It honestly baffles me that some people are so casually dismissive of animals' feelings. Istg some ppl only see pets like toys and are barely able to hide it
#vent post alert#but I'm just so frustrated#my mom's dog got hit by a car yesterday and she refused to take him to the vet#she said she doesn't have any money for it and that he's fine#physically he seems fine just bruised. I think he might have something internal but she's been very dismissive of that#anyway. he spent the whole night crying bc he was alone and terrified#I went upstairs and almost begged her to take him to the vet but she still refused saying he was fine#then she put him inside her house and he calmed down after a while#the next morning when she came downstairs to talk to me she kept being dismissive#saying he was fine in the end he just wanted attention#and I'm like yeah?? obviously?? he got hit by a car???? the poor thing is traumatized and terrified#ofc he doesn't want to be alone#and she hit me with the 'dogs don't get traumatized. he's just being dramatic'#I pointed out some dogs have psychological pregnancy so ofc they have psychological problems too#and THEN she hit me with 'but those are female dogs. males are different. because hormones' like. WHAT#this just in not only do human males not have feelings but now dog males don't either. because hormones.#I thought my mom was smarter than this tbh#istg her boyfriend is just making her more ignorant. bc this is the kind of bs I expected to hear from him but not from her#anyway I don't know what to do. I don't have money for the vet either bc I just had to pay for a surgery#we talked and she said she'll monitor the dog and if he looks like he's getting worse she'll take him to the vet#ig I'll have to settle for that#I love my mom but man. this is weird#I just didn't expect it from her#what's worse is that when it's just her and me it's one thing. but when her bf is around I feel like she gets different#like with me she agrees but then around him she doesn't?? how am I supposed to trust her that way#it's all just so weird. idk what to think or what to feel rn. I just feel bad#sleep.txt

#ok so i guess this is going to be exactly like a few months ago#where i knew i wanted my surgery but my parents reactions had me crying and seesawing thru my emotions every single day#literally yesterday i was resigned to staying here forever now today im calm and thinking maybe i could and should leave.#<- knowing that ill probably be crying again tomorrow.#dont ever put me in a situation etc etc#im sorry u guys ill make sure to employ the no-personal-posting-after-12-am rule again to ease the insanity on ur dash LOL#i hate that ive already had this much stress put upon me when nothing has even been confirmed. at all.

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore
now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week
#personal#and i have a working computer that's finally on windows 10 so that's one less thing to have background stress about#and i have a working phone for the first time in.. a year? 1.5 years? idfk. my previous phone was 16gb so i could fit like 2 apps#could barely take pictures (and couldnt store them) and couldnt update most of my apps because i couldnt update my os because no space#so every app ran slow and then eventually my phone would crash if i opened the storage section of the settings#so i couldnt even offload apps so i could delete them while keeping the data for when i downloaded them again#couldnt order medicine remotely because my chemist only lets you do that from the app (not the website)#couldnt control the aircon because that could only be done through an app#missed loads of stuff because i didnt have email notifications because i could only use my browser for emails#couldnt see tumblr polls on mobile because i couldnt update tumblr because i couldnt update my os#left the house less because i had to delete pokemon go and that genuinely helped me go for walks#ive been dealing with all that for a year so this is very exciting and such a ridiculous qol boost#it sucks how much something like that affects your life. what do you mean i need an app for everythingggg#but god im just glad peach is ok. like there was a moment when i was so stressed trying to update my computer because it wasnt working#and then she ate a small bit of food for the first time in 3 days and just. everything was suddenly fine again#and the other night i spent like 6 hrs just sitting here downloading and installing things on my computer#but it was fine because peach was on the chair next to me sleeping through the whole night and it was such a relief#my sister finally got her flight yesterday (after it was moved four days in a row) so that's just one less thing happening#ive started playing bg3 so that's cool and maybe ill get a chance to actually properly watch that new dav trailer lmao#that premiered at 2am on the first night peach was home from surgery and hadnt eaten or slept yet and i was too stressed to care about dav#and it really just went downhill for the next few days#god. ok. today is the first day i can actually breeaaaathe

