My Whumpy Side Blog

(The storms are killing me)

The way sore muscles start to twitch alongside the pain, the contours of whumpee's hands contorting at the slightest disturbance, or thick back muscles rippling while plagued with cramps

Facial jaw/muscle pain from pressure making whumpee wish they could just rip their face open like a snake

Whumpee unable to fight back against whumper due to a flare up

Caretaker tracing their hand over whumpee's skin, only for their handprint to remain in clear red shape.

Whumpee halting mid-run, recoiling suddenly from an invisible wound

Overworked leader whumpee standing up fast, only to faint from blood pressure issues

Villain whumpee having a flare up in front of Hero

Staring at the ceiling, unable to move, unable to think, unable to do anything.

Crying and screaming, not being able to deal with it anymore, but also not being able to get away from it.

Breathing through it and feeling some relief. Okay. I can do this. I'm still in control. I can still handle this. Just breathe. Just focus on your breathing.

Breathing through it and feeling no relief at all. Slowly losing your grip on your coping mechanisms. Decending into panic and desperation. Hyperventilating.

Doing okay with the pain until one small extra thing suddenly completely sends you over the edge.

Rocking back and forth. Trying to sooth yourself and distract yourself. Fidgeting. Biting your lip. Bitting your nails.

Pulling on your hair to create new pain to distract you from the existing one.

Getting dizzy and nauseous just from the pain.

Drifting in and out of consciousness. Welcoming the softening edges of the pain as you're slowly drifting off.

Constant chronic pain that might not be that severe but becomes completely overwhelming to your mind simply because its always there.

Sharp unexpected blunt pain that suprises you and makes you yell out, all of your brain consumed by the sudden wave of agony as adrenaline rushes through your system and you're awareness completely shrinks to the sensation or the injury.

When the character grips hard, tightening all their muscles, in the hope that it will keep them from fainting.

When the character slowly lowers themselves against the thing they where holding onto because they can't keep themselves upright anymore.

Summer sees both a drop off in donations and, at least for our trauma center, a spike in traumas. Trauma centers across the US are in danger of running out of blood for our trauma patients TODAY, which is very scary but, unlike much of the other scary national news coming across our screens these days, is something you can help fix immediately and directly.

While O- is the most dire need as it can be safely given to anyone in an emergency, all types are needed! Our emergent release blood is being pulled for patients who have a high chance of death if they don't get blood within the hour. Once they're stabilized, they can have their type confirmed and get blood of a specific, matching type released to them so that O- can go to the patients who need it most.

"im fine."

"how much pain are you in?"

"Don't look at it, just look at me."

"You're so lucky it's not worse."

"This is going to hurt a lot, but we need to clean it."

"At least, it's still attached to you."

"No, no, no, don't get up!"

"That looks bad. Like really, really bad."

"We should get you to a hospital. Right now."

"How did you manage to do so much damage?"

"Okay, we should all stay calm and not panic."

"What were you thinking, putting yourself into so much danger?"

"You should definitely let me carry you."

"That's what you get for playing the hero."

"On the bright side, that scar's going to be a great conversation starter."

"That was so stupid. You could have died!"

"Could I interest you in a band-aid? Or a trip to the ER?"

"It's okay, just... don't look at it."

"You can't go on like this!"

"Like five centimeters to the left and you would be.. I can't even think about it."

"As soon as the adrenaline is gone, you will definitely feel it."

"Not as bad as we all thought it would be."

“I have no idea what side effects you’ll have… or how to treat them.”

(in my experience, bc this was the first thing i wrote after waking up from surgery a couple hours ago)

since you can’t eat beforehand, I went in pretty grumpy-hungry but believe me, nervousness takes care of that QUICK and i completely forgot

if you have good staff, they notice when you‘re nervous & chat calmly without overwhelming you

anesthesiologists and other staff members repeatedly ask what surgery you are getting done to make sure you were properly informed and to avoid mixups; made me nervous (bc why did no one know what surgery they were doing with me??) until my anesthesiologist explained that they just have to hear me say the words

during prep, different people will be doing different things and giving instructions on what to do (make a fist, put your arm there, etc.), sometimes overlapping (adhd hell)

the face mask was placed over my mouth and nose with just normal breathing air for like 3 minutes while they were still prepping (i assume to get me used to the sensation?)

once the drugs started coming, my very very first instinct was „oh, i‘m gonna throw up“

i didn‘t throw up but then everything went hazy and blurred, kinda like being REALLY tired-drunk

one of the anesthesiologists was standing behind me and caressing my face while talking to me and promising to take care of me when she noticed i was getting freaked out; the other one was administering the drugs

being wheeled around in the bed is kinda surreal because you only see the ceiling (blurry too in my case since i wasn’t wearing my glasses) and hear everything around you. it is strangely protected but also vulnerable since in that moment you have no ability to decide what happens

before you go into the operating room you are first wheeled into a room where you transfer from bed to operating table, but the room is super creepy and looks straight out of a medical horror game, with the sterile cold metal table in the middle and all

when you are wheeled into the operating room it is super cold but they put a warm, fluffy blanket fresh out of a towel warmer or something all around you and it is heavenly warm

my surgeon came in and i didnt recognize him masked up and without my glasses, and he made a joke about how i might not recognize him after either (there was risk of blinding me, diabolical joke to make) so the anesthesiologists banished him from the room

the anesthesiologists will try to find a topic to chat to you about as a distraction while strapping you in and as someone who is socially awkward, it is much more stressful than the thought of surgery itself

- when I’m scrubbed in (the sterile person at the instrument table) I like to turn around and do a little wave as the patient comes in and say something like “Hi there, I’ll be helping out the surgeon today.” I also put a towel over some of the “scarier” instruments so the patient doesn’t see them.

- putting a warm blanket on a patient and seeing them relax is literally my favorite thing about the job.

- if the procedure is a D&C or D&E for a miscarriage, I keep the machine covered with a bedsheet until the patient is asleep. No need for them to have that mental image for the rest of their life.

- between myself - the circulating nurse, the scrub, the resident(s), the anesthesiologist, and anyone else that might be in the room, it’s a lot of people. I tell the patient “we’re gonna come at you like a pitcrew for a fancy sports car car.” That usually gets a laugh.

- Straps. So many straps. The operating table is super narrow, you see. Imagine like a big Velcro seatbelt. I tell the patient “this is a seatbelt that keeps you secure on the table when you go to sleep.” When I place their arms on the armboards that are perpendicular to the table, I wrap the Velcro strap around their forearm and say “these keep your arms from flopping off the table when you go to sleep. I know it feels like we’re strapping you down, but I promise it’s all to keep you safe.”
