RE: My Personal Challenge: 9 More Weeks To Go

in #life7 years ago

Of course they don’t know. The ‘normal/classic’ world of doctors is all about taking care of symptoms, not about finding the cause. Apparently 10% of the patients will get it again. For some it can take years, but I was the lucky one to get it immediately.
I asked her the same question: how can this happen when sll you do is lie down and walk around very carefully. That doesn’t make sense.
WEll, to me it does make sense. I believe that all physical problems are a result from an inbalance on a much deeper level, psychologically, so to speak.
As long as I don’t find that balance and somve some deeper problems within my core, it will happen again.
But that are things you can’t tell to regular doctors; they would lock you up in a psychiatric institution - lol.

Judt today I was talking to my girlfriend that we should take care of the device problem. We need to find a way to make my laptop tilt in suvh a way that I can
Use it while lying down. With 9 more weeks ahead of me, it is now one of the priorities.

I got myself a WiFi extender, and it’s better, but still not good enough. Maybe I should buy one of better quality, because this one was really cheap.

If the weather will stay ok, and there will be no frost, I’ll plant out what I can just before my surgery. But I’m training my girlfriend - lol. At first she was like: “ just a few plants”, but after I had shed some tears she agreed to do what she can (and she can do almost everything, so I’m pretty safe)

I really like how practical you are. So is my girlfriend. It’s a quality I really admire, especially because I’m not practical at all.

Thanks!

Wait. What? I thought treating symptoms was just what doctors did in the United States. I'm shocked. :)

I think there is something to what you say as far as imbalance. I've been calling it stress. I feel much better all the way around when I'm not stressed and far worse when I am. Still, the mind does play a serious role in all of this, so I hope you find the balance you need. Stupid hernias. :)

I would think an extender in the mid-range of price, strategically placed, would help. Or you could just run a long ethernet cable from the modem to your laptop. :) Wouldn't help your tablet, though, and I'm sure it wouldn't be very practical either.

The wifi connection on my tablet is ok. It’s only my phine that is acting up very often.
But I do need to find a way to get access to that laptop again. Everything is on there: myvgraphics design software, my HTML editor, hundreds of GB on interesting ebooks, articles and software, all the tools I use to get the word out when I have published a post, and most of all: a keyboard. Those on-screen keyboard justvfon’t do the trick. If I could lay the device on a table it might be different, but holding it up In front of you just isn’t it. My typing speed is like 5 words a minute on that tablet - lol

There's this. It almost looks comfortable, too. :) The laptop would have to be pretty well secured. Not the best of situations should it just suddenly drop.

THis is EXACTLY what I need. Any idea what it’s called? Or is it a DIY thing.
If it has a name and it is for sale, I’m in!
Thanks :0)

I think it has different names. I'm sure there are DIY ones, but you can also find different ones to buy. It's basically an adjustable laptop stand, so it can be used like the picture or you can fold it around and use it on a table when you're able to sit down. Main thing is to make sure it comes with some kind of clamp or way to hold the laptop in place, as well as the legs/arms that swivel.

Amazon has some but, again, you'll want to do some research to get the one you want. Prices seem to be under $100 for the ones I've seen.

I bought one yesterday 😁
Just waiting for it to arrive...

Just in time for the leagues to start up again!

Oh, great.... :)

All kidding aside, I really hope it works out the way you want it to.
