The Goldfish Bowl

I have no concept of the pain scale, like…I just realized that last week I said I was in especially awful hip pain and when my pt asked to rate it I said “3”. And then this week I said I felt a lot better than last week and when she asked me to rate it I said “3”. I really don’t know what the numbers are supposed to be. I know it’s supposed to be out of ten but like. I think I rate the pain by what time of the day it is. Like “i will rate the pain I’m in at a 5 at the end of the day, so compared to what my pain level will be later, what I’m feeling right now is a 3.” I also think i rate in overall pain rather than specific pain? Like, systemically I’m at a five. Some parts will be worse or better but i just rate it all at five because that’s the average

MUCH better than those stupid smile faces.

This works for depression too. I never could use the faces one properly.

Math is really tiring, im so glad i finally get to relax and do some knitting and crochet and i oh god oh my what the fuck

I have a maths degree. Crochet has taught me that actually, no, I cannot count

I hope this cat didnt kill any of those birds .

wow you actually found a practical use for that reaction image

holy shit
