A Feeling Of Relief 32 Years In The Making

Since it's still too soon to grasp the emotional results of finally getting my mole removed, today's post is focused on a mix of the logistics of my life immediately following the procedure and some speculation about how I'll feel in a couple weeks.

After a lifetime of wanting it and a few weeks of dreading the impending appointment, I’ve finally gotten the mole removed from my face. As of writing this, I am sitting in my office, wondering how much my face is going to hurt once the acetaminophen wears off [turns out not at all, which is nice] as I try to carefully sip some water without stretching my upper lip too much or getting the bandage…

[unopenablebox]

also i have a theory that the reason i never got [redacted surgery] several years after diagnosis is bc i was using the same pool of energy for bargaining that i need to repeatedly beg doctors' offices to agree that i am allowed to use their service

[jupiterjunebug]

Sigh. Weve gotten to the parts of the narrative where my outline has a couple "idk, this thing happens somehow" and unfortunately making things a problem for future me has resulted in present me. Having problems

[melissa-benoists]

my mind is so scrambled because of my surgery tomorrow that i'm kinda just sitting here

[doesnotcontain]

tomorrow's my pre-op appointment and I'm so nervous and excited

Understanding Colorectal Cancer in detail: warning signs and symptoms 

Cancer is a disease that has become a concern for medical practitioners globally. Well! Thanks to the recent development in the sphere if identified and diagnosed in early stages it is curable to a large extent. Out of different types of cancer colorectal cancer is widening and spreading, recent researches point out the rise in the case of colorectal cancer. To treat and identify colorectal cancer—a potentially fatal condition—as soon as possible, it is imperative to recognize its warning signs and symptoms. Cancer of the colorectal tract, which comprises tumors of the colon and the rectum, usually starts as benign growths called polyps and advances gradually over several years. Early warning sign identification increases the chance of successful treatment and long-term survival by enabling prompt medical evaluation and intervention. In-depth information about colorectal cancer warning signs and symptoms will be provided in this guide, allowing readers to recognize potential warning signals and seek timely medical assistance. By raising awareness of the illness and appreciating its nuances, we can work together to combat colorectal cancer and improve the prognosis for those who are affected by it. 

For early detection and timely medical intervention, a complete grasp of the warning signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer is crucial. Colon or rectal colorectal cancer frequently starts as tiny, noncancerous growths known as polyps. If treatment is not received, these polyps may eventually grow into malignant tumors. Individuals can seek an immediate medical examination and potentially life-saving treatment by recognizing the warning signs and symptoms. The following is a thorough summary of the main indicators and symptoms of colorectal cancer: 

Bowel Habits: Constipation, diarrhea, and narrow or pencil-thin stools are just a few examples of unexpected but constant changes in bowel habits that can reveal a lot about any significant illness or changes in the body. These changes may be an indication of colon cancer. These changes may occur for unknown reasons and may persist for a considerable amount of time. A doctor or other provider should be consulted if you observe any of the aforementioned changes or if you have doubts about any physical change. After completing the test, seek clarification. Prompt identification or diagnosis facilitates prompt access to medical treatments. 

Blood in the Stool:  Changes in the stool may include the blood in stool, if you notice any stains of blood in the stool, also known as rectal bleeding, is a typical sign of colorectal cancer. Vibrant crimson blood might show up on toilet paper, in the toilet bowl, or together with feces. You must not ignore any of these symptoms faced by you, Additionally, bleeding originating higher up in the digestive tract may be indicated by dark, tarry stools (melena).  

Pain or discomfort in the abdomen: Your stomach tells a lot about your digestion and general health. If you experience digestive issues, this could be a sign of a medical condition. You may have colon cancer if you have stomach pain that does not go away with gas or bowel movement, as well as bloating, gas, cramps, or discomfort.  

stomach pain or discomfort that does not go away with gas or a bowel movement, as well as cramps, bloating, or gas. Colorectal cancer may be indicated by these symptoms. This pain could be coming from the pelvic or lower abdomen. 

Abrupt Loss of Weight:  if you feel any changes in your body or confront unexpected weight loss then you must not ignore them. If there are no dietary or exercise modifications, an inadvertent loss of weight may indicate the presence of colorectal cancer. Weight loss can happen quickly and naturally. It is pertinent to visit the healthcare provider and seek medical consultation on a timely basis. 

