- When you've got ADHD, an internet connection, and a lot of downtime...
- Ask me how many times I went to go put on my shoes before leaving the house for this appointment...
- No drug they've given me in hospital has had the same disorienting thrill as some surgical resident barging in at 6 am, ripping off my dressings, and declaring "EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT YOU'RE READY LET'S SEND YOU HOME IT COULD EVEN BE TODAY", and then swanning out of the room.
- "Yeah, your pets can visit! I am surprised no one has told you that." -- my favourite nurse
- Things are still going great, but if I don't do some proper convalescing, things are not going to *keep* going great, so this is it for today's update. ❤️🦵🏻🦵🏻
- Recovery is going really well! Pain is Iow, morale is high, and I have so much support. The nurses are super sweet,and I'm on a relatively quiet ward.
- Thanks for the support and well wishes. ❤️
- friends > legs
- Next week, I will be having surgery to amputate both legs above the knee due to complications from EDS and erythromelalgia. My sister has kindly put together a GFM. Please share and consider donating if you are in a position to do so! www.gofundme.com/f/corins-sur...
- My paraplegic cat doesn't understand windows. My old place was a basement suite and there wasn't a way for her to safely access the windows; however, my new place has full-length windows -- or what she calls The Devil's Forcefield.
- "The weirdest thing about testosterone is--" No but tell me why I suddenly have wavy hair??
