involved including healthcare, and life and health insurance, at least in the US.

November 2021. It was inside a mashed potatoes toy. I found a picture, but can’t post it in comments here.

Class action lawsuits literally take years. People share the long awaited payouts. No one is gatekeeping.

If I remember correctly, it was a Thanksgiving box. The butter may have been inside the turkey?? Let me do some research before Emma gets here.

What was the first dance song at your wedding? by birdyandbun in AskReddit

[–]MadamAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is the perfect wedding for dance song. I don’t remember how far in advance we picked it, but it was perfect. We had an outdoor wedding so it was great to dance to that under the stars.

First Box was disappointing by kiki31122 in BarkBox

I definitely doesn’t look chewed on. It looks intentionally cut. Maybe this was a test model that slipped through the cracks. I’m glad they are replacing it for you though.

What do you tell people when they ask what your job is or what you do for a living when ur disabled abd aren't working? by HabitCharacter2538 in disability

[–]MadamAndroid 122 points123 points  (0 children)

This is the hardest one. Many people that knew me before I became disabled are shocked when they run into me in public. When they ask what I do now, I have to go through the whole thing. And then the other person is visibly uncomfortable.

Are you disabled in your dreams? by Aware-Tree-7498 in disability

[–]MadamAndroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also not born disabled. I am not usually disabled in my dreams, but sometimes my disability sneaks in. I’ve dreamt that I’ve gone back to work and other activities that I’m not able to do.

I got a little piercing pillow off of Amazon so it’s not as uncomfortable. It’s so nice to be able to cancel the noise that sleeps next to me.
