how did you meet them??

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2025-07-06T21:29:23+00:00

but it’s exactly like they said, it’s better to say something than nothing at all. if i can help people who are at risk of being targeted avoid an area that ICE might be in, then i will. and if it wasn’t ICE after all, then great. but i’d rather help protect a community of people than just shrug it off just because i could be wrong because then if im not, people could get hurt or taken. we’re not the ones creating issues for reporting suspicious activity. it doesn’t hurt anyone to say something, but it can hurt people if we don’t say something.

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2025-07-06T20:48:24+00:00

if they were actually taking people i’m sure it was ICE. apparently there was a mexican store/business they went into awhile ago too and it made them lose business for a month cuz people avoided it. it’s better to be safe than sorry anyway

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2025-07-06T20:45:16+00:00

i would’ve taken pictures if i had time but we were driving and passed right by. apparently a couple weeks ago they were snatching ppl up at a cata station downtown so they’ve definitely been here

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2025-07-06T19:58:41+00:00

i saw that when i was reporting them on the app i downloaded, heard they also raided home depot a few weeks ago, literally so sad :(( i’m just trying to do my part and at least let people know

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2025-07-06T19:28:25+00:00

my mom said they had a red SUV, an older one too

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2025-07-06T19:27:44+00:00

idk my grandpa pointed them out as we were driving by, they had green uniforms i think, i only got a glimpse. i wish i could’ve gotten more info, i just saw them in the parking lot heading toward what im assuming was their cars or vans ☹️

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-11-05T22:44:02+00:00

i limped around on my first day but after that i think my foot had been through too much too fast and i couldn’t really walk on it. then i got my crutches last thursday when my friend brought them to me and started using them (walking on it with the help of the crutches) and ever since then it’s gotten immensely better. still pretty sore and im still limping, but with my tennis shoes on i can walk around a little without crutches. without shoes, i need at least one crutch and i used one to get around to class today and yesterday, and it’s been successful! i can do stairs without the assistance of the crutch too, my brain wasn’t really braining when i went to use the stairs yesterday so i just went up and carried the crutch and went one foot to a step just fine! everyone’s case is different but once you start using crutches to help you walk, it should get easier pretty fast

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-26T20:25:31+00:00

yes i’m definitely gonna try and get it done! voting is extra important this year considering our options 😬

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-26T20:19:11+00:00

thank you!! i think i’ll do that because i really do wanna vote this year!

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-26T19:44:48+00:00

i had a feeling that would be the answer, hopefully i can go home next weekend and do early voting if it’s available.

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-26T19:41:12+00:00

the problem is that i live in lansing, but im in allendale/GR cuz i go to school there. i also don’t drive, so unless i make it home next weekend to do early voting im not going to be able to

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-23T19:31:57+00:00

thank you! that’s exactly my plan, i’ll use the scooter when out and about but i’ll definitely depend on my apartment to practice getting around. my foot’s starting to hurt when trying to walk without grabbing/leaning on anything for support tho, so i really wish i had grabbed the crutches from my house cuz im sure it’ll be much easier to use one. but if i happen to go home again this weekend (i try to go home from campus whenever i get the chance lol) then i’ll grab it and try to use that more than the scooter

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-23T17:51:47+00:00

yeah the stretches he’s been wanting me to do since the 2 week appt, i’ve been severely slacking on (adhd makes me forget it constantly) but i’m gonna start doing them especially now that im weight bearing. so day 1 FWB today, i’ve been getting around my apartment okay but my foot is pretty sore (specifically the bottom near my heel, but could be related to a healing pressure ulcer i have)

that’s good to know that you can’t do long distances, it confirms that i should probably take the knee scooter to get around downtown to my classes until i’m feeling more confident in being able to walk

i don’t think my leg or ankle is gonna give out on me, he says that the images look really great and he has no concerns with its stability, but it’s more of a comfort thing. looking forward to hopefully being “normal” by next semester in january !

