    I never saw burnt toast as an EMT. But I have seen people exhibit lots of aphasia, (expressive/receptive). People say some weird shit when they get water in their ipod. Frankly it’s a pretty scary symptom because the patient KNOWS they are receiving or emitting incorrectly, but can’t do anything about it. I bet the burnt toast meme came from aphasia

    Your description of what to look for is great. Time really matters, don’t “wait it out”. I’m looking at you 55+yo men that refuse to “make a fuss”.

    Strokes are one of the most “oh shit let’s go” calls we ever ran. (Obviously massive trauma and heart attacks too)

    Actual augments like this will never work if they phone home to do their job. There could be massive benefits to people with a huge variety of conditions and interests, but if it’s corpo ware and isn’t hyper protected by medical review, and long term support, it’s junk





  • 3 is the way.

    Have your goals. Feel your feelings. But don’t expect to jump to the other side of the ocean. Set small goals and revel in your daily/weekly wins.

    For example, I wanted to eat better and save money, when I was young and had no money. It was harder then, but I tallied up all the fast food money I was spending, and realized if I didnt buy fastfood I could afford more and better groceries including more fresh vegetables and meats. And STILL saved some money.

    So I watched my grocery bill and stopped eating fast food, ended up with some extra cash each month, and even lost a few pounds.

    This is a small thing, but I felt more in control of my life, and it made me happy.

    Modern banking apps have search features to make tallying your spending easy
