We all know that having a chronic illness can be difficult and depressing, so this is a thread about the silly things that have happened as a result of our illnesses and disabilities.
Please keep them silly or funny, there’s enough depressing stuff on Lemmy these days 🙂
This is my particular piece of stupidity 😁
About 15 years ago I was seriously ill, several weeks in hospital including a coma and a lot of rehab. In the meantime, my wife had moved us in with my mother while work was being done on our house.
When I got home from the hospital, I was excited to get back online to catch up with my friends, so picked my computer up and ran up the stairs. I got about three steps up and literally got stuck, my legs just wouldn’t move.
I had to get my wife to squeeze past me on the stairs and take my computer, while I got back down, took the computer back so that she could get down, then give it back to her to put down.
Slightly embarrassing, but always makes me laugh 😁
Got a buddy that has a pacemaker because his heart stopped a of seconds while he was standing up. He fell and hit his head pretty badly, was in a coma for weeks etc. So that’s why they are concerned with short pauses when you are awake ;) thats not as much concern when you are asleep as this is happening not frequently and its more akin to sleep apnea.
