I told you so

Page views: 1,202 To quote Sheldon, under normal circumstances I'd say I told you so. But, as I have told you so with such vehemence and frequency already the phrase has lost all meaning. Therefore, I will be replacing it with the phrase, I have informed you thusly. For arse. I'm fucked. Or am I screwed...

If I don't do everything myself

Page views: 1,185 Prepared article, deliberately not up to date. I could have published this article a few days or weeks ago and deliberately decided against it in order to rule out any possible conclusions about the carers on duty at the time. I will clarify this with the QM and QB of the nursing service, but certainly not here. But the background is necessary for the story, otherwise...

VaporMed Volcano Medic 2 (inhalation, hot)

Pageviews: 1,336 One of my favourite topics. Yes, I smoke pot. And on prescription with free home delivery from my pharmacy. What sounds like every stoner's dream actually has a sound medical background. Before this form of therapy, I was plagued by incessant fasciculations (muscle twitches) all over my body, especially in my extremities, stomach and shoulders. At night they were joined by at least...

Wenn du mir mit einem Spruch kommst wie du es getan hast – „Bestellst du eine italienische Espresso Maschine, bestell ich den Kaffee“ – dann steht die neue Kaffeebar schon bald in dem, was ich meine vier Wände nenne. Mit Kaffee war übrigens auch was...

In my case, for example, since the mask is necessary for life support, we have to reconnect the tube much earlier and my ventilator is never switched off. This one...

Description of the individual parts of the nose mask

Page views: 938 As with all manufacturer instructions quoted, I will ask for permission in good time, but I would like to thank you in advance. The nose mask can be disassembled for cleaning (see section „Disassembly“). If the hose is stretched tight - which should never be the case, but happens every day - the nose mask can sometimes fall when it is put on...

ResMed AirFit N20 Classic Nasal Mask

Page views: 997 I wear the nose mask during the day. It makes me feel safe and allows me to communicate at least partially orally. In addition to allowing me to eat and drink, the nose mask has another decisive advantage over the nose-mouth mask. By opening my mouth and palate, I can build up positive pressure in my throat, which I can use to...

Lose weight

Page views: 1,123 If you need tips on losing weight, I have a few in store. With ALS it's even more consistent than with the 25 kilometres I ran in 2:35 a while ago. I explain how to remove the mask in the section „Changing the mask“.
