My family: "we have really sore throats, it feels like razor blades."
Me: "you should probably test for covid."
My family: "covids over."
Then they test.
Guess what they have? 🙃
And people are still going over to their house to hang out. 🤡

What nasal sprays are we using to prevent covid?
The one I generally use, Nasitrol, is not going to be here in time before my surgery.
So, I need one that I can purchase in store.
I know of Xlear, but I'm not sure if there's anything more effective?

Does anyone know if I can use these medicated wipe thingies that we use to clean before surgery, as like an impromptu shower?

I have survived my pre-admissions testing!
Unfortunately, the blood draws were a bit of a mess.
They could have gotten everything done with one draw, but instead I got stuck four times today 😵
First nurse kept telling me that she had been doing this for 41 years.

Nothing cuddles harder than a 12" squishmallow.
I really wish I had discovered these years ago.
The joy I feel 🥰😍
I love all the bright colors.
Their cute little faces and expressions.
How squishy and soft they are.
And their designs.
I just can't get enough of them.

NGL, between the large admin stuff for the surgery, packing, my physical symptoms and pain, traveling, and recovery...
I am overwhelmed.
I know it will get better once all of the accommodations and everything are in place.
But in the planning stages, this is challenging.

I'm not going to lie, it is really annoying to have to lug all of this stuff around.
Well, actually, I'm not going to be lugging it.

It will be an absolute miracle if I don't get covid from staying in a hotel for several days, and staying in a hospital for several days 🙃
I know I've got my precautions down, but trust me when I say that gets really really challenging after a big surgery.

The number of chronic health issues that would be aggravated by this style of airplane seats... 🙃
If they have bicycle style seating that we sort of rest on, imagine how much it would hurt for 🍆 owners to be slammed into it during severe turbulence like CAT. 😱

I’d like to say fuck you preemptively to any airline that attempts this strategy of torture. It’s miserable enough already.

I met Alice through #Disbility twitter when it was completely new to me but our communities were still together there.
Alice had zero ego. She is friendly, compassionate, a force of nature.
We had fun convos, hard convos. She was really good at giving advice, listening.

Just saw over on X that we have lost another beautiful person from the disability community, Alice Wong. 😭
May she R.I.P. and join all of the other people that the community has lost too early. 💔
My deepest condolences to her, her family, and all of her friends and acquaintances.

Well, to the surprise of absolutely no one, the appointment with the orthopedic surgeon went as shitty as expected 🤣
I'm glad I had a parent there w/ me as a witness.
Thankfully, we (Dr & I) both agreed that it was not a good fit.
