The thing about the thing

Page views: 838 Part 3 of 3 Shitting has to be learnt. New day, new luck. Have you digested yesterday's post yet? Well, I'm only moderately so. To be honest, my enthusiasm for writing about my ridiculous Pippifax problems has not yet returned. But this should be the shortest part by far. If you missed the first two, you can find them here...

The thing about the thing

Pageviews: 781 Part 2 of 3 Problems that mean the world. Can. But definitely do when they do. We were in trouble. And I'm starting an extra post for that? Actually, yes. Over the last few weeks, months and years, I have repeatedly experienced the lack of understanding about my ALS disease. Especially when it comes to medical...

The thing about the thing

Pageviews: 802 (Part 1 of 3 Nothing in our lives can be taken for granted. Not even the ability to take a shit. Nice shit. Rarely is this expression more apt than in this context. Because today I want to dish up some shit for you. To be precise, I would like to tell you about this very thing. I've neglected writing for the last two days for some reason. Instead...

Manicure

Page views: 848 Supposedly a boring topic. But, as so often in life, it depends on your point of view. Is a manicure billed differently to a pedicure? Obviously yes. I haven't found anything about the reasons for this yet. Is a manicure for a tetra (patient with four paralysed limbs) to be assessed differently from a pedicure in terms of handling? Nope, I can...

Pedicure

Pageviews: 654 So far, my pedicure has been carried out by a chiropodist, friends and family. After the latest „incident“ following the removal of supposedly dead skin, the question arose once again as to whether a professional chiropodist would be more suitable for me. In and of itself, I would immediately say sure, that makes sense. But who is going to pay for it in the long term? The same thing...

Micropositioning legs

Page views: 1,283 Every now and then a little change is really good. My legs relax very well with this positioning method. Code word: leg positioning The position is basically the same as it always is when I lie on my back. Instead of placing my feet on the thin 40×80 pillow, however, you place it lengthways under my leg. And on the...

You are right and I mean peace

Pageviews: 727 Dear Diary, As much as I'm thinking about changing care provider, can I even seriously consider it? Imagine people working there with respect and common sense. What am I supposed to get upset about then? That's not possible. Somehow I can't shake the feeling that my excitement...

Supply chain problem chain response.

Page views: 722 Dear diary, why can't I think of anything more positive to write about? You could almost get the impression that I'm not doing very well at the moment. No need to worry, I'm not about to jump off the next bridge. The effort involved in getting there in the first place seems far too high. If you can...

Hit List (Week 19)

Pageviews: 725 Actually, you should be slapped for this Baby Hit-list me one more time. A slap left and right, that would be the appropriate reaction. But no, as a pacifist I'm still holding out the other side of myself. Stupid, but on the other hand, good things take time. And so, for the time being, I'll stick to the hopefully entertaining,...

Your body? Exactly not.

Page views: 820 People simply don't want to believe me when I say that I'm not hungry or have no appetite right now and therefore don't want any more food to drink. People just don't want to believe me when I say that 1.5 litres of the finest Munich tap water via the PEG will last me until 4pm. I'm not in the mood to drown. You want to...
