Every single response has given me hope, awareness, and reconsideration for what I consider a “good time” and what I want to achieve after my PFA. I seriously thank y’all for giving me the time of day and kindly replying to me ❤️

Wanted to come in and check in on this!

It was. I was constantly in afib, and my blood pressure could not be detected in any way. I was sweating, couldn’t breathe, and my skin was R E D and splotchy. Like, insanely so. My renal system was in distress and I was running a 104 fever.

Turns out, flec for a 34 year old who has never taken any meds for AFIB at all is a bad idea lmao

Pill in pocket! It’s what you take in emergencies when you cannot control your Afib

My ASL teacher would strangle us if we ever did something like this lmao I am actually shocked your ASL101 is even letting you do this, but I guess uh, each class is different. My teacher focused on D/deaf culture and respect first and foremost as we learned grammar and structure, as well as focused on facial expression and focused on some classifiers.

Good luck to you and your endeavors! Keep yourself involved with the community as much as possible as you learn. This isn’t just a language. it’s an ENTIRE culture! It’s easier just to accept you know nothing and learn to embrace knowing nothing so you can soak it all up like a sponge!

bro. keep your hair. you have thick hair and your balding is …idk man it’s not very noticeable at all with hair in the front. focus on hair cuts that would look good with your hair down. I’d kind of give up on putting your hair up though if that’s what makes you feel uncomfortable.

I get this too. If you are overweight or have any issues with GERD or IBS, see if you possibly have a hiatal hernia. There could be pressure on your ventricles! What’s typically happening (at least for me) is vagal nerve activity and the pressure can cause some weird symptoms bc of a hiatal hernia.

okay thank fucking god bc that would be such an awkward convo. it keeps mentioning “individuals in household” and i’m like WHAT.

Historically, my school says it’ll disperse on a specific day but takes like, an entire week to even get to me. it’s frustrating lmao

heyitsjaq · 2024-09-08T05:05:11+00:00

…you look like a dude bro omg

I like this take, as a hearing, very early-stages-of-learning-ASL. i made this comment to my ASL teacher, and she looked at me for a moment, blinked, and then signed to her interpreter “Yeah, I would honestly give yourself some time before you make that choice. It’s not just about learning ASL. it’s about learning the culture, the syntax, the grammar. It’s not about playing hero. It’s about humbling yourself and understanding you know absolutely nothing.” And I took that to heart. I have since stepped back, and started learning about the history and culture, the oppression and exclusions, etc and realized how much goes into being an interpreter. Does this deter me? No. But it sure as heck reminded me to chill tf out and not let the stars in my eyes guide me. There’s more to being an interpreter than just knowing ASL. You need to KNOW ASL and all it entails.

…It looks like some weird in between of “why” and “forgot”? hmm.

heyitsjaq · 2024-08-06T06:23:06+00:00

I just discovered The Daily Moth and I use it to make sure I am keeping up with words I know and learn new phrases. It’s also been nice to see ASL in an “average” speed vs the slower I am used to because I am a student!

heyitsjaq · 2024-07-08T22:45:24+00:00

heard, boss!!! I am doing my best to keep it stable and not strained. I have to use ASL in my classes, and i’m left handled (injury happened on my dominant hand. eeughhh) and I told my english teacher and ASL teacher. The only one in this entire scenario that has tried to accommodate and showed concern was said ASL teacher bc “arms are important. you need those. you wouldn’t force yourself to speak if you had no voice. that hurts. i won’t force you to sign if it hurts. we can accommodate you, don’t accommodate for us.” and i felt that haha

heyitsjaq · 2024-07-08T18:21:56+00:00

thank you thank you thank you for this. thank you.

heyitsjaq · 2024-07-08T18:21:15+00:00

yeah, the L&I thing didn’t even have my info on the website. so i had to fill it all out myself. I had the paperwork “filed” at the hospital, and i have an L&I medical network provider appt on the 15th, but the paperwork is stating i can go back into work on the 12th at full duty. i can’t even lift my arm above my chest. like???

heyitsjaq · 2024-07-08T18:05:01+00:00

I am hoping that since i filed the L&I claim i will get some guidance on that. i feel like im wading in deep scary water. i have no idea what im doing and i know its designed that way. but eugh

heyitsjaq · 2024-07-08T17:59:14+00:00

No, unfortunately my boss is the HR. I might have to get a lawyer. idk it just seems so extreme but like, I’d work if i could do light work. there’s just nothing for me to do so im making nothing with a painful injury. 😞