Fatigue and Weakness: Constant weakness, constipation, or a generalized feeling of un-wellness that does not go away when you rest could be signs of colon cancer. Although there is no precise diagnosis needed, if this symptom continues or gets worse over time, it should be checked out. 

Iron Deficiency Anaemia: Fatigue, palpitations, weakness, shortness of breath, and pale complexion are some of the symptoms of iron deficiency anaemia, which can be brought on by chronic bleeding from colon cancer. 

A tumor that has grown large enough to obstruct the intestine can cause symptoms in people with advanced colorectal cancer, including severe stomach discomfort, cramping, bloating, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and trouble passing gas or stool. 

The fact that similar symptoms may also arise from less serious conditions is notable. If you notice any of these warning signs, however, you should consult a healthcare professional at once, particularly if they persist or worsen over time. Additional testing and examination may be necessary, such as a stool test or colonoscopy. If colorectal cancer is detected and treated early, the chances of a full recovery increase, and the quality of life is significantly enhanced. Before treatment, detect and avoid colorectal cancer. When symptoms start to show up, those at average risk should start having routine screening tests, like colonoscopies, around age 45. 

LAB Tests for Confirmation of Colorectal Cancer 

If you confront any of the above symptoms your physician may advise you to undergo certain tests to ascertain and get confirmation of the same. You can also visit a clinic that provides you with Onsite Lab services. 

Test for Hidden Blood in Stool (FOBT): Looks for blood clots in stool that may be signs of colorectal cancer. 

Using antibodies specific to human haemoglobin, the fecal immunochemical Test (FIT), which is frequently more sensitive than FOBT, finds blood in the stool. 

The complete blood count, or CBC, measures haemoglobin levels and red blood cell count; low results may indicate anaemia linked to colorectal cancer. 

Abnormal results from liver function tests (LFTs) may point to colorectal cancer metastases in the liver. 

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test: This test measures blood levels of the antigen; increased levels can be used to assess treatment response or detect colorectal cancer. 

Genetic testing: Finds genetic abnormalities such as Lynch syndrome or FAP that are linked to an elevated risk of colorectal cancer. 

Colonoscopy: It is possible to detect and biopsy colorectal cancer by directly visualising the colon with a flexible tube equipped with a camera. 

Your physician will show you the exact picture of your physical condition after the physical tests are conducted. And your treatment will be started according to that.  

In summary, it is critical to recognize the warning signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer to facilitate early detection and timely treatment. Often beginning as benign polyps before developing into malignant tumors, colorectal cancer can proceed slowly over time. Early detection can result in urgent medical examinations and potentially life-saving interventions. Early indications include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, stomach discomfort, unexplained weight loss, exhaustion, and anemia. For colorectal cancer to be detected in its early stages, when treatment is most successful, routine screening tests are necessary. These procedures include colonoscopies, fecal occult blood tests, and genetic testing for high-risk individuals. We can enable people to take proactive measures toward prevention, early detection, and better outcomes by increasing knowledge and helping them comprehend the subtleties of colorectal cancer symptoms.  For seeking any confirmation or advice you can take consultation from Kingman Oncology an institute for any blood-related problems or concerns. Kingman is an established and renowned medical oncology clinic devoted to providing you with satisfactory services.

The Waiting Game

To really drive the point home to me, I finally had a consult last week for a fairly simple outpatient procedure. Afterward, they said they would contact me soon about scheduling the actual surgery, which looks to be some time in… September.

At this point, I'm kind of glad it's at least September of this year.

aio has never been accurate to anything ever but their treatment of jason’s brain surgery in 28 hours is so funny i just. ‘hey i got a super secret unknown microchip in my head that’s reading my thoughts, can you take it out?’ he asks some doctors in the waiting room and they’re like ‘hmmm experimental brain surgery that might kill you? sounds like a bad idea. we’ll get you sedated in thirty.’ the surgery takes about an hour. he starts seizing on the table while his brain is still open and almost dies, and then an evil doctor holds the two surgeons at gunpoint, also while his brain is still open. two days later he’s up and jumping connie’s car

[cetoddle-archive]

“Just don’t make me dumb, man, I want to keep everything about my mind totally intact,” I told my friend at the lab.

I was totally willing to go through the procedure but I didn’t want it messing with my intellect any – my job and lifestyle were too important to me.

They promised me a whole new masculine experience, that they could bring out the man in me in ways that were easily accessible through epigenetic therapy.

