The doctor was awesome. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pick up all of my new prescriptions on Thursday… and now I gotta figure out how to get farrow wraps and if my insurance will cover them or not…

Breaking Bias | Sarah Bramblette | TEDxNSU

banthefword:

The obesity
epidemic affects two-thirds of American adults, yet research shows that
weight bias in the healthcare industry actually hinders patients’
ability to receive quality care, which creates a cycle that leads to
poorer overall health. The rising cost of healthcare affects everyone
and so everyone should play a role in breaking the bias that inhibits
the efforts to reduce obesity.

Sarah Bramblette is a student in
NSU’s M.S. in Health Law program. Living with lipedema and lymphedema,
she combines her experiences as a patient and a healthcare
administrative professional in her advocacy efforts. Despite the daily
challenges of living with a chronic medical condition, she uses her
positive perspective to win allies in her fight to make the world a
better place.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED
conference format but independently organized by a local community.

The bank is empty, I’ve called in all of my favors, and now my target card is maxed out… but hey, we have groceries, pay day is thursday, and while it’s all going to rent, I’m still amazed that we even made it this far and are still kicking. Thanks again, guys. <3

Soon, I’ll post the art from the stream and get all of the stuff in the mail. For now, though, I have a tension headache like you wouldn’t believe, and a doctor’s appointment in the morning that I’m really nervous about. Will this new doctor take me seriously? Will I finally get help with this incurable disease? Or will he just treat me like so many doctors have in the past ten years? Find out in tomorrow’s exciting update…!

Also look, I’ve been drawing on the train:

Happy Mutation Day

i know there’s already a lot of art on how raph got spike. most of them that he found him in a sewer and resued him. but my theory is that splinter gave spike to him.
i think raphie has trouble expressing his feelings with words cuz he feels like others will judge him. so splinter gave him a pet for their birthday so he’ll have someone to talk to UvU
raph’s a little upset at first since he wanted a toy but soon finds out his new friend is much better.

When life gets tough it’s time to do some weird shit to your hair

this is actually a very common feeling! psychologically speaking, immediate and unexpected changes in appearance (i.e. cutting or dying hair) are a way to grasp at a physical aspect of oneself which one can control entirely when one feels as though they have no control over anything else.
