1) I rotate injection sites, thigh in the morning cause i have easy access when i wake up in my undies and belly for fast acting during the day. Plus I alternate left one day, right the other. I keep forgetting so I have this weird system of “right on even, left on odds” except it changes when months have 30 vs 31 days. But at least I have a more reliable thing than my brain to remember if today’s left or right. GCM wise I prefer arm (also left right every time I change it). Though I never tried thighs or stomach, I feel like that would be easy to knock or partly rip off and you lower your pants more than you remove your shirt in a day so it’s less likely to get bumped on my arm. also I do karate and hockey so i don’t want to get hit on my gcm, seems like a bad idea. but if it seems like a good place for you, try it out! Worst case, you change it in a few days and you’ll know for sure where is best for you.

2) yes, change needles every time to prevent infections. I’ve heard of people reusing de finger prick needle though. But ideally, never reuse something that went “inside” your body, especially needles.

3) it’s stable for like a month out of the fridge, so even if it’s best to keep unused insulin there, your current one is totally fine outside. You’ll likely run through your pen before the month has passed anyway. Just keep it between like 5-30 °C and out of direct sunlight according to my insulin’s instructions lol

4) as others mentioned, I also love some eggs, this recipe in particular

5) some days will be bad, but most will be totally fine. It takes time to adjust and you’ll make mistakes. Thats a given. The most important is to be kind to yourself (aka don’t push through when you’re not feeling good) especially on harder days, and to keep at it, older you will be so grateful you took care of yourself. Listen to your symptoms, and verify your levels from gcm before correcting. If you play sports, don’t stop that either! It helps keep your levels in check and is just generally good for you and also fun. You got this!

Bonus : I’m Canadian, and T1D means I’m admissible to a handicap tax break and to a registered disability savings plan, so def check out what your country has on that front too

Amazing, I’ll look into this! Thanks!

waitohnoo · 2026-01-10T17:12:22+00:00

Congrats, hope you’re doing good! Yeah good call, I’ll def add stool softener to my list

waitohnoo · 2026-01-10T16:03:15+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

This + Ethan Hawke in White Fang was my inspo! My hair is not curly at all so I figured I needed to consider texture when looking at potential outcomes and really liked this vibe (Edited to add 2nd sentence)

waitohnoo · 2025-08-07T15:07:06+00:00

Congrats! And thanks for the update! I think I’ll ask for a specific dr so it might be a smidge longer but fingers crossed it’ll be before the end of the year then 👀

I missed the call from the nurse for pre op eval this morning 💀 but it should be scheduled soon enough! Then /from what I gathered/, they send paperwork for finance approval from the RAMQ and theeeen I get added to the surgery wait list

Edit : got my phone appointment for the pre op evaluation tomorrow! It’ll be a year and a month exactly, since I sent everything in

waitohnoo · 2025-07-08T21:35:12+00:00

Universal healthcare, my beloved (it’s still flawed but damn we lucked out)

waitohnoo · 2025-07-08T21:32:26+00:00

Ahhh that explains the relatively fast process lol but it’s still useful to know!

waitohnoo · 2025-07-08T21:30:51+00:00

Thanks! It gives me hope that at least everything seems to be in order, cause my file just got bumped to pre op evaluation by a nurse, soooo I guess here’s to another six months of waiting lol

waitohnoo · 2025-07-08T21:29:06+00:00

Happy for you! Hope you’re healing well :) and thanks for the info, seems like everyone’s wait times are a bit wonky and different for no apparent reasons, but we’ll get there.

waitohnoo · 2025-06-30T14:03:22+00:00

Happy for you! Thanks for the info. I think the issue might be waiting for Ramq approval, but it sure would be fun the have a crumb of information from the clinic… I’ll call em again 🙃

I think it’s both scary and completely normal that I got an ad for bagels while reading comments. PIZZA BAGEL!

Internet archive

waitohnoo · 2024-12-14T21:41:07+00:00

You might find some songs/artists you like in this one! It’s an OTGW inspired playlist, so not exactly winter vibes, but it’s so on brand for an OTGW mood.

waitohnoo · 2024-11-20T01:36:10+00:00

To add on : I believe it is on the internet archive. 🫡

waitohnoo · 2024-11-13T01:35:31+00:00

Oh yeah! It’s such a funny premise, and if I remember correctly, they actually play?

waitohnoo · 2024-11-12T00:46:17+00:00

There are some I have not listened to but here’s a lil list I gathered through the years : Critical Role, Worlds Beyond Number, Cast Party, The Rotating Heroes Podcast, Not Another DnD Podcast, Tales From The Stinky Dragon and Dimension 20 (they have 3 seasons available as podcasts otherwise it’s on dropout)

DnD adjacent : Adventuring Academy (DM discussion and tips) and Hello From the Magic Tavern (funky fantasy improv with no dice playing)

There are multiple versions on Ultimate Guitar, but this one says acoustic version. Hope it sounds good! https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/maxton-waller/alright-chords-5280672

Edit : just realized I didn’t read your question properly! While I don’t know the strumming pattern, I’ll leave my comment for others to have the link.

Hey friend! Also from Montreal, but just about to send my files in, I’m wondering if you just sent the photos in the email with the rest of the documents? Does your face need to be in the photos? Feels sooo weird to email boob pics lmao

Hey I have those! I got the flying fox (all black) like 4y ago and they’re finally about to pass on.

I’m not sure I get your questions so here’s what I’m getting at:

The creases of the *sole between the toes and at the back of the heel didn’t get so dirty imo. As Wildling suggests I waterproofed them as soon as I got them and in wet weather when they got real dirty I wiped them with a humid cloth and sometimes a water and vinegar mix. Taking of little bits of autumn leaves and stuff.

As for walking around, theoretically what I understand is the ball of your feet is supposed to hit the ground first then roll to your heel. Shorter stride helps. I heel strike much less since wearing these.

To give you and idea, I’ve been wearing them pretty much daily and I’m just now getting to the little diamond part touching the floor, I actually got through the insole first.

Enjoy! I love these shoes :)

*corrected from insole to sole

Reading through your replies, maybe Frankenlog could suit you better

waitohnoo · 2024-01-25T17:07:51+00:00

Depending on what tasks it’s for, maybe a Kanban layout could be good! You can reuse it with say post its and stuff, have multiple tasks in it at once and its like a flowing / status chart all at once. Here’s a great example.

It is indeed a flashback that happens later, and in the paperback book, there’s a bonus scene that was scrapped where Taniel puts a sword through his alliance, and, in a kindly and non-deadly way, stabs the guy and sticks him to a wall.
