The stress is making me physically ill 💗
#puffer talks#if i seem inactive for a while its because on Tuesday my sweet big baby puppy eko was diagnosed with osteosarcoma#so bone cancer#it is terminal so the choices we have to make are hard because its not about curing it but about how comfortable he is#it's in his front right leg and hes s really big dog so amputation is a hard decision#it is all very hard and terrible and i love him so much#it is so anti his nature#he is a big ball of silly and love#anyways im nauseous all the time and my pots is flaring up bad#i got my first good night of sleep last night#hes doing better on his meds rn but yeah

A lesser known implication of Jason Todd having long-term/chronic/belated onset Pit Madness is Ra's al Ghul's bones being extremely breakable
#i am actually 100% serious#thinking about the implications of comic book logic is so funny#i was pondering ways to discriminate Chronic Pit Madness Compatible VS non CPMC jason and came to that conclusion#dc#dc comics#pit madness#jason todd#red hood#ra's al ghul#lazarus pit#i wonder if riddler not being sick is another point in favour of of ra's bones being brittle...#would love someone who knows a lot about brain cancer's opinion on this#wait i just realised there could be the option of the lazarus pit CHOOSING between two methods depending on context#truly fascinating

ok my OTHER reflection:
on the one hand its really frustrating to see the posts about docs and healthcare in general on here be so narrow-minded. bad experiences with certain providers have lead to a huge spread of misinformation and mistrust with the whole system. which can and HAS lead to people avoiding 'evil' doctors for perfectly treatable illnesses and dying from them (the vaccine bullshit, anyone?)
but on the other hand. it is TERRIFYING how some of these docs practice medicine. at times i think 'are you just burned out and don't give a shit or are you straight up just stupid?' and i work in critical care. where quite literally every case is life or death. even in the academic sector where there is supposedly a standard of excellence, some doctors i would not let touch my loved ones with a ten foot pole.
and that sucks. i know this is the no nuance piss on the poor webbed site but 'the medical system and people that work for it are fallible and aspects of it are morally questionable at best/unethical at worst' AND 'the field of medicine exists to help people first and foremost and mistrusting/avoiding it can be detrimental in the long run' can and DO co-exist
#also. folks i hate to tell you but 'doctors get big pharma kickbacks and they can cure you but just choose not to to get more money'#is a very tempting conspiracy theory. but it is SO UNTRUE.#hey listen. if someone is telling you they can 'cure' your disease magically if you just take x vitamin THEY ARE LYING#even miraculous cures like bone marrow transplants for autoimmune disease and CAR-T therapy#have such severe side-effects that they quite literally kill you#i can't tell you how many times i've taken care of people who#had their cancer 'cured' but the treatment ruined their kidneys/heart/lungs#or fucked their immune system so bad that a common bacteria could completely take them out#anyone selling you miracles is L Y I N G#i understand that a lot of this anger is around disability and chronic illness and psych and i get that. intimately.#its 100% accurate to say that a patient who researched independently about ehlers-danlos or POTS knows more about it than i do.#and its hard to see the profession as 'people who sincerely ARE trying to help' when you actively work with people who fucking suck#and you think like 'you went to school. you went through all this training. you (presumably) passed boards'#we should have at least around the same level of knowledge#but that is often not the case#still#making large scale statements about an entire profession (especially when its supposed to be a civic service) is just... not good#my two cents rec for this is:#if you think you have something rare or unusual try to find a doc that specialized in this i.e. go to an academic center.#trainees are less set in their ways and can think outside the box PLUS if there are new/innovative treatments they would have them#if you need pretty much ANY surgery. private is the way to go#you want surgeons with high volume and experience#surgical techniques do not change on the dime. most havent changed in 50+ years. a lot of other medicine DOES#(this of course does not apply to specialized surgeries like whipple or PTE or schwannoma resection - go to academics for that)#if its REALLY rare whether medical or surgical your GP will not know what to do with you#academic centers are referral centers. they are more likely to have the right tools to diagnose/treat#where was i going with this?#oh yeah i had an odd interaction with an ED doc admitting to me last night that was NOT practicing within current standard of care#and was just so casual and assured i started to doubt MYself. like. am I the crazy one?!?!#like i'm young i dont know everything SURE