#these past two weeks have been so intense that ive just.. not spoken about it once i got home from work#blocked it all out#my beloved colleague whose desk is next to mine has cancer#breast and uterus. she needs two major surgeries#they just diagnosed her two weeks ago#so we've been trying to deal with that as colleagues and friends#because we love and miss her and i am so deeply sad as well#but i feel like i couldn't process that at all bc two days after the news of her diagnosis i was asked to take on half of her work#on top of my fulltime#which i agreed to do bc i like her tasks and i want to help her and i also know i can do it#but it does feel very off bc i know i don't earn enough money for this workload to be long term and it is def like this#for the coming four months at least#so i did tell my manager that i would like a raise and. that bitch told me to BUY MORE SECOND HAND SHIT.#i seriously thought i saw my life flash before my eyes#then the day after she asked one of my colleagues who's been with the firm for over 30 years whether she was looking for another job maybe?#which caused that colleague to instantly go home in tears and be home from basically a nervous breakdown the past 1.5 week#which is her full right and i support her with all my heart but bc my management sucks it meant that we had to also carry her tasks ofc#i felt soooo spread thin and super super angry actually but i didn't even realise how angry i was until last thursday my colleague w cancer#came by the office. and talked about all of it. and i suddenly realised how sad i was but then also how angry#but i was just blocking it all out trying to stay afloat#bc we told her about what the manager had said and she said “i hope that i get the chance to really tell her how it is someday.”#“because the stress she causes with people can actually kill you. just look at me.”#and the rest of the day i felt so ready to be done with everything actually#but seeing her anger made me see my own anger#and released me of my own pent up emotions bc i had actual leg pains this week and it was purely psychosomatic#i then managed to tell some friends yesterday about what was going on and their outrage spurred me on even more#so today i emailed hr. demanding a raise#doing this amount of work while constantly feeling like the house is on fire while also struggling financially seriously makes me suicidal#and i am not joking#so.. if nothing comes of that im leaving that job and not looking back

oh wow the endometriosis post-op pain is. especially bad today
#it's been a slow recovery in general (it's only been a month tho)#but i went out on a date yesterday (went very well :3)#and it has Taken Me Out for today#i knew it would happen but still like. ow#why is it my right ovary what's goin on there 😭😭😭😭#been thinkin about how my last surgery was Six Hours Long#like i was just all fucked up in there#honestly i think the reason im so focused on still being in pain this long after recovery is#im subconsciously worried it'll grow back really fast again like last time#since i do have some on my pericardium and my diaphragm still#and maybe more up there who knows#just what my surgeon saw laparoscopically#i don't have as many and as severe thoracic symptoms as i do abdominal symptoms#so thoracic surgery isn't gonna happen at least if i don't get bad symptoms from that#still just. weird to know it's there#surgery tw#surgery#endometriosis#my whiny ass using tags as a diary again#i'm in ouchie though .. the endometriosis subreddits have been helping#like it's just nice to see other folks with the same issues

#apparently I’m not done being mad about this I’m sorry guys I gotta vent#my dad is like an ox and never sick and like not very understanding with health issues/general illness#which you’d think he would have been after having me the super sickly child with a ton of health issues but no#we have a positive Covid case in the house and I have the same fucking symptoms I just started later#I have taken two tests- one yesterday and one today#and he yelled at me saying I’m wasting tests and also that I’m apparently fine which like#even if I somehow don’t catch covid I’m still sick but okay dad 🫠#if it helps put things into a better perspective… did yall know that back in November after I had my 3rd fucking endometriosis surgery#he asked why I was off work for two weeks and why I didn’t go back the day after surgery?#like I had had this surgery twice before and at home recovery was also two weeks both those times#but moreover like sir I have 3 incisions in my abdomen and my job requires me to left 50lbs???#at which point he still insisted I was fine and was just being ‘dramatic’ 🙃#I wanna fucking scream#I’m lissed the fuck off#did yall know he nearly got me killed once because I had neurovirus and he refused to take me to the er?#I eventually lost consciousness from severe dehydration- he thought I was sleeping and continued to argue with my mom that I was fine 🫠#they eventually took me but I was unconscious for several hours and it took five bags of iv fluid for me to regain consciousness#and the doctor estimated I was about two hours away from death so like#yeah#if that gives yall a better idea of the shit I’m putting up with#I have like zero tolerance for dealing with his bullshit when I’m sick#it’s the trauma from not fucking being believed for years of my life about any of my illnesses#and like also the fucking almost dying part#fun times 🫠#I’m sorry I’m ranting so much today I’m just really fucking done and have no other outlet 🙃

