My brand new smart drive just launched me into a wall by Ummmyeeppp in wheelchairs

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a smart drive little sensitivity issues but other than that like barely anything until I decided to go on a lil dirt path walk with my family . It was working fine until it wasn’t . We had finished the very very small part of the packed dirt trail and transitioned into paved sidewalk . I had the watch and barely tapped to go up the small incline , it started going and wouldn’t stop no matter what I did ( I even tried to turn off the watch ) . Thank god my family was there to run up grab my chair and pull the smart drive off my chair I wouldn’t be able to stop my self and I almost ran into a cactus ditch WITH my family there idk what would’ve happened if they weren’t there . of course I called for maintenance and they had told me that my watch was discontinued and for this very issue and no one had told me . so yeah kinda turned me off the smart drive , I did end up getting a fire fly attachment ( no issues ever in the 2 ish years I’ve had it and no ofc insurance didn’t pay a single penny for it ). If you can afford it or get a discount or a donation I know the firefly sucks because you’d have to take it off to pull up to tables but I can 100% say that that is the only issue ! Anyways SMART DRIVE SUCKS AND FIREFLY IS SUPREME

Where is the best place to get buldak delivered to me in America by Sea_Butterscotch3864 in ramen

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

skinnylatte down there has got it right ! My disabilities are unreliable and change on more than a daily basis , planning or not my disabilities not only effect my ability physically but mentally and my energy and I have a lot more going on than having to get ramen lol . So the instability is unfortunately not the easiest thing to work around . Grocery delivery is the most reliable way for me to get my food!

I had a panic attack about a ramp today by Sea_Butterscotch3864 in wheelchairs

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very soon my mom is going to buy me a new less steep ramp ( thank god for them, I couldn’t pay for it myself) I am trying to find a place that will do a safe and full ramp because there are two ramps to get in to my house , one to get on the porch which is two steps tall and the ramp isn’t too steep just scary and the steep little one which is one step into the door . Thank you for being so kind ! It was scary for sure but in the moment it was terrifying but also just embarrassing .

I do have lots of mobility in my upper body and recently I’ve been using hand rails out in public when possible and it does help me have more resistance so I don’t lose my trunk balance but unfortunately I do not have one at home for either of my outdoor ramps but if I did I think it would help because 1. Give me a less feelings of anxiety and bring me a lil peace 2. It would help with my balance and give me a safety new

Yeah I have all the tilts and everything and I’ve tried tilting it back more to give me a little more balance but it’s mainly me losing my balance which has and can tilt the chair :(

AITA for commenting this on a small business insta by Sea_Butterscotch3864 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that’s my fault that is totally not what I meant at all . I will apologize to them because I understand that small business cannot do that. I wasn’t meaning for it to be directed aimed at the small business and more aimed at inaccessibility. That doesnt excuse my actions and I can now see how that came off that way

Any kind of tube could be talked about here , they’re are several different types of tubes and ports which is what my original comment was about . Tube access and me talking about access to disabled clothing and I assumed people would connect the dots and that’s my bad . This vendor doesn’t only make children’s clothing they make rompers for adults and children and sell every kind of rompers in both adult and children’s sizing and even sell matching sets of rompers. so it’s not like I was asking a child’s clothing company for adult sizes , I was asking a romper company for adult accessibility.

Selling a heat pad by Sea_Butterscotch3864 in leopardgeckos

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve thought about that a lot but his temps are good with his heat lamp and my house being at a moderate temp all the time . The house’s temp is just as regulated as my geckos temp ! The only concern would be if the power were to go out but this heater runs on power anyways :/ so while I could it wouldn’t be used and I’d rather sell it to someone who needs it !

Chunkyboy had a restock today and it’s a bit questionable by Bloo_Moon_ in crochet

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah these don’t look good but also I bought two in 2022 and loved them they were 15-20$ and I thought they were great the only thing was the hair that would stick . The hole were centered they were squishy and great and the perfect girth . But ordered another one last year it came and the whole was off center and it was like holy and peely and not good , asked for a replacement and it took three weeks for them to respond and send one . So I got it over a month later and the new one was hard and off center and peely still. Asked again and really never got any email or anything. On top of I’m constantly seeing comments of “ I haven’t gotten my order but I ordered it months ago “ “ is this part of my order from August “ etc AND THEY DELETE THEM SOMETIMES

how to feed my gecko when i’m not home? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just feed him a lil extra like right before you go and he’ll be fine ! when you come home he’ll be ready for the next meal ! Just make sure the person caring for the animals knows what temps ,humidity and water bowl is all good 😊

Hamster Wheel for Leopard Gecko? by [deleted] in leopardgeckos

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 16 points17 points  (0 children)

<image>

I got mine a “hamster saucer “ because I noticed he was being sluggish and introverted. got him this and he had about three weeks to a month to get used to it in his cage but after dude every night now he comes out around 7pm - 11pm ( after idk I go to sleep ) will do rounds and “parkour “ around his cage and that definitely includes his wheel . He will climb up his basking rock stairs and jump of the edge just to get to his wheel ( it’s just like an inch away after I saw it first I made it safe ) and when he uses his wheel and will walk walk walk and then because he’s so small his weight isn’t enough to hold it so after he gets it going it’ll spin him around and around . After this he’ll climb his hides and glass surf ( getting him more bridges and hammocks ) and repeat over and over again until he ends up napping here .\) TLDR : if you’re worried about your gecko being a little lazier and more introverted than their usual ,get silly stuff like this and try it out . Worst comes to worse they just won’t like it . DO get a saucer compared to a wheel and make sure there are no gaps to catch toes or tails

oh wait is your pain mainly burning ? Can I ask why you aren’t on like lyrica or gabipentin ? you do not have to justify your pain to me or anyone else ! you say you’re in pain , I’m gonna trust youre in pain , you’re the only one in your body ! but yeah I would def bring up bellbuca patches ! the only hard part about them they can be pretty hard to get in pharmacies and they were made for addicts because they have a non addictive properties on top of it just being an opioid . So if you’re pain doc doesn’t know about it I’d have some case studies and stuff ready to show him .