I’d be fitter, more energetic, more attractive and just altogether healthier. It was in the beta testing process and they said they’d throw in $3000 if I signed off, too. I’d only need to take a few weeks off work for an outpatient trial.

“That didn’t seem so bad,” I said after the doctor finished up removing the slow drip from my arm and the infusion was complete. Took two different bags of fluid but I mostly felt fine, if a little faint at first.

I got home and realized I was pretty tired so I stripped down and went to bed. I started noticing the changes the next day already. I did have more energy. My face seemed handsomer, just a tad. After two days I was feeling pretty into this.

It was the third day when I started noticing that I was getting beefier.

That was cool, I thought, but then I noticed I was feeling hornier, too. I ignored it at first, but by the end of the day I was jacking off in my bedroom, hard. I got up off my bed, still stroking my dick, to check myself out in the mirror.

“Looks hot,” I thought, stroking it slowly. If this stuff made my sex drive a little stronger, that was fine with me.

I started getting obsessed with checkin’ out the changes in the mirror, and I had so much energy that I started working out. I’d be doing pushups on my hardwood floor and getting excited over how I was going to flex in front of the bathroom mirror after I finished a set of 50.

I went back to the lab and they didn’t seem to think it was a problem.

So I figured, what the hell, I might as well enjoy this. Pretty soon I was hanging out in just my underwear all the time. That didn’t make me dumb, I knew, it just felt good. I might as well get into it, I figured.

Only problem is I got used to it pretty quick. I hate wearing clothes now, dudes.

I looked in the mirror one day and I just looked so fucking good with these thick pecs and the thicker stubble on my face. I figured I should have fun with a haircut so I got kind of a high and tight, cut real short though, and that just turned me on. Even my facial structure has changed from this shit they’re doing to me. My ears look like they stick out more, like some dumb ape or something, and that just makes me hard. I’ve hot this thick abdomen and these beefy deltoids. I feel like I look more like a football dude, even, and I started watching football even. Might as well have fun while I’m stuck in outpatient anyhow.

They told me it wouldn’t alter my mind any but it’s like I’m addicted to working out, flexing in the mirror, taking selfies, hooking up – with dudes – I just find em on my phone. I stopped reading. I look at these hairy legs and I get hard just touching em, I rub a hand across my pecs and my nipples are hard right away and I feel my cock jump up wanting a piece of the action. All I can think about is my goddamn cock, man.

So I took another week off work because I’m not ready to go back, and told myself on Monday I’d start getting ready to get my life on track. I just procrastinated the whole day, jacking off in bed, mostly, slowly stroking it. I guess my new bod’s so awesome that it’s just depressing to think of going back to the office.

My alarm goes off on Tuesday, and I throw it against the wall and say fuck it. One more day of fun’s not gonna hurt. Dudes, I look so fucking good. At least I’ll be productive today, I tell myself. So I start off the day with a ton of pushups, make myself a protein shake, and I look so ripped in the mirror that I figure I’ll score myself a hookup off Grindr. Guy comes over, and his hairy, hard pecs crushed against mine – my rubbing the short beard I’ve got started all up on his asshole, and that turns him on enough that he’s letting me lift his legs and plow the shit out of him..

After he’s gone, I’m back in front of the mirror saying “you fucking stud. Yeah you fuckin’ ape boy. Fuckin’ just want to fuck with dudes, don’t you, gay boy. Yeah you jocked up fuck. Just want to get naked and fuck, don’t you?”

Still hard, still horny, so just stroking my dick slowly while I put the game on for ambience. I don’t know how Thursday’s gonna shake out but today I just went out and bought a basketball hoop for the driveway so I could burn off some of this energy. Felt fuckin’ great, too, goin’ out in the sun in just some shorts and Nikes working on my game. Soon as I was back indoors though, man, just stripped back down to my underwear – I can’t stop admiring this body. Gotta get another dude over here to mess around with. Fuck work, man, you only live once, right?

Think I’m gonna pick up a big screen for the bedroom because that’d be pretty cool, and I just found out gay dues have their own hockey leagues you can join so I’m thinking of that. How hot would that be – those dudes are fuckin’ built, man, and I could pick it up pretty quick I bet.

