Well, that was one hell of a week. Spent an evening beside a dead body in the ER, then a week in the ICU and acute care ward. There, I got to be a bystander for not one but two Code Blue incidents as the next two patients to share a room with me both coded and got moved to more intensive teams. o.x

If someone has to take medicine every day to survive, does that make them an obligate pharmavore?

One of the most frustrating things to have to deal with being on a medical diet is finding all literature contradicts each other. Like every list out there contradicts another list out there, and few things remain common. Really hard to figure out if I am making a mistake or the food is the problem.

This is a bit overdue, but @sneppermint.bsky.social got me a nice little commission done by @umigoomi.bsky.social a while back. Life has been chaotic so it just slipped my mind. Thank you, hun! And thank you to the artist for the snazzy work!

Can any adjust the difficulty setting on this game we're all playing right now? Or at least give me access to the console or my character sheet so I can see my debuffs and attributes?

Well, last few months have been an absolute whirlwind. Trying to collect myself. I've had my main PC die, been dealing with harsh side effects and hospitalizations due to new medication reactions with my body and had a visit from wonderful @sneppermint.bsky.social to help pick up the pieces a bit.

Having the local SPCA start showing up in my feeds with pictures and stories about various creatures needing homes without warning is an act of violence against my poor heart. All of them are wonderful creatures who need good homes and happiness that I can't give them in my situation ;_;

It's amazing how one small event, one short visit, can make returning home feel foreign, unnatural, out of place. That the home returned to is not where one feels they belong, that it's missing a presence one only began to know, an emptiness that lingers, a quietness overlooked before now glaring.

Recently received this lovely piece done by @crazyfoxlady.bsky.social ! It's so, so sweet, thank you so much for all of the hard work ;-; And thank you @patthefox.bsky.social for wanting to have this comfy bubble moment illustrated. I absolutely adore it 💚

I told you we’d be back

A rather belated shout-out (sorry!) for the excellent job that @kippycube.bsky.social did on a character reference sheet. Kippy was a pleasure to work with, both patient and helpful throughout the whole process. I'd highly recommend them! 🦊

Summary of the past few months: • Fought a fire (and won) • Started IV medication due to prior medication no longer being effective • Evacuate for an evening due to contractor causing a carbon monoxide bubble in building • Got crunched at work (OT) • Got laid off a week after crunch ended Blah

I need a bubble to just escape from time and the grind for survival for a while, to steal back lost hours spent in pain and unhappiness.

You'd think an important stakeholder to keep in the loop when scheduling a medical procedure would be the patient. but far be it from me to tell healthcare professionals how to run things. Calling them at the start time of the procedure, and asking if they're still coming is certainly the way to go.

I never thought that I'd be able to say I am literally radioactive once in my life, let alone twice, but here we are. Still no superpowers though.

I am growing rather tired of the inconsistency of what causes symptoms and their scale. Also, the limbo of being in a state where you know your body is about to be angry, but not knowing how intense, in what form it will be, and for how long it will last is exhausting.

I am terribad at social media. I keep forgetting accounts exist. Likely doesn't help my life has been occupied by other, rather focus-absorbing, things. Ugh.

Well, seems I have hopped on the X-it. Hello, all of you also fleeing the X-bird site.
