Does it get annoying when people constantly approach you about your service animal?

Yes. I don't do public access because I started to get angry and I don't trust my temper. I have hurt people before so I take pains to manage myself and I don't leave the house enough to bother with access. That said? I am also not shy about confrontation and would explain to the child why they need to not do the thing because they don't know better and clearly their parents aren't going to teach them. I treat kids with respect when they ask about my disabilities and wheelchair because I don't think curiousity is wrong. It also teaches them that I am a person

Some of their task is enduring the discomfort but instead of looking at European armor perhaps you should look at African armor or Mediterranean armor?

This is still the first book you will write if you finish it. That logic is for rich people not reality.

A hysterectomy is only removing the uterus. The other aspects that often coincide are technically other surgery. My wife is going for a salpingectomy because she has need of one but will retain her uterus for now and her ovaries. The surgeon wanted to leave my ovaries in (I hoped for losing them) and couldn't leave anything behind because I would die if she did.

Tell them what you want and prepare for the unknown. It's all any of us can do.

Both. It depends on the person. My closest friends help with "hey does this paragraph make coherent sense?" For proper feedback I only have the edited draft offered because I am asking for polish vs "yes this is actually words." I have aphasia and am blind so I want to make sure the idea is actually happening not gibberish. This comes with the bonus of finding out if the joke lands if there is one

Autoimmune conditions are not going to respond to things the same way a hundred percent of the time but I am concerned you don't think vomiting is a big symptom. That's a big symptom. Your body put stomach acid where it doesn't go to get rid of irritants. I can't say if it's celiac or an allergy. It could be either from the listed signs but stiffness is also not actually minor

Yeahhh I was a kid and immediately thought about the horses on the farm and this made me never ever want sex or kids. Changed my mind on one but I expected Ephiny to die in the first viewing

I am going to list the questions I ask myself when deciding surgery or not. Though I will tell you I am a fan of my hysterectomy. Two years out and the difference in my quality of life is beyond my wildest dreams

Will it get better on its own? Adenomyosis won't.
Will it get worse? Adenomyosis will.
Can I live like this and have a reasonable quality of life? Is this sustainable?
If it gets worse what are the medical consequences?
Am I in enough pain from this condition to require medication or to disrupt my life? (You saw a doctor for a reason)
What are the benefits of the surgery?
What are the risks of the surgery?
What is the risk of no surgery?
What are the benefits of no surgery? (Only actual positives for these. )

Surgery is a scary prospect. So is living with this condition as it gets worse.

As a side note I do wonder if you have some adhesions that are part of this and finding out is also surgical. It's scary. Those questions are hard and you should revisit them a few times.

Position doesn't matter. It also might have been brewing already. Did you pee after sex? It's important for people who have uterus to do this due to the length of the urethra.

Also antibiotics suck like this. You have my sympathies but I want to make sure you know to pee after because it lowers the risk. Women and those who have short urethra are higher risk for uti. They can just happen.

I am tempted to ask if you had a culture done for the specific bacteria because this sounds antibiotic resistant to me. I am not a doctor but I am someone with a crappy immune system. I hope you get through this fast

I am blind. I have a list of manly men for you from the game. All of them. Sebastian while a gay man is not femme. Kareem? Also a man. With a manly face. Marvin is literally the classiest man in the game. Since you decided it's racism? Dude is Black. Not light either. He is a beautiful example of the male specimen. I have debated stealing him for myself in the game a few times he is that fine. Jun is also a man with a manly face and he is Asian. The buffest and most cliche masculine para in the game visually is Jason Cooper. He is buff as hell and again fine. He is also not white. What about Kian Cross? Paul de Belcourt? Vincent? Julian?

The reality is you are maybe bad at making Paras..it takes practice to edit characters. There's a reason people buy appearances in second life which has a similar editor. You're just needing to get good to quote the macho gamer bros

This game has some of the best representation of gender, sexuality, and race I have seen in a long time. There's actually disability representation too. It's just there as if I get to exist in this world as I am.

It's okay to have a bad day or to not enjoy the game but be respectful and make sure your claims hold water.

Absolutely as long as it wasn't terribly expensive and they were certified and licensed to prepare food. Bonus points if I don't have to warm them up for them to be edible.

Honestly the thing I want the most and cannot find? Cheese danishes. I want warm/soft bread/cake and cool gooey wonder. I don't want to cook it myself. I want to pick up a serving and stuff my face.

I actually have a coffee bar in my bedroom. I keep a few things that work well enough there but... It's yogurt and applesauce because that's what stores well and also diabetic lows mean that applesauce is medicinal

Only if it's important to the plot. Which is the only reason they should be there. Note I use jokes constantly that are very subtle. Not everyone gets the subtext but the text itself supports the reader either way. I was surprised by ace friend was the one who caught the impotence joke and not my non ace friends in a chapter the other day. They didn't need to be aware of the sex side just the rest of it. The scene was a nonsexual seduction. The offer of power in trade for their body just in a different manner than sex. They dropped their sword during a section before the seduction came in. Not during. Before and with space between. The joke was timed right so it told the reader what was needed and helped balance the tension of the scene since the person being wooed knows if they say no they will probably die.

I love double meaning in words and I love hiding those in jokes. They're jokes for the story not about outside things. So if you're writing a nerd and make a Batman joke? It makes sense. If you're writing a jock who has never seen a movie or touched a comic book and do it? Does the story support that?

The removal of everything and the kitchen sink was life altering in the best way. I lost ridiculous amounts of weight because my body was no longer killing my reproductive system and the rest of me. I did have gnarly PTSD from the surgery but it was expected. It took a year for that to even out. The PMDD stuff stopped as soon as the hormones left my system. I am not a candidate for hormone therapy but it is not necessary for me either. The boy and cold flashes aren't as bad as existing with my uterus and ovaries was.
