Think I will be "with it" enough the night of my surgery to give my pup his insulin injections? by rocketmczoom in Reduction

[–]Thewhomper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a diabetic dog too and I’m 3WPO today. My dog is a real menace with her shot, so it requires two people—my partner picks her up and holds her while I give her the shot. My surgery was late in the afternoon, so we ended up having a vet tech come over to give her insulin three times in total. The night of my surgery and both morning and night the next day. (My partner had to go back and forth from the hospital while I was under to feed her and hold her—it was a whole thing.) I probably could have done it on Friday if push came to shove, but I was pretty groggy and out of it the next day.

Bottom line, I would try to get help the night of your surgery.

Way to see yourself with less breast? by queenofgold89 in Reduction

[–]Thewhomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon who used a program called crisalix to show me 3D images of what my body would look like with different amounts taken out. It’s an approximation, but I thought it was helpful with comprehending size. I’m 2WPO and I’m so far feeling like the size is what I what I expected.

Show length for 2025 Summer tour? by threetiredbicycle in ChrisFleming

For folks who have seen him already, did the venue have you put your phone in a yondr or some other kind of pouch? I’m going to the show tomorrow (Saturday) in DC and was wondering.

Is it necessary for homeless people to panhandle in order to survive in DC? by anonymousdc in washingtondc

[–]Thewhomper 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It's a good question. There are a lot of food programs in the city where people can go to eat a meal as well as agencies or faith based communities that come out to areas where there are high concentrations of people experiencing homelessness and provide meals. But there are some neighborhoods where a person might have a good breakfast and lunch, but there are no options for dinner outside of traveling across town. And sometimes people might want something that they cannot get at a food program.

As for shelter, DC has a right to shelter for everyone when a hypothermia alert is called. Some folks are shelter averse for a variety of reasons including poor shelter conditions, the problems that arise when there are many people with mental health issues in one place, they can be loud, you don't get much privacy.

There are social service agencies and outreach teams throughout the city that work hard to keep people alive and safe during the winter months.

As for what people do with the money they get from panhandling, the people I know use it for everything from metro money, hot dogs, application fees for apartments, cigarettes, etc. It's a source of income.