ahah yeah I love last minute plans
and being around people I don't know well (or at all) without an easy way to leave if I don't feel the vibe
and also I'm a big fan of family gatherings in general yeah, how did you guess!!
#jau rants#my aunt on my mom's side invited me to come visit on the first#two hours of train to reach them and then someone has to pick me at the station#I have been promised my parents wouldn't be there but I'm still insanely stressed about this#and yet I couldn't refuse. My aunt is in remission from bone cancer#and she's the one person on that side of the family that has reached out to me regularly since the Big Divide with my mom so... yeah#I hate this but I have to do it

Anonymous asked:
I just saw your Martin and Bosco post earlier today for the first time (after being on tumblr for years and years!)—I lost my Grandpa to multiple myeloma last summer, and it has been really difficult, both before and after his passing. It’s such a horrible, horrible disease. Your post literally brought tears to my eyes, it gave me so much joy. Thank you for sharing it on tumblr, I’m so happy they can live on through all of us. Much love from Chatham ON! :)
I’m so sorry to read about your Grandpa. Multiple Myeloma is a brutal disease - both my dad and my husband, Martin, died from it, so I understand how painful this loss is. I’m not sure if you’ll see my reply since you’re on Anon, but if you do, I’d gently encourage you to consider participating in the Multiple Myeloma March. For me, fundraising helped take some of the grief and turn it into something that could actually help other patients. Myeloma Canada makes it really easy to get involved. You can join a local team or do your own thing as a solo participant. Last year, I (with my mom) joined the Windsor-Essex team because the funds supported a research project at the University of Windsor. I liked knowing exactly what we were working towards - it felt like a real, tangible goal we could accomplish.
#multiple myeloma#myeloma canada#ask Laura#multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer#it breaks every bone in your body so the suffering is horrific

#kirby#daily kirby#my art#digital#hal laboratory#nintendo#I don't think I mentioned at the time because it was in the middle of kirb2k#but I had an appointment with a hematologist last week#they confirmed the culprit behind my chronic illness is definitely my mast cells#but I need to get a bone marrow biopsy next month to find out#if it's actually not-technically-autoimmune (mcas)#or if it's actually not-technically-cancer (mastocytosis)#which is actually good news cuz 1 someone finally confirmed my nearly 6 year old hypothesis instead of just agreeing (or disagreeing)#and 2 if it *is* mastocytosis they're gonna start medicating me A Lot more aggressively :)#which I need! I've been sick for right about 8 years now but it's gotten rapidly worse in the past 1-1.5 years#so clearly I'm badly under-medicated#(since I've been on all the same meds for 2 years except for my own emergency intervention.)#(I mean technically I've been chronically ill my whole life it just wasn't disabling until early 2016)#anyway I'm so tired I feel like a ragdoll half the time! sure hope I get adequate medication in a couple months!

My opinions about Ultra anatomy are long and convoluted and half of them are based on what I think would be funny, however I'm mostly sure Ultras don't have bones and when this idea struck me at 3am I had to bring it into reality
Break her bones and it'd be like a glowstick, I'd say shake her for good measure but that would end in murder
#I FORGOT TO POST THIS LAST NIGHT#I asked my friends who the 3 ultras in the corner should be so thank her for that#blazar being there is funny just for the fact he has looney tunes logic so bones would be terrifying for him#my art#my oc#ultraman#ultraman oc#ultrawoman cancer

