Pillows don't directly cause heart disease, but if you have heart failure it doesn't pump blood out of the venous system well. Then if you lie down flat all the blood pools in your head, so people prop themselves up with increasing numbers of pillows as their heart packs in.

also i lived with a real big dude for a while (like 180kg+), he practically slept sitting up.

last i saw him he lost a ton of weight tho, so good for him!

I thought 200kg was average. This is troubling.

i dont think anyone knew how much he weighed, that was just the highest the scale we had went

but as a person who weighs ~120kg, he was definitely 60kg heavier than me (both of us 190-some cm tall)

tbh it was over a decade ago so maybe the 180 figure is extrapolation. i dont doubt its veracity tho, he really was that big

either way theres no way to know. im not gonna hit him up on facebook like "hey i know we havent talked in like 6 years but how much did you used to weigh, its for the internet"

I have, but it was for a large-animal veterinary practice

broke a toe on Christmas Eve, and when talking about recovery timeline the doc said “usually not too long, but at your age…” like gently caress off I’m in my 40s, not my dotage

Are these lines both part of the same story? Because now I'm imagining that you broke your toe and went to a vet

it's true though, being in your 40s substantially reduces speed of recovery from injuries. feel like i spent all of last year recovering from minor injuries, only some of them emotional

yeah i would call that "decent", or "clean". as long as you dont make it grow back all weird by wearing small shoes like grandma did itll be fine in like 2-3 years at most :)

i've been dealing with a lot of knee pain lately. i quit cycling, cut my squats down to bar-only, and finally cut out squats altogether. it turns out that what was probably messing me up was sitting half-lotus

that hasn't been a problem for the past 30 years, but now it turns out that it apparently ruins me. the other night i sat burmese and still had significant pain; it's not clear if i'll be able to sit that way once recovered. heck it's not even clear that half-lotus is the actual culprit at this point.

i turn 40 this year. i've also been dealing with some acute and rather unpleasant shoulder pain the past few days. getting old sucks. i go super slow with my lifts to prevent injury and hurt myself sitting

Actually went out for a walk after a meal, as the nurse told me to do. I only almost slipped twice! Also the difference between "feels like -28" and "feels like -23" is noticeable.

idk if this will work in text but a buddy of mine thought he had a broken toe so he went to the doctor. they examined it a bit and agreed that it seemed broken. my friend said, "so, what can you do?" and the doctor just shrugged and shook his head and said "what can you do." brutal own by the doc there imo

once I gave myself a fuckin nuclear strength toe stubbing on a shopping trolley on the second smallest toe, it was agonising. i’m sure I broke it, it’s now bent lol. I never went to the doc because like they said, what can you do?