i cannot be judged to give an accurate review of wisdom teeth extraction surgery because i was going to be panicked anyway, right? i'm not as sensitive to anesthesia as i wish i were, and oral pain has been some of the most intense pain i've ever experienced in my life (these experiences are common in natural redheads), and i was super anxious and unwilling to do this anyway. but. BUT. one thing i can say about that particular office that did mine this morning is. i have a particular allergy to a specific medication i was prescribed once via intravenous injection when i was 9. it gave me hives. i discontinued usage of it after a couple weeks. whenever i have to fill out any medical paper work since 2008 i have known the name of this medication and been prompt with informing correctly about it. and it is not a painkiller. but. they didn't tell me this after my paperwork, or during my consultation appointment, only AFTER i started crying half-consciously during the surgery when i was aware of my teeth being pulled and instruments being moved around in my mouth. only after the surgery did they tell my mom "yeah we didn't give her the painkiller because of her allergy to (specific medication)" and like. that's not really fun
#i'm still in pain but this morning during and immediately after the surgery i was awful#it was every bit as nightmarish as i feared the experience was going to be#i was aware; everything was just black. i could hear and feel everything i just couldn't move#i was moaning almost certainly bc i heard one of the ppl say 'aw why are you crying?'#i dont know if i actually said 'stop' allowed at any point but i was thinking it multiple times#the whole damn evening and early morning leading up to that i just kept thinking fuck it ive gotta get out of here#tales from diana#technically i didnt NEED my wisdom teeth removed like all that badly. they weren't in danger of rupturing#i think the biggest danger mentioned was one of my back lower wisdom teeth was sat particularly on a nerve#that could've led to loss of feeling in my lower lip#like the teeth were fully developed and everything and that was really all that i could've had as a concern#so i kept feeling like 'i dont even fucking need this why are they doing this to me'#i was very unreasonable to kaily when i got home since i had been crying like crazy. ive apologized profusely to her#she was like 'youre all messed up from the anesthesia' yeah maybe so#i also remember feeling like the things that the oral surgeons were saying were mocking/belittling to me but they probably weren't#like i was not in a situation where i could be consoled for what was about to happen.#eventually i took ibuprofen when i got home (a really large amount) and went back to sleep but i was surprised i could do that#what a horrible morning. and i didnthave the best day yesterday either#at least i never have to do that again

its only my second full day of recovery but its feeling a bit easier than my first surgery. maybe its the incision locations that make it easier to move? or the fact i spent over 24 hours in the hospital being taken care of? nurses were all great, i got fed, and iv fluids, and pain relief, and i got up and walked a lot so maybe that's helping too?
but i got home today and i was kind of dreading it just bc getting in and out of a bed with no handles is tough but honestly i'm just so happy to be out of there
#surgery mention#i thought this recovery would be tougher since im missing a whole organ this time?#i do not want this to be one of those famous last words moments#but i remember with the endo and the wisdom teeth i got really bad muscle aches from the anaesthesia? and that made it so hard to move#also im surprised they kept me the whole day yesterday for my endo one it was a morning surgery and they sent me home like 2 hours after

if you don't mind sharing, how are you feeling? how was your birth experience?
Im feeling good! Obviously in pain, but im getting painkillers so that helps😇 - well, they were worried about my bloodpressure at my local midwife tuesday noon so she sent me to the hospital, and they took blood tests - which showed pre-eclampsia and my liver numbers were a bit too low so it was necessary to get baby out so we would both be okay👍🏻 got started on the contraction inducing pills around dinner time tuesday, and took the last at 11pm.. the water broke at 1am and contractions started pretty quickly afterwards 😳 by 8.30am Wednesday he was out, finally hahah
#hurts like hell btw#one of my besties was with me all night until 7am#she went to work#and my mom came#first thing i told my mom after was she is only getting one grandchild#����😂#anywho#took a bit time getting his head out so i both ripped and they made a cut#so got stitches#and had to fast until 5pm yesterday#for the surgery part of getting stitches#so was a long day#much more chill today😇#bells got mail

