Primarily working in SecondLife, coming soon to VRChat
Physio went better, did 20ft each way and didn’t get dizzy, where I could only manage 6ft before going into a full blackout previously
Heart rate still jumped up to 140 but it’s a lot more manageable now
Still uncertain of the cause though and waiting on heart monitor results
At the risk of igniting a public debate about the design… we prepared for days like this.
There are now more than 100 water fountains all over the city, and 4,000 water refill points.
Fill up. Stay hydrated.
So what I’m starting to gather is I may have had an undiagnosed heart condition from childhood that kept getting fobbed off with diabetes prick tests. Doc saying I might have to wear a heart monitor for up to a year. Lil bit more concerning I guess.
So small update I guess.
I can stand for a while just fine, but any physical exertion increases my heart rate drastically and may be the cause. Even standing it went from 80 to 120, and the same for basic leg exercises while sat/laid down.
Not really ideal.
Bike also confirmed safe after delays in comms from insurance so had major stress subsided, can just focus on rest and recovery now, tho still no pain relief ._.
Still a long 12 weeks ahead even after I get released though, not looking forward to it during full summer weather
Lil update, physio being delayed too much after full blackout during earlier and moving back to other hospital, likely staying in 3-7 days longer than expected.
Vasovagal syncope any time I stand
Wi-Fi at other hospital is v bad so RIP my only form of sanity for the next week (:
They’re taking me off the fentanyl today so I’m gonna be back to completely unmanaged pain as they only want to give codeine and oral morphine which have not worked at all since admittance :/
Physio day 3 basically the same as 2. BP fine so not sure why near blackouts keep happening. a walker frame is off the table for now so using a seated frame for getting around
Trying to sit in a chair for 1-2h as I’ve been stuck laying in the same pos for 10 days but super dizzy
Physio day 2 a bit mixed
Got cast off, relieved a lot of pressure. Managed to stand up at walker frame, tho very briefly. Went dizzy to almost blacking out within 10 sec of standing
Still think I should have a frame around knee but if I keep up I could be out in 3-4 days