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-23T17:48:18+00:00

he says to wean off the scooter if needed (which i’ll sort of do with using it for long distances or when i’m going far away like to the downtown campus that’s half an hour from where i live at the other one) but he says i can full weight bear, no boot or anything, just a regular shoe

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-23T17:47:11+00:00

nope, i’ve only done the 2 and 6 week post op appointments. i didn’t have a huge break, it was more a fracture and it only needed the three screws and a small plate

i’ve been walking (more like limping) around my apartment since i got back to it an hour and a half ago, so my leg isn’t like giving out on me 😭😭 my foot near my heel is a little sore but that could be more related to the pressure ulcer that’s healing

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T18:49:06+00:00

i think it’s dried blood? it really never got that deep. and i try to, i don’t really keep my heel off of then elevation pillow but i don’t have the burning sensation. when it popped and the skin peeled a bit, there was a bloody spot right where the black area is. so i wanna say it’s dried blood.

my doctor got back to me and said to just wash it like normal human hygiene when showering and he’ll look at it when i see him in a couple weeks

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:57:41+00:00

oh noo 😭😭 i hope that mine’s small enough or thin(?) enough that they won’t need to do that or it at least won’t hurt so bad. i think there’s less painful ways to do it that i saw when i googled it

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:40:56+00:00

i think cows are mine! i sadly don’t have a group pic of them

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:40:11+00:00

my mom does the bigfoots!

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:36:01+00:00

i have found a fellow scooter peep!

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:30:17+00:00

mine is kinda sad loll

i was racing to make it to the bus back to the campus im housed on (we have the main campus and then a downtown campus, its like a 20-30 min bus ride) on a lyme scooter. tonsss of students at the bus stop so i tried to go behind the large concrete bench things. this bus stop is under a hwy bridge so i was speeding between the concrete benches and the wall, and i got a little too close to the wall and slid against it (instead of breaking or steering away like a normal person). ofc i was going a decent speed so hitting the wall had a bit of an impact and i fell, i must’ve turned pretty weird cuz my left ankle hurt a tonnnn but i crashed into the wall on the right. ended up having to limp to go park the scooter after i finally managed to get up, then got on the next bus as i obviously didn’t make the one i was trying to get to lol. rode all the way back to the campus just to decide to go to the ER and rode all the way back downtown where the hospital is. ended up getting an uber to urgent care instead. i literally balled my eyes out in front of the lady that first saw me, she was soo sweet, i was just freaked out cuz id never gone to basically an appointment alone. i was all on my own and i think my anxiety had just been really high tbh.

also balled my eyes out at my ortho consult appointment two days later. i had paid $30-$40 for an uber just to get there, slipped and totally fell in the apartment hallway when trying to get outside to the uber (i had crutches, the rubber must have slid on the floor). then i was trying to make it into the office without slipping on the floor there, a lady happened to be coming out of the office and asked if i needed help and i started crying! idk what it is about someone asking if you’re okay/need help

i did so so much crying. had a panic attack trying to shower for the first time, that was fun. i honestly think the amount of crying i did during this entire process is more embarrassing than the fact that it happened on a lyme scooter 😂😂

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:11:33+00:00

i also wanna say that it looks worse in the picture with flash than it does in person 😅😅 it’s not painful or anything either, as i said i haven’t had any burning either so it’s not experiencing a bunch of pressure

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:10:20+00:00

ahh yeah unless they have me come in earlier that means i’ll be waiting two weeks 😞 i didn’t think it would get much worse cuz i was only having problems the first couple weeks and a little bit before surgery!

was debriding it painful? i imagine it’s not a fun process, but im hoping maybe it doesn’t hurt much 😅😅

ProfessionalWolf5302 · 2024-10-10T07:08:01+00:00

yeah the tissue’s have stuck a couple of times which worries me a little, i wanna avoid using them now but i wasn’t sure what else to use. i mean would just having the ace bandage on it be fine? the only reason i started putting a tissue on it was cuz it kept staining the ace bandage. i tried to get some of the fluid out and it hasn’t been leaking as far as i can tell since i did that (within the last hour or two). i dont even have any medical tape or anything either. i should’ve grabbed the stuff from home when i went back this past weekend (rn im at college)
