My mom’s patient care tech yesterday straight up could not believe I was 32. He asked me, “so how old are you, Caitlin” and he asked it like he thought he was talking to someone younger than him. And I looked at him like oh baby, no, you are the youngest person in this room rn and said “I am 32.” And he just stared at me and kept repeating it, then turned to my mom, who is high as hell on fentanyl, like “32?” And my mom giggled and said yeah, so he turned to my dad cuz clearly her loopy ass can’t be trusted, and my dad’s like yeah she’s 32. So he looked at me again and was like I never would have guessed you’re 32, you don’t look it at all. And I’m like yeah I get that a lot, how old are you? And he goes “…I’m 24” lmfao

I love how all the heroes in the new Scream series love Sydney Prescott. She’s not even in the new movie and Gale and the Carpenter sisters take a break from screaming at each other to basically say “I’M GLAD SYDNEY IS STAYING SAFE! SHE’S AN ANGEL AND DESERVES NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS”.

An Incidental Diagnosis of Dextrocardia on Chest X-ray during routine Evaluation in Post-op Resection of Acoustic Neuroma Patient by Harsh Rajesh Nathani in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

A 60-year-old male patient with a history of dizziness, frontal headache, and diabetic imbalances was admitted to the Neurology Outpatient Department. He had a history of bronchial asthma, kharra, tobacco chewing, and alcohol consumption. Due to his medical history, he experienced a convulsion, tongue injury, and a convulsion in the Neurosurgery ward. He was transferred to the NeuroICU and required intubation via tracheostomy. A physiotherapy regimen was initiated to address his condition and aid in his recovery. The patient presented with tachypnea and tachycardia, elevated respiratory and heart rate, and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of E3VTM4.

He had sluggish bilateral pupillary light reflex and a cough reflex. Cranial nerve assessments revealed impairments in cranial nerves 5, 6, 7, and 8, affecting mastication, lateral rectus movement, facial expressions, and auditory acuity. Corneal reflex was graded as diminished. Neurological examinations revealed reduced biceps and ankle jerk, absence of plantar response, and decreased muscle tone in the right upper limb. The patient was mechanically ventilated via tracheostomy in SIMV mode due to aspiration as a consequence of tongue injury. Arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis revealed the presence of uncompensated respiratory acidosis.

The audiogram exhibited moderately severe mixed hearing loss in the right ear and severe mixed hearing loss in the left ear. Postoperative head computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a calvarial defect on the left occipital bone, accompanied by an underlying mixed-density collection and multiple large air collections along the left cerebellopontine angle cistern. Additionally, the left tentorium exhibited overlying extracalvarial soft tissue swelling, consistent with postoperative changes. Several air foci were observed along the anterior falx and in the right temporal region. Routine investigation through chest X-ray, performed for the evaluation of lung fields due to the patient's tongue bite incident, revealed the presence of the heart on the right side and a heterogeneous opacity on the right side.

When I was 6 I said I wanted to become a doctor -> I became

When I was 17 I said I wanted to become an anesthesist -> I came close to pursuing surgery (unwillingly, let it be known i want nothing to do with this whole life what more work and people around it??)

When I was 26 all I wanted to do was cease to exist -> 32 now lol

When I was 28 I decided that what I need is a license to practice so I can reap my own fucking money my own fucking way -> I'm 32 and just got my license to practice and just got out to making my own fucking money my own fucking way and I'm scared as hell

I'm 32 now and all I want is enough money to ensure my luxury without working till I fucking die -> please God give me some jackpot please please pleaseee

I’m a lesbian. I’ve been dating a trans woman for years now. If you passed us while walking on the street; you’d see two women holding hands. I look more butch than she does. She’s been on hormones since childhood; got bottom surgery before I met her. If she didn’t tell me up front, I would never have known she was trans.

I didn’t think I would ever date a trans woman, but I am in love. She has lived the life of a woman for most of her life, and I have only loved her as a woman. Would you deny my lesbianism, despite the fact I’m attracted to the female form and she has a female form?

(This feels like bait but I'll answer anyway...)

Congratulations, you're bisexual. Me too, welcome to the club.

Your mistake is thinking femininity = womanhood and that's kinda sad for you as a woman. You're not less of a woman than anyone else because you're not feminine. Your partner is not a woman because he's feminine. He has not lived the life of a woman because he isn't a woman, he has lived the life of a feminine man. And that's just fine, it's great that you are happy together and expressing yourselves the way you want to. But to be a woman, you must be female. That's literally it. It's so, so simple.

Isabel, oblivious to the significance of the task, inquired out of pure curiosity. Her attention span didn't last too long before she moved on but she had been watching Kuchel for some time now, captivated by the act. In private moments, Isabel had tried her hand at it, only to meet with repeated failures.