Fuck, let me know if – oh, fuck it, I’m gonna order a pizza and see if I can find a hot hookup for tonight. Some dude with pecs as thick as mine and who’s like me slapping this cock all over his tongue for a couple of hours while I tease the shit out of his hot jock ass. Yeah man. Fuckin’ hot, man, I could pump a full load into some dude’s muscle butt and be ready to score again two hours later. That’s how good I feel. Friends with benefits, whatever you want to call it as long as it’s none of that lovey-dovey or dramatic shit – I’ve got em on the phone. Sex, muscle, good food and workin’ out, so glad I met those lab rats.

caring for you - mason mount

summary: following Mason's surgery, Y/N does everything in her power to take care of him and keep him comfortable, and his parents take note

pairing: Mason Mount x reader

word count: 2.2k

warnings/tags: brief mentions of surgery and medicine, PDA in front of parents, fluff

requested: yes!! here

notes: I'm back (for now)!! I'm about to start finals week, so hopefully I'll have more time to write once I've made it back home! I received this request a while ago, and I was thinking about writing something about taking care of Mason after his procedure last week, so I figured I'd combine the two! Hope you like it!

Also I feel like this started out really strong and the end is absolute garbage, so I'm very sorry about that

Since the moment the two of you had arrived at home from the hospital, you hadn’t let Mason leave his spot in the corner of the ‘L-shaped’ couch. As soon as you walked through the door, you had (gently) pushed him down onto the soft cushion, tucking a soft blanket over his legs. It was only a few minutes before you had a bottle of water and a couple of snacks by his side in case he needed them.

The surgery had been relatively minor, all things considered. It was an outpatient procedure, scheduled for the early hours of the day. So by the time it reached the late afternoon, the doctor had discharged Mason, instructing him to take it easy for the next couple of weeks to avoid agitating the incisions before easing back into his regular training regimen. The doctor had informed you that everything had gone very well and there should be nothing to be concerned about.

So of course, you were very concerned, just a ball of anxiety, making sure that Mason didn’t lift a finger for the rest of the day.

Mason had been pretty tired once the two of you had arrived home, so you left him to nap on the couch while you tidied up the rest of the house. Mason’s parents were making the drive up from Portsmouth to spend the evening in London. Mason hadn’t been able to see them in a while and took advantage of the free days he would have following his operation to invite them to spend some time with him (and you).

Part of you had been worried that Mason would be too exhausted after the early morning he’d had and the surgery to visit with them. But you also knew that, like you, Debbie would be worried about Mason following the procedure, and just being able to see him would do wonders to calm her nerves.

So as Mason took a well-deserved nap, you moved about the house, sweeping the floors, wiping down the counters, and making sure that everything had been put in its proper place. You washed the dishes that had accumulated in the sink over the last couple of days and put them away. You were sure to pass through the living room every few minutes to make sure Mason was still sleeping peacefully. You felt a warmth spread through your chest each time you checked on him, the blanket tucked up under his chin and a slight pout on his lips as his face was smushed into the pillow.

It came time for Mason to take the next dose of one of the medications the doctor had sent home with him, and he had just begun to stir from his nap as you sat down on the couch by his head. You reach out, threading your fingers through his hair as he began to blink his eyes open, humming at your gentle touch.

“How you feeling?” you spoke softly to him.

“ ‘m good,” he mumbled, a grin on his face as he looked up at you with nothing but pure adoration in his eyes.

You returned his smile. “Good. Well, it’s time for you to take your medicine.”

He sat up slowly, grunting with the effort, which instantly put you on edge, worried that he was in pain. He must have noticed the look on your face when he looked over at you.

“I’m fine. I promise,” he moved himself up on the couch so that he was sitting next to you. He placed his hand on the back of your neck, gingerly leaning over to kiss you on the forehead. “Stop worrying yourself so much.”

You smiled sheepishly at him, feeling a little silly for how worked up you had been the whole day, but you couldn’t really help it. You would truly do anything for Mason, and the thought of him in pain was something you never wanted to even consider.

“Your parents should be here any minute,” you informed him once he had swallowed the pills. “Dinner is almost ready, so we should be ready to eat as soon as they arrive. Are you feeling hungry?”

“Of course. Especially if it’s your cooking.”

“Oh, shut up, you.” He laughed at your deflection, knowing that you had no clue how to accept a complement. Even so, he delighted in giving them to you often, watching your cheeks flush red and your eyes dart to the ground.

