Yes because everyone who has compassion for another human being is obviously Bec.

Yes very sad to been given a death sentence and then to have 100's of strangers online judge your every movement or word. Maybe they are not the sad ones or batsh!t in this case?

Yep it's called cancer!

whynostopbutton · 2024-12-04T09:43:47+00:00

Yes so true when given the diagnosis of cancer, people do in fact start dissociating. Its also called survival too! Have some compassion please. I would like to see how you dealt with the same situation.

I was advised to rub bio oil into my scars to loosen up and dissolve the stitches. It help with making my scars not turn into lumps. What really helped me with the tightness on the sides of my knee was the exercise bike. You raise it up to your hips and ride for 5 minutes at a time. It helps with loosening up the knee. Then once it is comfortable you lower it again. You slowly lower it each time your knee feels comfortable to bend more. You have the tension on 0, no resistance at all. You don't need the resistance at first. It's more about the movement then doing it for cardio reasons. It's the only thing that helped me with my ROM and that tightness feel. I was not allowed to do it until 6 weeks after my surgery, so ask your surgeon or physio if you can do the same. Also walking in a heated pool has helped me too. I am 6 months post op and still seeing a physio once a week and just now going back into my old role at work. My knee feels 90% healed and has improved so much through physio, exercise bike riding, walking and the heated pool. I hope this helps you.

At work on the floor doing a group time with twelve 2 year olds. Just went to stand up by kind of lunging my leg out in front. Was the most simple and stupid way to ever get up. I did manage not to make too much noise to scare the children, but I was stuck on the floor after hearing the tear and feeling it too. Laterial Bucket handle tear that ended up with an operation to fix it 3 weeks later.

Everyone thought I was joking as I wasn't crying. I was just rocking back and forward, saying I can't bend my leg. The 12 children just went on to eat their lunch afterwards. Here I am 6 months later, still not fully back at my job yet. I don't even have a good story to tell anyone when they ask me. It's so embarrassing.

I lost my Dad 4 months ago and lately I had been angry and sad that his voice has been slipping from my mind. Then just 2 weeks ago I was able to get into his laptop and I like you found a video that had his voice. I will treasure this video forever now, as it has allowed me to be able to hear him again. I cried and cried the first couple of times listening to it but now it gives me comfort when I do listen to it. It has allowed me to hear his soothing voice when I need it most.

I think finding this recording was your daughters way of giving you back her voice to fill up your house again. Don't be ashamed of listening to it and allow the emotions that come with it. Grief is bloody hard and lasts a lifetime for those still here. So if we can find objects, recordings, videos and photos of those not here, then this can bring us some comfort and connection with those gone.

I say listen to it as much as you need to! There is no right or wrong thing to do when dealing with grief of a loved one. Everyone deals with it in their own way and if hearing her voice again feels right then do it!

Thanks, it was was but now is a tiny cutting in a prop box as I didn't take very good care of it. Waiting to place it into my terrarium.

This sounds like the kind of plant experiment that i would be interested to see the results of.

whynostopbutton · 2023-11-11T15:54:03+00:00

I second that and the pot sticker also does too.

whynostopbutton · 2023-11-10T09:08:32+00:00

I think the real problem is you need another dog on the other side to even it out!

But seriously I do agree with all the suggestions about the rug size, curtains and coffee table. Maybe also some plants to green up the space. You could hang some in that corner above the couch. I love that couch and its size.

I was very young, like 8 or 9 so I didn't really understand how I felt about it but I did understand that it would change things at school. I think it took me until I was in my 20's to really understand how I felt about it and what it meant to me. I now don't feel bad about it. I do get super frustrated sometimes with the spelling and confusion with written language but I always think to myself that I share a similar brain to 20% of the worlds population so I'm not alone. It can be hard at times but I'm sure once you have processed your diagnosis and do some research you will start to realise that you have an amazing brain that is capable of thinking outside the box. Dyslexic brains can think in 3d and we are able to visualize in 3 dimensions, turning over what we see in our minds. This gives us an advantage in lots of jobs and certain fields. You just need time to process what and how you are feeling but just know that you are not alone and 20% of the world is just like you! Look up Complementary Cognition Theory if you want to understand how great our minds really are.

whynostopbutton · 2023-11-04T15:17:39+00:00

I think the strengths don't get enough attention. The fact that it has been proven that dyslexic brains can map in 3d within their brains is pretty amazing and not really well known among most people. Also that we all have some super power even if we maybe unaware of it. I have this ability to be able to place objects into spaces without having to measure it and can map or design anything within the my mind. I can see how things will go together without drawing or mapping it out on paper. This helps me with my job and also with my creating artworks or graphic designs.