A warm smile played across her face as she settled into a comfortable position, legs casually crossed beneath her, eyes fixated on the vibrant yellows and whites that appeared before her. "No ma'am, just puttin' flowers in Greg's mane and tail" she confessed with a polite demeanor, choosing courtesy when she saw fit.

so since today is my day off and i didn't (key word here) have anything pressing until this afternoon, i was planning on taking the poodle puppy to the vet to get his annual shots. he's due and he's the only dog that actually goes anywhere where there are strange dogs because he needs to be groomed, so this is for the health and safety of all five dogs and the cat. my mom comes home from the hospital tomorrow, and i'm not sure when i'll be able to leave her alone to take him in, so today was perfect. except that some guy has to deliver oxygen today.

rant under the cut

now i need y'all to understand that my mother has NEVER needed oxygen. she didn't need it until last week when her allergies were so bad she woke up choking on mucus, and her oxygen levels dropped and scared the nurses so they put her on oxygen, and now they can't seem to be able to wean her off of it. mind you, apparently "weaning" to these people is taking her off of it entirely and then making her stand for like ten minutes. she's been in inpatient physical therapy for a week and a half because the fucking hospital didn't get her out of bed for two fucking weeks after her emergency surgery and now she can't fucking walk, and standing for long periods of time was already difficult for her because of her back before the hospital, so they might as well have had her running down the fucking hall. yeah okay that's fucking genius, she's been on oxygen for like four days nonstop and y'all decide that "weaning" means taking it off entirely and making her do something strenuous for her. awesome. y'all are fucking stupid as shit, but okay. so naturally, she couldn't breathe when they took her off it so the doctor decided she needs oxygen. cool.

so back to homie bringing the fucking oxygen today. me and my dad have to go pick up a rental car for tomorrow because, again, these people fucking broke my mom and now she can't get into the truck. we have to pick it up at five. "oh don't worry i'll be there in the morning!" my dear friends, it is 1:30 pm and he still isn't fucking here. i have been sitting here doing FUCK ALL since 9:30, WHEN I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING THE DOG TO THE VET THAT IS AN HOUR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, waiting for Jimothy The Medical Supply Guy(tm) to bring oxygen my mother NEVER FUCKING NEEDED BEFORE THIS FUCKING ORDEAL. i have done NOTHING but stress out on my fucking day off from work because nobody on earth gives a single flying fuck about anybody but themselves. "oh we're here to make the lives of the family easier and more convenient!" my lily white fucking ass. if y'all hear a news story about a hospital in north texas [redacted] in the next week then expect a fucking hiatus i fucking guess (for legal reasons this is a joke...)

Can we just talk about this scene? The fact that the power of science is able to help this disabled pup live a normal life again.

I had a prosthetic for part of the year (an ostomy bag) because of my disability, so seeing something like this brought up in an anime literally brings tears to my eyes because it's true that thanks to my surgery I was able to do all of the things I had to miss out on when I was too sick to leave my bedroom.

Yesterday was my birthday!

In the past I typically love celebrating my birthday! That normally involves either game nights with friends or a fun trip. Last year and now this year due to health issues those things have been difficult to do.. Last year I was fresh out of surgery and this year I'm just a few days away from a major surgery. Because I can't do much to celebrate I figured I would share my wishlist for surgery recovery items. Since I have fibromyalgia I need all the recovery help I can get! I'm so ready for the surgery but I also know that recovery is going to be rough!

The wishlist link is here

And if you don't want to use Amazon, my PayPal and Venmo are both @SelinaMariaA and CashApp is $SelinaMAngotti

The reason for the surgery is that after having reoccurring blood clots we discovered that I have Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (vTOS). So to allow my veins to work properly I'm having decompression surgery, which will be removing my first rib on the problem side and possibly removing muscle, and I will probably need vein repair too. It's been hard dealing with this, my arm and shoulder has been just getting worse and worse. I'm so thankful that my hematologist recognized it for what it is!

It feels so good to be back home after surgery! ❤️‍🩹

I had a bowel resection and end ileostomy last week after dealing with an obstruction earlier this year. I started on biologics back in 2021, but unfortunately Humira wasn't enough to keep my Crohn's in remission because I started producing antibodies against it. Since my insurance took their sweet time approving Entyvio, I ended up with a bowel obstruction in March which almost resulted in an emergency surgery.

Thankfully, I was able to recover at home after narrowly avoiding emergency surgery. I was on TPN and a full liquid diet for a month and a half until my body was ready for surgery. I was told that I had to have a temporary ileostomy, but to me that was a small price to pay if it meant I could achieve remission for the first time in years.

Surgery went well, and although my in-patient stay was bumpy at times due to some nausea and vomiting, I'm feeling a lot better than I felt before surgery. My pain is controlled pretty well right now, and I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon and my regular gastroenterologist in a few weeks. I should be having my ileostomy reversal surgery by the end of summer!

I'm hoping that by the end of this ordeal I'll be able to have a good few years of remission from Crohn's Disease. This disease sucks so much and has taken so much out of me. But no matter what life throws at me, I'm not going to give up without a fight. 💪✨
