Do you remember when you joined X? I don’t the app told me! #MyXAnniversary 1st Sept 2011, I’d been back in the UK 10 days, I think I had a tooth abscess and was generally tearing my hair out over the difficulty of existing without proof of address.

@Jen7ify @DrEmmaNash Dare I say that if a test is part of preoperative protocols that there should also be a protocol on what to do with the results, which will depend on urgency and type of surgery e.g. don’t delay mobility restoring surgery unless result is so high it’s dangerous.

@DrEmmaNash The behaviours here sound awful, but for future, what do I do with a hugely elevated HbA1c? I have literally no idea as a surgeon and do need to ask someone for help with this. I could ask a diabetic nurse who has never met the patient, but to me it makes sense to ask GP.

@NqtThe @TeachingAHT @CenterParcsUK @Eurocamp_UK So, that’s why we always went with them (child of two teachers).

@TeachingAHT @CenterParcsUK are the worst for this. We have, however, had very reasonable breaks on the continent with @Eurocamp_UK and these have been a fraction of the price. In fact, we got a week in France, including ferry travel, for less than a week camping in Cornwall!

Genuinely think there needs to be a petition to bring the costs of holidays down - outside of term time. The difference between term time and outside of term time is hundreds of pounds. Why should teachers always pay a ridiculous amount for holidays that others can get for less?

@mariegouz @taylorsschumann My preferred approach to this is to always keep cars above half full. You don’t want to be dashing out when a storm is incoming, you want to be the smug one who filled up yesterday.

@taylorsschumann Please don't fill up your cars all the way! It'll make the stations run out. And you don't want to deal with trying to get gas in a 2 hour long fuel line after the storm. At most get yourself up to half a tank

@nichole__kc @taylorsschumann Keeping receipts is even better. If asked, remember unless you paid cash you can probably provide evidence via your card statement.

@taylorsschumann Walk around your house and video EVERYTHING. ALL your belongings, furniture, jewlery, tools, kitchen, electronics, etc. It will make homeowners policies easier if you have to make a claim. You should actually do this once a year regardless.

@sweet_sailin @taylorsschumann This one never really made sense to me, a bath tub is uncovered, so it very quickly becomes grey water, with it’s most likely emergency use being to flush the toilet. Preppers buy multi gallon packaged water. It’s unlikely a bath tub of water keeps you out of a shelter.

@mr_finchwood @sweet_sailin @taylorsschumann It’s very quickly grey water not fresh water.

@sweet_sailin @taylorsschumann So you have water.

@taylorsschumann I think generic rules and common sense are easier food remains fresh 48 hours in a full freezer 24 in a half full freezer.

@taylorsschumann Freeze cup of ice and put a quarter on top?

@estherdaponte Not in British English, at least not in the north. This sounds like US English to me, they say “pencil crayons” when we say “coloured pencils”, which of those to you reckon is getting shortened to crayon?

Today two people told me that when English people say "crayon", they mean "coloured pencil", and that you have to say "wax crayon" to be clear that you mean "crayon". I am dumbfounded. Is this true?

@HendersonRockie There are at least four videos on YouTube…

@adamfare1996 Me. I'm missing an entire fucking arm. Peeling potatoes takes two hands. I'm missing half the equipment.

@1darklingthrush They should cost more as they will cost the supermarket more to put on the shelves, but I’ve be interested to see how much profit they make, I’d be ok if it were the same percentage.

@adamfare1996 Thing is though the ableism runs through the whole thing. In ASDA the pre peeled potatoes are much dearer. So if you find this a helpful solution (not just dexterity- when burnout things like this are a godsend) you pay me more. Hidden costs of disability again.

@adamfare1996 What a bizarre place to try drawing a live. With options such as online shopping as well as shops often being nice flat indoor spaces, shopping isn’t a significant issue. Potato peeling on the other hand, definitely a problem, would usually manage one or two at most.

@KayMorgan_Gurr I always give crystal clear responses in such circumstances.

@ehlersdanlosuk My advice would be patience, rest, being careful not to overdo it, do gentle exercises e.g. without moving contract each muscle in turn, for the gut, maybe try OTC remedies, but also keep a food diary to see if there is a pattern.

@ehlersdanlosuk Could this just be Covid? I have EDS but don’t usually have many gut issues but after Covid had plenty and other people were saying the same. Fatigue was awful, don’t recall increased pain but I had a lot less during lockdown anyway.

@AUtimestwo @wonder_cripple If you can pray you can serve your church. Sometimes we have the wrong idea of what service is.

@wonder_cripple are barely making it to church (pre-Covid). 4)Virtual access is not a nice thing to do;it's necessary for a lot of us. 5)Not a single (staff) person has checked in with us for the entire two years we've been home during the pandemic.Why? 6)Yes, I come off as weird. I'm Autistic.

@wonder_cripple My disability is not going through the same thing as a person who doesn’t have a disability

@RTMORDON @DrBenLovell I found this really helpful, although I'm not dealing with cancer or even anything typically seen as serious, merely a significant injury to my dominant hand - as a wheelchair user, it's my mobility as well as everything else hands represent. So much of this article resonates.

@DrBenLovell After the Treatment Finishes - Then What? Dr Peter Harvey Consultant Clinical Psychologist Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust. A must read for me

Trying to mentally reframe my cancer surgery and 6-week recovery time as a fun extended sabbatical off work, filled with TV, reading, daily lie-ins and chilling in the garden, but my brain just isn’t buying it

@sandramortonRN @DrBenLovell This! I had surgery 4 weeks ago, I thought by 2-3 weeks ago I'd be digging into books I hadn't previously had time to read. Nope. Some days I don't even manage TV, it's bed and an audiobook.

@DrBenLovell You have been through major surgery and dealing with a diagnosis. Take each day as it comes. No pressure to perform or be that busy person u have always been. Having an illness that makes u focus on yourself is really a life changing thing. Don’t be your own worst critic
