You've always been amazing too and it's so awesome to just see your art, even more to get some <3

That could be a Christmas card

I also would not have remembered if I didn't also have the picture you took of him taking this picture of you :D

I think @pherlofsky.bsky.social took this with my camera

Ooh thank you! :o

Aside from the immense moral support from everyone, my parents gave me a case of protein shakes, my secretary gave me two big containers of soup and some blueberry muffins, and @beals.gay has given me some chicken and rice dishes :)

I just constantly feel like I got kicked really hard, and this morning standing up felt like sticking a soldering iron down my pants :(
It's not all bad, I've had an incredible outpouring of support from my friends and family, and I'm extremely grateful for that :)

I just have a super low pain tolerance and they're not giving me anything extra considering all of the extra work. I've got some pills that are 5mg of hydrocodone and 325mg of acetaminophen, then they want me to stack that with 600mg of ibuprofen.

So what was supposed to be like a 45 min procedure with a 3" long incision became 2 hours, and layers of 6" long cuts... And unknown to me I could've had something really serious happen prior to this so it's good that surgery happened when it did

At that point (earlier this year) it was determined that yeah we should probably do something about that. That something was surgery that happened on November 13th.
Once doctors got in there, things were uh, worse than what was observed previously

For real, doing anything but sitting in my chair is excruciating.. I'mma talk to the hospital about meds x.x

Aaa it looks so good!
