If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

TURN OFF YOUR OTHER PHONE AND DO NOT TURN IT ON AGAIN UNTIL YOU ARE ALONE AND SAFE BECAUSE THE ALARM WILL COME THROUGH AS SOON AS THAT PHONE IS POWERED ON.

AGAIN I REPEAT:

OCTOBER 4, 2023

THE ALARM WILL COME THROUGH AS SOON AS THAT PHONE IS POWERED BACK ON.

SO ONLY POWER IT BACK ON WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

OCTOBER 4, 2023

If this doesn't make sense, then good news it's not for or about you but still reblog it because you never know who may need to know this.

PLEASE REBLOG

Here is a Sample Reasonable Accommodations Request. We recommend you send this request to your hospital leadership, as well as the General Counsel, and your provider. Here is a list of Hospital CEOs that you can refer to:

We recommend calling to follow up, being confident and persistent! We are in this together.

Subject: Reasonable Accommodations Request

To: Clinic director, provider, hospital general counsel, your physician, ADA office if there is one.

Because I have a medical condition that, according to the CDC, makes me at high risk for severe COVID outcomes, my functional limitation is that I can only participate in indoor spaces which require universal masking and other layers of protection against airborne viruses. I am requesting reasonable accommodations as guaranteed by the ADA that all my upcoming visits in the next six months take place in a universally masked setting. Additionally, I request

1. A guarantee that I will not encounter a single unmasked person for the duration of my visit, including other visitors, hospital staff or other patients.

2. All of my providers will wear an N95 mask at all times in my presence

3. Additional air ventilation will be provided for my visit, I am happy to bring my own HEPA purifier to assist with this.

4. I will be seen, treated, and in post-op in a private room which I will not share with any other patient.

5. All providers who see me will certify that they have not tested positive for COVID nor been exposed to COVID in the past ten days, and complete a COVID symptom screening

If you are immunocompromised or in anyway at higher risk of getting seriously sick from an “everyday” illness, you do NOT have to let fact that other people don’t care about your health and safety affect your wellbeing.

You did not waste your year.

If you made it this far, that’s already not wasting your year.

You made it through the year, you laughed, you cried, you smiled, you saw the sun and felt the rain, and most importantly, you’re still here.

You did not waste your year.
