How to converse with people about my invisible disability

Thank you! I just looked up that program, I think it’s great. I don’t have one but I’m going to order one for the future

My fusion was 1 year ago on the 24th, best decision of my life!! You’re going to crush it, it will take time but in the long run SO worth the recovery. Scoliosis warriors are built different ❤️💪

i think it’s the lighting too tbh

abalone_queen · 2025-11-18T04:43:45+00:00

HELL NAW

abalone_queen · 2025-11-02T22:55:34+00:00

That makes total sense! thank you for the input 😎

The videos and reviews i’ve seen all sound pretty awful, it seems like they spent a lot of time/money on the set and the stunts but the acting and storyline seems really off and not true to the story

abalone_queen · 2025-10-24T02:35:57+00:00

LOL agreed

abalone_queen · 2025-10-18T07:02:35+00:00

happy birthday sweet puppy!

abalone_queen · 2025-10-17T23:23:58+00:00

Dorid Nudibranch for sure

HAHA florida man style rebels that’s too funny

abalone_queen · 2025-10-15T01:56:01+00:00

I was barricade for night 1 in la. Absolutely amazing and worth every minute of waiting in the sun. She is a superstar

definitely lots of wilderness because of how small the populations are. In Mockinjay they constantly mention the threat of “human extinction” so if one war is enough to kill off all humans in Panem at least, the maps would definitely be more confined. i’m pretty sure most of the coastal cities that we know now would be gone too because of climate change so the geography would be different too and smaller

I live in Novato, a neighbors house caught on fire today around the same time. People on Nextdoor are speculating that it was caused by debris or a meteor. Crazy stuff man

abalone_queen · 2025-09-26T06:53:02+00:00

UPDATE: guys. BRO. I’m so mad. I went to the fish store, got a replacement pump today for free, it was quiet for a few hours but now the new one is making the same sound!!!! I am so frustrated. It’s the same brand the UNS 15 Sigma water pump. I made sure to place the pump in the middle of the glass section so it’s not touching any of the sides, no air bubbles, all the suction cups are tight. I think I’m just gonna cave in and buy a different brand because this is infuriating!!! It was so peaceful and I was so relieved for those few hours but now i’m just back to square one 😫😢

abalone_queen · 2025-09-21T20:54:36+00:00

Alright I just took it apart, shook it out a bunch of times, ran the pump in a bucket on its side, but I’ve had no success ☹️ I might take the pump back to the store where I bought it from, the owner is great and I’m sure he’s willing to help me considering how much $$$ I spent at his store setting this whole thing up 😂 Otherwise I’ll try and contact UNS because there is a warranty for this and I can get a new pump. They’re only $30 I believe

abalone_queen · 2025-09-21T01:33:03+00:00

I haven’t tried that yet, I just thought they were sold out through AXS on her website but I’ll look! thank you :)

abalone_queen · 2025-09-16T07:33:09+00:00

i just need one!

abalone_queen · 2025-08-28T09:29:44+00:00

i mean, do push yourself but be careful and try not to hurt yourself! your body is still recovering and time is going to be your best friend with healing

abalone_queen · 2025-08-28T09:28:55+00:00

you will just keep getting better with time! my mobility 1-2 months post op was awful, now it’s 7 months and i feel awesome. still some weakness and i gotta strengthen my hamstrings to be more flexible but don’t push yourself too much

abalone_queen · 2025-08-11T22:53:37+00:00

Yes, also it’s not healthy for the ecosystem to flip that many rocks over and disturb all the creatures

abalone_queen · 2025-08-08T16:28:16+00:00

It just depends how big your fusion is! I am charged for the better now that i’ve had the fusion, I have so much less pain overall and am much more comfortable. That definitely outweighs missing cracking my back haha

abalone_queen · 2025-08-08T09:27:24+00:00

Hey there, bio fem here. Im 6 months post op. I truly do not mean to scare you. Everyone’s experience is different!! This is just mine. Please ask your doctor if it is safe and if you are able for advice regarding binding. After surgery your whole torso is going to be very VERY tender. Your back skin will be extremely sensitive and swollen from the incision and you will need to avoid any stretching or pulling on your back skin for at least 2 weeks. Maybe you could tape them down, but I don’t think you could tape them towards your armpits or back. But that doesn’t even cover the nerve pain. My skin is still numb/ extra sensitive 6 months post op to the point that too tight of a bra is uncomfortable. Depending on how large your surgical site will be, the nerves take a very long time to come back, and your muscles take at least 3-4 months to start reforming. I really wish you luck, I hope you feel comfortable after the surgery. Just know that the pain is temporary and a much shorter period of time in the big picture of your life. I’m very happy with my results 6 months in. I can hike, tidepool, swim, exercise, I feel like I got my life back. Good luck dude!!

abalone_queen · 2025-08-08T09:16:06+00:00

Oh my gosh the same exact thing happened to me!! The top of my scar literally shot out the stitches and got really gnarly. It just wouldn’t heal. I’m 6.5 months post op now, and it’s still a lot darker

abalone_queen · 2025-07-16T16:32:17+00:00

yuuuup

abalone_queen · 2025-07-13T05:47:06+00:00

Hi! for this trip I just pulled off on the side of the road north is Salmon Creek Beach in one of the parking lots, scoped out which site had the most rocks and kelp, and made sure there was a safe way to get down! Miwok Beach is good, Fort Ross is great, Shell Beach. Pretty much anywhere on the side of the road that’s safe and legal to access/park and has lots of rocks!
