Being Half Deaf
I was on a flight from Vancouver, something felt off for me…my muscles were achy and sore, my nose was runny, my throat hurt, the air felt dry and I was sweating and cold all at once. It was difficult, the plane took off and I found myself reaching for nausea medications I had stashed in my carry-on. I felt dizzy…was I motion sick on a plane? It had been a really long day, yes travelling with a near two year old was a lot for someone who does not have children to take. Yes, I was tired. I got home and immediately went to bed and slept for fourteen hours. I was hit with COVID 19. The pandemic was supposed to be over. I called in sick to work, I woke up and slept another 12 hours, a fever had taken over my body. Chills and sweats kept coming and going and I finally decided I had to go into work. I worked the day and I was feeling great up until 3:30 my ear suddenly was plugged this is what happened last time…I got an ear infection. I had the drops at home from the last time I was sick. I quickly dealt with my dog and I put the ear drops in and waited for the magic to happen, but things went south. The room was spinning, turning. I shut my eyes…nope. I ran to the bathroom and I started to vomit hard. Not once, not twice but four times in the span of an hour. I looked at wait times in emergency they were all around five or more hours and since the Canadian healthcare is so great you need to times it by two so I’d be in emergency for 12 hours before I saw someone. That option was out, plus I could not physically stand up. Call the help line, okay two hours I’d be able to have a virtual visit. Okay, I can do it I thought as I dragged my body back to bed. I crawled under the covers shivering from being on the bathroom floor. They gave me prescriptions and my husband was able to pick them up. Rushing to my side he gave everything immediately and I went to sleep.

السيسي Improving your mobility and flexibility is essential for overall health and well-being. It helps to enhance your range of motion, reduce the risk of injuries, and improve your posture. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a sedentary individual, incorporating these exercises into your routine can significantly benefit your physical and mental health. Mobility refers to your ability to move your joints through their full range of motion. It involves the coordinated effort of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Flexibility is the ability of your muscles to lengthen and contract. It's closely related to mobility and plays a crucial role in maintaining good posture and preventing injuries. 1. Child's Pose This simple yet effective pose helps to stretch the spine, hips, and shoulders. To perform: Kneel on the floor, sit back on your heels, and fold forward, resting your forehead on the ground. Hold this pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, breathing deeply. 2. Cat-Cow Pose This dynamic pose helps to improve spinal flexibility and mobility. To perform: Start on your hands and knees, with your back flat. As you inhale, arch your back like a cat. As you exhale, round your back like a cow. Repeat this movement 10-15 times. 3. Hip Flexor Stretch Tight hip flexors can limit your range of motion and contribute to lower back pain.

Tips for Effective Stretching Warm-up Before stretching, engage in light cardio activity, such as walking or jogging, to warm up your muscles. Listen to Your Body Don't push yourself too hard.

Less to Hold, More to Live
Ally sat in her small apartment, surrounded by boxes she hadn’t opened in years. They were filled with things she once thought she’d need, items she’d spent years collecting: trendy clothes, sentimental knick-knacks, gadgets, and old books that she kept “just in case.” She had everything, yet somehow, she felt weighed down. Every shelf was full, every closet packed, but there was an emptiness that she couldn’t shake.