If I'm being honest my mental health is probably at the lowest it's ever been since high school, maybe even lower.
#I'm just.....unable to imagine a better future right now#i feel like the world is specifically targeting me#my friend dying#my grandfather likely having cancer#my great uncle actually having cancer#my cousin having a mental breakdown#my grandma having cancer even though i know it's the mild kind#my brother being an ocean away and me having no way of keeping him safe#my people being maimed and slaughtered and raped#people everywhere#my neighbours classmates professors colleagues wishing for my and my people's deaths#it's too much#i was so happy just a few months ago#it was so easy to envision a better future#i can't even take care of myself now because i want to save energy for future me because i know in my bones the future will be worse#personal

midwestern gothic this suburban gothic that. who's ready for rust belt gothic
#txt#city of the dead at the end of another lost highway signs misleading to nowhere#city of the damned lost children with dirty faces today no one really seems to care#etc etc#growing up in a small rust belt town is a particular Vibe#midwestern gothic partially satisfies the Vibe but not entirely#its about the empty factories downtown#its about so much wealth inequality packed into four square miles#its about an entire neighborhood getting cancer from the chemicals dumped by a nearby factory#its about smoking weed in a public park w ur burnout high school friends and knowing not all of u will get out of here#its about jesus of suburbia by green day and moving in place by shauna dean cokeland#its about working in the same after school program i grew up in and finally understanding this town because nothing has really changed#its about that '15 miles on the erie canal' song#it's about the poem good bones by maggie smith#it's about how i hate this place and i love this place and i need to leave and i never want to be anywhere else#it's about potholes#it's about how the only mcdonalds in town is sitting empty now#it's about passing a hundred trump flags on my mile long walk to school in a blue state#it's about the little diner on main street that is still my favorite restaurant to this day

this week has been fucking awful I just wanna lay down somewhere quiet w my gf and cats. holy shit
#1. my painful wisdom tooth was found to have gnarly intricate hook that’s already grown into my sinus cavity.#so. removal and recovery and cost are going to make me explode already#2. my cat the next day was diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer after we found a mass under her tongue that can’t be removed.#and is not realistic in cost vs the fact it’ll probably keep returning since it’s an area that’s difficult to fully remove.#she’s having a harder time eating and it’s just reminding me of the same thing that happened to my extremely beloved childhood cat.#same thing happened to her until she was just bones and couldn’t stop drooling. it’s so painful to feel the life leaving something you love#3. our motherfucking upstairs neighbor’s god damn water heater broke and flooded all the apts under but we’re directly underneath.#bro I woke up to water pouring from our CEILING LIGHTS and cracks all over the ceiling. I had to physically smash the smoke alarm#ripped it from the ceiling since it’s ceiling socket was LEAKING but it shorted out and wouldn’t stop so I ripped the battery out#our carpet and shit is all torn up now with industrial fans and dehumidifiers. but it’s scaring my sick cat to not eating. it’s so sad#4. a towing place I forfeited my old ruined car to keeps sending notarized legal letters about it ending up In Situations.#despite the fact I signed it all completely over and it’s no longer my responsibility#there’s more but I’m tired of typing all this shit#coffee shop forgot to give me my donut and the coffee tasted bad too. that part isn’t any big deal at all lol it just made me start crying

ive avoided talking about this bc i feel like the second i do im gonna jinx it, but here i go.
my cat, whom ive had since kindergarten, got diagnosed with stomach cancer over a year ago. somewhere in january or febuary i think? i cant remember well
hes still alive. hes super thin and has been having coughing fits since before diagnosis, but hes still alive, and as energetic as ever. the vet told us to euthanize him "as soon as possible" because "hes probably hiding the pain" and the usual bullshit about how its inhumane to let him live with the pain. this is what my parents told me the vet said, at least. i was furious. we of course didnt get him euthanized, and as i already said, hes still alive.
to be honest, i dont really know why i made this post. i guess i was wondering if its normal for cats to live this long with cancer. or its a vent. i dont really know what to do, except keep loving my cat until he passes. its been a stressful time, constantly living like today is the last day i see him for a whole year. im exhausted. i dont know if the vet even said anything about his expected time left so its just been a guessing game. my distrust and hatred of the health care system has now been expanded to the animal health care system too. sigh
#tw animal death#tw cancer#tw dying animal#vent#strorb post#strorb text post#im okay btw. ive had a lot of time to come to terms with this#im grateful i got so much time with him#im just very tired#i dont remember what it was like petting him without feeling his bones
