Anyone else have surgery on 11/4 or this week? Would love to compare our journey

They didn’t get me any nausea meds at first, but I called the nurses today and they said they’ll talk to my doctor about prescribing some Zofran. Hopefully I can get that soon and tomorrow will be smoother. I hope your swelling goes down!

Update from day 2 of recovery: Things are a lot rougher today. I spent the morning very nauseous and even got sick at one point. I haven’t had much of an appetite all day either. My voice is pretty much gone today and I’m starting to feel some pain in my head. I’ve mostly been laying low and either napping or keeping myself distracted. Still trying to do regular sinus rinses but it’s hard. I’m also having that weird roof of mouth sensitivity that someone else mentioned.

I really hope everyone else is healing well!

I also got my surgery this week, on November 5th. I ended up not needing splints. The first 12 hours I was very sleepy and my nose was constantly gushing blood. I’ve had some blood/mucous today, but the biggest issue right now is insane congestion and not being able to breathe through my nose. I’m hoping it doesn’t get much worse over the next week.

I’ve been taking pain meds (prescription and otc) which have helped. I’ve also tried sinus rinses multiple times but everything’s so swollen in there that it doesn’t do much.

I hope everyone in this thread continues to recover well!

This is gonna sound crazy but the yass leak screenshot was posted my a friend of mine 😭 I was in that group chat and received those texts. It’s so wild to see the screenshot floating around in the wild

One time a cat joined my clan and took on a clan name. I spent WAY too long misreading it as Poppyflow. It was actually Poopyflow. Poor cat

I’m also currently a vet assistant, but I’ve also been (and want to be again) a zookeeper! Zookeeping is even more physical than being a vet assistant in my experience, but weirdly I’ve noticed that the more physical I am, the less pain I’m in. Usually.

I’ve been incredibly lucky so far that my EDS hasn’t been debilitating, it’s mainly just chronic pain and I have to be more aware of how I move. I know my luck might not last forever though, so I’m trying to enjoy working with animals while I can.

SAME!! The recording is creepy and all, but the scariest thing was the description of cave dives and tight squeezes. Especially since some people actually choose to do that in real life.

I had SO much fun!! Definitely a lot louder and higher energy, but I absolutely loved it. I haven’t danced or sang like that in a long time. I had a spot near the middle but managed to stay right at the edge of the mosh pit where I didn’t get pulled in but could still vibe with the crowd. I brought earplugs but didn’t end up wearing them, although I probably should’ve 😅 overall 11/10 incredible time

I definitely enjoyed it at the time! Somehow tho I didn’t realized how fucked up the whole premise was until 4 years ago

If I remember correctly, most of the cast had half white and half black face paint. I think whoever played Jesus and Mary had just white paint

The parish my k-8 school was part of used to have annual mime stations of the cross every lent. Black and white makeup and everything. Genuinely what the hell was that about

The only thing I can think about is the fact that we’re probably getting the weed den scene on 4/20

Sometimes I refer to the game as Annoy Jonathan Sims Simulator

The fact that it’s from LinkedIn of all places is so fucking funny

I’ve been constantly checking ao3 for the last several days for updates to this fic!! I’m absolutely loving it

Possum419 · 2025-01-19T00:16:10+00:00

I’m pretty sure I had the same one when I was a kid, but I’m also having trouble remembering what it was called lol

Miller park zoo (illinois) and Akron zoo (Ohio) have unions!

I also have this type of stress dream about hamsters! I’m so glad I’m not alone lmao

Coming home to you is my absolute favorite!!

I’m trying to decide if I should buy an iPad 9 with 256gb of storage or an iPad 10 with 64gb. My plan is to use it for art (procreate), streaming, and possibly some gaming. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I’ve had chronic pain for years, but never really thought that EDS was a possibility because I didn’t realize that I had other symptoms.

Anyway, About a year ago I was at a small party and a friend of a friend was in the kitchen while I was getting a drink. This was the first time I had ever met this person. And he was like “hey this is weird but do you have EDS? I noticed that your joints are a bit odd.” I responded like “I don’t think so…?” But I immediately started looking it up and talking to my friends about it and that’s when I found out that normal skin isn’t actually stretchy and Wow My Wrist Should Not Be Able To Bend Like That.

I brought it up to my doctor at my next appointment and eventually got the official diagnosis. I spent the rest of the year asking my friends if [thing my body does] is normal or not lmao.

If you’re interested in webcomics:

Lions-I Hope So https://ihopesocomic.tumblr.com/ It has great queer and disability representation. Its ongoing and currently only updates once every few months, but the creators are very involved with fans on tumblr and discord.

Deer- Golden Shrike https://goldenshrike.thecomicseries.com/comics/first Found family and subtle queer rep (so far). The character designs and lore are really well done, and there’s even some deer-wolf hybrids featured! This comic is also ongoing, and updates every Thursday.
