2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with #Endometriosis. I've had it for at least 11 years and it has likely been a major source of my #chronicpain. I'm having urgent surgery on August 1st. Hopefully this could reduce my pain. I am suffering deeply right now. Please send positive vibes x

When your appendix might be bursting but you are waiting 5 hours WITH YOUR WIFE for a CT scan because the technicians want a pregnancy test... I can laugh about it 2 weeks later.😂
Thankful I had a good nurse who realized the problem 🙌

A screenshot of a text message that says she's a married lesbian and has an IUD so your point is moot. Your nurse at the CT people 😆

A few precious moments #birding at the #beach with my wife🐦🌊
I could only stand by the car but it was the first time I got to be out in nature in way too long. Being housebound gets very old. ♿

I will send you a 1oz envelope for free (US only) if you will post them up around your town #Resistance via #stickers ! They can't erase us ♿🏳️‍🌈♀️
(DM your addy 📮)

Small note that says resistance via stickers. We will not let them be racist. Resistance via stickers is a positive way to send a message that we are not going anywhere and we deserve every human, right. Please post these stickers around your town/City I am sending them out for free to anyone who asks. Spread the words. Send me friends addresses who will help resist help remind people to be kind. Today and everyday the future will be brighter Image of stickers that say believe women, you cannot erase us, love wins, and a pride flag with a fist in front of it

Hit 3 bingos from my January card, going for a black out! This has been a fun way to set goals for my month without it feeling stressful or overwhelming.

Yesterday my wife and I went to the coffee&flower shop where we wrote our vows before we eloped, and where we celebrated our 1 year anniversary in October. No one was rude to me about my mobility aides (for once! yay!). Sometimes life is okay. 💖 #LoveWins 🏳️‍🌈 #disabledsky

I have watched this cardinal grow up from a tiny little helpless baby this year. I watched him learn how to fly and eat. Watched him when he was helpless and saw his dad feed him. Now he's a plump and independent birb. Hope is real. ❤️🤟

This made me smile. When my wife and I got married it was in front of a lake and a family of ducks with little ducklings swam up behind us during the ceremony, it was *magical*

Playing ukulele has historically been one of my favorite coping mechanisms, but my last #uke was lost in a move 4 years ago. My incredible wife bought me this new one, Betty, and I am in love with both of them ❤️

14 hours late with my New Year's toast bc I passed out at 7pm last night, due to an #FND episode the day before that caused a painful fall and inflammation flare up. Happy New Year's and please be thankful for your health ♿❤️‍🩹

This morning I had an urge to go to the beach and for once I actually felt like I would be able to drive the 10 mins. So I said f it and went, because I'll be in pain either way so I might as well have a moment of joy.
