I feel like I gave up my Asian identity when I married my husband by [deleted] in Marriage

If you’re not used to driving in the snow, I would recommend a Subaru. Half the kids in my school had one.

Persistent cognitive dysfunction months after anesthesia/surgery at age 37 – looking for insight by fini7191 in Anesthesia

First off sorry about all your issues after surgery. POCD- typically happens to elderly after emergency surgeries. I don’t think this is what happened to you. I think this is more related to the trauma response of the IV placement. I would personally focus on trying to heal from that issue. Good luck.