It was only a few minutes before you heard the knock on the front door, knowing it could only be Debbie and Tony. You gave Mason a quick kiss, instructing him not to move from the couch as you walk to the door. You opened it, greeting his parents as they both pulled you into warm hugs. You had met Mason’s family several times before, but your relationship with them was still new enough that you felt nervous any time they came around. You felt as though you needed to somehow prove to them that you were worthy of their son’s love, despite Mason’s constant reassurance that it was unnecessary, insisting that they already loved you. You still tried your best, though, making sure that everything was perfect at the house before they came over.

You led them to the living room so that they could greet their son and told them you’d be in the kitchen, putting the final touches on the food you had prepared. You caught Mason’s eye before you turned away, and he flashed a quick grin at you.

You were dishing the food into bowls when Debbie entered the kitchen, a kind smile on her face as she offered your help. You informed her that you were nearly done, but she could help with carrying the dishes to the boys.

“He seems like he’s doing well,” she said.

You nodded in agreement. “I think so. He hasn’t told me he’s had any pain since we got home, and I just gave him another dose of the pain medicine that the doctor sent home with us before you got here. Though you and I both know that he probably wouldn’t say anything even if he was in pain.”

The two of you shared a laugh over the stubborn boy that was dear to both of your hearts.

“How are you doing?” she asked suddenly.

“M-me?” Her question caught you off-guard as you dished food into the fourth and final bowl, and you looked up at her. Her lips were drawn together in a tight line as she examined your face.

“Yes, you. I know you well enough to know you’ve been running yourself ragged all day to keep him comfortable.”

“Oh,” you breathed, a warm feeling spreading through your chest at her motherly concern. It meant more to you than she realized that she would express that kind of affection for you. “Y-yeah, I’m alright. He’s a pretty good patient, so he makes my job easy.” You pressed a smile to your face despite the emotions you felt welling up inside you.

You handed Debbie the bowls containing food for Tony and herself and let her know you’d be in the living room in a moment. She walked out of the kitchen, and you lingered behind for just a moment, dabbing the tears from the corners of your eyes in an attempt to keep your mascara from running.

Just that simple question from Mason’s mother was so important to you. Knowing that she approved of your relationship with her son and saw how much you wanted to take care of him—it did wonders to calm your nerves surrounding your relationship with her and Tony.

Once you had collected yourself, you picked up the two remaining bowls and met Mason, Tony, and Debbie in the living room. You had decided that it would be best for the four of you to eat on the couch so that Mason could remain comfortable, and you could all continue to visit together.

Plus, you knew Mason and his father really wanted to continue watching the football match that had started a mere 20 minutes ago.

As you approached Mason, he gently swung his legs off of the couch cushion, patting the space where his legs had just been to signal for you to sit down. You did so carefully, still holding both bowls of food and he placed his legs across your lap, draping the blanket back over both of your legs. You were a little taken back by the display of affection in front of his parents but brushed it off as you handed the bowl to him.

He gave you a curious look, brows slightly furrowed, as he noticed the misty look in your eyes. You just replied with a slight shake of your head, a signal that the two of you would talk later.

You eagerly watched Mason and your two guests as they took the first bite of their food. It was one of Debbie’s recipes and you hoped desperately that you hadn’t let them down with the dish. As soon as you knew Mason had a surgery coming up, you had texted Debbie asking for the recipe for his favorite meal of hers, wanting to spoil him after the procedure.

Debbie and Tony both smiled, humming in appreciation as they got their first taste, and Tony remarked how good it was. Mason, ever the dramatic one, let out a groan, dropping his head onto the back of the couch, using words like “incredible” and “scrumptious” as he voiced his gratitude for the meal. He merely grinned at the way you rolled your eyes at him while your cheeks flushed red.

By the time the halftime show was wrapping up, you were collecting everyone’s dishes and carrying them into the kitchen to tidy up. Debbie appeared moments later, pushing you back into the living room and insisting that it was “the least I could do” to clean up your kitchen. You hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave in.

You walked around behind the couch, threading your fingers through Mason’s hair to get his attention, He dropped his head back, eyes gazing up at you lovingly.

“Do you need anything?” you asked as you scratch his scalp lightly with your nails.

“Hmm,” he pretended to think for a moment before tapping his lips with his index finger. “Just a kiss.”

You laughed at him, leaning down as you held your hair out of the way so it wouldn’t get in Mason’s face. You pressed your lips to his gently, expecting to give him a quick peck. But Mason seemed to have other ideas, holding your face to his for a few seconds with a hand that had reached to the back of your head.

He let you pull back after a moment, and you gazed down at his upside-down face, adorning a lovestruck grin. You weren’t sure what had gotten into him today, but something had gotten him in a touchy and lovey mood.

