Just Some Thoughts to Jot Down

sinisterporpoise 1.) Must set up speech recognition to give my sore hands and tennis-elbow ridden arms a rest.
2.) Really should not tell someone that their banner may cause seizures in epileptics rudely especially since I'm not epileptic and do not know this.
3.) Must figure out why I became the person for people to spam if they're looking to promote asexuality related content on Twitter. (Even though I have restarted my site, It's not anywhere near the traffic levels of the old one.)
a.) Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I've got over 900 followers on Twitter in a couple of years and this is without using Twitter's promotional services.
3.) Must run things before Natural Reader before posting them to the blog. (I was trying to get some work done before my physical therapy appointment.
4.) Must find my letter explaining why I don't want to have sex with Cathy Brennan and repost it. It's just too good to let go.
5.) Must stop researching EDS. Every time I do I find another little irritating clue that suggests I might have it.* The intent was to rule this out. (Plus, it's not good for my anxiety.) Yet, after watching Heidi Collins's video and finding out that stretchy skin is not required for a diagnosis. Anyway, at least I'm pretty sure it's not that bad, and it would help with my goal of spending as much of Blue Cross/Blue Shields HIP money as possible.
6.) Must pick up more Power-Ade as soon as I can. Drinking more water wasn't helping much with the orthostatic hypotension thing, but sports drinks seem to do so. (It's also helped with the feeling like I'm going to pass out while laughing hard thing.)
*Actually, at this point, I'm pretty sure I do, but refer back to the point about anxiety. I'm also thinking it's been mistaken for a history of rheumatoid arthritis by my sister.

But it's just this list for me so far: hypermobile joints, the ability to hyperextend my knees, nearsightedness, dysautonomia in the form of orthostatic hypotension, having more hypermobile joints when I was younger, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, supernumerary teeth which my dentist is eager to yank out, Hashimoto's disease is also common, clumsiness, an autism spectrum disorder.
I probably shouldn't have listened to Dr. Heidi Collin's presentation yesterday, especially since I have no idea if she's a respected doctor or somewhere in the alternative medicine camp.

Date: 2016-02-23 06:42 pm (UTC)It's been a strange week. I got a call yesterday from my former employer telling me there are positions available in Terre Haute. I call back today and go through the Inteet process again and find out I'm eligible for rehire. I have an interview next Tuesday. I'm not sure I want to go back, but the situation is such right now that the household needs extra money coming in soon. This means I'll have to contact my lawyer to see what happens here, and if it's going to affect my case, but I know you know this sort of thing is common.
In any case, if I go back, I need to get the following items done:
-Repair ankle braces (in process)
-buy knee braces to prevent hyperextension while standing for long periods. (Actually, I already have one from the doctor who thought I had a meniscus tear.)
-find/buy a new white dress shirt. (I'm sure I threw it out because I was certain I wasn't going back.)
-Get makeup for the interview
-call lawyer to see about going back to work while this is in process.

Date: 2016-02-23 09:26 pm (UTC)I'll find out more on Thursday. Hopefully, TruArch will have the braces riveted by then.
