I'm posting this extremely last minute... I'm getting top surgery in a couple days and could really use support. Please read, please boost, more 🔗s below

a pic of myself looking down with the words "LOSER GOTH" written on a bike stand in front of me Text: I really need some help. I’m currently in the process of trying to prepare for my upcoming top surgery! I’ve had chronic rib pain for years that has been debilitating at times, so this means that I’ll finally be able to stop wearing binders and compression tops and feel comfortable in public without further risking my health. Finding a surgeon within my state that took my insurance was a huge positive, and confirming a date for the procedure was, too! I’ve felt more hopeful about things than I have in a long time! Text: But the reality is that this surgery is gonna have me incapacitated for a while. I work from home, my main focus being jewelry and small repairs, and I'm not sure how well or when I'll be able to get back to that with the movement restrictions I’ll have. This leaves the majority of daily tasks to my fiancé, on top of her already working multiple jobs and pursuing her own creative endeavours. We need to continue giving our IBD kitty the specific food, supplements, and probiotics that he needs to stay healthy as well. The hospital that my surgeon works out of is around 2 hours away from where we live, so gas and travel money for multiple visits and follow-ups is another concern. Text: Expenses in the winter months hit far harder than I expected, and I’ve landed in a really difficult place. What I thought I would have saved up by now is entirely nonexistent, and to be fully transparent, I’ve been struggling for quite some time now. Anything and everything helps, and I’d be so thankful for any contribution. I'll post links in this thread to me and my fiance's shops as well.

STARTING EDS PT BOOK AAA
there's a lot of helpful context in the book itself but going to document the exercises for accountability's sake
SIJ And Lumbar Spine Exercise Progression FOR THE PERSON WITH EDS AND THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST: This progression consists of three levels of mat exercises as well as three levels of exercises on a physioball. The mat exercises are intended to stabilize the ilia, while the ball exercises are intended to stabilize the sacrum and L5-T12. If a patient cannot perform Level One Mat exercises due to increased pain, then they must begin on Level 0.5 Lumbar Stabilization. Once the patient has completed Level 0.5 Lumbar Stabilization, they can progress to Level One Mat exercises. In order to provide muscle symmetry, all exercises in a particular level need to be performed for three minutes until a patient can progress to the next level. Mat and ball exercises can be performed at the same time. The exercise progression will be as follows: 1. Begin with Level One Mat exercises. Once completed, progress to Level Two Mat exercises. 2. Once Level Two Mat exercises have begun, Level One Ball exercises will be introduced. 3. Once Level Two Mat exercises have been completed, Level Three Mat exercises will be introduced. 4. Once Level One Ball exercises have been completed, Level Two Ball exercises will be introduced. 5. Once Level Two Ball exercises have been completed, Level Three Ball exercises will be introduced along with Level One Neck, Mid Back And Upper Extremity exercises. 6. Once Level Three Mat and Ball exercises have been completed, they will be added to the patient's final home exercise program and performed only on Mondays and Thursdays. All exercises in this progression are listed in Appendix A. 1. SUPINE ABDOMINAL BRACING POSITION: -Lie on your back with knees bent and feet hip-width apart on the mat. Perform pelvic neutral with abdominal bracing, holding for ten seconds and relaxing for one second. Repeat this process for one and a half minutes. -Pelvic Neutral With Abdominal Bracing: This is defined as a range of motion somewhere between the low back being fully arched and fully flattened in which the position that the low back is in does not hurt. This position is different for every person. Find pelvic neutral, then take your hands and place them on the front part of your hips. Find the two bumps on your pelvis (ASIS) that your physical therapist will teach you to find. From the bump, move your hands one to two inches inward toward the midline (belly button). Press your hands into your stomach and say the words, "ha, ha, ha." The muscle contraction you feel under your hands is your transverse abdominus. Now, pull your belly button in while performing a Kegel exercise (tighten as if you are attempting to hold your stream of urine). You will feel the same muscle contraction as when you said, "ha, ha, ha." If you feel this, you have achieved pelvic neutral with abdominal bracing. Hold pelvic neutral for ten seconds, then rest for one second. Repeat this process for one and a half minutes. 2. SUPINE GLUT SETS POSITION: -Lie on your back with knees bent and feet hip-width apart on the mat. Squeeze and tighten your buttocks muscles. Hold for ten seconds and relax for one second. Repeat this process for one and a half minutes. PROGRESSION: -Begin this exercise at one and a half minutes and add ten seconds each day until you reach three minutes. Once you reach three minutes for this exercise, you are ready for Level One Mat exercises. YOU SHOULD FEEL THESE MUSCLES WORKING WITH THIS EXERCISE: -Gluteus maximus (buttocks) FOR THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST: - A pillow may or may not be used for this exercise, depending upon the pain level in the neck region when performing this exercise. -Make sure the patient's knees and hips are in neutral (not rotated) to avoid hip, knee or ankle pain. 1. BRIDGING POSITION: -Lie on your back with knees bent and feet hip-width apart on the mat. Then, squeeze your buttocks muscles, while lifting your buttocks off mat and hold the pelvis steady up off the mat for five seconds. Then bring buttocks back down onto mat and relax for one second. Repeat this process for one and a half minutes. PROGRESSION: -Begin this exercise at one and a half minutes and add ten seconds each day until you reach three minutes. Once you reach three minutes for this exercise, you are ready for Level Two Mat exercises. YOU SHOULD FEEL THESE MUSCLES WORKING WITH THIS EXERCISE: -Gluteus maximus (buttocks) and hamstrings (back of legs). FOR THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST: - Make sure the patient's hips do not externally rotate. -If hamstrings cramp, have patient squeeze buttocks first, then lift buttocks off of mat. If hamstrings continue to cramp, have the patient perform glut sets for one and a half minutes adding ten seconds per day until they reach three minutes (see Level 0.5 mat for exercise description). Then, have them perform bridging.

AIM are the good guys. If you see folks sporting this flag, you can relax knowing they're here to help us get ICE off our backs.

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

Did you know that I have a music degree, and for $25-75 a minute you can hire me to compose music for your video game or other project? I have conveniently enclosed some samples to entice you...

I'm still setting up a webpage for it, but you can always DM me for a full portfolio and any questions.