“Anything else?” you whispered, caught slightly off-guard by his actions. Mason just shook his head, gesturing for you to come back to sit on the couch with him, and you resumed your position under his legs.

As you watched the football game, you did your best to keep up with Mason and Tony as they talked over the strategies of the teams and the technique of the players on the screen. The exhaustion of the day was finally catching up to you, and you felt your eyes slip closed, your head falling forward just slightly before you jolted awake.

Noticing this, Mason pulled you into his side and intertwined his legs with yours. Your head rested on his shoulder as he leaned back on the cushions, shuffling down slightly so that your neck wouldn’t be uncomfortable. Too tired to protest the PDA in front of his dad, you draped your arm over his stomach and quickly fell back asleep in the comfort of Mason’s arms. He ran the tips of his fingers over the skin of your arm, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your head every couple of minutes as he listened to your steady breathing.

A knowing smile took over Debbie’s face as she re-entered the living room after finishing up in the kitchen.

“She’s a keeper, that one,” she pointed to your sleeping form. Your cheek was pressed firmly to Mason’s chest, causing a slight pout to form on your lips.

He looked down at your face, a smile spread across his lips. “She’s just amazing,” he replied earnestly. “She’s so selfless and hardworking, always taking care of me. I don’t know what I would’ve done without her today.” He looked back up at his parents, holding you a little tighter. “I’m… really happy with her.”

Debbie and Tony smiled back at him, happy to see their son in a healthy and successful relationship.

“People like her are hard to come by,” Tony remarked. “You better do everything you can to keep her around.”

“Oh definitely,” Mason grinned, looking back to the football match on the TV screen. “At this point, if she leaves me, I’m going with her.”

Things I didn't know before I was pregnant

Morning sickness is a misnomer. It is every day all the time sickness. I am beginning to lose hope in this promised 2nd trimester glow I've heard so much about.

Baby stuff is gendered. Like, yeah I knew it was but oh my god. WTF. It's so fucking gendered. If you don't want your baby assigned princess or football player at birth you can choose from the incredibly tiny ungendered beige collection.

I can smell everything. All the time. I have a smell. It's disgusting. I can be fresh out of the shower, caked in deodorant, lotion, and perfume but if I raise my arms I will smell myself and it will make me sick.

Almost every recommendation given to pregnant people is couched in fear mongering over the outdated idea of IQ. Why shouldn't I eat certain fish, have caffeine, or experience any sort of stress? Because you'll lower your baby's ability to take a test that measures their class affiliation.

The major exception to this is anything that risks carrying listeria. Oh boy, I never thought before that my biggest fear would be a turkey sandwich. Thanks Boars Head! Now please, clean your fucking factory

There's a special type of diabetes that can show up seemingly randomly when you're pregnant and just goes away right after birth. Because hormones are stupid.

In fact everything your body does during pregnancy is fucking stupid. Oh I need to eat lots and mostly nutritiously to have a healthy baby? LMAO you can eat Doritos and plain quesadillas and that's it. Go ahead and try to eat a salad. You can't, and it probably has listeria too.

I've never been under so much pressure in my life to do everything perfectly *or else* yet I'm in no way equipped to do anything thanks to the constant nausea, pain, and fatigue. I went into this with a disability but pregnancy is itself also an acute disability. I'm functioning at 20% on a good day.

Everything makes me cry. The other day I thought about The Little Mermaid song when she says "what's a fire and why does it, what's the word, burn?" And started sobbing uncontrollably

I am more pro choice then ever before. I'm going through hell and I wanted this. Someone having to experience a fraction of this misery when they don't want the outcome AND there's a simple outpatient procedure to end it is inexcusable.

So yeah I'm pregnant LMAO it sucks ass 0/10 dnr but I'm looking forward to what comes after

WHY! CAN'T! MEDICAL! PROFESSIONALS! ANSWER! A! QUESTION?! VIA?! MESSAGE?!

"Hi! I was told to seek future urgent care for (y condition) at one of your locations. Do you perform (x procedure) at your clinic?"

"Your needs will be assessed at an appointment."

"But do you perform (x procedure) at all?"

"Our skilled doctors carry out many outpatient procedures."

"Does anyone there do (x procedure)? I am looking for someone who can do (x procedure)."

"Your doctor will develop a treatment plan at your initial appointment; we cannot evaluate your needs remotely."
