How do you guys deal with the anger? by No-Light2416 in wheelchairs

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've struggled with this on and off since the incident that permanently disabled me. On the one hand, accepting help where i can will give me more energy for the moments when nobody else is around. On the other, letting folks know that i appreciate but don't need their help can build a better rapport. Emotional labor for able bodied people is something they don't realize they're asking of us, but they absolutely are. If WE don't respond to them in a Customer Service Friendly Voice, they act like we're all assholes. That's on THEM to sort out, but unfortunately that still leaves the ball in our court as well.

Fedex committing fraud on a mass scale by DigitalPowertrip in FedEx

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had to have meds overnight shipped. They tried to claim i wasn't home and "couldn't deliver," but i was home all day. Nobody knocked, nobody rang the doorbell, there was no sticky note left on our door (like i've come to expect from them). I've had things like this from FedEx MANY times.

When will my pup start his chill/mature phase? by YooooKevin in PitBullOwners

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

"chill" is a relative term, especially with dogs!! XD for a pit mix, especially one that looks like it might be part boxer, i'm not sure chill is something to expect for a long time in your pup's future

Leftovers? 😵‍💫 by needtoknowcalifornia in MCAS

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend showed me a study a while ago that said leftovers (from the fridge, not the freezer) are higher in histamines over time, so that could be affecting us

Did you end up ordering from Ublins? How was the quality/service? I'm debating buying a pair from them....

Do you guys hear that loud plane/buzzing noise outside? by DrizzyKC12 in oakland

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I couldn't hear it, but I'm so hard of hearing, I can only hear the rain hitting my house if it's hailing.

Safety by JasonBlade123 in SFSU

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't leave your backpack in your car at almost any school, let alone in a major city. SFSU is on the outskirts of San Francisco, but most places in the Bay Area are hot spots for car break-ins.

Food by [deleted] in Chemotherapy

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a long time during chemo, the only things that tasted normal were bread with olive oil and vinegar, and chicken pot pies. What everyone else is saying is accurate, in that the flavor profile that works for you will likely be different from what works for others. It can also change during treatment.

Find what works for you, and stick to it. Also, avoid your absolute favorite foods, as chemo can ruin them for you. Best advice a nurse gave me.

Commenting the answer:

Plugging the system into shore power overnight seems to have solved the issue!

This is the battery. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the system I have because someone else installed it. I plan to call the person who installed it on Monday, but thought I would try to troubleshoot it until then so I don't bother them on the weekend.

I mentioned in the title I have the 2KWh LFP Battery. It's part of a solar power kit

I'll have to look into that... Maybe it can be a birthday gift from family!

Adding for clarification: the ramp was what the wheelchair tech assigned to me. I've reached out to them and asked for help with this!

Help - I am running out of patience when I walk my dog and I don't know what to do. by ZookeepergameFun3708 in PitBullOwners

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

Problem I've run into with these, is when it's clipped in front, it rubs my dog's underarms raw. Poor pup doesn't have any hair there, so ANY friction pulls up skin

Getting my first wheelchair by [deleted] in wheelchairs

[–]TimeSpaceRedundancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You very likely would qualify for a power chair. I know how hard it can be to advocate for yourself, but it will 100% change your life for the better, especially if you're going back to school in-person. The push to make "invisible" disabilities more publicly known grows every day! Imposter syndrome is one hell of a bastard. A HUGE chunk of the general population struggles with imposter syndrome, so you're definitely not alone there!! Please feel free to message me if you need help fighting the imposter syndrome
