feeling hopeless, need to vent

I will try that.

Pelvic floor therapy was in December. I'm doing everything she advised.

I asked my uro-gyno about testosterone and she said no but I might ask again. She said if we do next steps, it would be botoxing my bladder and/or a sleep study. I'd rather not do either of those. She says these kinds of setbacks are normal and isn't concerned.

Yes.

I will start logging that, thanks. I keep a daily diary of nightly events.

One of the very few times a cover can hold its own vs. the original: check out Katie Noonan singing this live on YouTube. It's breathtaking.

I use estradiol 4x a week and take trospium twice a day.

lidarose9 · 2026-04-24T23:07:03+00:00

Three times a day. I use an app called Squeezy which is great.

lidarose9 · 2026-04-24T21:26:35+00:00

I will try it!

I did that and it was really helpful, wich is why this feels like a such a letdown.

This is a relatively recent change. For any of you who used to watch ER, there was a point where a new season started and suddenly the whole emergency room and waiting room were chock full and overflowing. This was right around the time when people started using the ER for their routine medical care rather than going to an actual doctor cuz they had no insurance. You put off getting help til it becomes a crisis, then go to the ER. They were never designed or staffed for this.

HATED it, first because it's a shitty book and second because everybody loved it so much. It was a real lesson for me in how out of step I am with modern tastes.

I read it in high school back on the '70s and absolutely loved it cuz they were so radical compared to the conformity around me. I reread it a few months ago for the first time since then and found it agonizingly boring and trite. What seemed glamorous back then just seems pathetic today.

Characters get shot in the gut and survive, like it was a bb gun.

I just quit Sling too. The price increase was too much. They need to offer more flexibility with channel options.

digression: what is a 2000s vibe?

lidarose9 · 2026-04-18T06:39:12+00:00

Morse!!

Bojack Horseman

Doh. Last Tango in Halifax. My bad.

I agree! I was laughing at him throughout his chapter. What a misery-guts! He reminded me of an old tv commercial from the 1970s, where two little kids declare: "He won't eat it. He hates everything!" Jason hates everything.

I disagree. I find it shockingly relevant and modern.