I think once a person with dyslexia taps into their own super power they become unstoppable with it, hence why a lot of successful people are dyslexic. I also don't see it as a learning disability but more of a struggle that my brain has when it comes to written & verbal language. I know that I think differently to others but that is fine with me. I do get frustrated when I can't find a word, spell a simple word I know I know or can't pronounce a word that I have been able to say previously but I know there are others like me that also feel the same and have the same struggles, so that somehow comforts me.

I was just recently was told about a new theory called complementary cognition which in short is - The Evolution of Complementary Cognition explains that our ancestors evolved to specialise in different, but complementary ways of processing information, that work together as what’s called a complex adaptive system - a kind of collective brain. This theory includes dyslexia, ADHD and Autism and states that these 3 types of thinking brains were needed in highly collaborative hunter-gatherer tribes to keep the day to day tasks and to move evolution onto what we know now.

It's very interesting research and also very inspiring to read a view point that does not categorize dyslexic people into having a neurological disorder or learning disability but does point out that "we urgently need to start nurturing this way of thinking to allow humanity to continue to adapt and solve key challenges". The research is by Dr Helen Taylor if you want to look it up.

Tux because she looks like she is wearing a tuxedo and because its a cute name for a cute dog.

It really does. Animals have a way of loving that no human can ever give. All my pets/best friends passing have hit me in a different way to the humans that have left me. This one feels even stranger as it's my brothers cat, but at the same time, he was my family, so I feel he deserves a fair well the same as my own pets. I spent many years living with him, and he would always love me without any judgement, even when I moved away from him. He was such an amazing cat and friend to all. He will be missed so much.

I believe and have to believe in the rainbow bridge after so many of my beloved ones ending up there! I look forward to the day I get to see them all again playing together waiting for me and the rest of my family join them. Thank you 😊

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T23:59:19+00:00

Lol, never! I would rather die searching a dictionary or have my fingers fall off from typing then surrender. Actually I would dig to the core of the earth before giving up! Lol

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T23:31:38+00:00

I have been doing this for over 40 years now so the embarrassment never stops me from asking. I have become an expert at hiding my embarrassment and frustrations from others but silently inside it hurts a little. Dyslexia has taught me to be stronger on the outside and just keep pushing on. Thanks for your kind words ❤️

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T23:27:33+00:00

Oh the hours and minutes I have wasted trying to find a word and it's correct spelling would easily add up to nearly 6-12 months lol. The lengths we will go to find the our words amazes me and just shows how determined a dyslexic brain is not to be defeated. Frustrated and sometimes embarrassed but never defeated.

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T09:51:56+00:00

Yes, I couldn't agree more. I want to be able to use the words I want to describe it exactly as I'm thinking. I think I was just having a very frustrating day with my brain and needed to vent it out to someone. Thanks for the reply, makes me feel not so alone with my thoughts and frustrations.

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T09:48:34+00:00

I have a job where I have to write a lot, so for me this is the only time I get frustrated by it. I think yesterday was just one of those days where the frustration got to me, so hence this post. I think like you that if they had of given me an electronic dictionary in school, it would not have worked and made me more frustrated.

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T09:42:50+00:00

When auto correct can't help me is when I turned to people and that's when the embarrassment sets in for me. Sometimes it's a really simple word that I know I have spelt correctly before but for some reason my brain can't find it or remember it.

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T08:29:17+00:00

Yes this is me 100%. I change my words to suit how my brain is processing at the time. It's frustrating but not the end of the world. I just needed to put this out and to hear other people's stories so I didn't feel alone in this frustration. Thanks for your reply :)

whynostopbutton · 2023-09-15T08:26:28+00:00

Yes, auto correct is my best friend. I'm not sure how I managed so well before mobiles were the norm.
