Food prefs most strongly and only a peanut allergy (mild). She is diabetic too, and my A1C Is high.
I do have a 2nd meeting with a dietician next week. Useful I guess to do my homework. I have an eating disorder, and this is work benefitting me too.

Thanks Bee. After all my friends stories of elders breaking a hip, it's finally here for her and me.
Next needed step to take is to up my recipe game and find foods she will eat.

Don't have a ramp.
But contacted a company that sells and installs. So that's all I can do. Had a lot of spoons. Did not expect focus like this.

Did NOT get aggravated at her for doing that kitchen run. That is a major win personally. Mantra is she is scared and trying. Be like (soothing?) water.

Bad thing was warning not to came from PCP, Occupational Therapist, and me. She did it anyway even with her reported pain levels of 7-8.
She was warned a 2nd fall would be even worse.
She told me and is afraid. What will she do if she can't walk?

Ultimately, it's the not caring even when you are approached in good faith and without aggro.

On the other hand, it's been reported to me that about 30% who get an educational reply do say "sorry didn't mean it that way. Sure, I won't do that anymore."
So it's not entirely useless. Just not something I can do.
Reminds me so much of the alt-text opposition and how they react when asked.

Used in sciences like astrophysics and electronics. Not in meteorology. Y'all got asked by Bipolar people to basically use a thesaurus and pay attention to stigma, and then freaked out. Nobody got "harassed" like OP said.

I kept a screen shot since I knew he'd block.
Because it's so funny he's was "I am writer reclaiming the meaning of old words."
He also had in bio, amateur historian and preserving the Cherokee language. As far as bio goes, he is not Native American.

Actual reply from the person defending it to describe weather. I'm "reclaiming" old meanings.
So you are Bipolar? No, huh.

Well it's not just that 1 article. I also didn't attack you or chew you out, so IDK how you think I harassed you.
Bother? Annoy? Irritate?
FYI. You aren't Biploar, it's not your word to reclaim. Same thing with the R-word, idiot, or moron.

Stigma is not limited to it's use to mean crazy and insane. Extreme opposites or ups and downs is also part of it.

Not trying to hassle you, but there is a reason they don't use the term in meteorology.
It doesn't have to be crazy or insane. Extreme opposites, up and down, etc. are the most common misuse of the term. So it's not so much projection but the overriding meaning others take from your words.

With Bipolar, I suppressed it around normies and nobody could tell. Masking doesn't make it fake.💜

Heya alt-text! I replied to a couple to add it, and 1 person said thanks. The rest ignored.