i can start T today 🥳
#not fandom related#personal log stardate#i got the gel at the pharmacy after my dr appointment today#slept like shit and im still scared abt the test resluts. im supposed to call my dr's office next week for the results#if they're positive ill v likely need surgery for a tumor. as far as i could tell from google :c#it's a benign tumor btw as far as i know. the surgery should be endoscopic as well so it honestly could be way worse#still.#if ill need surgery ill ask my dr if i can wait until ive been on T for a while and get top surgery before going in for any other surgery#i rly dont want to be in the hospital as a woman 😵💫#but it gives me that little push that i needed to actually get surgery. sure ive always wanted it but taking all the steps to get it#is v hard and ive been avoiding it. but yesterday i thought what if i accidentally end up in a hospital#and ill be seen as a woman and ill be insanely uncomfortable in hospital gowns and it all will be v horrible indeed#so better start the transitioning steps that i want to take sooner than later#fear is a good motivator. helped me recover from my ed as well. that counselor at my old university was like#your ed behavior and sh behavior are getting too bad id recommend you go inpatient and i was like. impatient? 😳#no way i was gonna do that so i decided to start fighting my ed and recover. which took several years but it was so worth it#anyway back to the good stuff! i can start T today!!!!!!! 😁#trans stuff#ed cw#sh cw

God I loved that in my neighborhood back where my lease is that the grass gets mowed at like 5pm or a bit later
Fuck ye outside my window I’m trying to go back to sleep
#dsps#dspd#dswpd#my mom just screamed at me for taking a sleeping pill to go back to bed#(which is unfortunately not uncommon. esp at my parents house where I can never get good sleep)#especially because my fucking body woke me up after 4 hours of sleep when I am trying to sleep as much as possible like 12+ hours#to fight off the fevers I’ve been intermittently having#and the yeast infection from hell and two different cold sores in 3 weeks despite#I literally paid for a hotel for two nights because I tried valiantly and failed to get any decent sleep at my parents house#even with melatonin and cbd and CBN and sleeping pills literally trying every *safe* combination#and then she accusingly asks me when I went to bed#like I’m not a fucking adult whose on fucking break. like I don’t have both adhd and fucking dsps#she just had joint surgery and I’m sorry I haven’t been able to help her as much#but I wasn’t even supposed to be here now?! I was supposed to fly back a week ago but had to cancel because I got sick#and have been running errands since#and also while sick#which has probably#made me fucking sicker?#like not yesterday but the two days before that I was running around doing errands with a fever. (covid negative)#I didn’t fucking ask to be sick or tomorrow be able to sleep in this house#and she fucking yelled at me that I have to go to bed at midnight#like bitch I don’t have to do anything#and thank you again for making me feel so profoundly misunderstood and unlistened to#and worthless because of my adhd and dsp#I really hope it was the pain from the surgery and her pain meds not having kicked in#because it was out of character#like I hate that this is one of the few times your hearing about her to build a picture about#as if anyone is reading these tags haha I am processing and venting#because she is usually wonderful and lovely#but she was a fucking bitch. she really hurt my feelings

you will be forced to spend one entire morning with your father and suddenly you are a little girl again, sitting in the car in silence with a book in hand waiting to get home as soon as possible
#rena.txt#i need to tag along for the whole morning bc he got a surgery done yesterday and the rich fuckers know no shame and force the working class#to work even after a surgery so i'm going with him to help him bc he's supposed to rest for a few days but alas...#after today my new gender is boat guy bc he works with ships and now i'll pretend i know everything about how those vespas of the sea work#anyways what we will even talk about. we never talk about anything we need a third to spark any type of interaction 8 out of 10 times. kill#me forever fr. tho the port is so beautiful and i love it :3

good news: the stray kitty i'm feeding got neutered
bad news: she's stuck inside for a recovery period and it's day 3 and i cannot get a wink of sleep
#turns out she is really hard to domesticate#and i mean#she had an hour of evening playtime yesterday plenty of bird watching too#i played her an hour of cat tv#she walked around and scratched and looked and basically i did all the enrichment i could in her circumstance#and yet today night she just wont let me sleep#she's constantly meowing and clawing at things and attempting to jump#i am at loss of how to manage with her and not lose my sanity over it#i'd get it if she didn't get playtime#but she absolutely did#she uses the litterbox too#and still wants out nonetheless#ehhhh#domi talks#i thought it'd be fine since she started spending more time in my room as of late#and sleeping whole nights here#but turns out nope#when she was right after the surgery she was obv just sleeping#but now that she's feeling better..... hhh
