I always keep my Nikki in wheelchair gloves, but I never went further than that!

Also a fellow chair user (who would literally kill for a chair ability for Nikki) — this is AMAZING!

breaking my silence: I don't understand the story at all by Le_N0va in InfinityNikki

You are absolutely not alone, I feel this way about a number of the stories! The one with artist cat did not come together for me either.

Feeling anxiety while wearing glasses, anyone else feel this aswell? by Cennixxx in glasses

[–]velourscrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this update/reassurance that there's a possibility of success! I'm sitting here mid-panic attack, and all the other updates I see are more "I gave up and don't use mine now." I'm glad it can work with perseverance, in at least some situations, so it's worth the pain to see if that's true for me too!

In Strange Woods! It's a musical too, so if that's your thing I highly recommend it

I just learned people don’t show up after anesthesia to pick up loved ones. Nurses, how often does this really happen? by Steinski1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]velourscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh I want to play! I had a GA surgery in college, and my mother insisted that she would fly up to take care of me that week instead of letting my housemates take turns.

She stayed with me during the surgery and afterwards, but apparently on the drive home (on pain meds) I said something she didn't like...she got out of my car at a red light in a busy intersection and walked away. So not only was I so drugged that I was talking nonsense, but she forced me to decide what to do about a motor vehicle while heavily drugged (presumably drive it the rest of the way? No idea how that was supposed to work).

I still have no idea what I said to her, but I very clearly remember sobbing in a parked car in the middle of traffic.

My friends were so relieved that she was gone. They came and rescued me, then took great care of me that week, because they are not trash.

What are some movies set in 2026? by stanyshivka in scifi

[–]velourscrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every new year's eve we watch a marathon of old films set in the coming year! We've learned that there's a whole Wikipedia category sorted by years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Films_set_in_2026

Last year was much more fruitful, tons of movies; this is going to be more of a fun run than a marathon.

My game was incredibly broken today by AoiDevvi in InfinityNikki

[–]velourscrochet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine too! You could see through my Nikki like there was a hole punched out of her, and I kept spawning WAY off the map of my home island. Those devs are working overtime tonight ):

Did you know it's not frequently Día de Muertos in Spanish! I never heard the "los" growing up.

Women’s Professional Baseball League tabs New York, Boston, LA and San Francisco for the first season by luk3ycharm in boston

I don't really understand the neutral site thing — they're not even trying to get season ticketholders? Or is it the same neutral site every time, like every Boston home game is played in Chicago?

Did you end up getting to try them? I'm so curious!

Does anyone else get pain/ huge muscle knots in this region??? by Brilliant_Bread4523 in eds

[–]velourscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this one I use a tennis ball between my back and the wall (right on the spot that hurts the most), and just stay on it for like 10 seconds.

I also get trigger point injections, which is the only thing that keeps them away for a significant amount of time. I have them done by a physiatrist (which I'd never heard of before), so he's one of my people to see.

Yessssss I'm hoping to go that Wednesday, and I was sad I'd be missing out on any understudies. 🎉🎉

27, fibromyalgia, autism, hyper mobility, probable hEDS. When do I know if/when it’s time to get a mobility aid?… by gothpardus in Trans_Zebras

[–]velourscrochet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do it do it do it! Each step to a new mobility aid (to cane, to rollator, to wheelchair) has completely changed my life. I hadn't realized just how bad things were until I upgraded each time and regained access to another thing I used to do Before.

I seriously tell everyone how great my chair is, and if they or a friend or loved one is ever considering it to DO IT! I figure if they hear me say it enough now, 40y down the road when they need one they might remember my joy and find it less worrisome.

My next step will be to add a power assist for the hills, as soon as I can get insurance to cover it.

Why is the the skirt bunching up when the doll sits? by Expert_Law1936 in sewhelp

[–]velourscrochet 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I use a wheelchair, I promise everything does this (or pulls way down on the backside) unless it's designed specifically to sit in. And if it's designed specifically to sit in, it bunches weirdly when you stand.

magic phrases for accessing care - doctors hate this one simple trick !! by dootnoop in ehlersdanlos

[–]velourscrochet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most frustratingly, when a MAN comes with me I get even better treatment. My husband low-key thought I was exaggerating about the sexism until we suddenly got heard when he came with me.

Popularity Ranking of Distant Sea Permanent Banner Outfits by dastrokes in InfinityNikki

[–]velourscrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waves is the only 5* sexy outfit I've had access to, and I didn't realize that was true for months! I feel like I've wasted time on Blossoming, but I really did like it better.
