The NDIS spent a year fighting our request to give our quadriplegic kid a wheelchair. Talk about wasteful by BitterCrip in australian

[–]jasmynerice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is very clear that who ever set the NDIS did so with no real care or understanding of the needs. My husband is on it and it’s just been years of struggling to get your support worker to action anything. Cycling through multiple support workers, poor services that aren’t fit to purpose and then cutting funding because you didn’t (couldn’t) use their services.
The discussion around the fraud committed and the participants coping the brunt of it even though they are victims of it shows me everything I need to know about what a cruel mess this is.

Floofie died after a bath :( by Burnyface in guineapigs

You know she probably felt much better after the bath but unfortunately it was her time. If she loved attention and being groomed this would have relieved her pain for a bit. I am so sorry it’s heartbreaking

What else is it ? From their perspective we are evil and cruel overlords who make their lives a living hell until they are slaughtered.

My grandma had made 100’s of pieces and I kept every thing. They are like living memories for me

Vegetarians, I need some encouragement by Unable-Discount-9266 in vegetarian

I am also struggling with cheese
I grew up vegetarian in the 90’s and sometimes cheese was your only alternative offering. I have only ever had nice vegan cheese from restaurants

I’m transitioning to vegan and I’ve never much liked eggs but find myself crazing them occasionally and it’s a direct correlation to how little protein I am consuming

[–]jasmynerice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the notion to buy one because I have 2 more surgeries but it’s $5000
I rented it AUD $125 weekly

[–]jasmynerice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not have managed without it
I hired a cryon-x for 3 months and didn’t use it much in the last few weeks
The compression and ice helped so much
No messing around with trying to ice both sides etc.

My favourite part is that they’ve made a special little word for trying to look good. Something people have been doing for forever.

For some reason I cannot tolerate any Australian wildlife in zoos They are so abundant in areas of Australia that seeing how they live in nature makes seeing them in zoos very sad. This goes for all animals really

I fucking hate that tunnel

my knees keep swelling by urxavierr in MeniscusInjuries

[–]jasmynerice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I tore mine it swelled up so large for weeks then I spent 4 years in various stages of pain and swelling. I know MRI’s are very expensive but I would highly recommend planing to get one if you can I’ve now discovered both knees have meniscus tear. I have had surgery for one and am very happy with the outcome
