Oh, Rie! I know how exhausting it can be, but do your best to retain hope for the future.
I lost hope after my 14th surgery in 14 years. I almost didn't make it, but then was gifted with a wonderful person who helped me through it. It took 7 more surgeries to finally fix the problem, but here I am!

They're protecting him from all the Healthcare CEOs that want to strike back.
They sure aren't protecting him from the people...

I've been considering an e-reader. I'm still more of the physical book guy, but I have a KU account it just goes mostly unused.
I'm still getting through my latest buys, but once I do, based on your recommendation here, I think I'll get the Kobo Libra. Thanks for the excellent information.

What a beautiful moment!

I don't know her. My role in the unit is on the tech end. I'm mainly a liaison between the Surveillance Abstractors and the IT department, so I don't meet very many from the community.

I had a good support system through much of it. Gladly, it's been two years since my last surgery, and I have none planned at this point.
Going to see if I can go two whole years in a row for the first time since 2000.

Having had 21 surgeries in the last 24 years, I completely understand how pre-op can suck at times. I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible.

I hope your today is better. Be extra gentle with yourself today.

It's one of the things I like most about this platform.
Kindness abounds.

That must mean you need extra rest today! No matter what, be gentle with yourself.
You deserve it.

Every little bit helps. Thank you!
