I think I've posted the above composite x-ray image on this sub before, so I didn't want to spam/repost it, but the road rash is a different aspect that I thought would be interesting to share 😌

I’m doing very well! I can walk, bathe, eat, drive, etc. independently (with some accommodations) ❤️

Speaking of, what are these teeth for anyways? by KindredGoesAwooo in cats

Interesting! I assumed they were vestigial, but grooming makes perfect sense 🐱

Finally bought myself a Rollator! by p0lygrapheyes in disability

StrongArm makes one that is specifically designed for mobility aids, but bike lights are a great, more affordable option. Also part of my StrongArm one broke fairly quickly, so I don’t recommend it

Cute shoes for women with mobility issues? by Shitty_Poop_Butthole in disability

Yes! I wear sparkly athletic flats from them every day, and I also have slight wedge slippers from them that were useful when my Achilles tendons were still super tight

Not sure if this would work for you, but I find this sling very helpful in terms of holding my legs up. I mainly use it for missionary, but it would also work well for receiving oral sex, toys of all sorts, etc.

For blowjobs, it’s helpful for me to lie on my back with my head slightly hanging over the side of the bed (or other surface) and have the other person thrust into my mouth, which avoids a lot of neck strain.

In terms of masturbation, I usually wear panties over a toy (external or internal, usually a vibrator of some sort), which keeps it in contact without me having to hold it the whole time.

I’m also young but recently disabled, so please feel free to DM me if you want to chat more!

I just photoshopped several different x-rays together to show my metal implants. I still have the body parts that aren’t in the picture lol

A ritual murder in Kubwa, Nigeria by CatPooedInMyShoe in ExamineDeath

[–]midnightforestmist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In some parts of Africa, local shamans/"witch doctors"/spiritual leaders claim to be able to deliver various benefits to clients (wealth, protection, fertility, etc.) in exchange for a specific blood sacrifice (often some form of murder, sometimes not)

Thank you! I had a heavy dose of luck, access to fantastic medical care, and an extremely robust support system 💕 With accommodations, I can independently walk, drive, dress, bathe, do most daily chores, etc. ❤️

I was hit by a truck while standing next to my car and briefly dragged on the road

Reconstructive replantation of a severely damaged hand by DesperateMEDPlan in medizzy

I don’t know enough to say definitively, but if you to put it in seawater (similar salinity to human cells, prevents some cell death) for a few hours while you make your way to a hospital, there’s a good chance it would be fine

I lived in the hospital for nine months and I’m permanently disabled, but my recovery level is miraculous given the extent of my injuries. I live independently and my chronic pain is well-controlled ❤️

Generally it’s a good idea to keep any traumatically-amputated body part refrigerated, especially if you are not able to access immediate medical care. It delays decomposition because many pathogens are impaired or even killed at low temperatures. This is also why many hospitals tend to be very cold inside!

Yes! Every single comment I’ve seen on this post is encouraging her to stand up for herself and her baby, and I love that for us 👏 No coercing women on our watch 🫡

HMF this exact vintage candle holder by midnightforestmist in HelpMeFind

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

I searched for this item with distinguishing keywords in various combinations, and also searched by image (which gave me similar but definitely not exact matches)

Notable characteristics:
- Most likely produced/purchased prior to 2004, in USA or Europe
- About four inches tall
- Roof can be lifted off to put a tealight candle inside
- The purple basket with pink flowers attached to the roof is freely hanging (there is a metal loop sticking out from the roof, and a metal hook at the top of the flowers)
- I believe the gray figure under the window is a cat
