Love you, too. Happy to do whatever I can to help.

I’m sorry it did, and thank you. I’m glad they were open to including folks with lived experience. I hope it’s been helpful.

I mentioned you in this, @turnoftheshrew.bsky.social

“Hope is not a balm for the reality of pain, it is a witness to it.”

And, from Canada’s treatment of Indigenous folks.

My dog has a few buttons so she can communicate with words, and one of the buttons says, “I love you.” I’m tickled pink when she pushes that one. (I’m not sure she means to push it, but I’ll take it, every time.)

This is SO cool!

Exactly.

It’s the same in Canada, without the insurers being in play, but cost is still definitely a factor. In the recommendations/guidelines, they cite incidental findings as the reasons for discouraging it. That and, making the patient worry needlessly which also feels inauthentic and secondary to cost.

It seems it’s like pulling teeth to get MRIs ordered, or even other diagnostic imaging. I’ve heard they’re discouraged because of potential incidental findings. They don’t want to find more things that might warrant exploration. But, that leaves people without answers or effective treatments. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Every day is a new chance to become more ourselves. Maybe you can think of a tiny thing you could do today or tomorrow that would make you feel more like you.

Close by, though? In this neigh-bourhood?

That is weird. Hm. Bodies can be so strange. And, I feel like there are so many more medical mysteries than we’d like to think there are.

Gastroparesis?

Yeah, I would not expect that there at all. Weird! Summerside’s full of surprises

Ok I just google mapsed them, and there IS a 🍆 emoji in the window.. but like… there’s also a bunch of other imagery that seems unrelated..

Also, words on the sign, “and lots more…” doing some heavy lifting there

Ok what?!
July 12, 2025 at 1:23 AM
Ok, yeah, at least they said something.
