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: 801 (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 want to tell you about this very thing. I've neglected writing for the last two days for some reason. Instead...

The Paddy 1.0

Page views: 648 Dear diary, as much crap as I've had to live through in the past few days and weeks, we need a change of subject, don't you think? It would be more appropriate to say months and had to live through. Or even survived. Oh man and woman, I love words, language, twisted sentences and sarcasm. And I like to explain all sorts of things...

Physio exercise 3: Nerve-protecting positioning

Page views: 604 The third and final exercise in this series requires no effort at all, but is all the more effective. This is about positioning, which should ideally be done after the other exercises. As usual, I lie on my back with my head turned to the right. Normally, my arms are relatively parallel to my body. For this...

Physio Exercise 2: Underarm Decompression

Page views: 707 With the first exercise, we have already relieved the affected nerve in the shoulder and back area. The next exercise is aimed more at the neck. Both exercises together bring about a considerable improvement. Ten minutes in the morning is often enough to get me through the day without pain. Firstly, bend my right arm. With...

Physio Exercise 1: Pull out the shoulder blade

Pageviews: 695 My exercises are aimed at calming the stressed nerve, which presumably originates somewhere in the spine, runs behind the shoulder blades to the armpits and then extends through the arm to the tip of the thumb. That was probably completely anatomically incorrect, but hey, I'm neither a biologist nor a doctor. I'm not writing a textbook here, I'm just saying....

Pain, let go.

Page views: 625 Dear diary, not so long ago I wrote something about how little pain I generally feel. Or at least I don't let it show. However, there were one or two things I forgot to mention. In my last post on the subject of pain, I only referred to acute, or if you want to call it that, spontaneous pain...

Surface and Tobii, alignment (positioning) of the stand

Page views: 605 Aligning the Surface is actually quite simple. In the status monitor, the eyes must be in the centre with a slight downward tendency. On the right-hand bar, the triangle must be in the upper, just green area. Important: The stand and the holder are never adjusted to position the Surface Tablet. And the infrared camera is perfectly aligned. Please do not...

Ella bella? Assolutamente no.

Page views: 766 Dear diary, if I worked like this. I'd have no more customers and would have been broke long ago. I would be ashamed of myself. I think that surprisingly often when it comes to suppliers and manufacturers of medical aids. I fully understand that the high costs of such products and services are not entirely out of the question.