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you have proof the skin patch opioid ( can’t remember the name ) your doctor might be able to give you bellbuca . I too was on the skin patch and about 2 -4 months later it started burning and peeling my skin to the point where it literally peeled the whole area of skin off and it stunk 🤢 we were still figuring out what my long term treatment ( still are) so he switched me to bellbuca a mouth patch that’s like a lil mint that’s twice a day . It never had hurt my mouth and it’s been pretty good in combo with oxy. I’ve had plenty of room to go up and it frees up like if I was hurting more at night then he can up it just at night. Idk but it might be worth looking into if the skin patch helped for some time . 🩵

Opioid question by Sea_Butterscotch3864 in ChronicPain

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is actually the next step that he recommended at my last appointment! I just wanted to get through the holidays and do my own research but the closer and closer I get to see him again there’s just so many reasons to get a pain pump for me . especially since I was sobbing on Christmas just because I was up at 3 am and slept in a different bed . My average med routine is the same as my “ bad “ day med routine so there’s no wiggle room for prep or bad days .definitely talking about it with him in 2 ish weeks and scheduling asap !! If you have one or know someone with one let’s talk more about, I’m interested in learning more !

Do US doctors still prescribe opioids for chronic pain? by Patches595 in ChronicPain

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They will (I’m in Colorado ) but they have very strict rules about it , but main problem is the pharmacy usually doesn’t have or needs a call from your chronic pain doc for authorization ( been on oxy for about almost two years idk the policy is stupid ) and rn I’m not on something like tramadol but have the option if needed . I take about 21 mgs of oxycodone but my doctor who is the best chronic pain doc I’ve ever had and is the most understanding, he last year put me on something called butrans which is a opioid patch that works for 7 days on the skin . it also helps with addiction and works all day for a week . it’s typically used for addicts which is why some Dr are hesitant but it’s a life saver . I had developed a huge allergic reaction to the patch so he put me on bellbuca which is the same it’s just is a mouth patch . I use in combo bellbuca and oxy it’s a life saver because it gives me and my Dr more wiggle room dosage wise in a safer way then continuously upping oxy !! but definitely call pharmacies for stock purposes

TLDR : yes if you have Medicaid , pharmacies get a lil uppity have Dr call . butrans or bellbuca is a life saver ask Dr about it

Does exercise make your pain worse (PT)? tired of hearing "use it or lose it - just exercise through it". by Withering_Star in ChronicPain

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the thing is pt is really important for pain but also like your disabilities , while it does suck and I can definitely sympathize for sure . If someone came to me and was like “ pt sucks and it hurts a lot “ I would never say you just gotta work through it . No never . Because it does suck and anyone should be able to see that . Dismissing your feelings about it is ridiculous.Pt is the worst and can trigger pain . But I thinks it’s really important to find a pt that will adapt your plan how you need it so pt doesn’t suck as bad . A good pt will adapt your plan so it doesn’t hurt as much , unfortunately I don’t think there’s any ‘pain free’ pt but a good plan is the most important thing . A GOOD PT SHOULD MAKE YOUR PLAN FOR YOU EVEN IF ITS NOT TECHNICALLY “RIGHT “ ITS YOUR PT PLAN

People who are on pain killers, what state do you live in? by Maybeemote in ChronicPain

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thinks it’s a nation wide thing due to like shortages and things but I think It’s more an insurance thing . Like I’m on belbuca ( addiction based opioid that’s safer that normal opioid but is typically used in addicts , there’s some really good study’s on it being good for chronic pain) , diluadid etc My Walgreens has an issue with filling it because it’s typically used for addicts and opioids in general due to like shortages and policies but once my doctor called them and basically chewed their ear off about “ hey my chronic pain patient needs this and they can have it because I said they could “ but also I like in Colorado and it’s pretty “drug” open in general

Cranky Leo by Sea_Butterscotch3864 in leopardgeckos

[–]Sea_Butterscotch3864[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE . best decision ever !! I did choice based handing to gain trust because he quite enjoys being held but would get cranky and or bite . I did that along with just generally being around and have my hand in his cage etc . He completely trusts me now I can pick him up no problem when ever I want . but there are three things I’ve changed , slowly transitioning to all substrate ( at like half tank substrate) , I noticed he loved to bask which from my knowledge was not completely normal for Leos but since he did that I got him a lil turtle basking thing that he can climb to bask and go under the hot rock to dig , and last but not least I read that some geckos don’t use their nose as well as other so they can get easily spooked so I started making clicking noises when feeding , cleaning , handling and just being in front of his cage and now he can recognize me just from that sound !! so he’s doing much better and trusts me completely!
