@seananmcguire Ice to the area but also behind the knee while propped above the level of the heart to ice the blood flow to the foot. Around the clock anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen or naproxen and take the prescription strength dose if she can; follow the recommended dosing schedule though)
I have this amazing bestie, @librinivorous, who is a gorgeous and talented ER nurse. Since Covid began, she's been working above and beyond the call of duty. And I just asked her to help me torture someone (fictionally).
@MuffinsSim@Mills245@SkolShannon @usernameetbd Medical providers are NOT required to report DV in most locations when it involves two autonomous adults. We are mandatory reporters for children, elderly, developmentally/mentally disabled adults.
@bethorne So, when I wear an N-95 and I have 6 Covid patients for a whole 12 hour shift and none of them will wear a mask in their rooms… this is how I didn’t get Covid for 22 months and then did about 2 weeks after omicron surged.
.@VeteransHealth how do you justify not activating emergency teams for your staff & patients at the New Orleans VA hospital for hurricane Ida when all other area hospitals were on activation, knowing staff couldn’t safely travel to work?!
@AWeaverWrites I would be lying if I said large storms headed straight for New Orleans on the anniversary of Katrina weren’t triggering for ptsd though. Isaac was in 2012 & I lost power for 5 days.
@AWeaverWrites The city still floods terribly with heavy rainfall because the pumps notoriously can’t keep up and old buildings and old trees can face a lot of damage with wind. I’m worried about flooding & debris damage 2/2
@AWeaverWrites You are correct. Katrina herself caused a lot of regular storm damage, being a large hurricane, but the catastrophic flooding was levee failure. Some work has been done to prevent that. Not enough. 1/2
